Re: *Warning* Murphy 11 weeks
I can now safely watch since I've made up my mind, it will be a spaniel pup this time! However, he's gorgeous, look at those big ears, he will be handsome! BTW is it cheesy to ask the breeder for a nice color for a cocker pup, preferably liver? Of course i choose pedigree and litter first but, once that's done, will they think me silly asking about color and markings?

Re: *Warning* Murphy 11 weeks
Murphy now 1 year old, training coming on well hes so keen to learn have to stop myself getting carried away with his progress 
Has been returning dummies to hand now & very steady when thrown out and thrown all around him.
Bought a Lite Recoil Dummy Launcher from Gundog Gear last week
He has heard gunshot from a distance before at the end off the season and did very well
I was out in the field a very long way from Public & local roads to try out my
our new training aid!
first of all got him sitting about 30ft /15m away then let off a blank shot with launcher with no dummy, just hand threw out one to try him out. never moved a muscle but Marked it until it landed then sent him `GO-back` to which he returned to hand.
tried another a few minutes later after allot of praise I then finished the exercise off with the real thing a 80 yard launch with him watching on from 15m away as soon as the luanched dummy had hit the grass I sent him out, He flew out keeping his mark and then returned to hand 
What star!!!!
i will continue to take my time with him but on a high at the moment in his training can only get better with maturity and steady training.
