At Derry Quay Lodge we have a tradition of hunting with springer spaniels and these are the dogs we use today.

We have 8 springer spaniels at the lodge which is important because we do not hunt every day with the same dogs so they all have a chance to rest.

The springer is a breed almost custom-made to work in thick woods because they are naturally close- working dogs, normally ranging no more than 30 meters from the beaters and often much closer in the thick stuff.

Our Springers get the job done with style, speed, aggression, power and determination and will not be found wanting.

Here are the names of the dogs at
