Gun Dog Forum

I know its off of the bird dog subject but have a question. I am looking to get a handgun to deer hunt with and really like the ruger SP101 with 4.2 inch barrel. (cause I can't afford a redhawk) does anyone have any suggestions on the SP101 for deer hunting.

I like the barrel idea and I bet its cheap to make to

Does anyone know anybody who makes good dog houses in Kentucky or Central Tennessee?

Has anyone been having trouble with gun dog central. When you select a type of dog and then try to select a state or breed it doesn't bring up the dogs that are listed. I was just wondering if anyone has been having the same trouble or if they know how to fix it. Thanks

Myself and a couple of buddies are looking to go pheasant hunting this year, possibly in South Dakota. Does anyone have any advice on where to go or are there any good public places to go hunt?
Thanks

I love it, I use it on my birds and my chickens and my dogs. It works great to keep flies away and to keep fleas out of my yard.

I have a 4 month old GSP, and I am wanting some tips on what, if any type of training I should be working on with him right now?
Thanks

I have a small quail coop with 12 Bobwhites in it to train with. I only have a small piece of property so I can only get it about 40 yards away from my dog kennel. Is this too close to my dogs?

I don't want to sound stupid but I am new to bird dogs, but what is OFA certified?

Its full name is Big Footed Boomer

Is anyone familiar with the Boomer bloodline?

I was wondering about a Gordon Setter. I have never hunted with one and dont know anyone else in Kentucky that does. But there are some people close to me who just had a litter and I was considering trying one. Started with EP, then went to ES, Brit, now I have Gordon's. Love the breed, all the bree...

He will try to catch them sometimes but acts like he looses interest really quik. I have always been told not to let a dog catch a bird. I am just hoping he comes around and I haven't bought a dud. I don't think we are understanding what he is saying. The dog is running over the top of them and igno...

No I haven't seen the parents hunt but I do know they will. My uncle hunts with the parents and he has a female out of the same sire and dam from a previous litter and his dog is doing great.

Now my French Brittany is 8 months old and I have some live quail and he not pointed the first quail or pigeon. Im starting to loose faith in him. He is a good dog but just doesn't act birdy. He gets out in a field and runs around like he is trying to hunt but he had walked right over top a planted ...

Does anyone know any good public land to hunt grouse in Kentucky or Tennessee?

This is my first brittany pup and he will soon be 6 months old. Is it normal for a Brittany not to be pointing at this age?

Any advice on when to train my Brittany to force retrieve?

I have a 4 month old French Brittany Pup. I have had the pup for 3 weeks. I have been working with him on Come, and sit. I bought a video by Bob West. I think it is a good training video and have been following it right on the money. During training my pup tends to just lay down and act like he has ...

I just got a brittany pup 1 week ago. The pup is 3 months old and came from a good breeder. Everyone I have talked to says brittanys are naturally kind of shy anyway. I have started trying to get it used to a leash. When I put it on him at first he fought it. He has quit fighting it now but just lay...

I have a new male French Brittany Spaniel puppy. I have had lots of puppies in the past but this one barks constantly. He is 3 months old I have had him for 1 week and when I put him in his kennel he won't stop barking. Is there any advice anyone has. I hate to use a bark collar because of his young...

I'm located in southern Kentucky.

I am wondering if anyone has any expierience with using German Shorthaired pointers for bird hunting and retrieving. I mean retrieving like quail and retrieving ducks as well. I don't have one yet but I am considering buying one. Drop me a line if you have any advice on this. Thanks!
