Re: WINGSHOOTING USA

He asked me for a video and I came through x2 for that matter. Those two dogs are more mannerly then anything on Scott's show and one is a 16 week old pup. The show just isn't for me. Why can't that be ok.

I like to use a pigeon pole with young pups like yours. Just don't let your pup catch a bird. If he doesn't point it the first couple of times I wouldn't worry too much. If he won't point a bird after the 6th or 7th go then I might be concerned a little. He's a pup and if he's bred well he'll do wha...
