i have a springer/cocker cross dog. got him about two years old he's now four. he was difficult to train initially but have him hunting game although he has tendency to chase pheasant, but will respond when called. has a good nose, is eager to work, brilliant temperament. he will work with dummies all day, retrieve, find, carry. have covered dummies in rabbit and one in pheasant and he will find, fetch and carry these. he will not pick up dead game, not fresh dead, or day old dead, have attached rabbit to rabbit dummy but no good.would like to persevere with him, but have lost a few pheasants that he would not pick up. i only do some rough shooting, any sugestions greatly appreciated. am not sure of his lineage ?
