There's a training ground out in Anna (near Plano) but that's it except for wildlife MGMT areas.

Good luck on the job! I travel to Denver every week for work so it's like my second home! I actually managed more days hunting in Colorado than my home state (TX)! I'm also open if anyone's free for midweek hunting!

I know a couple around dfw.

Thanks Ruth! I'll try and get some more. She needs quite a bit more work, but at least she likes retrieving.

I have a similar situation. What I do is take my pup to some flat open area around our community and plant a bird for her. I bought a critter cage on craigslist (about 3x4x3) to keep a few pigeons. I card the birds now until I can find a place to trap more and then I'll just let them fly away. I kee...

Here's my girl Lucka doing some water retrieves. This was her first experience swimming and was making 40 yard retrieves by the end.

Thanks guys!!!

Thanks Chukar!

So I know gas stations are a good location, however the ones by my house don't have lot of bird traffic (or they clean their sidewalks religiously). Just wondering what other areas people put their traps out and have success. Maybe I'll try those places. Thanks.

Thanks for your responses guys. Yeah, I don't punish or admonish her excitement, just trying to get her to settle down a little and learn that she'll get more opportunities by sitting still/calming down. I think I will try tossing her retrieve items out and either picking them up myself or having th...

So I have my GSP sitting on command (most of the time). However she does not like to sit still for longer than about 5 seconds. Like having an A.D.D. kid on caffeine pretty much! I plan on taking her out dove hunting this year. However, I kind of need her to sit still at my side until it's time to r...

I'm right around the corner from you (Flower Mound). I have a German Shorthaired Pointer my wife and I rescued back in December. She will be a hunter and is already a pretty good one. Anyways, I have a launcher if you ever want to see what is involved. If you're not going to hunt your dog, it's not ...

Read my posts on Texasgundogclub! I posted info from my Meade trip there ES! If you need more info, pm or call me.

Congrats on rescuing. I'm getting my GSP next week in a similar deal! Wife and I are super excited and can't wait to see her!

Thanks guys for all your input. I appreciate the help and info. First rounds on me if you guys are in the area when I am!

Thanks K9BD! I appreciate the info.

My small dog (non hunting) has been on Revolution for like 8-9 years. Never a problem!

Mine is Inside full time with a dog door to access the back yard for bathroom needs.

Thanks, I was wondering if anyone else had had any similar problems. Guess that answers that question!

For those that have used Vagabondhound, do they usually get back with you in a timely manner? I filled out my online request form, called 2-3 times and have not heard anything since I originally talked with Steve. The plan was to have the dog early/middle of next week, but I cannot get ahold of him....

Thanks for the info. My dog was rescued by a guy who has beagles and a few other pointers. He knows the owner so I will check and see about getting the paperwork. Can I look it up and transfer with just his name, address, etc or does he have to "sign it over" per se?

I'm getting a GSP as kind of a rescue. I was wondering how I could track down her AKC info as she's apparently been registered, but the owner lost the paperwork. Does anyone know how I might go about this? Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm heading there the day after Christmas. Anyone have any experience there and can give me some info on the area? I'm a first year hunter, so this is mostly just a learning trip for me and the dog. Thanks.

Enter me please! I hope I have the required posts!

Heading to KS on Dec 26th with a new (to our family) GSP. Treating it as a learning experience for both me and the dog! If anyone's interested in joining up, feel free. I like to learn from others and would gladly appreciate some training input too!

I getting my dog brought down by Steve from vagabondhound. I have heard good things about him!

Great looking dogs!

Great Looking Dog. I'm getting a GSP myself in mid Dec.
