I work my dogs although ayla is only a pup and most she does is a bit of ground work and moving the ducks forward at the moment, she has a good nose is swift nice hunting pattern and will I hope be a pleasure once she's fully trained. 

If you are interested in gundog work then there are lots of clubs that you can go to although you might have to travel a bit to find them.  Ayla goes to a class run for HPRs at the moment but its only basic obedience so the same sort of stuff she'll change once we move on to proper working tasks.

I work both my current cockers.   They work all year round  -  picking up and beating in the winter (pheasant and duck),  rough shooting ( rabbits mostly ) and pigeon shooting in the summer.    There is nothing more delightful than watching a cocker do exactly what he or she was born for.   This is Meg fetching a pheasant for me.   Not sure how to post pictures so I hope it works



For those who don’t like to participate in shooting, cockers are superb retrievers and many working tests are carried out using retrieving dummies rather than game. 

Have a go  - your dog will love it.

She is about 18 months now this is just a small shoot that I am beating on. My trainer is the gamekeeper there so we are just going to give her a little try out. Hopefullu by next season she will get fully fledged!

Yes I do. And they are all excellent hunting dogs, despite being purely showbred   :blink:

Sorry guys, could't really find any good photos  >:(. I don't think I have a single one with a dog with game in it's mouth :'(..

Helmi 10 weeks old retrieving a duckwing (she was too fast bringing it back  :shades:, so the photo is what it is).
