poacher3161 1,766 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 nice looking bitch there poacher(only taken me 3 days to see it). Are springers a good dog for a newby gun dog owner or would i be better with a lab? As i said its for working cover and thats about it realy I have found the small type i keep pretty easey compaired to some terriers i have had in the past also so i have been told some of the trial bred springers can be an handfull.

Cockers can be quirky little things sometimes.A springer is more straight forward to train.I have a cocker bitch that should trial this coming season. Quote Link to post
