Perhaps he does this to gather scent ? Speculation ?

Thank You Average Guy,CJ & Mike (Irishwhistler) for adding. It's been 13 yrs since I had a puppy onboard and I could not remember how much is to much discipline with-out creating a negative. I have been on the correct course I feel after reading what you folks have added. The little pup is really co...

A little update on Axe. He is doing nicely . Crate train went with out a hitch and he lets me know when he has to go out . I have been working on recall pretty much since he arrived here. Nothing to heavy and he's doing well with that also . You folks that train pup's regularly how heavy would you g...

Pups lookin sharp. On sharing videos I upload to YouTube and then copy and paste the link here. People can click on the link and it takes them to video. That way you can share across any media you want. For example I can copy and paste the same link via a text on my phone and often do Average guy T...

AXE is looking good Chris.

Thank you Mike ! I will send you some short videos of our progress. I don’t know how to post them here or I would for all’s enjoyment !

Max2

Nice rig ! Why would you want to change up ? You could do everything with that . For me I hope to find a Cadillac Eldorado 1975- 1980 era. :D Serious those old rigs rode awesome and I really don't need 4-wheel drive to bird hunt in NY. Nothing pretty because the pup will ride up front with me. Then ...

A little Axe update ~ A couple nights ago I was on the phone at dusk looking out the back when I saw a woodcock flutter to the ground & start feeding . Coooool !! I thought. Fast forward to last night -Weather has been bad as of late with snow,freezing rain ,pouring rain .After dinner we walked outs...

She look's good ! Love to see her excitement on point and she kept it together . Look'n good !

Max2

Thank You ChrisW74 !
Trying to figure the picture thing !

Puppies do what they do ! In my opinion nothing more fun to watch. I always think how cool it is to watch them take it all in and process it. Especially those times when you could swear you can see the wheels spinning . Have fun and don't worry like everyone is saying it will happen . My little guy ...

Max2

Thank you Everyone ! Ray G you are not kidding ! I have been wanting to get back into this since my last pup's passing but sometimes I may think to much. After years of harassment from my mentor & friends as well as some on here I saw what I deemed an opportunity and went for it. The little guy is v...

Been 3 years since my last pup crossed the rainbow bridge. I still come here often and wanted to introduce Axe !

Max2

Happy Easter everyone !

Max2

Very sorry to hear of your loss of your little Lady .

Max2

Interesting for sure . I saw it being used and it kind of intrigued me . In the past I have worked recall with treats to start. My niece being much younger and getting into obedience and the agility game when asked claimed she has used it with good results. It makes sense to me and I also read somew...

Love it ! .. Starting the Fun stuff ..this guy loves the same . Not enough of this stuff on here . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utihYxAluP0&feature=youtu.be You folks have to get a like button over here ! :D To the o/p great thread topic ! Gosh I wish I could add something lord knows these creat...

Max2

Nice ! I see you were using a clicker. I am really thinking on giving one a go when I get my next pup. Have you used a clicker before ? If not what are your feeling ? Keep the videos coming ! Please -
Thank's !

Max2

Just what the Dr ordered. Really enjoyed that ! Beautiful pup & nice work ! Thank's for posting !

Max2

A number of years ago I was trying everything. I had tried running my dog with no bell just to see if I put up more grouse. My findings were that the sound of the bell had no effect that I could see. No more birds were flushed while running without a bell. I will always run with a bell. I just love ...

Max2

Good stuff !

Max2

Very nice !

Positive thoughts from NY !

Max2

Well..... I guess can I can agree with the original post :roll:
Thank's for bringing this light

Max2

Steve007 I agree with you 100% on getting another dog only I'm in tuff spot and feel it would not be fair to the animal to have one at this time . A couple yrs back( probably 10 now :D ) I introduced a friend - (un-known to me at the time) to the world of grouse & w/c. We became instant friends beca...

