The shedding is common and if you bath and curry with a brush evry day, that will help a lot.

I would recommend Ronnie Sales of Free flight Kennels, good trainer and good fella.

I'm in Dallas.. Sending a dog to North Dakota..Big country..Lots of "wild" birds..Trainer might take your pup..If you stay around Houston, I second the Ronnie Sale suggestion. He started both of my dog's and they are bird "crazy"..He is a good, honest guy!!!

Congrats on the new pup. Shedding is going to happen this time of year. To cut down on it you can make sure to give your dog a good feed and also brush with a deshedding brush as well as a surface hair brush as much as possible.
