setterpoint

get your pup birdy first let him know there are birds out there and you want have no trouble the dogs breeding should over ride another dog in the field but you still will need to run your pup alone some so pup will not depend on older dog so much

setterpoint

dont let the dog circl the bird once the dog points if any movement make the bird fly if you see the dog wind the bird and dont point hit the launcher i would use a check cord and not let dog chase ...and go easy with the ecollar around birds .. go back when the dog was doing things right and let do...

setterpoint

my setters cant take the heat like the one pointer i have .some of the setters do better than some of the others but nothing like the pointer so early morning i hunt my setters when it starts to warm up in early grouse season i hunt the pointer

setterpoint

thick aspen cutovers..yards 100 any thing over is getting a bit to far ..yes i use astro and bell

i know some will not agree with this.but have you tried the wing on a string to see if the dog will point if you havent i would try this just dont let the dog catch the wing as soon as the dog points then you know the dog will at least point then stop and put the dog back on birds remember when you ...
