Kinda excited about this young guy. Only 11 months old in this video. I have not started any formal whoa training - just letting him run, point and chase. Near the end of the video you can see him sucking in the scent. Glad I had the camera rolling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHSQ7R78U90&list=UU...

Mine filled in right away. I run against some setters that have very fine coats and rarely need to be shaved.

#10 blade everywhere except the tail flag and a little behind the front legs. We train through the summer so they get clipped around 4x per year. http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/blairgs/20140518small_zpsdb6881e3.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/blairgs/2013-05-16_19-58-26_866_zp...

Thx...I especially enjoy introducing new people to trialing. We had numerous NEW handlers this past weekend. MANY derbies that had short tails :) We ran, Setters, Pointers, Red Setters, a GSP, a Wirehair, a French Brit - and they ALL had fun! We used to run a Jr. Handler stake, but now many of those...

... pointer tails can be wicked with kids and even for some adults. So, that can entail a little more supervision in closer quarters in particular. If you feel wagging/whipping tails can be "wicked" - that is not a breed issue (pointers) because that is ANY long tailed breed...(lab, chessie, pointe...

IMO the smaller stake is plenty. Why waste time and effort pounding longer stakes if you don't need to. You can always replace the chain or clips if you want something different/longer, I'd go w smaller.

That is a good looking dog Thx Don. She was too smart for trialing...had to sell her. Couldn't trust her ;) MGIII here are two setters and a pointer.

No. There are plenty of walking field trials - especially in the northeast. Grouse trials, NBHA or US Complete...those are all walking. Be forewarned, you may catch the bug and "want" a horse. But NO...trials do not require a horse!

...if you're talking to the dog be quiet. That'll cause flagging as quick as anything. Odd thing is that my setter (3 yrs old) will flag a bit if we are far away from each other. As soon as he hears me singing or wooopin' he will tighten up. I believe older dog flagging is man-made. If this dog is ...

Go early and run the pup on sharptails and huns. Those early young birds will hold and are great for dog exposure. Opener this year is Set. 13th.
