It's like hounds; if you want to go hare-coursing you have to get hare-coursing dogs. You don't buy a golden retriever and train it to run fast!
A feller, who know’s these things, once told me that a retriever comes to you half trained, whereas a Springer leaves you half trained.
Having owned a welshie for nine years, I can honestly say that was sage advice .
