The bobtail gene is already well in play with the Brittany blood. The wire male in the photo is a second gen with both. You breed long to short tail and half the litter should be bob tailed, so they could just as well be left long or docked if preferred. You can breed long to long but not short...

Much appreciated

Thank you kind sir

Thank you for your understanding response. I breed for myself, not for KC recognition. Any dog that by 18mth doesn't have my preferred strong working drive, style and instinct doesn't get bred from and is pet homed. A tall, heavy built English Springer size, 23in at shoulder, bobtailed(Brittany)...

No one ever said it was a breed! It's my strain of gundog, with my great original springer blood, bred solely for my style of shooting, in my local Fenland!

That's where they stopped mixing, spaniels with German pointers, same as the French pointing spaniel. The Fenlander, if you cared to read on, after the successful English springer/Weimaraner mix had English pointer blood which introduced a bit too much speed, then Brittany for the bobtail gene...

This is where a little bit of sense is put forward....a lab with another retrieving breed is likely to work well, a lab with a springer or a cocker not so likely to produce many usable dogs. I say usable, you need to work out what you are looking for and breed back several generations. 8...

All dogs are mongrels, just some are very inbred and we call them pure bred perhaps?

I believe Mantu is from the same litter, he is much the same. Great quartering working style in the sugar beet but too impatient to point for long, more conditioning needed. No problem with retrieving freshly shot game., live birds come back a live too. My youtube Edward Carlile several videos...

I take it your boy is a Fenlander. The original Korthols/Gwp I used was a late pointer, had to rein him in a lot, then took him beating a few times doing a lot of heel work in the beating line, that got him more focused and he started to indicate and point. Some of them mature late mentally, so...

I am from Norfolk UK, I do a lot of rough shooting and beating locally. Usually I use a shot gun mainly but stalk(if you can call it stalking) rabbits and the such with the air rifle. I noticed this thread whilst researching the Fenlander when it came up next to it. I am the breeder of the...
