Thanks for the link. I think I'm leaning a little more to this now. Very good reviews, every where I look. Thanks again!

I'm looking to purchase an aluminum dog box for the back of the truck. I currently just use the plastic crate that is secured with tie downs but want to make him as safe as possible during transportation. Searching the internet has given me an idea of the different boxes but I was hoping to...

OK, pretty much what I've been doing. Thanks and take care.

Feeding question? For those feeding only at night, is that only during days spent hunting or training? or is that their feed time 24/7? I may switch over to that method. Thanks,

For those that have stated they let the dog ride in the cab with them, do you have some type of a restraint system for the dog? I don't, so my dog rides in an aluminum box in the back of the truck. I feel gives him the best chance for survival, if an accident were to occur. I've seen some...

Might want to give a look at Duluth Trading Co. brush pants. They basically dare you to wear them out. If you do, new pair on them. I've got a pair of their standard fire hose pants and they are holding up and they are easy to move around in...

Thanks, I'm pretty proud of the little guy and on the retrieving side of things he has done extremely well to date. Hopefully he can be a pretty good dual duty dog.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm thinking about purchasing some Readhead upland boots and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these. Additionally, if these are not worth the $100 tag on them, for another $74 I will consider the Muck upland boots but again I know nothing about them. Thanks for any assistance...

I can definitely see the upside to driving, walking, hoping rather than sitting, waiting, freezing:eek:, hoping! The other thing I liked was I could grab the dog, shells, and shotgun and I'm ready to go. Not like lugging 4 dozen full body decoys 350 yards into a field, needing to make 5 trips...

I've been hunting the better part of my 35 years with the last 8-10 focused on ducks and geese. Well, after completing force fetch with my young lab last year, a buddy of mine convinced me to take the pup to a pheasant preserve for a fun day of birds. That one trip eventually turned into 6 and...
