Re: Transit box for Hilux?? Which one?

I have a hilux and I use a trans k9 in the back. Great product, great service. One warning.. It's not light! Ideally a two man lift. So depending how often it's on and off depends whether its weight is an issue

Re: Moving from dummy bird to real thing

From what I've read it seems you haven't been living here long. Why not find your local shoot and offer your service as a beater (without your dog to start with) and I'm sure you'll meet some great people who will point u in the right direction and if its like any shoot I've been to I'm sure they gi...

Re: Pick Of the Litter

To add to the question.... If the owner of the stud gets pick of the litter, does he or she get first choice over owner of the dam should he or she want to keep a pup. I guess there is no 'rule of thumb' but just something the individual breeders need to agree on??

Cocker retrieve (or not)

As we all know young cockers are known for running off with a retrieve or even running off and burying a retrieve! I'm interested in how others have used different methods to over come this habit of theirs.

Dropping on delivery

Hi all, have trouble with my cocker dropping cold or warm game short on delivery. She'll hold tennis balls or dummy's until I say 'dead'. Tried getting her to just 'hold' but proving virtually impossible, like she doesn't want it in her mouth. Oh, and she'll also hold fully feathered dummy ok. Look ...
