HPR dogs.

Currently on a walking holiday in the Lakes with my two and the three boys, ticking off Wainwrights. This picture was photobombed by the dog. Not a nice composition (or flattering angle 😳) but it really does illustrate the physique of these breeds. Lay people often mistake fitness for thinness in dogs. You have to remember that these are long distance athletes, they should not be chubby!

Weight looks spot on to me!
 
What are they like through rough cover?
They will smash through rough cover if they know what there is game in there. Whereas a good spaniel or wirehair will smash through rough cover in the hope to find game.

At the end of a shoot day they are cut to shreds, the blue spray and staple gun comes out of my kit bag.
