To the OP, tell ya what. Dont believe a dam thing you hear mostly on here. Bickering back and fourth about rover being better then lassie, one is a close worker garbage. If you are serious, skip past all this jabber and go to see some good dogs work. If you were near me I could show you several springers in action this hunting season. Won't have pups because we are booked till 2015, but I know plenty of good dogs out there. If your near Dakota Zeb, he would most likely be happy to show you his Brit. Otherwise we can direct you to folks we know all over to go put your hands on the car so to speak
