very cute, Gotta love puppy pics. Welcome to the board, I haven't been posting long myself after lurking for a long time.

Ya I agree with Sharon,very lucky, good friend to have.

I'd guess she is scratching at it because she doesn't know what it is, or what it means yet. Teach her. That's why the checkcord is still on. Don't let her stop, Bring her in with the checkcord. She'll figure it out, it's the first day

Thanks guys for all the kind words. HI Justin, It is hard looking at this little one at someone else's place. But, we are definetly glad to hear she is getting along with everyone. Looking forward to seeing you and Daisy May again. Note to Daisy May.....Angus, Chip, Riley, Dot, Baby, Misty.....they ...

Also thought I'd add, If you want to go for walks on checkcord without the structure of heel then there is another option. Don't use choke/pinch collar just a flat collar and when she hits the end of the checkcord say her name and give it a tug at the same time. Or tug and two toots on a whistle. At...

Just loooking for some feedback here. Im about to start my first Checkcord come training. The dog has been through come trainign and he does it 90 95 % of the time i acompany that with a whistle. Is it ok to start heel training right away also? He has already beeen on a leash and walking then chang...

Teach Heel; I use a choke collar but I think most would recomend a pinch collar. It's all in how you use it. They won't contiually pull and choke on it if you are doing it right and not letting them. It's just a quick snap of the collar and giving the heel command at the same time. Do this while mak...

These Pics were taken by my mother on the first day that we picked up Daisy May. We stopped by my parents house on the way home. My mother wanted to see her and I thought it would be a good way for her and Sadie Marie to get to know one another on neutral ground. Worked out pretty well and my mother...

I agree talk to Bruce (AHGSP). He seems to be doing some outcrossing on dog's from Hustler lines with good results.

Hey SD Pheasant Slayer the bottom of Cash's pedigree looks pretty similar to my Daisy May's.

I had several special evenings on the couch with Rip. Best dog ever. Great attitude. Logan had a reputation for consistently throwing great pups. When I think of Walnut Hill, I think of great noses and great biddability. My own WHK dog in my signature below, has as good a nose as I've ever seen on ...

Easiest way I know of is when she starts to go forward, turn sharply. First few times turn into her and bump her in the side with your jnee. Then make sharp turns to the right and quick turns 180 degrees and correct immediately. Also make 180 degree turns where you turn into her making her come aro...

Very Cute Pup.

I'm basically doing the same as you with my pup. Letting her cry a bit then taking her out when she quiets back down. Though I do wake her up to take her out a couple times in the night. But by 4:00 4:30 she is whining.

what an idiot don't you just want to slap people like that! yep, sure do. but I tried to display some self-control. I figured why make a bad situation worse. Stuff happens, hopefully he will learn from it and be more careful in the future. I'll be more careful myself. I checked the field over good ...

Ya we are all right. I was just a little ticked off at the time. Great day in the field ruined by someone not thinking.

Sorry to hijack but I have one that goes with the theme. I Can't believe what I just saw.... Play by Play I'm out hunting today on a large (15,000 acre) public wildlife area.

I have a question, what exactly is the advantage to "steady to flush/shot"? IMO Steady to flush is a matter of safety for your dog. Have you ever seen a dog break for a bird that flushes low and someone doesn't see the dog when they shoot the bird ? I have, wasn't even my dog, it was the shooters d...

You might be able to add a folding stock or adjustable stock to the pistol grip. Make it alot more usable and still mantain the small profile. something similar to this http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCa...

Have you shot it yet? I have a fealing that it wouldn't feal so great on the wrist.

Kenneldeck looks pretty nifty, and you could take it with you. Never tried it though my dog is a spoiled rotten house dog.

Ditch__Parrot

Normally that would be correct but, you all ready have a dog that is showing signs of gun shyness and none of the foundation work that should have been done missing, so you can not take a chance on getting it wrong. You will only get one shot at this if the dog does become gun shy it is almost impo...

I have a friend who shoots a Franchi 48. He swears it has the lightest recoil of any shotgun he has ever shot. It is definately one of the lightest (weight) out there. You might even think about the 28 GA. Price is subjective. It's pricey to me but at under a grand for most models it's cheaper than ...

Ditch__Parrot

I think the true value in your point of view lies in that you know your dog well. You know what works for him/her in the hunting conditions that you put him/her in and pay close attention to signs that he/she is giving. It is my opinion though that for someone looking for advice on feeding times the...

Ditch__Parrot

I couldn't agree more. I read somewhere...I wish I could remember where, that you should feed your dog approximately 20-22 hours before activity. This is how long it takes the nutrients to be absorbed and turn into energy in order to gain maximum performance of your dog. Exactly right. I would have...

Ditch__Parrot

But is it reasonable for me to think that if i have some dekes, a good pair of waders, and maybe learn to call a little, I could expect to be somewhat successful eventually? Well you need a dog of course!!! :lol: :lol: A shotgun might help too. I'd add a decoy bag, and one of those waterproof camo ...

Ditch__Parrot

Yes I do, I've heard it said that I shouldn't need it in winter but I worry about fleas from being arounnd other dogs in hunting season. Maybe I'm paranoid but figure better safe than sorry.

LOL "bleep"'s LOL

Ditch__Parrot

LOL I've had this trouble too. Now I bend or kneel down a bit when I call her. I do it at all times. When in a group ill whistle the recall if she doesn't already know which is me she'll look down the line for the one slightly bent over.

I guess we all look the same in orange.

Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it steady him back up and don't shoot the one's he busts. Have you tried a remote launcher for steadying up his point? Haha I was assuming they were wild birds because they were flushing under preassure.oops It sounds like your'e getting better flyers tha...

Ditch__Parrot

It's good to know it works, I've been lucky so far but I'll be carrying the ingrediants for this in my truck at all times now

Ditch__Parrot

At 20ft I'd be inclined to guess that they are busting from the preasure he's putting on them. Wild birds are more jumpy than pen raised it will take a young dog awhile to figure out how much preassure he can put on them. But if you shoot anyway he'll figure it don't matter. Some wild birds will flu...

I was thinking as my dog matures and I feel comfortable to hunt with others and their dogs there will be an issue with the whistle and how the dogs are controlled assuming they are using whistle commands.

Ummmm. It sounds like you're trying to turn a pointing bred dog into a flusher. You could always trade her for a Lab. If you're worried about finding her on point I'd us a bell or a beeper collar.

To get good answers you will need to post more info. What breed of dog ? How old ? and what do you consider acceptable range ? On a pointing breed running over birds is usually a pointing problem not a running problem....unless it's outrunning it's nose then it's a breeding problem or lack of experi...

She only gets in the brush when she smells a trail leading into the brush or I give the "In" command and she goes in for a second to humor me.

I'm new here, but after reading this....I thought I'd give my 2 pennies. I was always under the impression that a pup can learn well. Don't take his drive away...have patience. But the tool I use after a dog is OVER 1 year old .... is the shock collar. I don't know how alot feel about this tool.......

Ditch__Parrot

Congrats on the purchase. I have an 870 express also. Nice shotgun. Great shotgun for the money. Definateley clean and oil it before using. It should also have a built in trigger lock. There should be a green key in the box. doesn't look like a key but it is. Read the manual.
