Leanne · Hello

Hi,

Thought I'd better introduce myself.

I have a 4 year old GWP and a 6 month old Working Cocker. I am currently training both to use as beating dogs. The GWP was my baptism of fire into training a working gundog and she has been a steep learning curve to say the least. She is still a work in progress but we have both learned a lot along the way. My aim is to try to enter her in the Gundog UK field tests some time this year and eventually to get her working on a local shoot. She is too bonkers for this at the moment but we will get there eventually!!

The WCS is a walk in the park comapred to the wire but then he has beneifted from everything that I learned with her Smile

It is interesting hearing how everyone is getting on

Cheers,

Leanne

Hi there

I too have a GWP and a working cocker and can agree with you completely - the cocker has been a much easier ride than the GWP but both have their own rewards!!! Wink

Thanks to all for your greetings.

I am in Devon which is great as ther are lots of opportunities to works the dogs on local shoots.

It sounds like I am not the only one who was taken by surprise by a wire Smile

They are great personalities but a lot of hard work. Worth it though!

Welcome Leanne

GWP's are great fun providing you don't weaken Laughing

We sold a puppy to someone down in Devon last year and to hear the wonderful type ground this puppy is exercised and trained on makes me very jealous !!
