RE: Opinions on Spaniels
I've hunted over Cocker Spainels, Brittany Spaniels, Springer Spaniels and German Shorthair dogs, all of which have some great qualities. I read somewhere in the responses that spainels are just flushers, but that is incorrect. As one of the other replys said, it's in the linage and training. I have a cocker spainel now that would rival any GSP as far as a point. Unfortunately, the cocker spainiel does not have the body size and/or strength for heavy or longer hunts. (Good for fence lines, draws, water ways, etc...) As far as the Brittany or Springer, both can be good pointers, although again it's in the training. As far as size and attitude, a Brittany or Springer would be a good fit...
