Hello

[spudlet]

Just been to my first session with the local lowland search and rescue team, and am hoping to start training my dog up soon. He's a rescued cocker called Henry:

Thats great! Welcome to the forum. Which is your local team?

[spudlet]

I'm in Norfolk. We'll have to see how Henry makes out, he is also a trainee gundog (I like to keep him busy ) but I (and my trainer) reckon he's clever enough to distinguish between the two jobs so long as there are clear signals for him - for ex, through using a harness or similar for search and rescue work, and a slip lead and no collar for gundog work, and the differences in my clothing, commands etc.

Only your 3rd post!! How do you know if I have Collies or Spangles

[spudlet]

Fair point, still, start as you mean to go on and all that

Ahh so you must have the pleasure of Deborah!

Excellent. As i said before welcome and i am sure the cross training will be no problem.
