Breedia Dog Forum
I strongly believe ability is something that is bred into a dog, but I also know from training my two half show bred Labradors, that you can instill...
To be quite honest, I don't have any personal experience of GR's, just seen them out working in the field, and they are beautiful dogs. I've spoken...
My OH would love a GR, but I think it might be a few years before we get round to it. There's quite a difference between some of the show and...
Oh bum, just noticed I spelt their name wrong too! Should really pay more attention, it is the detail that counts, after all!!
aeroler, good points, I'm just aghast that Chatham Hill thinks they are doing the FCR any justice with their actions and/or providing a good/better...
You can't have it both ways, you keep referring to the roots of the FCR, and how it was put together from other breed types as an attempt to justify...
It's also present in springers, and given the origins of the breeds, cockers, springers and obviously the American cocker, it almost certainly could...

What? Spaying equates to culling, really?? I think we're singing from very different hymn sheets here, I think I'll leave this thread to the...
I've taken great effort to make sure that my replies are taken as polite and not personal, or sarcastic, so I was surprised to see the sarcastic...
The point is, many breeds were used to create a breed, that was then bred to type, you can't necessarily improve a breed by hybridising with a...
I'm not sure what the wink is for, but yes, of course I knew about the history of the Labrador and other retrievers being a mixed one. Even as late...
I prefer the working golden retriever, they look fabulous out on a shoot picking up. It could possibly be a reason why some of the yellow flat...
Chatham Hill, this thread's about yellow flat coats, I don't think you'll be popular trying to bring other breeds into disrepute with statements...
Chuckle, dna positive for FCR? But surely, if all these breed types are from a similar base, a dna test only tells you the roots of a breed, not...
So, and apologies for putting you on the spot here, how do you explain the sudden re-emergence of yellow flat coats in Northeren European countries,...
