Re: GSP Training Timeline
I have recently purchased a German Shorthaired Pointer. Given this was a versatile dog, I had planned on teaching it multiple things, such as retrieving and pointing. I have read around and recently been reading the book “The training and care of the versatile hunting dog.” In the book it says to w...

My condolences to all who've lost a fur buddy this past year as my good fiend did recently. They are one of our greatest blessings even just to have had them.

Re: Looking to add a pup….
Having previously owned Britts and now a setter, I would go with a setter. Without denigrating an entire breed, my setter is 10 times the dog either of my britts were.

Alpha T100 hand unit is fritzing. Has anyone had this problem?
When I last plugged in my Alpha, instead of going into charging mode, the unit turned on. I tried removing the battery to reset it but that didn't help and of course it slowly discharged. After multiple attempts, it does the same thing. I can't get it to enter charge mode. I couldn't find anything o...

Re: false pointingIhave a setter
Yeah, lots of missing information on this one. Garrison pretty much covered it all.
Are the real and false points of the same intensity? When my setter is ON a bird, he's a darned statue. Other times he stops but doesn't freeze solid.

Beautiful Portrait of my Llewellyn
My golf buddy and good friend is a gifted artist. After some prodding and begging, I finally got him to agree to paint my boy Whip. He's just adding some final touches and I should get it next week. I'm beyond pleased with it. Whip is a very special dog.
