Welcome to the forum. Make sure you post pictures of your pup when you get it.

Thanks on the follow up & picture. Keep working with him and you'll have a good hunting dog that you will get a lot of years hunting over.

I'm glad you found out that he likes to swim. That's a good exercise for him, especially in hot weather. I've had a lot of britts and they have ALL been high energy dogs--I think you just have a layed back calm one :D I haven't had much energy difference between my males & females. Good luck with th...

Sureshot--Good looking pup.

See if you can find a NAVHDA club in Alabama that is close to you. They will have training grounds, birds, equipment, & people that can help you train. They have training days & you could go to one of them to see if you would like to join the club. Good luck with your dog.

I used to breed about 1 litter of britts every year or two. Starting about 6 weeks old, I would start exposing the pups to dead quail. By the time they went to their new homes, I had them carrying the dead quail around--I even had a few of them bringing them back to me and getting a treat in exchang...

My favorite print is "Country Road" - pheasants by Terry Redlin.

Ain't nothing better than workin' dogs, unless it's huntin' with dogs

Great looking pup

Welcome to the forum. We all need to see a picture of your dog.

deseeker

After you posting the picture of your dog, I'm with slistoe -- the dog looks in great shape. I also agree with a once a day night feeding, it lets the dog digest the food and they can run on an empty stomach the next day without the bloat worry JMO. Good luck with the dog.

Do a web search for-- Satin Ball Recipes. These have a lot of calories in them and should be used as a supplement after their regular meal. I would also try useing a little more of their PPP and adding chicken broth(un salted only) to the PPP and mix it well together --that way my dogs would eat mor...

Did you update the collar when you got it? It works better if you have the latest update. Garmin has the information on their website. My buddy had to update his when he got it (his mini collar updates a different way then his regular size collar does--he has both size of collars).

deseeker

I'm with everybody else--make sure the collar is tight enough and you are useing the long prongs. Good luck.

Welcome to the forum. Your dog is testing you to see how much he can get away with. Every time you are letting him get away with NOT doing a command you are TRAINING him he does not have to do the command. Pick him up and put him back where he ignorned the command and make him do it. You have an e c...

Welcome to the forum. You didn't put where you live. By saying where you live you might be able to come up with a training partner who has access to birds and training grounds. Another idea is look for a NAVHDA club in your area. Thru them you would have access to training areas, birds, and help wit...

The 509 launchers have a drop down door where you can load the birds from the end. It has a hole that goes thru the door--Take some duct tape and tape that hole shut-- If you don't, quail can stick their head out that hole and when you launch them it will kill or cripple them since their head is ou...

I would google-- Montana sharptail utube hunting videos. Those videos should give you an idea into what type of cover you should hunt. I don't hunt Montana, but I've found sharptail in SW North Dakota, so I'm betting SE Montana will probably have them as well. Good luck in your hunt. I'm sure someon...

In Nebraska the most common hunting dog (pointing breed) is GSP. All the trials around here are mostly AKC so you don't see many pointers or setters running in them because most pointers and setters are registered American Field and run in American Field trials. In the AKC trials it is mostly GSP. A...

I don't think I would use poison around your pigeons or chickens--they will eat the same poison pellets or poison grain the rats will!

Welcome to the forum. From what I have read, you are getting a lot done with your lab. I'm a pure pointing dog guy, so I'm going to let the lab people on here answer your questions--but reading your info so far, it sounds like you are trying to train your pointing/flushing dog to be steady to wing/s...

It's really hard when they get old and start slipping away. I feel for you--I've been there and done that (too many times).

Looks like a lot of fun(and work). In your tailgate pictures, that one bird sure doesn't look like a chukar

I can't believe you found a mallad in that country

Very nice pictures--Thanks for sharing your hunt with us

About a 1/3 of the AKC hunt tests will also offer a water test. It is a pretty simple test. A dead duck is thrown out about 15 to 20 yards out into a pond with a shot fired. The handler and his dog are standing on the shore about 5 to 10 yards from the water(water has to be deep enough that the dog ...

In an AKC Junior title, the dog has to point at least 50% of it's birds. It can be a flash point(around a 3 sec point) and then take the bird out on it's own(doesn't have to wait for the handler to kick it up). It doesn't have to back another dog. It doesn't have to retrieve the bird. It doesn't hav...
