Hello & welcome fellow NY er's ,
Were from the leather stocking region of NY. We were out your way a couple weeks ago. Good luck and enjoy your new GSP.I also have a GSP.

Max2

I had been following this thread . Glad you got him !

Max2

I was just going to post a similar thread but lets go with your's.

I wanted to ask if many from NY were planing on getting out for opening day? With their dog's of course. As our season draws close. But since this is the internet how about anywhere. Who's plan's on going ?

Max2

Hello adelaide lee & welcome,
what type of pup dp you have ?

Max2

Hey & welcome.
I don't know much on the subject of training with a springer as I have a GSP but you have come to the right place as I am sure there are some folks with some helpful info here to off help & tips for you.

Max2

Usability, reliability, customer service, battery life, charge time. IMO I could not disagree with this post anymore. I once owned a Tri-tronics field 70 and had nothing but problems with it. Usability stunk ! reliability was no good, customer service was the worst to deal with. I finaly traded it ...

Max2

Nice looking pup ! Lot's of luck & enjoy !

Max2

I leave the dog in the truck and go in and talk to anyone & everyone and then when it's our turn I go and get him and bring him in. Rather then deal with cat's & dog's and people with the pup in a confined environment. Less stressful for me !

Max2

Sounds like a GSP might fit the bill ! But don't go by what I say as I am a GSP owner !

I at one time hunted primarily archery deer . Now it's all about hunting with my dog .

Can be very addicting so be ready with which ever breed you choose. Good Luck & lot's of research !

Max2

I just read about this on another web-site and felt it worth posting. I googled it for NYS and it is here. Something to read. http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/mans-best-friend/2011/08/blue-green-algae-blooms-threaten-gun-dog-lives This hits home for me as I just started swim lessons with my dog l...

Max2

I wouldn't be concerned at all . It's no different then your coop. IMO

Max2

I am currently putting an addtion on Max's kennel for those days when he can not come with me. Being in construction he comes with me most every day. This is for those day's when it is impossible for him to come with me. I do plan on heat & a/c as well as a ceiling fan. Yes & though from NY I am not...

Max2

For me what makes for a good season is no injuries ! These little athletes give their hearts out for us !
I do a lot of miss'n so I can't say any thing about total's !

Max2

To this day the friend who got me into birddogs . Will say to me . " do you remember that time Jax pointed what we thought was a pheasent in the middle of a huge field but turned out to be a grouse. We were crossing the field to go to more cover. Jax started to make game. Bang on point , I started t...

Max2

Max & I are the team. We hunt most every day of the season. Woodcock & grouse are what we hunt. Once in a while the folk's that got me into bird dogs will come for hunt visit. Which for me is very enjoyable . Were fortunate to live where we hunt.

Max2

Talk about a very smart dog!

You think he's smart now ................ Just wait !

Max2

There's nothing these little guy's can't do if they put their mind to it !

There is a ton of good cover in NY much closer and arguably better than the 'dacks. Send me a pm if you'd like.

I have to agree with you on the cover and I enjoyed reading the blog you have posted. Very nice job you did !

Max2

Beautiul pictures !

Max2

IMO it does not matter when you get him as long as the time is right for you and your schedule. Dogs are a long term commitment. I am a stickler for research of the dog I will get. I also like to get them at 7 wks old. If you do get a pup at seven wks let him/her be a puppy.
Good Luck !

Max2

After watching bird dog challenge on TV & frequenting these web-sites I wondered how to get started competing in say field trial's ? A lot of you folks do it. I myself am not a competetive person but I have to say it looks like the dogs thoroughly are enjoying them selves. For me that's what it is a...

The contacts posted are good prospects. The best way to get the dog you want is to KNOW that the patents ACTUALLY hunt the game you will be hunting - don't take someon's word for it. GO AND SEE the parents or at least the dam HUNT. Now is a good time to get on some grouse don't know where they will...

Max2

Between the number of posts & PM's it makes for a very interesting thread. Thank you everyone for your input.

Max2

Welcome, I am pretty new here also. When I got into birddogs it was because a friend had invited me to hunt with him and his bird dog. After that one time I was hooked and that was 1996. Luckily my friend really helped me to get invloved. Reccomended a breeder as well as helped me to train my first ...

I totaly agree with you Max always seems to calm himself when he hears the theme song from " hunting with hank"

It's one of his favorites .

Max2

Welcome,
Just a warning once you start bird hunting with a dog it can become very addictive .

Max2

Nice pic's !
Beautiful Pup !

Max2

Hey & welcome,
Were new here also and have really been enjoying all the threads . I have hunted deer many times in your state but unfortunetly never brought my pup out with me

Welcome & you sound as though your here for the same reasons I am !

I find this to be a pretty cool site.
I also am new.

Max2

There are a lot of gamebird growers here in NY.
Try this website as they list gamebird breeders in all states. Might be one in your neighborhood.
You could buy some quail for training.

I guess choice of gauge first. Determined by game to be hunted. For me I have to say next step how the gun feels when you throw it up & does it fits me. Here where I hunt it's a lot of swamps and hillsides so lighter is better.... for me. ( Plus I am an ole timer) :D I must say that I wonder if the ...
