Gun Dog Forum

I'm having the same problem with my Brit. He is 14 months old. I'm in eastern pa and hunt on some stocked game lands here and in jersey. I also go to a preserve to hunt planted birds. The problems I have are he doesn't seem to adapt to surroundings. In an open field I can see him and constantly rec...

If my dog ranged 200 yds I wouldn't be able to hear him and he won't be able to hear me. I think it's good to note where your hunting. I would prefer 25 yd sweep to the left and then a 25 yd sweep to the right. And I could walk at a nice pace in the middle with a buddy or two at my sides. Is this to...

Has anyone made a gun/storage box in their suv. Specifically a Subaru Outback. Looking for ideas. It won't be deep enough for my guns unless I break them down. That's what I plan on doing. I also want to fit a crate on top. I have a Brittany so it not a big one. I would love to see some pictures of ...

Save a few more $$. And get a franch instinct L. I got one in 20 ga. It's a dream to carry and shoot. 7 year warranty. Picked mine up for 850.

I'm looking for a trainer located in the southeast Pa. area to force fetch my Brittany. He had had two months of training under his belt but only seems to retrieve when he wants. He just wants to find the next bird. He's all business in the field. He will be 1 yr old in November. This will be his fi...

Dusty w gsp's is in the pocono area. I'm from the philly suburbs and I sent my Brittany there. He has s Facebook page. Mike Wagner and his wife have about 13 gsp's of there own. They breed and train pointing dogs. He was featured several times on pa outdoor life. His prices are reasonable as well.

My dog is well cared for and in fact doesn't even have a yard to get out of. Aside from his daily bathroom breaks I run him in the woods and fields 2-3 times a week. I might add this is my first dog let alone my first gun dog. I never knew about the medical concerns. Do nuetured dogs still try to hu...

He's your dog and you are free to do what you want... However, can I ask a question: Why do you feel the need to neuter him at all? What issues are you trying to avoid or fix by neutering. There are pros and cons to neutering, and those change based on the age... A dog before 2 will grow abnormally...

Hi all. I have an 8 month old Brittany male. I was wondering on timing for neutering. I've heard and read a lot of different regarding drive, personality, and weight gain. Frankly I don't want him to change at all. I like everything about him. This will be his first hunting season. By the start of t...

Thanks. That's good advice. I will be looking into navdha and reaching out to the local chapters. I had him out Saturday working with pigeons. He does well. Everything you listed he does except for heeling. The trainer didn't touch on that. He turns on two toots and comes with one long blast of the ...

Hey guys. New to the forum and new to dogs. I have a 7 month old Brittany that has had about 6 weeks formal training about 2 hrs away. I was wondering if anyone knew of trainers in the Philadelphia area for some work through the summer. He's gun broke and points well. Needs work on retrieving. He ju...
