14 x 12 brood box size

Welcome to the forum Springer.....nice picture,do you work your spaniel.
I make the frame top bars 9mm not 10mm at the ends,and the timber thickness 19mm not 18mm....but i know these drawing do vary slightly,re invent the wheel.

as i have said before, i can never find 19mm timber in the DIY shops, so i use 18mm and adjust


Hive maker has told me it is available but the only time i find it is old 3/4" floor boards on skips

Sorry don't mean to barge the thread, but I am just getting used to the way the forum uploading works.
In answer to question, yes I have a pair and they have done some! but not working this year.

Now they are a fine pair of dogs you have there - nice birds too - where are you in Leicestershire? - do you still pick up with them?

nice dog(s)

the missus is thinking of getting one - how are springers around live non quarry avians (ie poultry).

They will retrieve them no problem,may have to drag it, if a turkey or bird of similar size.

(Depends on how well they are trained really)

My two are lovely dogs, wouldn't hurt a fly. However, one of them would certainly eat a hen (we have some ex-batts), while the other happily walks through them completely oblivious.

Try http://springthing.3.forumer.com/. A very useful site if you are thinking of getting (or have) springers.

That says it all.

the only thing my two whippets hunt are beds ,duvets and kibbles, they dont get the chance to often for cats and rabbits which is a shame realy as the bigger one would be great if i trained him up
