I gave you my opinion on how a dog should act in the field. I never mentioned the standard of your dogs in the least, I was simply replying to the comment you posted!. It really doesnt affect me how your dogs are really.

Gundog training is about steadyness under extreme conditions for the dog - your not going to get this simply by throwing dummies around, they could go through the exercises yes but this wouldnt mean they are a gundog, just a well trained pet. Ive approached gundog trainers that have said if you dont work them they will not train you but for the most part, trainers will accept dogs into classes to get them socialised/obedient if that what the owner wants.
