So was it you , Kev , or Max that kept Jack in order ? .

Congratulations on your successful trip .

😃

tbh I didn't have to raise my voice at Jack really, he tried chewing my sleeping bag but I caught him straight away so no damage.  Max though now wants to play ball from dawn until dusk which is no big deal coz the swims are well spaced and it's quiet so not annoying anyone but he doesn't quite bring the ball all the way back then barks at me hurry up - such an annoying little bleeeeep.  Male cockers, who'd have one/two? 🤦‍♂️ 😂

I think I'd leave the tennis balls at home if I went somewhere busy - or just take Jack lol

Just saying hello.

I'm a big fan of breed specific activities took fredders along a abandoned rail line let him have at a few old rabbit holes nothing in them full of wind blown leaves plus he wouldn't fit down he just likes to widen th entrance and a general tidy up some wildlife numpty will think badgers have moved in lol.

It’s going to be my first time taking my dog fishing this year. Anyone got any tricks of the trade or any tips for me I can learn before having to learn it myself ? I plan on bringing a big screw peg to chain him up to because he is up for wandering about. Bring his meals already portioned up biscuit and meat all ready to put in his bowel. I already carry excess water where I can. Have a dedicated bag for his bits and pieces, poo bags bedding extra few towels bowels. I have bought him a waterproof coat. Anything else I’m forgetting ?

I'm 1 for taking him on every session...

This was his 1st session with me...

Then just grew from there...

I take all of the above mentioned, his chilled as anything when we're out, just loves being on the bed, being stroked, doesn't bark at anything. 

As long as he's chilled and bot bothering anyone, I think he will be fine, while the rods are out and weather is OK, I play with him, pulls on a rope or chew a branch.

Can’t wait to take this big softy out on a night trip. I have had him with me on an evening session before and after letting him roam wild for a bit he did eventually come lay down near me and relax. He actually chose to lay down on a fallen over barbed wire fence not the unused unhooking mat I had laid out for him 🤣 but I couldn’t complain he was sleeping and I was relaxing with rods out and all was well.

Seems like you've got everything covered, maybe a comb/brush coz they get sticky seed heads stuck to them.

 

Good luck - hope it goes well. 👍

Jacks first solo trip - he was brilliant, no travel sickness, no being naughty, was chilled and seemed to enjoy it lots.  Many happy trips to come 🥰😎👍

What a beautiful dog , Kev. .

I particularly like the way he is reading the water , looking for signs of fish , I'd better take a leaf out of Jack's book .

I wonder if he will keep the two shades of fur as he grows up , probably not ? .

😃

Thanks mate - I'm made up with him.

Not sure what will happen to his colouring, the stripe down his back is proper hair, the sides, underside and legs are like puppy fluff which I guess will change?

Whatever happens I think he will be a stunner, and a great carpy campanion!

I'm thinking about taking Betty with me this week for a day trip, she is mental but loves being with me so I am hoping that is all it takes 😂, she will have to stay tied up a bit though because she has a strong prey drive and doesn't always come back lol she is like my  shadow unless she gets a taste of freedom  IMG-20221209-WA0002.thumb.jpg.399e8fb18197a00d3e4d978ce4ded1d4.jpg

Looks like Jack has had a wash and blow dry specially for the occasion .

😁

Well he is a fancy show cocker don't you know 🤣 he is due a trim Thursday - I get him done every 6-8 weeks.  I did George myself twice a year, whereas Jack doesn't even like me brushing him.

As a side, Handsome dogs? What's that all about, I get random woman stop my dog to give him a fuss and tell him how Handsome he is, not just a one off happens regularly, I get ignored, literally.

It's just odd and if a fella did it I would say something.

I had an old guy and a woman ask me all about jack and whereabouts the breeder lives just an hour apart the other Sunday.  Neither seemed interested in me lol 🤷‍♂️

So what are you saying fellas ? ; it reads like you both want to be made a fuss of 😁 .

I'm a Postie , and usually what happens is a passing dog may strain at its lead to come over to me , and have a good sniff of my trainers . Then I'll give the dog a stroke after letting it sniff my hand .

I just love meeting handsome dogs , who are much prettier than their owners 🐶.

From this ‘photo ( you’ve shown us other views ) , Kev. , it looks like a lovely natural lake .

My local club lake has had most of the banks “ tidied up “ from the ‘photos posted on Facebook ; I haven’t had the opportunity to fish there this year , but when I do I may well vote with my feet , and not renew my membership .

I’m not happy ! .

😡

Yes I do really like the natural banks and swims it is a stunning complex, however access road is very bad and parking areas and paths also totally natural which isnt good at all in the wet.  Hard to get the balance right I guess.

I hope your lake doesnt look too managed for you, remember it grows back pretty damn quick.

I do take a lot more pictures of the lake whilst at this complex so I obviously prefer the natural look over man made swims.

Our 2nd trip to Italy we found the owner had ripped out all the far bank snags we expected to fish to, looked shocking, ruined the trip and ruined the bay area since, so I know how you must be feeling. 👎
