Breedia Dog Forum
I find with the "Groans and Turds" (LOL!) the ears are set too close together for my liking, and the coats are a bit fluffy looking. What about...
What is the problem with Dobes then? Are the working lines poor? A Malinois is worth a though too, not terribly keen on the other BSD's (yes, i'm...
I'm afraid to say i'm not keen on GSD's. I know they would be the perfect dog for WT but, although I can appreciate a good one, i'm just not taken...
The next discipline that I really want to get into with a future dog is working trials. I'm answering the points below based on my current situation...
I think another consideration would be the progression of the breeds you stated interested you and whether they are still primarily a working dog or...
HPR's are expected to range further than spaniels when out hunting too. I'm just recalling from memory here so am probably wrong but spaniels range...
From what i've seen of Brittany's (I train with a couple for starters) they are extremely hard hunters and cover ground at a considerable speed. They...
Triallers who own kennels will often sell older dogs on which they have part trained or whatever. Maybe the guy should look along these lines. Or, he...
I dont have a problem with moving a dog on if it isnt going to be able to perform the task for which you acquired it, provided the correct home is...
Yes, I would say he's a pure collie and not a cross. Collies come in so many colours and shapes that a good deal arent what you would call breed...
I've seen GWP x springers and they looked like little GWP's, nice looking dog. Just Googled images of this cross and they appear to look like...
I know you said you didnt want to talk about housing but you seem to be doing so anyway so i'll just throw in what I know to be true about the number...
Havent got time to read back over the posts but did anybody say Weims were difficult to train SB? I know people said they were challenging. I dont...
I agree with Labradork, weims are the odd one out in the HPR group, both in terms of temperament and style of working. I'd love a Brittany but again,...
Nope, dont own one personally but I adore this breed, definately on my wish list!
^^^ Fascinating stuff really. I much prefer to see a poodle with just a simple cut. I know of somebody who has 2 and she just keeps them trimmed, no...
There is no reason why you couldnt enter Louie in scurries because you have rabbits. Scurries are just simulated retrieving situations against the...
Indeed, I did not say that you couldnt train a poodle for gundog work - there have been many dogs of differing breeds working on shoots (I know of...
So, when you say pointers, you mean continental pointers and not the 'English' pointers? ;-)
I know Flynn has his faults such as barking and getting shirty with other dogs but he's easy as far as HPR's go. He's biddable, keen, isnt ruled by...
