My Springer yelps and whines when she on a running bird. Did anybody ever come across this before? Maybe its common?

It's called "making noise".
Bet she likes retrieving.

Prob excitement. Is she young?
Hounds do that when they're on a scent so maybe she's just doing the same

My shooting buddy's springer yelps when its on a rabbitts scent but not on a bird.

Remember me?

Some dogs "give tongue" . Frowned upon when competing and a sending home offense but for rough shooting can be a good indicator.

She's 6. I did hear that it's a major fault in Trials. But I only rough shoot so it doesn't bother. Cam actually be handy

My dog will do it if there is a pheasant in a tree. I think it down to Frustration With Him.
