Heads up , my girls want a small cute dog . Luckily they have fallen in love with a cocker while on Holliday . I can live with that . So want strict hunting line only .Sooner the better as I don't want something ending in "doodle" @Pointer @upnorthuplander
@kawhia has pups on the ground at the mo I think?
@upnorth uplander
All gone. Hopefully a bitch getting mated soon in case the docking changes.
@Munsey
Is it ok if they end in Zoo and start with Shit.
Because know your going to end up with a Shitzu don't you! :XD:
Awesome hunting dogs, which are very much underrated and overlooked here in NZ. ;)
Here's a mighty fine looking one all decked out ready for the hunt

They seem quite at home riding in the back of the ute too
Attachment 62211
This one has even sniffed out his quarry and immediately gone on the point. :)

But don't worry, all is not lost.
These carry bags don't just come in poofy pink .............. They also come in camo. :P

Show them to your girls ....... Get them on your side ....... Put your case to Mum .....And I'm sure they will all agree that
Munsey needs a hunting dog just like these. :thumbsup:
Cheers

What about Dollimore, Lake Tarawera
G
He has show rubbish
mate be carefull and get it right as we got burned by rushing...dog is now 7 and is nearly blind.....we have had no end of issues with his droopy eyes. ears no issue when they are turned on (this particular model seems to have ears and nose on same switch and only one works at a time)
Kawhia will sort you out and get it right....wait and get it right or it will sting you in the bum.....and it hurts big time.
Im in no Hurry , my gsp is in his comming on 7 , so I don't need a gun dog in the field for a couple of years .Just Looking to tag along with a spaniel gun dog club member firstly . I may be scared back into a Lab (dare I say it ) Yet ;)Quote:

Wait on Kawhia's litter, definitely your best bet.
There is a litter of sprokers on TM, but , even though the pedigrees on both sides are very solid I think the $1000 price tag for a cross is excessive.
Or wait until @upnorth uplander puts enzo the red setter over his cocker bitch for a top class flushing dog :P @Petros_mk is taking a pup thats how good they are haha
I dont fish enough to justify having one of those pups. :XD::D:P
erlandson already done it years ago.
That makes me miss the spaniels I grew up with.Quote:

Im in no huge hurry , but a side note , I spoke to my vet tonight ,asked her about the working lines she said there was someone in ch ch importing cocker gizz & she was asked to do the AI . She is looking into it as she was thinking it was working lines .
[QUOTE=Munsey;555711]There are other breeders, Bob Whitehead for instance, and for different purposes could be a better bet. For trials work or for a fanatic like me, I'd want the highest powered most driven pup I could locate, but that's not your brief. Please don't take this the wrong way, but most of the breeders of that "type" (high powered dog) probably wouldn't sell you one given your brief of family/lap/gundog. They will be more inclined to focus on triallers or people who do a lot of picking up etc. Kawhia's Mrs's cockers are solid working blood, driven, but not overly so, without being too hard to handle. Hence why I recommend them for your purpose. A better shooters dog.Quote:

This might do, be a bit smelly by now though
yeah it piss's me off, I have hunted with Trulock and have found it to be a very biddable line indeed. Self centered breeders promoting their own line become so yesterday indeed.
I've seen Upnorths' dog "Dex" plowing waist deep mud with Canada geese bigger than he is :) They definitely punch above their weight
Get a Springer spaniel , best dog i every had.
awesome hunting dogs , and great with kids .
I'll second that. Got the photos to prove it tooQuote:

I wouldn't say our dogs are lacking enough for the trials if that's your thing, I enjoyed having ago at them and didn't feel under gunned with our home bred dogs, time does not allow us to follow them as much as we would like, most of the guys and girls competing are childless or retired so we will simply don't have time, dogs and hunting take up the bulk of our time not chewed up by a young family and work.
But there are other breeders now producing and importing some really great working cockers...the future is great for the breed.

Everyone has an opinion, that is mine.Quote:

Baiting and a backhanded 'compliment' is not a compliment. Don't piss in his pocket and then tell him it's raining.Quote:
