Well I decided I wanted to make a real go of it and especially after keeping the Springer Spaniel I just want to try and get it to trialling standard so would really like someone to take me under their wing, I was never decided 100%, I just want to get into the sport even heavier!

Ideation 8,216 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm a wee bit confused mate, and this isn't a dig. From what I have read on here, you have some very well trained dogs. I would have thought that with a brace and a half of well trained spaniels, you would be welcome on most shoots, beating and picking up, and more I'm sure, if you were a tidy lad. In that environment, you are likely to meet folk who notice your dogs, your demeanour etc and you will most likely get some invites out shooting, working your dogs etc. What I'm trying to say, is if you have as handy dogs as you say, then it's them that will open the doors you want opened. If it's trialling your heart is set upon, that's a slightly different manner. When I was a kid, my old man lived and breathed trials and training dogs for that task . . . . it's a different world . . . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
