Re: were do i go from here
I say run her this season and see if she decides to hold her birds and make you a part of the team. If she lets you eventually get there, I'd shoot her a few birds, even if she helps flush. Then get her broke before next season. If she never makes you part of the team, I'd probably look for another...

Re: Should I Shoot?
This will not work for everyone, but, it's my method. The rule is - don't shoot over a dog until it is pointing the pigeon in a pop-box, and you can walk up and put a food on it. To build a dog to this point, use the natural pointing ability of the dog coupled with perfect timing of release of the ...
