Thank you. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks a lot Tekoa. I will he hunting with my 3 years old Pudelpointer. I'll be based in Eagle-Vail. Between Vail and Avon. Very helpful information. Once again, thanks a lot.

Hi All, I will be spending a few days in Vail, Colorado during the month of September. Are there any hunting opportunities in the region? I am not asking for honey holes just a general guidance so I know where to look for.
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Yes, my question was more related to pheasant's behavior than anything else, but I appreciate everybody's input anyway. I'm aware 5 days in very little time for the dog to figure them out.

Hi All, I have a 2 1/2 years old pudelpointer. We went to SD last November and saw a lot of birds, but it was difficult for him stop the running roosters. He pointed some hens and some roosters, but a lot of them just never stoped running and you could see this was a struggle for him. We were there ...

Let let me get that video for you. I'll get back soon. Thanks

No at all. Far from finished

Yes, ear pinch and and hold.

Two questions - Training: Has the dog been force fetched without the collar yet? Collar: Sounds like your collar isn't much good. Sportdogs are known for being a very high quality collar. I would look something else, I prefer dogtra. Yes, he´s been forced fetched without the collar. I am trying to ...

Hi everybody, I have a 2 years old pudelpointer. I am working on force fetching at this moment. The ecollar I am using is a sportdog 1825. The challeng I have is that if I set the stimulation at level 2 it doesn't seem strong enough, but if I crank it up to 3 then it seems like it is too much becaus...

I guess if I want a dog that ranges 75 and 150 yards that checks on me really often I should go with either the DD or the DK.

Nice looking pup!!
Where did he come from?

so what I understand here is that the american lines are faster and smaller than the german lines?

What's the difference between the GWP and the Deutsche Drahthaar? Are they same breed? The same goes with the GSP and the Deutsche Kurzhaar.
I am little bit confused with this. Thanks

Thanks everybody for your inputs.

Hi everybody, I have a pudelpointer that is 16 months old. I took it to Montana on September for 15 days. We hunted mostly sharptails and some huns. The first 2 days were difficult because he was getting too close to the birds and flushing them. But he got better everyday and at the end of the trip ...

Thanks a lot for your advice. I see that I am making all the mistakes you have mentioned. As soon as my dog is on point I would walk toward him saying whoa and then walk by him to flush. As soon as I do this he walks with me. I will try walking around him to see what happens. Thank you very much. Be...

I forgot to mention that he is a 16 moths old pudelpointer.

I got a question for you guys with more experience than me. I've been using the whoa command to steady my dog when he is on point because he has a tendency to creep in. But I've noticed that his points lose a little bit of intensity once I whoa in. Is this normal? My other question is this. When tra...
