Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 She's 15-16 months Nothernlite and Lurcherlad. Got her waiting on command too but still hit and miss when I throw the dummy. She just wants to go. But we will get there. She goes left and right on hand signals and I'm working on the stop with a whistle. Not really needed for bushing but nice to have a bit of control and good stimulation for her. Jok must of been a bad pic of ferrets you seen. They are fat as butter. Rabbit, pheasant, hare or duck everyday... 2 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Bet shes smashing that cover gaz She quarters fields and woods like a spaniel. Doesn't go too far and keeps coming to within about 10 yards as if to say "is this okay what I'm doing?" before carrying on. My plummer went into every bit of cover wherever you were. Whereas this bull cocker will walk past 20 thick bushes or bramble patches without even looking at them which concerned me at first but I've come to learn she knows there's nothing at home. If there's something home she smashes through regardless how tight it is. Really surprised me given her size. The brother is the same. They're still young yet but will see some work this winter. I've got a few trips planned for them doing different things. 3 Quote Link to post
lurcherman 887 13,264 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 All cockers ive seen are like that. Springers on other hand will smash anything whether any things home or not. I havent made my mind up what i prefer but im quite sure i like them to check anyway just incase you never no theyve missed something 1 Quote Link to post
lurcherman 887 13,264 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I thought she was younger the way a few have said shes coming on now ect ect but at her age id exspect shes fully fledged ? Quote Link to post
