I've read that it is good to wait until the dog is full-grown to spay/neuter due to the hormones that play a big part in development.

Are you taking your pup for a walk using a flexi or check cord? If using a flexi, keep it short enough to be able to control where he goes. If the check cord, I'd highly suggest not using it and keep it associated with training situations. Yes, going on a walk is a training situation, but not a fiel...

Take a trip to your nearest Bass Pro or Cabela's and measure the boxes they have for sale for dimensions. Or look at boxes online; most manufacturers give the dimensions. Another option is look at an Owens do it yourself box. All you add is the plywood. You can look on http://www.gundogsonline.com/ ...

Pups go through an imprinting period between 8-20 weeks. Positively exposing them to everything you expect them to experience as an adult during this period is important.

Pups go through an imprint period between 8 and 20 weeks. Everything you expect them to be exposed to as an adult should be introduced during this period.
