Except for the competition from the other hunters it sounds like you and the nephew had a great day Buck. So how old is Mazzie now? I s she slowing down at all?

Actual my brother has a friend that hunts pheasants with his hawk and his GSP. Have watched It being done. He releases the Hawk. The hawk takes a perch in a tree. GSP points the pheasant you go in and flush the bird. In the air the pheasant doesn't have a chance. Not even sure it knows what hits...

OandN, Don't count out NAVHDA because you decide on a pointer or setter. EP's and ES's are both breeds that are NAVHDA eligible. Check out NAVHDA Test Booklets on the website for "DOG REPORT". You'll find Pointers and Setters that do water work just fine. The retrieving and water work is so...

There is one possible negative you need to understand if you are doing this a lot. You might accidently install in the dog a time limit as to how long it should look for the bird. If he is finding the bird in just a few minutes every time during training, he may get the idea that he should be...

Took the pooch out for a quick run yesterday about 9:00 at a wildlife management area close to the cities. After about 15 minutes she was on point. Walked in and kicked up a hen with and 6 chicks. Released the dog and she ran around and after a couple minutes she pointed 2 more chicks I kicked...

Thanks Gatzby. Just trying to share what has been shared with me. Hope it helps, but as we all know not all dogs respond to the same techniques. It is best to have a specific plan to follow though in IMO. Can't be afraid to take small steps or to take a step back if need be. Most my training...

I agree with Gatzby that you need to go back and work on the here or come command to begin with. You say your dog comes on command in the house, but not in the yard. How much training have you done on the come command in the yard? The Navhda Chapter here teaches "the rule of 5" when teaching...

Have never used a furminator. Mars Coat King works good to take the dead fur out of my Pudelpointer and on most the wire haired breeds.I learned about them from a friend with Griff's. I bought one for my daughter that has a Newfoundland and she likes it, so I would think it would work fine on...

GB, if your in the Twin Cities you can try Sportsman Guides Outlet in So. St. Paul. You can see there selection on their website but if you drive over you can pick them up in person.

Buck, Chase those ones close to Minnie up into Lincoln County for me by the 13th will ya!!!!!:)

Must be those 3 days Flirt spent with Kasota that got her the prize I. HA HA HA:) Nice looking pups in the pickup. Must be about 4-5 weeks now?

But the brood size could increase due to healthier hens from the easy winter and warm spring. Correct?:)

Nice looking Pup. I kind of stay away from names like Joe and Bo and Moefor a call name if its a pointing dog. To much possibility of confusion with whoa and no. Thats just me though.

See the Spinones occasionally at Navhda tests. Seem to be well mannered dogs. If you want to find a breeder check the navhda test booklets on their website(navhda.org) for the last couple years, they give dog scores and breeder kennel name is listed in the dogs name. see what kennels had the...
