They where true workers, at least 3-4 times a week i gather, they covered beating line, picking up line and rough shooting.
I do sometimes agree with everyone that it is better to dock for workers, but only in the case if they are to work full time, i didnt feel it nesercary (sp) for my springer as she was never really intended to work, I just feel that many breeders are using this excuse in order to get the pups docked, whn this thread has shown that man people prefere their pets to have a tal, (im talking about pets now) if the dog is definatly intended for full time work in the field ten yes, i agree docking is more humane and practical, but i feel not always nesercary (sp)
