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

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
