so the more expensive a dog the easier it is to train????

i dont have ANY experience with training gun dogs but know a couple of people who do...

and theyed both advice you to go for a springer out of working stuff as they seem to be easier to train than a cocker (can be alot more head strong)

 

if you post what type of work your going to be doing with the dog people will be able to advice you a bit easier

Hello Wullie, Erm what use will the dog be intended for. I would go for a Springer if you are after a spaniel, The lines you will see in 8 out of 10 pedigrees are Badgercourt & Rytex.

 

You won't go far wrong with a Springer which is out of worker 2 worker, like any terrier or lurcher, your success rate will be much higher.I'd go for a pup out of hard hunting steady parents, which have got a healthy amount of Ftch's in the lines but nothing too excessive.

 

If you take your time with the training you will have a decent dog on your hands.

 

Hope thats more of a help pal, if you need any help give me a shout on a PM, if your after a pup also, I'll help you locate one :thumbs:

If you are wanting a springer just for bushing try and find some one whos bred a litter that works them in the beating line week after week or some one who works them with lurchers or flushing for the hawk.They were some in my local free paper last week at £275 i have known lads to breed and charge less.The odd litter i breed they go for £150 to £200 but i can gaurantee they will be working cover at 7 month old wich anybody could with well bred working type springers.atb dell

[sorry but idon't agrea that you can work a spanial at seven mths all you will get is a wild dog working for itself i think you are giving some good advise about picking a dog but poor advise on the working of one./quote]

Hyper ft type ? A spaniel should be hyper thats why there called a springer and a cocker is called a cocker beause its cocksure of itself..

 

springers have drive stamina and out and out hunting ability to find flush and retrieve game same goes for the cocker..A pup from good solid stock should set u back 400 too 500 hundred .u should c the parents and how well trained biddable they are.There is no gaurantee buying from ft parents but you do have a better chance of getting a better dog..As for 7 months under controlled unless your Ian Opey Peter Richardson they aint trained.Mine free hunt till 7 to 9 month old they have a puppy hood ..They are encouraged to free hunt and encouraged to to stay within a reasonable distance the only repremand they will get if they stray too far or ignore me totally.. unless a bunny gets up and they chase try to hunt it ..then I know they have an inkling time to train...A retrieve in the garden or where there is little chance of a rabbhit getting up in front of them only till the drive and maturity kicks in then there energy is channelled by training...

 

For first dog Springer go and c someone who knows what hes doing buy from someone who trains dogs too a good standard and go from there...

IMHO i dont think you need to get a springer like a robot if its only use is to flush rabbits out for a waiting lurcher mine are tuned into the lurchers and vice versa.atb dell
