Gun Dog Forum

I have a 12 and 20 ga Stoeger sxs. Not the prettiest guns ever made but when you pull the trigger they go boom every time. For the price you don't worry about laying them down in a wet field or the back of a pickup !

Chevy Avalanche .. It's like driving a really BIG car. All the amenities of the wifes Volvo and the ability to go just about anywhere. MPG are of little concern since the phone co. provides my daily driver. It does pinch a little when the $$ gets above $75 on a fill up ......

Where do you live Lemonpointer? One thing about pointers is that they aren't big fans of cold water at first. The best way in my opinion is to wait till the water hits 60 degrees and take him for a long hard run. Then take him to some water. He might just jump in and start swimming. If he looks cra...

Thanks for the advice

I have had my English Pointer puppy for about a week now. I was considering attending a NAVHDA training day in mid April. I liked what I read about NAVHDA vs. filed trialing my new pup. After reading further about what is involved in the utility test I don't know if it is right for a pointer. Perhap...

Tried to post pics but having a hard time. Pics came out too big and avatar size is too many KiBs. Still working on it

Thanks for the well wishes. Looking forward to many fun years ahead with my new hunting buddy.

New to the forum, So hello to all. I just finished reading a post regarding the training of a 4 month old GSP. It was a well needed shot in the arm :) I have owned 4 puppies in my life (2 hunters and 2 pound pups). Why is it then upon picking up my new pointer on 2/28 I feel as though I have never d...
