Gundog Training Forum

Could somebody please post the full results?

Turned into a nice shooting dog and sold on. Do you happen to remember what the rest of this dogs pedigree was? I had a son of ghost and he was an absolute machine. I suspect Ghost didn't produce much on the trialling scene was because he had so much drive. But in hard cover with no scent what a dog.

Would that John quirk be the same man who used trial setters from cork?

Malvern, full brother to laganmill maestro but not as well built. Sired poppet rockets sire, ftch bramble taff.

I see the latest news is that Sprucehill Tevez is for sale.
Interesting that seeing as hes such a good dog.

I think I have touched a nerve.Well I can only go on my own experience.Which is not trialling and working tests. Where I hunt is for a minimum of game in tough country where a dog is expected to face cover for 4-5 hours min. The vast majority of people who I know that went down that Buddy road ended...

Hi paul, I look at Butlerstown Buddy as a well trained good gundog.But his value as a stud dog is poor in my opinion. This dog has had a lot of bitches.A lot of the pups are shy in temperament and small light boned dogs. True Tevez can hunt and hit briar.But one swallow doesnt make a summer.Your bud...

Too right.
His sire was hard Hunting but soft natured.
His dam made no grade whatsoever.
Did you ever see a good stud dog out of a poor bitch?

How many FTCHs has Butlerstown Buddy sired? good question.
Not many.
How many good shootin dogs ?
Not much more considering how many bitches he has had.
