    IKC

    jangles replied to belucky's topic in Gundogs & Retrievers

    My opinion is that as your bitch is Irish Kennel Club registered then any pups she has (irrespective of sires registration origins) will be registered with the IKC. Sires details will just be added to the pups pedigree and identified with either Irish KC details or Royal Kennel Club (as they are known now) Hope this helps Jangles

    Only The Kennel Club can give out the titles of Field Trial Champion to dogs - anything else on a pedigree is added by breeder/owner.

    Try contacting BASC Scotland - they could give you details of Scottish guides registered with their organisation or give you a list of local wildfowling clubs you could contact. https://basc.org.uk/wildfowling/basc-registered-goose-guides/ Jangles

    Drakeshead Kennels deal mainly with their FTCH/FTW dogs standing at Stud and not so much at breeding for general sale - here's a list of current pups for sale from various bitches who have used Drakeshead dogs. All it takes is a phone call to the bitch owners... http://drakeshead.com/puppies.asp Jangles

    If you allow the dog to run amok in a situation like this then you are teaching him to ignore you. If he thinks he can get away with it (which he does) he will eventually start to run in on other drives.You have already answered your own question - put him back on a lead ! Wait until all the excitement has subsided then quietly give him just a 'few' retrieves. Jangles

    Meant to say if you don't have or access to a starting pistol just use party poppers - just make sure you remove the paper streamers first ! Jangles

    Assuming she retrieves why not get hold of some cold game then take her out for a training session - start with hunting her up then get a friend to clap their hands together to simulate a shot. Friend tosses bird ahead - blow your stop/sit whistle.then give her the retrieve - after a few sessions if all goes well substitute the hand clap with a starting pistol shot (gun well away from the dog) do same as before with the stop/sit - throw - command to retrieve. Watch your dog at this stage make sure she is happy and keen to retrieve - if she is feeling the pressure (lip licking/yawning) go back

    The correct answer without a doubt Jangles

    Tip No 1 --- Throw the launcher in a river Tip No 2 ... Do not go and look for it - ever ! Tip No 3 ... Give yourself a proper kick up the a**** for not putting your dog away in the car the first time you saw him 'fold' You do not take a young inexperienced dog beside somebody with a shotgun A gentle introduction to Shot is a crucial stage in a dogs training. Suggestion .. Stand well away from any Gun line and let him only retrieve during the lulls in the shooting (ask that nobody fires a shot when he is close bye) Once (hopefully) he shows no adverse reaction to the shots then sl

    Often a 1/3 is removed or sometimes the tails are measured to the hock then the excess is amputated .... the days when having only a stump are long gone. Jangles

    A serious big 'No' - Jeyes is only good for pouring down a drain. Keep well away from the dogs paws as they will absorb the stuff if the kennel floor is still wet. Jangles

    You could try contacting the Secretary of the Kent Working Spaniel Club - they may know of local member/s who may have a dog suitable for you. Jangles

    If you have trained or are training your dog to stop to a flush (be it fur or feather) then it wouldn't matter if your lurcher was to chase and catch. If you also intent going to the beating this training will help in keeping your dog steady when there are lots of birds running ahead/flushing. Once it's 100% steady then I think the dog deserves to get a few retrieves whether you do the shooting or somebody else does it - steadiness has to come first or else all your months of hard work will be gone in a few minutes Jangles

    Make sure you set your creel on 'hard' ground - rocks, avoid sand or mud covered places. Jangles

    Cockers v Springers ? Depends on your luck when you get your pup - modern bred Springers I think are a much 'softer' dog to train than they were years ago whereas Cockers can be more 'hard wired' but its all about how you go about training them - take time to train them, then practise what you train. If they are not ready for work leave them at home until they are- no point in spending weeks/days training then go and ruin them by letting them run riot on your first day out Jangles

    Introduce your whistle commands from an early age .... the 'sit/stop/drop to flush can be started when you go to feed it - begin with holding the dish above the pups head and it will probably sit - just as it begins to sit down give a little 'peep' with the whistle ... it will soon learn to sit when it hears the whistle else its going to have to wait for its dinner. It takes patience and practise - move from inside the house to outside and start again in different places and at different times. When the pup is playing around peep the whistle (only when the dog is close to you so you can gently

    As it is with all Pups retrieving is to be a fun game - set your pup up so that it gets channelled back to you with its retrieve in its early retrieving days, make a fuss with the pup and dont be in a hurry to take the retrieve from it - train simple stuff in the hallway, outside using a narrow passageway(rolled up sock, soft toy etc will do) Dont bore the dog with too much else it will start spitting it out. Training it to retrieve first and not the hunting else you will end up with just a hunting machine - oh and if you want to train heel walking leave that until last Jangles

    According to The Vet Times in July this company Bought By Many is offering lifetime insurance for working dogs from £22.46 a month. Vets fees up to £10,000 and £1m public liability - but best to read the small print to see exactly what they mean and do cover Jangles
