Last Saturday we had a great time training dogs. I had several folks come for field work with birds. Besides my regular dogs, we got to work a setter, brittany, and a bunch of American and English cocker spaniels. We had a ball working these dogs in the field. It is really fun to see a cocker spaniel bounding through brush working up a bird. Another huge reward was seeing a dog that I force fetched last fall come back and had a perfect retrieve every time.
I hope I get the chance again this fall to hunt behind one of these field breed cockers.
