Sore on puppy foot

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or give some info on how to heal it up. I hope maybe ...

20 vs 28 weight depends if they were built on the same frame or not. The 28 can be built on a small frame and be proportionally lighter than the 20. True, except no one makes a 28 gauge gun on a 28 gauge frame in the sub $1500 market, much less the $500 market the original poster mentions. FWIW, Da...

What is considered a point in the NA test? Does the point have to be for a certain length of time? Does the dog have to be steady enough for you to be able to flash the bird?
Any info on how the "point" is scored would be appreciated.
