why did u put it in the lurcher section

[forest 137]

do you not use bushing dogs with your lurchers?

[alan626 305]

this section is for lurchers there is another section for spaniels and pointers

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

You use cammo trousers for taking the lurchers out but don't put them in the lurcher section

[spindolero 1,110]

i think quite a few people use them for falconry so maybe ask there as well as gun dogs?

i have seen one and it was a nice looking type of thing.

Don't see the point of them tbh , your not garunteed that you will get the best of both breeds . If I wanted a dog to point and bush I'd get a Brittany

the some on pets4homes

A gwp will bush too if allowed to ( even very thick cover)

 

A wee terrier would be my choice for bushing, if I didn't want a dog which can go to ground then a cocker or a springer

 

The best of luck whichever you choose bud.

thanks for all of your replys iv herd of a gamekeeper on raby that kwnos alot about G.W.H.P croses .

Probs mainly the GWP x Labrador. A popular cross in the field. Ive never seen a spaniel/pointer but can only imagine they would be fecking workaholics that need a pretty good training plan.

my wee bro was a keeper on raby he,s got a few gwp x labs very good dogs and hard not scared of stuff that bites back

[forest 137]

iv been out with a lad who works a pointer and i was very imprest. i just think one crost with a spanial or a coker would be outstanding for thick cover

[dogs-n-natives 1,182]

I reckon the cross would work, and with determination. But surely for thick cover you want to keep size down, a springer or cocker would probably out perform anything bigger. But Ive owned and seen some cracking terrier/spaniels, a bit different to a spaniel workwise, as they will follow a line further, but not miles, and may give tounge freely on hot scent. Id like to see one though, so keep us posted if you go down that road. Cheers

i've only seen two pictures of a GWP x springer, one looked just like a tiny GWP, and the other looked like a springer but with a GWP shaped head and "beard". liked the look of both, and those PointerLabs are hellish good dogs, know a keeper who had one that worked well till it was 13!!
