Joe the springers are great dogs i had one years ago when i was shooting ,i trained mine up with hand signals and whistle ,lol then some jealous **** robbed him it broke me heart .so you do teaching me wifes doing part time teaching she,s got the patience of a saint lol .

Im calming down for a bit with the training with the owl till he gets a bit older . so are the spars nice birds did you see that programme on the telly the other night about the peregrine falcon ?

alright boys,

my spars just 3 week old n she's coming on nice people say there hard but its only the weight control wen at flying weight thats difficult. imprintings a piece of **** take it everwhere with you and keep it fed up and only feed it the best of food simple.

as for hunting them they are without doubt the most exciting birds to fly, are you going to fly yours at maggies joe if so we'll get out for a couple of trips. wat you gonna fly yours at ian blackies and the sort?

were did you get yours from joe? email me if you want robspeakman15@hotmail.com as for advice if yuor gonna fly it at maggies make sure it gets fed plenty and you let it see them being cut up ect just so they no thats it is food with it not being natural for them to kill maggies in the wild.

all the best and keep us posted rob

if you mail us joe i'll send you some pics of my youngun
