I wish I knew more about Springer pedigrees to say wether or not I’ve hunted over dogs with the same background, but I will say field bred springers rock. If anyone wants a serious pheasant machine, I’d argue you can’t beat a well bred springer. Since I already have 4 Brits, and my wife wants a lab, a Springer isn’t in my future unfortunately. But for guys who want a nice upland dog, this is a great opportunity.
