I'v seen my cockers push through tight cover to eye wipe labs ! I have both for picking up, make a great team using labs for longer picks and cockers for sweeping areas at end of each drive, both work different to achieve the bagwhich is the important fact at end of day, cockers come in to their own on lost birds, lower to ground I think scenting ability exceeds labs !

Suppose if you are a cocker man then you would stick up for them......since i'm a lab man i'll say the cocker is never better at scenting lost birds ......imo of course...

Lab - Sorry mate, in this one you lose. Cockers are scientificly proven to have the best scenting abilities of the gun dog breeds. It's why they are the 1st choice of dog for drugs units etc. Only problem for cockers here is sending them far out into the really thick stuff for them to get a dropped bird, takes a lot to drag a big cock back through and over all that shit.

[/quote I beg to differ then mate, I'd have said the reason they were used were because of there size so they were easier managed and could get into small places, infact i would have seen more springers than cockers 'in' the drug squad!!!....:-)

I think that is also a reason.

 

But i think i'm right in what i say, rather than it being my opinion.

 

Anyway, i was saying cockers had better noses than labs Springers and cockers used to be born to the same litters after all.

 

More springers than cockers end up in the drug squad etc, your right, but that's mainly due to their popularity in general, and the fact that a lot of them end up in rescues (thats where they take a lot from).

 

My old man used to provide some springers for the police etc.
