Hi I'm new to this forum and new to the gundog world, but I was happy to see Spaniel Folks amongst all the GSP crazies! My wife and I have been married for almost four years now, and September of '13 we bought our first dog. We live in an apartment with a 35lb limit, so my dreams of having my own golden retriever were short lived. Needless to say that 35lb limit forced me into the buying the best little bird dog I've owned. (Including my dogs growing up)
I was not expecting the level of energy however! walking behind my fathers golden retrievers one could imagine a man with a tuba following the dog around as he deliberately picked his way across the field. My dog on the other hand reminds me of the flight of the bumble bee.
Okay! what I want to know is this. Do you have a cocker? Do you hunt ruffed grouse? How did you come to own your first cocker? What is your best hunting story involving your pint sized bird dog?
GO!
