Jamjack Midnight Rackatear at Verstone

Black Cocker Spaniel Dog: Jack ....  

 

     

Jack was very, very fast, he had an excellent nose and incredible working drive - totally fearless in any form of cover. Although he did not come to us until he was 8mths old (as a mad little Cocker), his training progressed well as a young dog - the 2015/2016 Shooting Season at nearly 12yrs old was the last one before retirement beckoned - he was still a natural, enthusiastic hunter/retriever under any conditions right to the end, when we lost him to cancer - he will be very missed.
