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
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

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.

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!

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 🙂

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?

'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"!
🙂
Some of the expressions on these dogs faces are classic, Ted looks like a great character.
What the hell is Ted?
He looks like a "cut and shut"!
He's a longdog (sighthound X sighthound), pretty sure he's a well stirred mix of greyhound / saluki / deerhound.
33 kilos, nearly three feet tall at his ears, and three brain cells (not all pulling in the same direction)
Drac, thanks. The younger ones are all from the same trialling breeder who is a good friend of Mrs M's. Could put you in touch but she only tends to have a litter every one or two years and she could sell them three times over to people she knows from the trialling world
Our Sally - a MAD 6 year old Cocker.... Nuts.

No worries Captain. Well if you heard she was having a litter I'd be interested but as it stands a lad at work has just out his bitch to line so waiting to hear about that.

course, sometimes they put you off your flow...[/url]
Ok, here are the boys...

The black and white Springer is Ted (my dog) and the liver and white Cocker is Ralph (the wife's dog).
This is Ted with his first proper retrieve...

Drac, good luck with that. If it goes right don't forget to post some photos in about 6 months
