Breedia Dog Forum
Why is it puzzling? He stated that a good working dog can be a field trial dog, just not the other way around. Not that he didn't like or agree with...
No he was talking all breeds, he has plenty! :lol: 45 minutes is only a very short space of time really in comparison to a full days hunting on a...
Here's his website. All I can suggest is you ring him and tell him you disagree? I do agree with what he says, field trials are simulated and as such...
It does make more sense, to me anyway! I dare you to Google cocking......:lol:
Both, but field trials don't really count for me as they're too simulated as are the dogs bred for a competition rather than for work. What was it...
It's a good job, cos in the words of Dragons Den "I'm out!". :lol:
The ones I've seen certainly don't! :lol:
Is that a serious question? :lol: Why aren't all Setters just called Setters and Pointers called Pointers, retrievers called Retrievers? Why...
Not often obviously, but there are times when the only real give away between the two is the white on the Springer! :lol:
I don't think it is anymore, hence my reply below.... The way I see it it's all historical and open to debate, but if the breed was called the...
And that's why I think the Woodcock story is more plausible. Again, no one is saying it was bred soley for Woodcock, just that it got a reputation...
Well if it was it's been bred out now cos I can't see any difference between the two breeds when working! :lol:
The gamekeeper was just an example, but I would imagine most get the point I was trying to make. I've seen lots of working type Springers and Cockers...
I personally don't think they were, or have ever, been bred just for that bird, more that they became better at working Woodcock due to the selection...
I always thought that Cockers got their name from the bird. When Springers and Cockers were all one breed they split off as the smaller of the...
I'll second that! :D
Yes I think being sticky is a common problem, at least with Wire Vizslas. Thank you for the offer of help too, much appreciated. The next time I'm in...
I did read something about the new assessments, but I just skim read it tbh. I don't think they would exclude crosses would they as they're not KC...
Thanks I'll try, but I'll warn you now I'm rubbish at getting pics! :blush: I think there are more dates in July and a mock over shoot day in...
Yes it is via HPRBA, they seem to have quite a few good training days throughout the year. I'm still waiting for Andy Cullen to set up some training...
