Take the pup in with a ewe with a lamb at foot. Keep it on a lead but the ewe will be damned sure to tell it if it takes a step towards them. Best time of year for this too as lambs are gambolling and very enticing to a puppy.
For information -
Spaniels of any sort hunt undergrowth within gunrange or less (or should do) - 50 yards. They are hunting for fur and feather.
Retrievers hunt for downed game
Pointers hunt outwith gun range becasue they go on point and hold game when found then handler flushes game and it is shot. They hunt for any type of game
HPRs - Hunter Pointer retrievers do all three, because they've got brains
- Brittanys in particular are nerve breakers - they have been known to hunt 300 yards each side of the handler.
