Re: The Spaniel Spot

Just curious, as I am a rookie trainer you could say, but where would you even begin to look or check to know how to train your dog if you wanted to do field trials. I'm assuming their are certain things that would need to be trained that aren't necessarily needed if you are just the casual hunter. ...

Flusher or pointer

Hey everyone, This isn't meant to be a post to bash one another. Just a friendly conversation and to see different point of views. I am a flusher guy myself, for specifically, a FBECS and ESS guy. Never actually hunted behind a pointer. I'm just curious what everyone prefers, but more so, why? I kno...

Re: Which sex do you prefer?

I prefer females. Reason being, my fiancé said I can have any breed and as many as I like, as long as they are females. That works for me :D

Re: Whats your favorite dog breed? And why?

I am just a dog lover, period. But, my favorite would be a FBECS or ESS. For me, nothing beats these two breeds personalities. I was hooked after my first one.

Re: The Spaniel Spot

I've been following this thread for a while and I must say, it is great. I have a FBECS. I love showing what these little dogs can do. I certainly can't say I'm very experienced with training a gun dog, but so far she has turned out great. I am curious though, field trials intrigue me. I am wonderin...

I am located in Minnesota and have found some good breeders for each. But, I'm hoping anyone who knows of a reputable breeder for either breed can help out as I a...
