Hunting Dogs

[Flatcoatluver]

I know Cockers were bred for flushing out the woodcock, but I don't know what flushing out means. Anyone know?

my dad told me it just means scaring the birds so they fly, so people can shoot them.

Oh ok, thanks! That sounds right.

Cool pictures. I especially love the picture of Ginger running towards the camera, mouth open with a smile and her ears flying in the wind.

Tons of hunting dogs where I live. Great looking dogs and very obedient. Thanks for the info.

Yeah Elizabeth,

I like that shot too!!! Ironically, I have a lot of shots of her like that. When she gets running, hers ears just seem to be like propellors. LOL!!!

P.S. My daughter's name is Elizabeth Anne!!!

Tito is a Podenco mix, which are used to hunting rabbits, he is DEFO a sight hound!

I didn't think I had ever heard of a Podenco. But I checked a breed info site and sure enough, there it was. I guess they call it a Ibizan Hound at the AKC but also list as other names, the Podenco Ibicenco or Ca Eivessenc. It is an interesting looking dog - almost looks a little like a Whippet. I can definitely see it in your dog Tito. Thanks for your response!!!
