Gun Dog Forum

Hello, I want to introduce myself. I live in Idaho and I love to bird hunt. I spent twenty years in the army with a few deployments to Iraq. I find bird hunting to be the most therapeutic thing in the world. I have owned labs for many years and mainly pheasant hunt with them. I put a deposit down on a English pointer pup. I am super excited to begin a new adventure with a pointer.

I am still new here as well so not from one of the cool kids but thank you for your service and all the best to you and the new pointer puppy.

Welcome to the forum and the state. Good luck with the new dog. I live in the eastern part of the state and we mostly hunt huns, sharpies and forest grouse over here along with some put and take pheasants.

Welcome to the forum. Make sure you post pictures of your new pointer pup when you get him.

I am getting a female puppy out of this litter from Harris Kennels. I am super excited to get her.

I agree 100% with the therapeutic aspect of birddogging, especially in the part of the west you get to enjoy. You picked the right kind of dog for the location. Welcome to the forum and thanks for your service. Some good folks here, new and old.

Awesome thank you Sharon. I have read posts on this forum and finally decided to join in.

I'm south of Marsing. If you would like some help when it comes to training time for your pup I will be glad to be of assistance.

Thanks that would be fantastic. My 14 year old daughter is very excited about the pointer pup. She wants to help train it.

You're a lucky man to have Mask help you out.

Is there a video training set that you would recommend that I follow when the new pup gets here? I know there are a number of different ones out there. I have never trained a pointer and I am very excited for the opportunity.

The book Training With Mo is a great place to start and it lays a very solid foundation.
