Sounds like a lot of egos are finding their way into another friendly post. Toot,toot. The cost of a puppy that will have a background in the variety of hunting situations the poster mentioned will run aboot $600 - $1,000. If he chooses a FT line with no recent water history, probably about $250 - $...

All I said was you are more likely to ensure your odds with a line of dogs that already does what you are looking for. Not everyone is a great trainer and can take a FC bred dog and make it into a dog that can handle a duck blind. Thanks for trying to convince everyone this is possible, but I ain't ...

I didn't realize you all are so are about this subject. I never said I didn't give the dam credit for teaching the pups. I didn't say there are NAVHDA breeders,I said check out your local NAVHDA chapter and.... To my understanding though, there are kennels that breed mostly for the NAVHDA testing sy...

It's not a matter of wanting to sit quietly,it's a matter of cooperation. A calm dog is more likely to cooperate. I didn't know that some dogs grow up to be "hyper" b/c of their mother. You know the type. The ones that just can't seem to settle down,need to run off steam for an hour or more,ones tha...

A versatile as at its best after the shot. And it is not work for them. That's why I try my best to shoot everything he points. An unproductive point can not be flushed and I did say in one of my posts that I will not pull my dog off point, if I can help it. A dog that flushes provides more opportun...

3, on the contray, I was defending your post. I do not want game to get away. If that means having the dog flush for me, I will do that. He is steady to fall.So, if he flushes, he stays put. I will not pull my dog off point, if I can help it. Anyone who is willing to pull off point because they can'...

If the dog is trained properly, at the flush the dog is then steady. And, it is about the bird. I go hunting to put game in the bag and if my dog points something, I want it. Why should I have to call my dog off of game because it can't be flushed by me? Do you think your dog appreciates being calle...

FF doesn't take that long. How many birds would be put up in steadiness training that if the dog didn't get a retrieve it would matter. After all, it is steadiness training. The dog will get his reward after he is FF'd. Nothing wrong with letting the bird fly,shooting and missing or making the retri...

Very few. Most people test and this would be confusing for most judges. AKC would for sure ask you to pick up your dog,NAVHDA would question desire, maybe the German system would be better for this type of training. If for your own purposes,it is a great idea. In the American training we teach our d...

Thank you. The VDD is not about egos. Breed within the VDD standard and you will get the "name" as your dogs prove themselves. One litter is hardly enough time for a breeder to say anything about their kennel. Kind of you to offer to promote some small time breeder but, if they wanted promoting, all...
