Lovely dogs, Jet&Copper. :grin: Is the sire a Contrail dog?
Here is my 'queen-anne- legged glorified sausage dog' :grin: [IMG] Yes, she is small, her ears are short and she hasn't got long flowing...
Excellent post, Kanie.:023: And I would love to see a photo of your dog.:grin:
Ripsnorterthe2nd, where can I find more info on how this prestigious title is won? The only information I can find with regards to the working side...
I am not assuming anything, I can only go by your posts. You have a show dog that you have shown, even though that is news to you, and you go for gun...
Ok, so you haven't shown your dog(s). My mistake. Must be someone else with your username that I am thinking of.;-)
What is apparent is the fact that you come from the show world and I come from the working side of gun dogs, and yes, it is unlikely that we will...
Ok, for some reason you are dead set against trialling and the dogs that run in field trials, but I must say I am not convinced that you totally...
I totally agree with Kanie, there are springers for everyone's needs and/or aesthetic views out there. It is definitely not one size fits all. I get...
Here are a couple of video clips from this year's cocker and springer championships. Both dogs are extremely fast with a lovely action. The cocker's...

Well, after carefully reading Rory Major's website I have come across a statement that I do whole heartedly agree with unlike your comment....
I just had a look at the website and Rory Major's dogs. There is quite a few FT CH, FTW and FTAW there. That's why I find the remark even more...
The first run in my last field trial at the beginning of the year lasted exactly 45 minutes. In that time my dog hunted in top gear from start to...
I don't agree with this. There is nothing simulated about a spaniel field trial. You are working the dogs on live game how could that possibly be...
It depends how keen a retriever she is. I don't steady mine up unless they are crazy about retrieving. I tend to do one or two little retrieves every...
Moleskins plus waterproof and thornproof treggings for me. The treggings are more comfortable to wear than over trousers but still keep you warm and...
Crikey, you are right! But I only found the page when I googled 'Felstead forced retrieve'. The article is clearly written by an American trainer...
Do you mean 'force fetch', something very common in America but thankfully unusual over here? I haven't seen that on the Felstead site.
It is simply a misprint. And as with anything on the internet, once it is out there it's there for all eternity. There is no such thing as a dual...
