id look into german longhaired pointers, great in the house, fantastic in the field, great at tracking fur, and awesome in the duck blind. the females run around 60 pounds so a little larger than what you are looking for. there are a couple breeders in WI, Frontrunners(where both my pups are from) a...

we had a finicky rescue dog a while ago, we started boiling dark chicken meat and putting that in the the kibble and some water. that has worked for us with every dog that is picky.

its your pup train it how you please. for me its two blasts for recall one for a turn with a hand signal for direction. quick tweet for sit. everyone is different my lab buddies have completely different whistle calls.

So to be a little more clear, and explain my thought a little better. shooting a bird with a full choke at 50 yards (in my mind) focuses the shot in a tighter pattern on the bird delivering more kinetic energy on the bird giving it more knock down power.furthermore in regards to clean kills, a full ...

hey y'all I've been shooting a lot of trap and skeet in the off season, hoping i can be a better shooter next season in the field. what chokes do y'all run in your guns? Im shooting my over under with full chokes. i feel like the full chokes with clays will give me the ability to make cleaner kills ...

we pay 1200 for our pups (german longhair pointers) friends of our pay close to 2k for their CBR's. you can get a nice dog for 500 if pedigree isn't an issue.

What are your off season goals and plans for training. we are getting a new pup so it will be training for her obedience and intro to birds, she will be 4 months when we get her. for bruno we will be progressing on steadiness and re enforcing retrieving work. any thoughts on things to add onto my tr...

if something is missing, i would bet an e collar was used at some point! sounds like a pup that needs to start from the beginning and make everything fun again.

We are adding another pup to our string, a female german longhair pointer. is there any suggestions on how to introduce her to our current dog? we are going to use perfect start/finish for our training needs. any suggestions on gear thats needed that people have found helpful with multiple dogs? I'v...

What kind of hunting do you plan on doing with it?

llewellinsetter

My brothers GSP has a similar issue, he bumps birds all day if its cold and snowy. all we can figure is that his nose is cold. the dog is a smaller GSP and can't go very long in the cold.

llewellinsetter

first off welcome to the forum. where are you and the pup located? if you are out west just get out and let the dog hunt and find birds, if its the dogs first season its going to bump birds and just be out having fun. also you may want to look online and see if you can buy a few quail, they are hard...

I'm not a Vet and this is just my opinion, but it is based on a lot of experience, I have talked to several Vets about this theory, and it's a bit like asking economists about the economic growth, some say yes, some say no and the others say we don't have enough data................. Reading these ...

Hey guys just a quick question, my dog is in very good shape and will hunt until i make him quit. my question is does anyone here use any sort of recovery supplement for your pup? or just go all natural. also does anyone give supplements during the hunt to help a dog keep hunting hard?

Oldbeek I would love to get out and hunt with you, I would love to learn techniques from someone with so much experience. I'll shoot you a private message also.

llewellinsetter

My longhair pointer will point, flush , and retrieve rabbits. The pointers will do what you want the training is just different.
My brother hunts rabbits with his GWP and he says he won't ever go back to a spaniel.

Just my two cents.

where are you located? pictures?

we got out on a preserve this weekend and had a really nice productive day, shot all the birds we had planted and had a few jack rabbits!

have you thought about a longhaired pointer? great family dog hunt hard do well in cold weather! has the style of a setter with the drive of a hard running GSP.

now i don't guide, but i do some longer hunting outings while we were in michigan, and the filson guide strap vest is one of my all time favorites. it tends to run a little warm but it fits really nicely and is super durable. it has a spot for a water bladder and can hold a lot of birds I've had ten...

So we have been running the dog out in the mountains in SoCal, the shale rocks tare his feet up a little bit so we got him some dog boots. does any one have a trick to keeping them on him?

this is a beautiful video, beautiful dogs! thats awesome.

llewellinsetter

You should be a little more specific with your question, I'm guessing you mean an e collar by the nature of your question. if you are thing of getting one i like dogtra a lot, i also like tri tronics also. you should get yourself a good e collar training video, and take your time and be patient.

Well I missed sending my pup south for winter training and have been training at home as well as obediance training. Still in the search for some spring time training to send my gsp off to.

Neil I ware a size 14.5. So clown shoes are close. I don't disagree with treating every gun like it's loaded, I grew up in a family of Marines, Air Force and policemen.

Looks like a good chance of plugging the barrel of the gun with mud and blowing it up and possibly you too the next time you shoot it. One of the first lessons taught is do not put the end of the barrel on the ground ever. Ezzy Ezzy that is a lesson I learned as a lad also, the barrel is resting (u...

Bluesky, im not worried about it but, I'm simply using the resource that this forum is I know i can achieve my goal with this pup. People on here have a ton of experience Im simply trying to use it to my advantage. And simply put my dog needs to be more than a pointer and retriever, though i do see ...

Well i was looking into the evan g series, because for breeding the longhairs you have to do some extensive testing to be approved to breed your dog, a major portion of it is blind retrieves and a lot of retrieving work. I do plan on picking one system and sticking to it. can i supplement with anoth...

llewellinsetter

thanks guys, checking out perfect start prefect finish, and also checking out the evan G videos.

llewellinsetter

the UP here in Michigan has great hunting, also the main mitten has some decent public land spots that hold birds. a lot of the farmers around my area have no problem with me going out on there property, and we have a ton of great preserves in this area.

thanks for the response bluesy,i already tried the search and did not find a clear enough response for the question i had you have any other suggestions? aulrich Thank you for a helpful response ill check these out for sure.

I pick up my new pup (german longhair) in august, my question is this. What will be the best dvd or dvds to help guide me? Not only to hunt upland but also fur and tracking.

Remington 1100, I have been shooting my grandpas for my entire life, its a 1970s gun and it shoots just as straight as my mossberg does. The trigger safety isn't that big of a deal IMO. also you can find real nice used ones for well under a 1000 dollars. just my two cents.
