possibility of working her

[ips]

Not been able to post for a while due to technical issues but still here and still reading......so here goes another go

Yay, I think we are back in the room

Anyway here goes with an update for those who may be interested. We are doing nothing this season other than our little DIY syndicate and this year we are only a half gun . Eze is now a few months over 10 yrs old and has definitely slowed down so we are giving her an easy season which will possibly be her last but it's been one hell of a journey and a life experience that eze Lynn and I have thouroughly enjoyed. Updates to follow on the old girls (possible) last season

For the record the old girl reference is eze not Lynn

Well recovered IPS! Just see how Eze goes, they do slow up but as they have more experience they can still do a great job.

She does go up a gear if she gets on gamey ground, she flushed six pheasant out of our field the other day and seemed very pleased with herself I have no idea when I should retire her to be honest, or when I will know

Yes, time sure flew. Only seems like yesterday we were all chiming in to a novice cocker owner. You came out the other end well.

As to retirement, my lab was finished last year when it came to hunting or retrieving (especially on water) and only tagged along. However, this year he can’t even accompany us on good ground, so, sadly he’s house bound now. Bad hips, deafness and stability are rapidly taking over.

Now, as to Lind, she’s still striking in her game wear. Lol.

They usually tell you, I have one who is getting on a bit now and having been quite a keen water dog in her youth is not quite so enthusiastic about cold fast water as she was!
