The reason I don't train my dogs to pick up is because I never go picking up I expect them to dog in every day from july through january and on shoot days I can't pick up and run the beaters.there breeding is a mix of wernffrwd,game goer,ammerdown,maesydderwen and gwibernant

I hope your talking about the little ones you can put in your pocket.? Now there the proper bushers.....obviously no good at picking up but you cant have everything..... picking up no worries with these, though they aren't as specialized or as good as a lab for that task but for dogging in and rough shooting they excel far more drive and tenacity than most of the springers and labs I've seen How many poults do they catch in a season when your dogging in.......? Always fancied a wee cocker for beating purposes but dont do enough of that to warrant a dog for that. Someone i kno

Here's a thought lab I have 7 cockers and I believe you have 4 labs I bet there aren't 11 lurchers on this site could beat them at their job as gundogs. funny though all these years I have kept lurchers as well as cockers and I haven't ever thought I know lets run the lurcher beating today.

I read this alot about these top lurchers being better than 99% of the gundogs you have seen, it makes me wonder just how much 'proper' working gundogs you have actually seen and what kind of level you have seen.? Have you still got this gundog whipper or are you training up another 1? Makes me wonder mate to think after selectively breeding my line of cockers for over 20 years I could have just bought in a selection of random mongrels that would perform better than my kenneled stock :whistling: Who mentioned random mongrels (bit of shooting snobbery coming out there) I'm tal

Don't be dissing the cockers mate LOL these aint your usual toy/show type these are proper sized working dogs, we where going to change there affix to Dyson cause they have noses like hoovers :laugh:

I can see why it got pulled all the talk of shooting dogs then boys killing stock and burning stuff in retribution not exactly a good advert for the site

WOW thanks for that insight habitat loss,modern farming and increased predation have obviously had no bearing on lapwing decline it's cause they look like magpies :blink:
