I would move on and find another breeder. But before you do that, check in on that pup you returned and see how it is doing at the breeders. If he is all better, your environment would be suspect. If the pup is still suffering, well environment is less suspect. Tons of good GSP breeders in Wisconsi...

What is the status? No luck. I replaced the battery - no change. I replaced the antenna - still won't sync.

Did you remove orange from the handheld then add it back as another dog?

https://youtu.be/CgOXjpFz7_E IMO you have a very stylish young setter that no doubt has drive for birds.

If a pro has a dog up for sale you need to do your homework before buying him. You should do your homework on EVERY started dog you buy. Build a relationship with a Pro and you will not have a problem. They do not want their names tarnished by selling junk. On the other hand, If you are a good cust...

You need to keep them all to find the best one and "cull" the rest... you will find it harder to place your non competition pups. If the breeding is right, and you keep HIGH standards for the one you keep, those dogs you cull should be BRAG gun dogs, NSTRA or walking trial dogs for others. IMO some...

Breed power to power if you can... Agreed. This is good topic for conversation because (as long as no one gets their feathers all ruffled) many great/good breeders have their opinions on what has worked for them.

A collar around the flank and the neck. Man it's hard enough for me to control one collar. I can't imagine adding a second and having to keep it all straight.

We like the flank collar for whoa work. It keeps the correction away from the head (nose) during bird work. All obedience correction (i.e. handling, here, recall, etc.) is done with neck position. In theory you are running with two collars...neck and flank. Whoa work starts FIRST in the yard with ch...
