bucknut 1 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Are Sprockers guaranteed to be smaller than spaniels? Excuse my ignorance if silly question as ive never seen one before, lads on our shoot only have labs and springers. You see the odd little springer but i believe you can not garantee getting a small one if picked at a young age/ ANY GEN WOULD BE GOOD AS INTERESTED IN GETTING A SMALL DOG FOR PIGEON SHOOTING.

One of my cockers is as big as a springer and he is only a year old so still time for more growing yet Quote Link to post
