Re: Gun dog for a guy in early 60's

Well first season nearly over and the lab ( Irish x English) is working out ok!
Hunts close(ish). Shot a few pheasants a couple grouse with her.
Looking forward to retirement for next season.

Feather Finder, you sir, are a gentleman and knowledgeable dog man.
I read all your input and for a new middle age guy 😁 Believe I am a good judge of character.

Re: Gun dog for a guy in early 60's

Ended up with a started dog with Irish / UK pedigree.
Been a long long process, she was born in May 2018, hoping to get her home August.

I have a started dog I booked last year, March/April should be ready.
Any one have experience with this kennel?
Good pedigrees just feel like I am getting the run around, still no dog.

Re: Gun dog for a guy in early 60's

Has anyone had experience with started British labs advertised in gun dog magazine? I have contacted some and it sounds good.

Re: Gun dog for a guy in early 60's

Wow, great advice from a lot of knowledgable dog people, working with a cocker breeder/trainer on started dog. Pointing labs are really tough to find. She who must be obeyed says no more GSP's so that might be out of the question, going to some trials to look at all the options. Thanks for the advice

Gun dog for a guy in early 60's

Looking for recommendations, I hunt rough grouse and released pheasants in Alberta Canada. I have had labs, Springers and a disastrous time with a gsp. I was looking at cockers,puddlepointers or pointing labs.
