How is Buster with other dogs?
Hi Shirley
Buster is just fine with other dogs. Obviously, still being a puppy, he does tend to get a bit over exuberent but that does not seem to have been a problem for him or the other dog to date.
When on his free exercise walks Buster vary rarely even lifts his nose from the ground. It is possible to tell when he has scented game because you can hear his tail ( complete ) slapping his flanks.
Tonight we took him for a walk around our local park, the park keeper spotted Buster, came over to us and asked if he was any good at rabbiting. I replied that at 17 weeks he was still just learning. He responded by asking if we could let Buster off his lead to see if he could identify where the little blighters were hiding.
We duly obliged.
After less than two minutes of frantic nose to the ground activity he dived into some thick shrubberies, seconds later two very startled rabbits came dashing out the other side with a rather exited Buster on their heels.
With Busters blood lines and natural bias towards field work, I really do think he is a working cocker.
May I also take this opportunity to say that I hope I have not offended anyone with my post's. When I mentioned that I love my dog, it was not a reference to other owners not loving their dogs, just an opportunity to let other folk know how I feel about my beloved Buster.
Mike.