How do we post pic's folks ? I opened an imgur account the other day and tried to post a pic however all I could get it to do was post the url code. I wanted to preview the photo before posting but all I could see was the Url . I must be doing something wrong . Obviously I guess :D Any help would be...

Max2

Polmaise - After reading your post i had copied it and forwarded it to my niece. She & her husband got their first dog an Aussie . (They each had family dogs with your basic training growing up) So now its their turn. The first Aussie is doing great and has actually won a couple ribbons. They more r...

Counter surf was always unexceptable behavior .Being in the right place at the right time to correct it is key . Same with the garbage . If they sniffed at the garbage -correct if they try to stand on front door or counter-correction and I don't remember it being hard. For furniture just angle the c...

Nice looking pup !

Max2

Very nice !
Enjoyment for years to come !

Max2

You folks probably aren't awake yet but -Happy New Year to you and families ! Pup's included of course and anyone who feels they love their pups as much as I like reading on um. Please give them a big ole 2020 hug and a couple crackers from myself. Just a dogless- gundog enthusiast from NY !

Max2

While sitting on the coach at night I might try throwing an object that may be of interest to your pup and I bet she would get excited about it. Get her bringing it back and praise. Close quarter work like this may add interest. Sight chase is always there. Just have to tap into it. When you throw s...

Max2

Joe3232 Ticks are something you should always check as stated by NEhomer. Check your dog real good as well as your self. My vest never comes in the house and hangs in the garage-detached garage. I live in a heavy tick area and can't stand them. Once dog was checked I would strip down and check mysel...

Wishing everyone a Joyous Holiday Season !
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year !

Max2

Very nice ! Congratulations to the team !
Good stuff !

Max2

Thanks so much for the kind words Mike ! Truth be told if your posting I'm all in and look forward to seeing what great photo's and " tails" of two gundogs & others that you may be working with for that matter. Loved the last photo of two athletes ! Good stuff !

Max2

I hear ya Ray G , Nothing better then the times afield. For all of us who enjoy the mind clearing experience of the fall woods with our four legged counter part. Definite hope to get the feeling once again but for right now I'm in a tuff spot.

Max2

Thank you Mike ! Folks take photo's of your dogs especially as they get older. When they are young the camera is usually out all the time. As they age we may take them for granted. Not literally but we tend to say ~ " oh shoot I forgot the camera" for me right now it's all good as I have you folks t...

Max2

I bounce back and forth between this site and another site. What can I say I just love to follow these four legged athletes . As I signed out on the other site I read a post by someone who had just finished the last hunt of the year. With the post was a picture of their dog. Got me to thinking it ha...

Max2

Nice dog work everyone ! Good stuff !

Max2

Nice ! This would have been nice to catch the whole thing on video. So very cool ! Start to finish.

Pretty cool ! Thank's for sharing !

Max2

I agree with Sharon on this one and look forward to following along on this pup's journey.
Good stuff !

Max2

Nice looking pup ! Love them liver/roans ! Everytime I see a shorthair I feel related. & welcome to the site !

Max2

I really like that first pic ! It really reached out to me ! Beautiful pup's !

Max2

I was thinking the same as Ray G. Invite the kids also.

Max2

Nice ! To both you folks . I have had shorthairs and have always said I would like to get a setter however the further shorthairs become in my rear view mirror the more I miss having one around. That said I would love to rescue a setter as you have done. Good things to come for you my friend . Good ...

Max2

To the O/p sounds like things are coming together. Positive thoughts coming your way.

Nice to see a couple pups coming up also in this thread. Hope you guy's keep us informed with their progress.
Good stuff !

Max2

Everyone worries every year. Mother nature sure can be hard at times. My yard today was looking like spring with wildlife songbirds,deer,wood ducks , geese , squirrels yet freezing temps ,blowing snow and winter gray skies. All our snow is just about gone where ever the sun can work. Big piles are a...

If you scroll the second picture to cover the head and just expose the body and guess . She look's a little like a great dane.
