My condolences to all who've lost a fur buddy this past year as my good fiend did recently. They are one of our greatest blessings even just to have had them.

Re: Looking to add a pup….

Having previously owned Britts and now a setter, I would go with a setter. Without denigrating an entire breed, my setter is 10 times the dog either of my britts were.

Alpha T100 hand unit is fritzing. Has anyone had this problem?

When I last plugged in my Alpha, instead of going into charging mode, the unit turned on. I tried removing the battery to reset it but that didn't help and of course it slowly discharged. After multiple attempts, it does the same thing. I can't get it to enter charge mode. I couldn't find anything o...

Re: false pointingIhave a setter

Yeah, lots of missing information on this one. Garrison pretty much covered it all.

Are the real and false points of the same intensity? When my setter is ON a bird, he's a darned statue. Other times he stops but doesn't freeze solid.

Beautiful Portrait of my Llewellyn

My golf buddy and good friend is a gifted artist. After some prodding and begging, I finally got him to agree to paint my boy Whip. He's just adding some final touches and I should get it next week. I'm beyond pleased with it. Whip is a very special dog.
