    Pups first hunts, check cord or no?

    This is my first year training my own bird dog (EP, Elhew blood) and we have been working in the field a few times a week. He knows how to find birds, and point them while on the cord. Most of the time, it takes no pressure from me to get him to lock up. When we hit the fields come october...

    My first bird dog

    We have been doing a ton of off leash obedience and his recall is fantastic from any distance. I can already take him in the fields off leash and just let him do his thing. He works the cover so naturally already its surprising. He is very rambunctious in the house but at the same time he is...

    My first bird dog

    I have been researching dogs for over a year now and finally decided that despite the demanding requirements, an english pointer was for me. I picked up my 5 month old elhew bred pup on saturday. Just getting to know each other and work on basics right now but he will point a pigeon and hold...

    Anyone have any upcoming litters??

    Im looking for my first actual bird dog. I have been hunting pheasants with a 15" beagle (who does great actually) but he has his limitations. Especially in the wide open fields where he just cant cover enough ground. I would like to purchase within the state if possible. Mainly looking for a...

    Shot my first birds from my own dog.

    HAHA thats a good one. I think he would sink honestly. But youre right, I got a beagle not really expecting him to be as good on birds as he is. Its all about growing his interest in it. Now, if he even smells the scent stick in the house he goes CRAZY. With that said, he does have his...

    Shot my first birds from my own dog.

    I would love to teach him to retrieve, and I am slowly working on it. But if it never happens, im ok with that too.

    Not good Friday

    I have a dual reg. champion bloodline American Pitbull Terrier that got lyme 3 years ago. Same signs, except she also had alergy like symptoms. Hair loss within the week before, dry cracking nose, etc. Im sure the vets gave you a 30 day cycle of antibiotics. Trust me, your dog will get better...

    Shot my first birds from my own dog.

    Thanks, it really is a joy to experience. I havent enjoyed hunting small game this much since I was a 12 year old child. He does have some issues that were working on, but that is the fun part in my opinion. I work with him every single night and he gets better and better by the day. His biggest...

    Shot my first birds from my own dog.

    He did put up the woodcock, chased it through pricker bushes until it jumped. He didnt sniff it out, but seen it run and sight chased it. Im ok with that as long as it doesnt get out of hand chasing every bird around. Training was simple honestly. I worked him on a 35 yard rope to force him to...

    There are some areas that are cock birds only. But on most gamelands with stocked birds you can shoot either.

    Shot my first birds from my own dog.

    He doesnt retrieve, and honestly I dont know if he ever will. BUT, he does locate the bird and sits there all excited until you pick it up. He knows whats coming, lots of dog love for a job well done. He also stopped a cripple and didnt let him get away. I look at it this way, he is not a...
