Sweet gravy marie! I don't come here fer months and this is what I find! The solution is a simple one...: it’s a pointer, so who cares! You can always cull the dang thing and get some more. It aint like there's a shortage of the fleabitten things. Ya see that’s the difference between setter folks an...

For me there just has to be some substance behind a good dog name...or at least some sort or ryme or reason.

My setters name: Springset parti-girl (Jonesy for short)

My GWP's name is Oprah vom Treborwolf (Oprah for short)

When I hunt partridge in Oregon, we can only shoot a total of 8 whether they are Huns or chukar. Which states allow you to shoot a limit of both? In Utah the bag limit is 5 Chukar/day and 5 Huns/day, same with Idaho I believe. ('cept the limit is 6 or 8?) However our forest grouse harvest is setup ...

I think this is a varied and complicated question, and I have no input other than a link to The Springset Website (home of the 10-year guarantee) as food for thought. The Ten year guarantee Here is the part that I like the best: Please Note: You do not have to return your dog to Springset to get a r...

As, some of you know I do Nuisance Wildlife Control. Well, I had just finished removing some baby raccoons from a clients home and left them in the truck with Oprah (my new GWP pup...about 4 months old.) Upon returning to the truck (with the client...who wanted to see the baby's) I found a massacre....

This "trick" has worked for me. When my pup is getting out too far or not paying attention I HIDE! The idea being that the dog must search YOU out. They get scared, they panic, and when they find you, they are so relieved they decide "maybe its a better idea if I stay a little closer..." Has worked ...

After last years "wasted" turkey tag, spent scouting and camping, I needed some heavy duty counseling. I mean I had wasted a coveted Utah wild turkey tag...and it was nobody's fault but my own!!! Luckily, I'm a fast learner...and while I can't put in for a couple more years, my father was able to su...

I've been a bit busy to post pics...finally getting around to it. These sessions are great. We're learning a lot and the dogs are coming right along. I had to leave a little early, so I took these pics before everyone else arrived. Jo-jo on point! No flagging either. (took lots of kicking in the bus...

Boys, do I need to get the "hugging" emoticon out!

Sounds to me like you got a real hum-dinger! My thoughts are concurrent with sdgord's in that what you describe is the opposite of what most Gordon’s should be. Maybe this is a little harsh, but it sounds like you may need to spend more time with the dog, especially obedience training. And remember,...

I've had a Benelli M2 autoloader in 20 ga. for the past 4 years. Its a great gun, handles and shoots well, and boys....this thing is light!!!!

I've always found it a good idea to challenge your dog. Keeps 'em motivated and sharp. Decided to throw Jonesy a fast one today and try some new stuff. The first couple of birds were pointed and nothing new was added. Still gotta work on the flagging thing...but I think it might be an invention of b...

Gordon setter enthusiasts (ah heck and anybody else too... :wink: ), Looks like Springset Gordon Setters has unveiled their new site. It seems to be still “in the works,” but I like the new style...very simple to navigate, and lots of pics. Check it out at: http://www.springset.com Enjoy it, Caleb

After watching a SW quail hunt at 12Volts place Friday night, I got the incurable hankerin’ to try it out for myself. Plus it'd be a chance to get out of the frigged cold Utah winter. Brrrrrrrr! Not!

Chukar. Is there a better bird for training dogs? Good sized, hold well, don't run, fly well, and easy to raise. (unlike wild chukar however...)

Utah happens to be one of only a handful of states that have a hunt for this facinating species of waterfowl. You'd think with over 40,000 wintering on the Great Salt Lake each year tagging one would be easy. My father pulled a tag the last three years but always came up empty handed dispite our bes...

You won't regret it! Suzanne Sorby is a fantastic author and the books reads almost like a novel. Very funny, to the point, and a must have for us Gordon owners.
