At 5 months just let her have fun and save training for yard work, if she is pointing and holding some at 5 months thats nothing to worry about.

It just takes time my newest pup took about three or four weeks to settle down in his crate meaning no whining,and he just started sleeping all night the past week or two and he is 4 months old.They can only go so long without messing when they are young, a rule of thumb is age in months plus one ho...

Nothing more dangerous than a pack of yappy ankle biters :D I very glad that you are all using prong type training aids to prevent dislocated shoulders. :roll: as well as taking the safety and well being of the fellow yuppies and suburbanites!! Yes there is a pack of run off's.... no telling what t...

Welcome, great looking dog there. Do you fish for the famed California monster bass that get fat on the put and take trout? Ezzy some people with larger and more powerful dogs than Brittany's and lap dogs sometimes need a pinch collar to avoid injury to ourselves if a dog should happen to lunge. Th...

Good looking dog have fun with him but be warned this bird dog stuff can get addictive, I agree with ezzy there are better collars, if you have not looked at leather pinch collars you might want to give them a glance.But i would never leave ANY pinch type collar on a dog if i was not on the other en...

I am finding few today will make the commitment of time, nor have the resources to train and maintain a pointing dog. I tell most to get a Lab out of local hunting stock, and I have never even owned a Lab. After they learn "stay" and"here" they are ready to go hunting for upland or waterfowl. The o...

Maybe you could attend an event like a hunt tests,ft or nstra event i am sure there would be something close to you to watch.

Congrat's, He looks good !

That is great we need the youth to understand why we love being in the field with dog's, It was not until this past year at the age of 35 that i finally was able to hunt some wild quail.You may have gave some of them the bird dog flu

Good looking pup and have fun !

If you plan on training him yourself get a source for pigeons or get a coop started NOW !! And some remote bird launchers.

Was the hunt over wild birds?

I would say 400-600 is the norm.

...i will check around my area and see who i can find. The GREAT thing about this www "thingy" is that your "area" is not limited to what is near you. I have designed for people all over the country. Some I have never personally met. So you do graphic design then? If so you can take the pic in your...

If the pup is birdy i would not let her catch any but let her chase, if she needed to catch the bird to bring her drive up i would think that would be ok but even at her age i would wait and see where she was at around a year old.

Go to a graphic designer FIRST then work with them to get the vinyl cut. If you go to a printer first, you will get what you pay for (or not) ... usually they are NOT designers. If it doesn't LOOK right first, it is not going to look good no matter how you print it - on vinyl, magnet, banner, paper...

Munster where did you have that made? I want to have one made with a britt pointing and a covey of quail flushing with lettering over the top that says i would rather be chasing birds.

Good looking pup and standing from a good distance at a young age very nice.

With me I teach the dogs that they can not go through a door to the outside unless i tell them they can it is fairly easy to teach and it makes life much easier,house manners should be enforced from day one with the pup.

if it is a safe spot i would let him explore say nothing and just follow, you want pointing dogs to go go go that's how they find birds and you do not want to try and control that just let him be a pup.If you are letting him explore in areas that a cc will not get hung up on stuff that's fine but at...

Most important thing you can do right now is not keep the dog a secret. You need to have everyone in the family on the same page before you bring the dog home..

You are going to need more than one size or one that has dividers to accommodate the pup as he/she grows.You want one that the pup has just enough room to stand up and turn around in, In my experience once they are fully crate trained they can be in a over sized crate and not mess in it but that is ...

Yes, but I won't do it, and will correct a dog for trying it on his own. I have found it better to have the dog hit the birds hard and hold them in place. If they must relocate, do it even faster. Some birds will flush wild, enough will hold if you are quiet enough and the dog fast enough. I see th...
