    Well lads i am a beaming dog owner today was out with the 6month old bitch hunting her on rabbits when a crow flew over and was nailed, she marked the bird and ran out, was a little bit baffled as i was to see what she would do, but instinct kicked in and she picked the bird straight back to my feet.....DELIGHTED. 1st bird she ever saw nailed, The video posted obviously wasnt the first retrieve but i put her on the lead and a friend threw the crow out and i let her off just to let ye see. Also retrieved a live Grey backed one also soon after.

    Thank you for sharing that with us. It brought a lump to my throat, as my late father had a bitch just like that, called Curley.

    Just a quick update on my springer getting strong and steady. 18 months now going well cant fault her yet(my opinion) just hope my younger springer turns out to be half the bitch this one is!

    Just reading this thread, cant believe what i'm seeing.

    Hunting pheasants out of season! easily know you don't give a **** about breeding birds in your area.

    Hi lad keep your nose out if you have nothing good to say. As I said I was out walking my 2 springers and I normally work them ditches you see there for rabbits 2/3 times a week! It's over grown now so wasnt hunting rabbits just went for a walk, I have 2 young springers and will work these 2 fields in the summer time as much as I like lad, the more time out with them the better. And I didn't intentionally head out to find a pheasant, they normally don't come near the housing estate anyway. The next day lad before I will head out I will sit down with my 2 springers and ask them not to hunt a pheasant! Plenty of pheasants around this area lad 2 fields shouldn't make a bit of a difference.

    don't be telling me what i can and cant say lad, ill say what i like lad:cool:
    you put a picture up in the photo thread saying you flushed two cocks and a hen and you knew your dog was on them thats four birds you disturbed surely if you had any cop on you wouldn't be running your dogs during the breeding period.

    well its obvious its not all about the hunting season to you.
    their is plenty of other things you could be doing with your dogs in the off season. even for a fully trained dog if their is such a dog? their is plenty of work can be done out of the field.
