Shooting

[harry barker]

Well lads no fishing for me tomorrow,I'm out shooting all day I've joined a game shoot up wear-dale.
The quarry is pheasants,partridge,duck and woodcock.
The game keeper showed me over the land last week,what a wilderness with great woodland cover and heavy bracken for the game.
We running spaniels and black labs with the beaters what great dogs they are,I want a cocker but I've been told get a lab more sensible.
Anyone got a opinion on a good working dog.?

Relative of mine was heavily into the shooting game he had a black lab it was the most obedient and fearless dog I have ever seen not even a flinch when the guns went off never moved a muscle until he was told and whether the game came down in the water or wood he would always bring it back in same condition it was brought down in.

That's whats good about labs Mick,great water dogs,but spaniels are fearless,heed doon and go.
Its a hard decision to make mate,I want a good working dog but also a pet that would keep me company fishing and sailing and be a good mate, Iv'e got the time now to look after a dog now.

That's the thing a lot of people forget when they buy a dog they need a lot of time put into them to get the best out of them.ive got a border terrier and he's part of the family he's not a working dog just a pet but he's out at least twice a day for at least an hours walk each time and the rest of the time he's either in the garden or in the garage watching me tinkering on.

Hello Harry, meet "Newton".

He's 17 weeks old today and has me round the bend somdays but he's learning fast and I reckon me and him are gonna be good mates.
He's a "Sprocker" like Alan Charltons dog "Fergus".

hi harry
i had a working springer very similar in markings to ians
i have never came across a more loyal dog!!
she wasnt for working just a family dog but you could tell
she was from good stock because she was very easy to train
and it was a bit weird having her stop at a bush stock still until
you said "go on then" next thing they would be pigeons and
allsorrts flying out if the bush
in my opinion springers are the most exitable and loving dogs
you will have!! shes been gone now nearly 6years now but we
kind of have her still in our 7yr old border collie that our
springer brought up so you do see flashes of our old dog in our
collie today
i wish you all the best harry mate as you will enjoy every minute of it I
think
