Hey y'all.
Just wondering if anyone has info on any trainers in or near new mexico for bird dogs?

Well its a good thing I just got that dvd in the mail. After that how do get them to get quai in such if they used to pigeons? Or is that a dumb question, I'm about as green as it gets...

what kind of birds is the best to do so? Wild? Pigeons? How to go about indroducing my pup to birds? Do I plant them and let her find them?

I would have to say new mexico. We have 4 different species of quail to hunt

I recently purchased george hickox pointing dog traing dvd. Is this a good dvd to purchase to help train my GSP at 11 months? Also what collar would y'all suggest to get for training?

She always has about 3 to 4 ribs showing. Maybe its just her age.

I have an 11 month old GSP that I got from charles rose. I have not trained her yet but also can't afford nor find a trainer close to my town in new mexico. So I was wondering is it to late to train her? I have taken her on one quail hunt and loved it. Just wondering what to do first.

I got a 11 month old GSP. And I'm feeding her nutro hi performance. About 5 to 6 cups a day and still her ribs show a bit and looks gangly. Is this normal for a GSP at this age. She is full of energy and appears healthy.
What do u all think?

Just wondering is the healthy amount to feed her and how many times a day

I hear slapping two 2X4's together while she's eating is a good start.


I know your trying to help and video really showed a good way. But that doesn't make any sense while she is eating. That would freak her out I would think.

Hi all,
Just wondering what would be the best way to introduce my Gsp puppy and when is she is old enough to do this?
Thanks

its funny!! People get really defensive including myself. At least there is alot of people with thick skin and don't get their boo boos hurt. I bet if I said that the GSP could outlast and out hunt any brittany hands down.....I wonder what that would do?? LOL It could be true though never know? :twi...

well put steven

Ooops! I think I hit a nerve or 2 or 3 with the Brit owners.

we are very out numbered so far! you would not think so with all the quail hunting we have here in the land of enchantment

It was a just a question is why i asked. Forgive me for creating a "stir" here, i'm new to gundogs and very highly interested. I think brittanys are awesome and good looking and i've watched them hunt on TV shows. They could keep up with any bird dog on two legs anyway....maybe....... lol

Just seeing how many fellow New Mexico people here?

True. What was i drinking? I've just read about puppy mills n such with the brittany. Sorry I hang out with the GSP gang. lol

WILEY COYOTE!!!!

I chose a White liver GSP. Reason being was I've always like the look of them. I think they are a gorgeous breed and they hunt like crazy like I do. I'm new to owning a GSP so this will be fun. I've hunted behind my dads labs before and a buddy's english pointer which got me curious in pointers. My ...

I heard that the hunting was bread out of the brittany breed for the majority. Here on this forum it does not seem true. Could someone explain?
just curious.

Would it be a good idea to attend training classes for manners like sit, stay, etc. to help bond with her since she is going to be inside with the family most of the time while she is a puppy?

What videos or Books would you recommend that would be the best tool to learn. I'm trying to get as much info as I can so I keep my screw ups minimal.

Also I got her from Charles Rose of wild rose GSP s.

I'm new at the forum and I have a brand new GSP puppy. Gorgeous and I would love to train her myself if thats possible but will give 100%. I'm just wondering where to start besides bonding with her. Manners first when she is ready or what? Thanks to all.

sorry
