    Place Boards, gundog people?

    Just thinking about 'stuff' for the pup arriving in March. I've never used a place board, but I have always used a doormat/carpet sample square as a target in the early stages of training. Those who use a place board, what are the advantages over a target mat?, I've read that the height...

    Meet my puppy

    His pups are all known as Toastcrumbs. I'd love to call the pup Crumble but Toast's dad is Crumble (although I don't know him so could work). A friend also has a rescue spaniel called Crumble (known as Crumb) but we'd never be together with the dogs as his spanna hates other dogs.
