Re: Best dog for a new gal
I heartily second the choice of pointer if it is a pointing dog and a lab if it is not. The pointer, moreso than any other pointing breed, comes out of the chute with the tools to make a good hunting dog. They often exhibit strong pointing instingct at 8 weeks old. They are pretty hard to mess up p...

Re: How much does the handler do to have a good dog ?
Simple answer: Purchase young pup with proven blood lines of your liking. Purchase Carhart overalls. Hunt said pup repeatedly in areas with opportunity of exposure, wild or planted. Never shoot a bird that pup has not pointed and held for you to flush. When Carhart coveralls become frayed and shredd...
