joeb8866 303 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi All, Is there anybody about bushing in around mid wales / powys area. I'm in Llandrindod got a 5 month old cocker/patt bitch who's growing soundly and i'd like to get her going slowly now and having no experience myself doesn't make the job easy. Here she is . Any help would be appreciated. ATB Joe B 2 Quote Link to post

joeb8866 303 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Crackin looking dog, looks quite big, how big is she? She isn't that big Dave, about 8kg now around 15tts. I reckon she'll finish up about 18tts at a guess! Sire was a big cocker and dam was a big patt so shes got a bit of growing to do yet to catch them up! Quote Link to post

It'll come! spend from now till xmas stock breaking before you show it any game pal-no rush still young.maybe after xmas get in the beating line and she how she fairs?Be a big help if you know someone with gundogs who can give you a few pointers. Hope all goes well for you both.atb dc 1 Quote Link to post

But not to worry i thought i'd walk down to where i saw it go and fair play she seemed keen on something sniffing around like a goodun, Next thing i know she was off into the cover for a look. I knew it can't of been too far away but was happy enough that she'd gone in..shes never been arsed before last night she entered a couple more times but nothing was running but even so step in the right direction i reckon. Hopefully she catches sight of one soon enough! atb - Joe 1 Quote Link to post
