Hi All
just a quick intro
My name is Glenn.
I live in York North Yorks
I've been popping in here now and again recently and think its a great fun forum so i took the liberty of joining.
I have owned a few dogs in my time
starting with my lurcher Dudley when i was 17. He was the sweetest, softest, friendliest ,thieving, robbing, hunting dog i've ever come across but what a mate.
followed by my springer Duke smashing little honest dog . worked superbly with the hawks but sadly died at 4 years with the big C.
followed by Plumb the brittany. Begged her of a keeper mate when Duke died at 18 months old. She never let me down and made 15. What a lady!
Followed by Molly the brittany. Got her as a pup and as family life got busier she never got the training for the field but she was a fab pet and best mate to my son.He always says she was so daft cos she was born on April Fools day.Mol died about 3 years ago and we have had a dog holiday ever since.
But i've polished the old dusty shotgun now i have time on my hands and the old times have come flooding back.
Started doing a bit of roost shooting and lost the odd bird i know a good dog would find.
So my dilemma is which model of mate to share it with...
i'm favouring a springer for the shooting but i shot over Plumb and they were both super but different.
Any way thats me and i look forward to chatting with you all.
Glenn

As a handler, its impossible to make your dog perform better than it is, but very easy to make it perform far worse.

In life, it is important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong.
