Hi Wendy,
Sorry to her about Murphy not going out next season, but as long as he continues to enjoy life!
Harry is 8 months - and with the right hand i think he could be a good worker, at least he does everything our gundog trainer tells him too and he seems to approve!! I am not always strict enough with him though.
i think i would like to see how far we can go- if it is something we just do to keep his brain occupied or will go further, but i guess that comes to my time and not just the dog. I will not work him myself, im afraid i've taken him from kennels in the New forest to a central heated house in the midde of an estate where i work from home
!! we're on the edge of the forest though so plenty of walks etc.
its good to hear that even at 4 years old they can still be trained to work coming from his background.
Best of luck with them both, particularly murphy
Emma
