Not sure what that event was. Maybe some sort of a fun day. Definitely not a hunt test. I don't know if you would pass a junior test with all the talking. A junior would not have a retrieve. Your biggest issue in ND would be finding enough tests to title your dog. We do have quite a few tests in Mi...

I see you are in ND. You are going to have to travel if you are going to run in AKC pointing dog hunt tests. I got on the AKC event search site for last year and looked up pointing dog hunt tests for last year in ND---there were none listed. Nearest ones are in SD & MN. It's fun to run in them--giv...

My advice would be to read up on the requirements of whichever tests or levels you want to run, then go to a test and observe. It's difficult to just read and figure out what you need to do. It's hard to explain from a keyboard also :D There are some youtube videos that show some tests. Here is one...

I have 3 gsp's and 2 labs in the house, my male gsp sheds a lot or possibly just because he's black and white I notice it more the females are mother and daughter and the daughter sheds less than her mother but that may change as shes still young but the mother isn't to bad for sheding usually if sh...

a hard top on a wrangler is better in the winter than the soft top but the soft is nice in the sumer because it can be droped easy and if it starts to rain its back up in couple mins. perdonaly i like my cherokee alot more for a daily driver and its more than capable off road. i prefere the cherokee...

birddogsunlimited

i second going with the wrangler and if you can find one with the 4.0 inline 6 engine even better i found when i had a 94 it was lacking in power when i was playing with it. on the street it was fine but after a set of 33 the fule economy went down hill too with that 4 poper. i have a 90 cherokee ri...

birddogsunlimited

i had mavrick done at 2 years old and have never had any problems with dominance my lab was done around a year and he thinks he rules the roost . so i think it just depends on the breed and personality of the dog to begin with but thats just my opinion

birddogsunlimited

if you did some looking you could possibly find some of the pointing labs out there that fit in that range i know of a couple people have have some that are right around 40lbs
