She is a sprocker, cocker/springer cross.

She retrieved the rabbit, I only nicked its back. It was sat up right watching us! it crawled through the wire etc.

She is my best hunting buddy, she will flush birds,point deer and rabbit in fact she will semi point anything, retrieve small deer(try) and fox's, hunt squirrel and lets me know when she finds one UP the tree! Walks to heel unless told to hunt/flush. Likes water but the cold starves her quick so I have to be carefull there etc.Sometimes lazy but yields to a little pushing.

She can be very very cheeky and greedy but I love her :grin:

No she was a slip up! She was the last of the litter to go being very white but alas she is a gem.
We have had Labs too, capable dogs too and better in the cold!

Blessings.

Hope this isn't too far off topic. I had a Brittany once, and took him out pheasant hunting when he was just a pup. He was real birdy, and would chase the pheasant wing around until he was exhausted. We were walking along one of the many irrigation ditches, and he pointed. I didn't believe him, took another step, and flushed a rooster over the ditch. THe ditch was about 8 feet deep, so it would be impossible to retrieve the bird, so I didn't shoot. Buster just sat down and looked at me. Like he was saying, "I did my job, why didn't you do yours??"
