"For the most part springers are very workmanlike, willing to follow orders and do the boss's bidding. Not so the cockers. They usually do exactly what they...
It's a shame neither you or the author have had the pleasure of hunting over good Cockers. I have owned both Springers and Cockers and hunted them for over 30...
Dennis; everyone wants to believe their breed of dog is better than the next. I loved my little cocker and she was a great hunter and retriever but so was my...

Since we live coast to coast, I thought this might give everyone a chuckle. It beats comenting on how great that hunt test in the August 90 degree heat was:) ...
... chuckle. ... degree heat ... Hi Chris, ... name. I was raised in Youngstown - where you didn't want *anyone* to know your name. Especially the Mafia! ... ...
I'm laughing as I read this. Andrew has told me several ?times that Springers will chase a training buck and bring it back to you all day - as long as you keep...
You gotta love these little dogs.......................... I just bought a nice 2 year old that is well started but would not pick up a dummy, tennis ball etc....
Cockers are no different than any other dog, you can train them or they can train you, it sounds like there are a bunch of well trained handlers on this list....
As a reminder the closing for the MAHSC Hunt Test to be held at Hillendale Hunt Club in Tyrone, PA is next Wednesday, August 15th. We still have a few...
Stephen, It sounds like you are going from fairly short retrieves in the yard or pool to very long retrieves in the field with the dummy launcher. Will she...
Rebecca, I have been told that cockers get bored with training drills more easily than Springers do and if asked to do the same thing over and over they will...

Harry I think you missed the fun in this------ The quote from the article was made by Tom Ness. The comment about turning your back on a cocker was made by...
Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner--been pursuing another passion, golf. You are correct about e-mail and my apologies if I reacted. I read the article,...
Linda, Thanks for your input. I have only had her for 3 weeks so I have been letting her adjust into her new surroundings. Which she is doing just fine. She...
Joe, Well said. I would love to own the dogs that trained Paul and Tom. If I trained my Cocker with the same amount of pressure I put on my Labradors, I do...
