I've got 2 springers, 1 of which would struggle to find its own arse let alone anything else. The other 1 we got early December, she's 14 months and is naturally good at retrieving so I'm going to have a play around and see what I can get her to do. Dog training is new to me so it'll be YouTube, books and asking stupid questions on here.
The plan with the air rifle is mainly rabbit control during the warmer weather then it'll be on to the ferreting later in the year. Oh and trying to get rid of the bloody rats that are getting fat off my bird seed.
