I kennel a dog with a bitch, no issues unless the bitch is in season. Either crate her up in the house or send her to a mate who's got the space while she's in if it's going to be a problem. My cocker bitch comes in every 9-12mths so its not really an issue, all depends on the dog obviously. I'm personally not a fan of spaying/snipping unless absolutely necessary, but like you said you don't have the room so needs must.

Photos or a more detailed description of markings etc will give people a better idea of who to look out for. Atb with your search hope Max is found soon

Get the basics built in first, might seem boring but they're the foundations for the rest of your training. Sit and stays, make sure you always return to him while he's young - don't recall him. Practice recall when he's minding his own business just whistle him in with loads of encouragement. One thing I learnt from my first spaniel is if you want to take them in the beating line don't let them wander too far away from you when you're on a walk, need to keep them nice and close, they will always range out once they're on game. Make sure he sits while you throw the tennis ball, if he moves you

3-5 days maximum is the usual, like others have said it would've been better to do your homework before they were born. Hope you get sorted

Your friend is right..........

There's a sprocker on the shoot I beat on and he's awesome, fearless in cover and steady as a rock. Not seen a bad one to be fair....back in the day springers and cockers came out the same litter - if it was small it was a cocker and vice versa. To be honest as long as the parents have a proven working background you won't go far wrong. Only my opinion though others might disagree

That's shocking, bit of a b*stard that the insurance wouldn't pay out either :thumbdown:
-
That's crap, never easy when you lose a good worker like that. Wonder what brought it on?

I agree. If you always return to the dog while it's young, it will gain confidence once it realises its got no reason to creep after you because you always come back. It's natural for her to want to stay close so it's all about building trust. A trainer once told me by calling it in off the sit you're telling it to sit and stay, then basically saying don't bother some good advice been given, let us know how you're getting on.
-
Have you tried putting her on the lead and only stepping the leads length away from her? She just needs confidence that you won't leave her behind so just start with small distances. Even if it's only a step it's something to build on. Every time she moves just put her back. As long as you're consistent and keep returning to her she will get the hang of it.

Nice little post that, thanks for sharing
