    Hi lads, have my long awaited ESS now , he is fully trained , 27mts old and I got to shoot over him before the season ended, it was a great experiance. I get to walk him twice a day, he is as happy as a pig in sh*t, but I dont know if I should get him company as he was trained with other dogs, I didnt mind spending money on him but dont have any funds for a second dog with a line? Any ideas on a second dog or should I leave him alone ? Any thoughts ?

    Great idea to get your dog a companion.It will help to socialise him and will stop him getting bored.

    Two options if you have little or no money.
    1.Buy something just for company(doesn't even need to be a gundog)
    2.Go to your local pound and see what they have.(even better talk to the dog warden and ask him to keep an eye out for a suitable dog for you)You solve 2 problems-you get a companion for your dog and the rescued dog gets a good home.

    you could keep an eye on the rescue dog pages for a young gundog that would come up and see how it goes, or get a pup with no lines fairly cheap on donedeal or the likes

    if he is being taken out regulary and is happy enough, I would let it be and give him all the attention,another strange dog, which might not have the right temprement might put him off. If it aint broken dont fix it
