As was said by a poster above: Never give that puppy a command that you are not in a position to enforce. If you command the dog to "come", have the check cord in hand. Give him a few tugs if he doesn't comply right away. If he still refuses, DO NOT repeat the command. Reel him in and praise, "Good ...

Shortfat, thank you for replying. I do everything that you say EXACTLY. He has his spot outside where he likes to go. I consistently praise him after he goes ("good pee pee!"). Perhaps I'm being unrealistic in my expectations, but I thought surely four weeks would be sufficient time. Sharon, thanks ...

Thanks guys. Firemedic, he is crate trained and I am always sure to take him outside immediately after letting him out of the crate. He is very good about peeing a soon as he is let outside. I just wish that he would get the clue that it isn't ok to piss in the house and to stand by the door when he...

I have an 11 week old GSP male that I am house breaking. I have caught him squatting and peeing enough times that he knows it is bad and that it doesn't please me. He has since gotten wise and now pees standing up. I'm having a heck of a time catching this rascal when he does this and since I cannot...

We buy flight conditioned northern bobwhite quail at $4 per.

Browning makes the BPS "Upland" model with a straight English stock.

Below is a link to a Gunbroker auction for one in 16ga. going for $408 - reserve price not met yet. Plenty more on that auction site.

There really are some incredible photos in this thread. Elkhunter and DGFavor, I especially enjoyed your contributions above. Here's me taking my new boy out to chase a few quail. I put him in the truck before the shooting started. He chased down some birds and didn't show any fear or apprehension a...

I love a happy ending... Sounds like things worked out and you found exactly what you were looking for. Congratulations. Now, let's see some pictures!

You're killin' me, Barry. Wish we had pheasants that close to us down here.

Thanks again for everything. It was a great hanging out at the house with the pups and meeting Luci and your family.

You made an excellent choice in going with a Friedelsheim dog, and looks like you picked a looker. Thank you, Coop. It wasn't as hard as I imagined it would be thanks in part to my pup. I picked a few that I liked the looks of first, then spent time with each one individually and in our one on one ...

Finally, after losing my 10 year old GSP in July, my life and household are complete once again. Thank you to all that counseled me through PM's on what lines to look at and reputable breeders. I couldn't be happier. I present to you Friedelsheim's Uptown Down South "Zeke"... First, a video of him r...

I picked up my new baby boy from Friedelsheim's GSPs this past weekend. Here is a photo of my pup propped up on one of his brothers. I'm extremely excited about him.

An appendage to the post above... I have to disclose that I did have one FTF experience with my Vinci. I have a tendency to press check my firearms. I suppose it comes all my range time behind AR's and handguns. I press checked my Vinci on a very wet sub-30 degree hunt. I let the bolt go forward ass...

I really dig my Vinci. It's been subjected to everything from extreme cold weather and snow to being 100% submerged in a backwoods Georgia marsh and always performs. Someone noted about that the safety location is in a bit of a non-traditional spot. No doubt it takes getting used to. Here are a few ...

nj gsp, I'm sorry to hear of your wife's illness. You both will be in my prayers.

I think this is a beautiful ES. Someone should really pick him up.

Good post, DN.

ACooper is correct. They do make the American series that is cheaper than the standard M2 and SBE. What you do not get with the American series is the (arguably)recoil reducing ComforTech stock and, if memory serves, a hard case and full set of choke tubes. However, the American series does come wit...

I'm sorry for your loss, KBD. Tiffy sounds like she was a spectacular dog.

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your puppy and the circumstances surrounding it. As Meller pointed out above - sometimes things just happen and you should not blame yourself. I believe that God welcomes all of our companions into to Heaven and take comfort that they are not gone forever. If you fee...

Nevermind Ron. I misunderstood your post.

Ron R wrote:Jordan, I seen you sent a pm regarding a Gsp pup for sale. It looks like a nice pup to me. Good luck and I hope it works out.

Thank you, Ron. I checked my PM's and nothing has come through yet.

With all due respect, If you can not spend $500 (only $140 more than $360)or more, then maybe the time is not right. The thing is stuff happens, Vet bills, food, gear etc. I don't mean to be how it sounds just a thought that came to mind. Ruffshooter, I understand your statement and do not take off...

Thanks, Ultra. I may have edited my post as you were typing yours. I added their gundogbreeders.com website which has their pedigrees listed. I am interested in one of Hank and June's (possibly Hank and Tilly's) pups. We'll see when they get here. What breed are you looking for and I bet we can find...

Hey guys. I'm entertaining the idea of picking up a GSP pup from Spin Top Kennel http://www.spintopkennel.com/ in Athens, Alabama. I've read through countless positive testimonials on their gundogbreeders.com page however, most of the posts are from people who bought house dogs. The posts made by hu...

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers out to you.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss brother. Molly was certainly a beautiful girl. Her liver pattern on her face reminds me a lot of my Mason who I recently lost. Like you, I took the loss pretty hard. A few things that helped me get through the grieving process were: Memorializing her - I didn't go o...

Well, I messed around and someone beat me to him. The search continues...

Sound advise, Mike. Thank you.

Thank you for the replies. CKC? That's not a common registry for that breed. Casey, this is what the owners ad said. It could very well be a typo. I will be contacting the breeder for more information. As for the last few replies, I have a good friend not far away(he hunts English Pointers) who rais...

Hello all. I would like first give you all a little background on me and my previous dog and my training experience. My best friend of 10 years, Mason, passed away last Monday. She was not a hunter, bless her heart. I got her when I was 21. I tried the best I could to get started, but just didn't ha...

Hello, all. My name is Jordan and I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. I am, as of recent, dogless. I lost my GSP and best friend of 10 years one week ago yesterday. I plan of finding another GSP to love just as soon as my wife and I are ready. I joined the boards because I am 100% committed to bringing up my...
