Thread: Part time hunting dog?

We have had Working Cocker Spaniels for about twenty years they are small and manageable lifting over fences and the likes but work the best I have seen a working gun dog perform.

I used to take them beating on driven pheasant shoots back in Scotland when we never saw any others when we left Scotland there were a number had appeared many admired the speed and enthusiasm the Working Cocker's displayed.

They have the heart of a lion the speed of a cheetah and sometimes do what you want them to do.

They weigh half a lab and take half the space of a lab and eat half a lab but not at one sitting.

They are loyal great with kids and will not pull kids all over the place on a leash.

They are a do it all wee gun dog, we brought four with us from Scotland in 2008.

They also find and try to retrieve deer !!



Or you could befriend a feral cat no need to walk it comes and goes and goes as it pleases I hunt with her, its fun stalking mice in the paddock with the thermal we sneak up on the mice I put the light on them cat does the rest.

I also walk with the cat and when i see a rabbit I get the cats attention then throw a small stone near where the rabbit is hiding the cat goes to the stone then the chase is on its like watching a lion chase a gazelle.

She sleeps with the chickens, we have never lost a chicken or need poison or mouse traps since she adopted us and has killed a number of stoats.
