Getting them on a hot scent is a good start. Eventually she will be able to pick up a cold scent and work it to the rabbit. Just make sure you get in tune with her chopping. You should know the difference if she is running a cold scent, hot scent or a different animal. Trash break of she starts runn...

Only one way to know for sure. Strap it to your leg on the highest setting, have wife start video recording you, hit the continuous stim button, then post the video so we can determine if its working properly. Jk. My dogs collar doesnt make proper contact unless it is in 4 or 8 oclock position under...

It sounds like he has the desire. I think if you let him of the cc he would most definitely catch a pen raised bird. Like said above, make a training plan and stick to it. I have my first also 13 mo gsp. It has been challenging but it is a great feeling of accomplishment to see the dog performing pr...

Re: Trouble locating shot birds.
The reason I brought 9 birds is because every other time i go out I lose some. If I bring 3 I lose one, if i bring 5 i lose 2. I figured if i brought more we would find 4-5, but these birds stuck right where i dropped them. I have had some slip out of my hand and fly away, several times I have watch...

Re: Anybody using an interesting theme in naming their dogs?
I have always had female dogs and always chose names popular in the late 1800's. Cleo, Delilah, Daisy until I got the new pup and decided to let the kids name it. I wanted Lilly or another name I cant remember. I got Jersey. It was originally with a z but I wouldn't allow it.
