I remember years ago my springer hunting muntjac for the first time and doing well also laching on to one the lurcher caught and she had never seen or scented one before.

I used to bush with terriers for fox. Cut a long story short I now use 2 springers and wouldn't go back. These dogs are so versatile and will hunt anything you want. My older springer was brought over from Ireland and just used for rabbiting after a few outings she new what the new prey was. She is harder than some terriers and if old Charlie is laying up in a bramble she won't leave till his bolted. The pup is about a year and hitting cover hard when something is at home. My experience with these dogs is they just love to hunt and very easy to train.

Yes I think your right mate,they do love to hunt but I found they need to be left for it to come out before any heavy training starts. Do you think Cockers are the same or as good as Springers?

Know of a springer that is a very good gundog but will also slip down the 1st earth he comes on that is occupied,also remember an auld boy that i lived beside many years ago that had 2 blue roan cockers.He used these dogs mostly for rough shooting and duck shooting on ponds but in the end he had to be carefull where he was shooting as they would go to ground at the slightest chance if something was at home and they were not fussy about who or what was in.
