Good balancing trick with that weedkiller ^

Miley, uber thick.

hainey,

What sort of shooting do you want to do?

If you want to try clay pigeon shooting check out the CPSA website

If you want to get involved with Game shooting, try beating and check out the NOBS website or the PUBS website.

I hope this helps 😀

Nice pictures, and I'm allergic to dogs!

My brother in law has a gun dog and I was amazed and how well trained it is. We went for a walk, it stayed at his left knee, never one half body length ahead (don't want to get the head blow off by an accedental shot gun blast!). As a runner who gets reguarly 'inspected' by dogs when out on the trails, this was an eye opener. Nice looking dogs and I'm slightly jealous I can't own one.

this is my young springer pup "Arley" now just 8 months ans a bundle of fun. should be ready to work this time next year.

The Springer (Cloud) is beating today, in the snow!

Video of Cloud doing a Scurry

Friends Working Cocker, loves being photographed.

Great pics, but this is what dogs are for, no?

My little black sister, Lizzie; now in doggy heaven;

double post!

triple post!

Have really enjoyed seeing these pics – thanks everyone 8)

There's some real characters and in my dreams I will own a Cheseapeake Bay Retriever and a Curly-Coated Retriever. One dog is never enough!

Meanwhile, I must doff my cap to Stoner 😉

I'm propper excited now as I've just got off the phone with a lady and we're going to see a litter of Italian Spinones mext Monday 😆

Fingers crossed 😐

Hainey if you want to find a shoot that requires beaters near to you then one of the best places to start could be here.

http://pubs.myfunforum.org/index.php

Once you get into a shoot, then you can learn the ropes and perhaps end up shooting on a beaters day and taking it on from there.

Sorry to hijack your forum cinnamon_girl

Oh there is another forum for such things but they are a bunch of nobs

http://www.nobs.org.uk/

Ok but you have to pay to register, then rely on them ringing you and asking you to join a shoot, the other forum is much more easily useable and is free,

(we like free)

JEngledow – reckon a Spinone would be fun! Do post up pics if you choose one.

One of the lads on our shoot has a Spinone, he is a very characterful dog.

Tilly, our 6mo GWP. Like a Spinone, but more gangly.

CG – Ive been lucky to grow up around some wonderful dogs. I dont get to work dogs as often as I used to. In the family it's my mum and my bro who have the dogs now (our travelling for months at a time means we cant keep one), so I use theirs – fortunately they're never more than 15 minutes away 🙂

One day when we're more settled Ill get me a new Springer: Nickel Mk II 🙂

Given that I appear on this forum as a gundog I should try and put up images of her, and I will, just as soon as I work out how to link to fotopic.

Ah! Young dog

Going mental –

Mental Baz

dougal good luck with that gwp

should be calm in 3 yrs here's mine 4yrs old and still insane

i want one! all of them!

Jimmy! You can have mine! She just wrecked all the Christmas presents!

Fenboy – Yep, off her rocker. We had a crazy Springer before, so it's not too much of a shock.

robgarrioch – German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP). Like a GWP they have two modes: sleeping/wuss/cuddles and MENTAL.

This is Sasha, she's a springer cocker x; and not exactly a well trained gundog!!

Oscar(13yrs) and Molly(7yrs). Oscar's joints aren't as young as they used to be, he gets tired easily 🙁 Molly on the other hand is totally bonkers-crazy-mad-as-box-of-frogs-loopy-gah-gah 😀

Not working dogs but from working parents.

Gus…

Gundog by breed, Tree surgeon by trade

How about a Lion dog?!!

Appologies for the poor photography, he doesn't stay still long enough, he's coming up to 6 months old and likes to be busy!!

Well, most of the time 😆

My Grandparents used to run a shoot; always had gun dogs.

Tried a bit of intensive breeding…

My mate Adam has a GSP that fits the sleep / go mental / repeat to fade model mentioned above.

Made the local news a couple of years back for his theft of a rare and distinguished 'gift'

This is Paddy (friend's dog). He's a working dog who can't retrieve a stick!

Gorgeous hounds – you are all so lucky!

Meanwhile …

/goon and ted to the forum please/

(making an exception here cos I remember the pic of ted, a real character he looked 8))

Mrs M's current picking up team

and on a training day with friends

what a great picture Capt.

A friend of the family who beats on a number of shoots has a fleet of Black labs and cockers too. Lord knows how she keeps them in check 🙂

daisy dog in rare standing still shocker
the most utterly amazing trail blasting singletrack ripping beast ever. (slight bias here…)

I know I've said before Capt'n but those labs are yours are stunning examples of fine hounds. Where'd you get them from lost ours a few weeks back and Mrs is itching for a new dog?

Meanwhile …

/goon and ted to the forum please/

Oh, go on then…. 😀

He loves a his frizbee

But hates hot air balloons.

'Character' is one way of describing him….!

Beautiful photos, Goon. But that sure is one crazy looking dawg! 😀

He'd probably crap himself and run a mile at the sound of a gun, but still…

What the hell is Ted?
He looks like a "cut and shut"!

🙂
