Sounds like you have never had a working dog before,

So my advice is to get a black lab from working stock .

 

Easy to train and have a steady pace, Watch out for chewing when left alone .

 

P.S i have had 2 ESS and 2 cockers i know the trouble they cause so that is why i advised a lab , now have a ESS and a border terrier[i also used to have lots of HAIR !]

i would get a cocker spaneil mate good all round dog but hard to train first dog they a bit head strong

I would go springer, but like someone has mentioned if its your forst dog a lab might be a good choice, go with what you like and be enthusiastic and you will definitely get some progress!!

Rough shooting is a wide spectrum.

Can you describe what you want your dog to do -mostly eg hunting up game/fur/vermin for you or retrieving or both.

Also the type of ground you will be shooting on - eg thick heavy cover,hedgerows upland moors as this will influence the best type of dog .

Springer or Cocker but having said that I used to have a lot of fun with a Jack Russel.

hiya,

i have a couple of sprockers, half springer, half cocker. great working dogs if you get from working lines.. they have the enthusiasm of springers with a little of the steadiness of cocker.. a bit more size than a working cocker that hit cover hard and work very well for me...

regards..

All the breeds mentioned will do a good job for you, so just go for the type you like best, not what others like.

You will bond better with it if you get your preferred breed.

Just my thoughts.
