Lurcher91 328 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Was just wondering to your thoughts as if a young springer pup was brought up with hounds and thought to hunt with them could he open up with them in time Quote Link to post
Gypsydog94 4,623 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Don’t see why it wouldn’t open up. Mate got one that will run round a cover barking it head off at pheasants very annoying you can get hounds that run mute. So can’t see why a spaniel won’t open up Quote Link to post
fenman1# 724 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I sent a bitch in the summer over to Essex screams her head off on fox she's actually going to ground on them and marking and was bred off 2 mute gundogs 2 Quote Link to post
Lurcher91 328 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Did she just naturally open up fenman1# or did she get work with hounds at an early age Quote Link to post
SheepChaser 8,089 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Some are just noisy wankers, which is either due to something in the breeding or real bad luck, or they have been started too early and are over keen. But they can certainly yip on game. Quote Link to post

She put fox to ground last week and then bolted it a cross field for lurchers my mate refused 3 thousand same day she's like a steady beagle with her tongue 2 Quote Link to post
fenman1# 724 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Tbh I'm a diabetic and had trouble with my leg was in hospital for 5 months at point was seeing surgeons to amputate my leg so I had to get rid of a few dogs I had people looking after my dogs so I sent her to a good friend. breeding her to a barking cocker when she comes in season and getting a pair of pups back hopefully they bark too but I know two barkers don't mean pups will bark just live in hope Quote Link to post
Igz 1,478 Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I know of a cocker that was mute. Started hunting with a terrier beagle mix and just picked it up and now gives voice Quote Link to post
terryd 8,687 Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Wish our cocker had been mute the silly sod never shut up and that was before he even left the house Quote Link to post
