Gundog Training Forum

Thanks for the comments folks!
The pups are my first litter from Bracken (on the left in the fells pic). I kept the two bitches to 'run on' to see which to keep but have ended up keeping them both !
Nice looking dog Elcourtbay, I had my pups tails (rightly or wrongly) docked that length. Bracken's is longer but as she kept damaging it every time I took her beating I decided to go a bit shorter with the pups. I strap Bracken's tail up each week now but the end is still a bald stump

Same here, my young bitch has a longer tail and is always whacking it and making it bleed.

Thank you, I am trying hard to ensure that I breed quality and choose a suitable sire for my bitches to get this sort of reslut!
