Re: backing/honoring

From reading the post it sounds like your dog knows what it is supposed to be doing. She has demonstrated that multiple times. It is a battle of wills for you. Don't let her win. Make it uncomfortable to run by a back.

Re: Breeding Shooting Dogs

IMO: A big running dog doesn't really matter if they dont handle whether it be AAXAA or any venue x venue for that matter. So how the parents handle is would be high on my list along with nose. You have to have those to key components before range does any good.

Scent bird for launcher work

I think you're on the right track with the launcher idea. Just be sure to use a scent bird seperate from the launcher. Plant your scent bird (lock wing pigeon) at least 10 yards from the launcher (loaded with a flyer), and bring your dog perpendicular to the scent bird. Don't let her smell the bird...
