10 month old Brit. Drumming woods ion Sirus. Call name Si

Thank you for all he comments. Bonsa.... You ask what I did with the pup? In the field? We left. I quit hunting those birds for the year. I have instead been working on Whoa and using bird launchers. I have taken him back in the field on planted birds, but with birds I know will fly and in situation...

Hey guys. I'm looking for some advice for both my pup and my peace of mind as well. My Britt is 8 months old now. We have been hunting birds as often as time and money permit and having a blast!!! Here in Wisconsin the wild pheasant is a faded memory. We spend a fair amount of time hunting released ...

Today was a great day for the pup and I. My 7 month old britt had the light bulb come on. This pup has crazy drive and is exceptionally birdy. I have been working him on birds for about the last 3 month. He runs really hard and is aggressive on the birds. He has been constantly bumping, flushing, an...

Update.... He is now 6 months old. Opening day, 20 minutes into the first field and we were done!

My question..... My 4 month Brittany likes to chew birds on retrieve. These are dead birds and usually frozen. I have been throwing 3 or 4 times every other night. He is bird crazy, runs to get them, and brings them right back. Never runs away with the bird, or plays keep away. I don't allow that. B...

As a dad with 4 kids into shooting sports I can offer the following advice. Let him test shoot some guns first. My 12 yr old daughter is lefty. She started shooting league trap at age 10. She shoots a right handed benelli m2. She is recoil sensitive so we went through a lot of guns before arriving a...

Unfortunately the wild pheasant is pretty much a thing of the past here in Wisconsin. He will mostly hunt ruffed grouse with the occasional farm pheasant hunt. So far he has exceeded all my expectations. He has been a quick learner and very willing to please. Thanks for all the nice comments! As fun...

I have a 12 week old male Brittany. We also have a 14 yr old female cocker. The cocker is deaf, and blind in 1 eye. When I put the money down on the pup we didn'nt think it would be like this. We have done all the introductions for the last 4 weeks. Neutral site, outside, inside ect... The cocker ju...

My Brittany pup is named Sirus, but his call name is Si.

Another pic! So happy to have him.

My long wait is over. After spending years as a bird boy in my youth for every trainer and field trial I could find, parents that wouldn't let me have a dog, school, getting married, buying a house, and having 4 kids I felt that the kids were old enough and I now had enough time to devote to a gun d...

I was set to start using advantix for tick control on my britt pup. My vet has recommended using activyl tick plus. Anyone have any experience or opinions on this product? I want to avoid the bio spot type due to the after effects I have seen with other dogs. Thanks!
