lewismac1 1 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Do some gundogs breeds excel at somethings others breeds dont or is it just a case of breed preference ,i saw a few cockers and springers working and they are busy little workers on the move all the time even when at heel you can see they are just waiting like springs to get sent on again Yes different breeds excell at different things, ex springers+cockers for working. Labs and goldens for retreiving Quote Link to post

My father had an absolute beler GSP a few years ago couldn ever leave him at home could break out of the run and always followed. The only time we would be leaving him home was a clwy pigeon shoot though. Quote Link to post
