Re: Summer Camp Training ???

I have two headed to Northern New Hampshire for the summer. One shooting dog and one fall derby. I do not have the means to summer train here and we have too many snakes.

Re: GROUSE HOLLOW FANTASY

Go to Willie Walker Setter Database, he is on there. It seems like old hemlock blood. He was possibly a dual setter.

Gotta get a handle on this pup

I have a 9 month old setter who is built to run. He makes 600 yard casts already and does hold it together somewhat in the timber. Whenever I get near fields or a power line he just lets it go and disappears. I am looking for advice on handling him without taking it out of him. I have not touched hi...

Re: Pennsylvania Grouse

Hunted Perry County this morning for 3 hours and had 6 flushes. I only got one shot. My older setter got stung in the nose area by some bees and was having major difficulty scenting the birds. I ran my pup after him and he ran strong but had no birds.

Re: Pennsylvania Grouse

I have been out 3 times so far this season. I hunted the first day in the Northern tier of PA and I hunted this past Saturday in Central Pa. We ran into a good amount of birds opening day and they were all based around Hemlock trees near young Beech. This past weekend the birds were once again near ...

Re: Stillmeadows Jim

I have a Stillmeadows bred pup now. He is 12 months old has lots of point and has a good natural ground pattern. I have seen quite a few Pennstar pups and dogs and they seem to have it all plus lots of speed.

Re: Whoa barrel

I just ended my 2nd week of whoa training on the barrel with my 10 month old setter. I have moved him to the ground after the last 3 sessions and today he was standing completely still and allowing me to walk around the yard. I set up a plastic barrel under my maple tree outback. I put my thick rope...

Re: Grouse Dog Range

My English Setter grouse dog changes his range to the cover we are in. If we are in a older cut and more open woods , he usually makes 175-300 yard casts. He covers the ground fast and makes big circles. When we are in thick cuts and laurel he usually is within 100 yards or so.

Re: Llewellin setter grouse dogs

I own a 9 month old setter from Riversides Kennel in Dauphin, Pa. I am very happy with his development on grouse so far. He found 3 yesterday on a ugly, snowy and windy day here in Central Pa. I would recommend their pups to anyone. I also have heard good about Lynn Hill Setters.
