Being easily distracted is just a shorthair being a shorthair, don't worry about that too much. It sounds like you are on the right track as far as bonding and spending time together. Once you have the connection, the dogs sole purpose in life will be to please you and take an interest in what you a...

After I brought her home at 10 weeks she started eating 4Health performance. I fed her that until she was roughly a year old then switched to Momentum. Her coat remains pristine through all seasons.

Have a few that she rotates through. During the summer/training she is normally in a Day-Glo lime green 1" O ring with a reflective strip. During the hunting season she wears a blaze 1" O ring by Remington.

so sorry to hear about yall's situation ruth. To me it sounds like your best bet is to find a co-owner, or just someone who is looking for an extra hunting buddy for a year but has the extra room in the kennel. My guess is with the network of trainers/enthusiast here you should be able to find that ...

what does everyone here have against canada? are you people being serious? My aunt and uncle dont even lock their door and they live in a somewhat urban area. They say they don't know anyone who does. They are some of the safest/easy going people i know. I wish i lived somewhere i could feel that sa...

must not understand citizenship then...

This happens to any of mine i guess i'm going to jail for savagely beating a human with a hammer.

GWP would be hard to beat. they r great retievers. I will say though, with a vest and a dry/warm spot to rest in between retrieves, u would be urprised what a duck crazed gsp can do.

From what i have seen and heard from my local distributor is that the new sportdog still isn't very good. The "gps" features aren't really even that. nothing compared to the astro at least. He said the sportdog just shows you where you are in relationship to your dog, no topo or real gps or anything...

IMO that doesn't show off my favorite sport by any means. I would prefer it just not get outside attention at all rather than have it portrayed like that.

My roommate is gettin a walker pup at the end of the summer. awesome dogs. For now we hunt with sissy and dean his redbones. which are also cool dogs. Geat pics! Love runnin me some coons n' bears!
This inspires me to maybe spend 3 hours trying tp upload 8 pictures again sometime this week

If you don't think the same thing happens with horses... Three Bars, King Leo...[/quote] Well then that is just as much of a shame! I would still contend though that it is less frequent than dogs. But that isnt what the thread/ what my original intentions were with posting here. Line belongs to the ...

I'm well aware. I'm saying because of this though, you dont have the problem of some average joe buying a young'n and trying to continue the line.(not saying it cant but considering horse prices and how infrequently they reproduce.) wheras you could have 8 potential studs from a litter of pup. Obvio...

HORSES ARENT DOGS! what is the largest litter size you have ever seen in horses?....not comparable at all if you ask me. There is going to be a plethora of variation in EVERY dog litter bred. Where a horse will give birth to one potential champion at a time.

So mouch more goes into selecting breeding partners other than having 2 "good" dogs from the same breeder. A breeder's lines are theirs and theirs alone. Only they can make the decisions on what kind of temperments, conformation and overall "value" of a dog(in reference to their goal in breeding the...

Thanks everyone! The more time I spend with her the more I'm loving my little girl. I don't plan on using the e-collar until the end of summer or maybe even after she fets her formal puppy training at walnut hills. I think I am going to go with the pro 100. Luckily i have a dog hunting wholesaler wi...

BEAUTIFUL PUP !!:D sure do love puppy season!

Great looking pup. pretty looking older dog too. Just picked up my first GSP last thursday

never once hunted over a redtick that was worth squat. they could be out there though.

Sounds like a good ole time. Hope yall have a fun and safe trip!

I just got a GSP and I liker her pretty good or a lab. Both should be trainable. seen great briits...

More pics from happy time last night...

on first glance there sure did seem to be a lot of running with guns(cant speak to if they are loaded in every shot.) which to the best of my knowledge isn't propper gun safety

Sorry Ron R, but for the kindof hunting I do, a dog that hunts 600 yards away from me is about as useful as screen doors on a submarine 8) BIG NEWS!! while we were on our evening 30 minute "happy timing" around the property last night, GIRL POINTED AND FLUSHED HER FIRST WILD RUFFED GROUSE. luckily I...

Thanks everyone! I think she's pretty darn cute too 8) Thanks for the help about the collar, is the pro 100 also a good collar to use during hunting too? I believe it has 6 levels of momentary and 18 continuous. I think the pro 200 has 18 momentary and 6 continuous. if that is the case, for training...

Thanks for the comments everyone, OUBobcat-i'm always looking for people to hunt with! i'll shoot you a PM a little later, i actually lived in haywood county last semester. Does anyone have any suggestions about an e-collar? I am pretty sure i am going to go with tri-tronics. thinking about the fiel...

What a pretty girl! great videos, I love watching them. She seem to really be coming along quite well for 5 months!

Hey guys, i have been a hunter for most of my life and just picked up my first gundog on thursday. She is a liver GSP. I tried to do my homework before deciding on the litter wanted. She is currently 10 weeks and is an absolute DREAM!(and the best couch cuddler.) We are mainly going to hunt grouse i...

I was under the impression that the ackwright was added to the german standard for an eye color variation. which never worked and is now why there are black gsp's in DK's. idk though. i am probably wrong. anyone know?

GWP or GSP all the way. If concerned about cold might want to lean towards a wirehaired
I'm partial to GSP's myself though. Should be easy to find good lines that will naturally point as well as retrieve to hand. Even seen some pretty respectable duck dogs made out of them...
