Re: Retriever net lab pups
I take it you have had all those dogs OFA'd in 35 yrs. I did a check on ofa's website. Not 1 miller dog has a OFA number and only 15 elhew. Seems odd with 2 of the 1 time top pointer breeders.

Re: Stopping the Chase?
Time to teach stop to flush using a check cord. Most everything we do is taught first then over laid with the e-collar. By teaching the STF the dog relates that a bird in the air they must stand. I find it easier to teach STF before steading the dog. the steadiness seems to fall in place.
