If you want me, just whistle



The Acme 210 1/2 Spaniel whistle.


 (Listen to the Acme 210 1/2 Spaniel whistle)



The Acme 210 1/2 is the standard whistle for spaniels in the field.  It is pealess and offers a peep that is less offensive than the typical gym whistle.  Using a whistle rather than your voice can help keep the birds from realizing that the game is afoot.  Over time, bird dog handlers have developed a language using the whistle. 

Stop, sit, stay...........................1 long pip.
Turn direction on quartering..........2 short pips.
Come in..................................4 short pips.
