The working gundog is a legend of the countryside, writes Felicity Tickridge-Marshall from BASC, and a vital member of the farming community in Yorkshire.
Although it is spaniel or Labrador which perhaps first comes to mind when you think of a gundog, any number of breeds bring their talents to the fore to excel in the field in their own way. Essentially, the word ‘gundog’ is a broad term used to describe any dog whose job is generally associated with game shooting. They differ in size, shape and temperament – varying from the highly charged to the very laid back.
This is not a new concept for some, however if it’s something that has never occurred to you, let me give you an example. When I was a teenager, my dad, who always had a number of dogs saw an advert from a rehoming centre in London for a number of springer spaniels in need of new homes. Having passed the charity’s checks of the time, dad made the journey to the centre, and brought home with him an 18-month-old liver and white spaniel called Jim.
