My last lab passed away this past week three days before our opener on the dove field. Bummer for sure. I've had labs for right at 40 years now and have entertained the thought of trying out an English Cocker for the same tasks...ducks and the occasional dove hunt.
What are your experiences with English Cockers in that situation? I've been on many quail wagons with them, primarily used as either a flushing dog or a retriever.
I have seen a number of em down this way, but they never seem to be kenneled...always riding around with the guy or girl. I'm not in a position to have a dog "with me" every where I go and my labs have always been perfectly content to stay kenneled all day until I get home and then its off to romp around in the pasture or pond. Would this be an issue with an English?
Thanks for your comments in advance.
