Nice video's, the only thing i would say is you need to work on your pup moving on point unless he is young and unsure of himself then that would be somewhat normal i think, he seems to have a good nose . I would love to hunt mearns someday, i think the area you were in is absolutely beautiful and i...

I think it is easy to blame the engineers and while i agree there are times when it is just bad engineering i do believe that trying to fit more in a smaller package has a good bit of influence on the subject. It is not just in cars either i have had to take ball nut's off of ball screws to install ...

Munster just remember opinions are like assholes everyone has one and they all stink

. If it is not a pointer your friend gotpointers will never have anything good to say but the negative's of the subject breed and their owners will be posted for all to see(because they are all the same).

What breeding did you decide on ?

I could see how a roan colored britt could go unnoticed i had a female that was mostly liver with ticking and i passed her up a few times in some ditch banks.

My dog is out of Nevene Kennels and has a lot of the dogs mentioned above. I asked for similar advice over 5 years ago and got great responses about some of the same lines---seems to me that great dogs (or lines) are still being mixed in by top breeders. I don't know if Gene Salmons is still breedi...

jimbo&rooster is right we do this for the joy of watching dog's work not just shooting birds, so just handle your dog and tease your dad when he misses a shot

Ive been away all summer busy at the cabin and around the house. I hope everyone had a great summer. Ive got my pigeons flying around the house and the dog loving them.

good looking pup!

It looks like you need to break the routine , he knows where the birds are and is anticipating the find if that makes any sense and as far as his relocating or re positioning on the bird i agree with everyone else that you should be better with your timing with the launcher. I believe if you got him...

What kind of dog do you like to look at thats what i would go with and then find the right breeding, but better yet go watch some hunt tests,nstra trials or field trials and see what you like to watch work. Take your time on picking out a pup, also think about how far you plan to take the pups train...

i have hunted both like most people on here but with wild birds you have to earn them and there is no guarantee that you will see anything or maybe you will only see what you can not shoot.Nothing in life should be easy or free and everything should be earned including birds in the bag.

That is what i thought someone with all the answers but nothing to really say except smart "bleep" comments and no real answer.

:D Sometimes you have to wonder the depth/breadth of some individuals experience with pointing dogs. Then tell me oh great sage how is your knowledge of pointing dogs have any affect on the flight response of a prey animal ?

For someone to say they have never had any runners when hunting wild pheasant's i have to call bs, no matter how hard running a dog is or what distance they point from an old wild rooster will try to escape. They will flush wild, run out from under a dog's point if it does not move with the bird,get...

There's a reason for that.. thats all I'm going to say.

Where you live i would pick a Pointer first second would be a Setter and third a Brittany and with the Setter and Brittany i would try and pick one that has more white to help with the heat.

one dog at a time for wild phez is fine that's how i hunt them most of the time,they will bump a few at first but all you have to do is be quiet and let the dog figure it all out.

my parents cat took a very small piece of my youngest pups inner eyelid off with her claw, thankfully it was nothing to worry about and it didn't get infected, so be careful or you may have a one eyed dog .

He is not being defiant it is a big adjustment to be taken away from mom and siblings and then left in a crate all alone, it will get better in a short time although it may seem like it takes forever.

At 10 weeks he can only make it a few hours at most without messing so keep that in mind and plan accordingly, my youngest britt who is 6 months old now took about three weeks to calm down in his crate but know when i say"IN" or bedtime he just goes right in his crate and waits for me to shut the do...

IMO...just remember that this season is for the dog...its a training season. The birds will teach the dog. You will reward desired behavior and discourage unwanted behavior. I don't think its anymore complicated than that. Try not to put the dog in the field with 200 pheasant. However, pheasant is ...

Recall is solid. I have to admit not shooting a rooster that flushes wild inside gun range will be hard. This past season was my oldest pups first season he was a year old and after bumping one covey of quail and a few singles he had them figured out but pheasants took him a little longer (lack of ...

There will be a learning curve as wild birds do not like to be crowded and we know how pheasants like to run, but it usually does not take long for the pup to figure out how much pressure he can put on them just be patient and DO NOT SHOOT ANY BIRD unless he points and holds to the flush.I would als...

1000 dollars for a 9 month old pup as you described her is a fair price, people need to really think about how much time has been put into that pup to get her where she is not just "sticker shock".I think sometimes people also believe that since the pup is a little older that they will not bond like...

I do believe pigeons and launchers can make the job much easier. I believe the Lion Country launchers are the best deal going. Couldn't agree more. About wild birds, they can teach a dog but they won't train a dog. It is my opinion that for training, wild birds are over rated! They don't co-operate...

You risk the chance of your pup catching a bird using anything other than pigeons in a launcher and i do not see how you could train on wild birds because it is not a controlled situation.Now with that being said i have trained dogs without a launcher and using pen raised birds and i believe the dog...
