American Cocker retrieving

this is a clip taken today of my show bred american cocker who as you can see here is capable of working in the field he has been shown at crufts and various other championship shows all over the country winning best of breed and various classes he is now ready to work his first shooting season starting next Thursday!... I have been training for this for the last 18 months and he is now ready. There are many people who doubt very much that the american cocker is capable of a full days work but let me reasure you that this is not the case... hope you can see and enjoy my clip :-D

Split off into own thread! :-D
In life, it is important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong.

What a game little dog. Was it a seen, memory or a blind retrieve? I always thought that the only thing that American cockers retrieved were budgies from behind sofas, glad to be proved wrong in his case.

Nice to see, i've had one at a course and it was nothing wrong with it at all aside the coat making it difficult for him, very alert and eager little boy as this one seem to be.

Extraordinary for an American cocker - who's training that dog, Pam, and by what methods? Congratulations to all involved - very nice work! A/V trials are next, one would hope - surely an American cocker would be eligible?
