I suppose the bigger birds might prick some latent 'retrieving' instinct in her, whereas the smaller ones don't.

He’s pretty good at ‘despatching’ his toys, but I’ve noticed he doesn’t shake them the way his mate Freddie (sproker spaniel) does, and the few times he’s had the chance to catch an already injured bird he’s given a good impression of total panic, dropped it and run away. Basically there’s a reason why he lives with me in Hampshire now instead of in Seville with a Spanish farmer: He’s defective.

SarahWoo Jun 2019 3:39pm, 6 Jun 2019 9,481 posts	0 SarahWoo LOL at BBL. I think they'd probably get on, actually. He likes girls more than boys. Unless it's a female chocolate lab puppy - those he just tolerates

SarahWoo Jun 2019 4:31pm, 6 Jun 2019 9,484 posts	0 SarahWoo Yes, D - it was funny how he managed to ignore such a large dog with so much personality
Mazlin Jun 2019 4:36pm, 6 Jun 2019 6,692 posts	0 Mazlin Rory doesn’t appear to ‘see’ horses or cows - it must be something similar!
