hi i had the very same problem just a few weeks back i finally got a nylon watch strap to fit from the cobblers shop. hope this helps. i'm sure you will get one for a couple of quid but i got stung as i told the bloke in the shop the price before asking and he could see i was desperate ...i also told him about deben's postage charges. rookie error on my part when i asked how much he said seven quid mate....ouch!!! but it saved me the postage eh!! this is it jay

swansea way nice photos pal springers look like they want that rabbit but know better than to touch it when the bird has it. cheers cheers "rickyspringer" he's around 9 now i had him given me some years back and he has been a great servant to the hawks i have flown, i don't have papers but he's out of housty kennels (mike sheford). the bitch in the pics is a sprocker and his daughter im developing my own line,for my own satisfaction i'm not big on paperwork really,,thamks again jay

a good days hawking my old boy close to retierment now jay

as stated get a good spaniel, english springer or cocker from good lines. Dave, the Viz is a young bitch that i intend training this summer shes around the 9 mnths mark now and will sit stay etc but the real work will start when the season finishes, regarding the cover the only experience i have is that whilst out walking the dogs the spaniels are hell for leather through the thickest of stuff but she tends to pick and choose definatley not as keen as a good springer, but im not worried as i want her for pointing for the hawk (she is showing a good nose) i have my spaniels for the trash:0)
-
hi, i use spaniels to flush for my hawk but love a good days ferreting and last year got me a lurcher bitch pup, took her out the other week for her first days ferreting and she behaved well,i have always been around lurchers since childhood and always said i'd have one in my kennels. here's "jil" grey/wheaton x bull/grey/whippet and "pepsi" home breed sprocker bitch chilling (after a good mark from the sprocker) whilst we net up. and the rest of the pack ) jason
