Perfect start/perfect finish is a great program to use, BUT be aware you have to have access to a very large number of pigeons(plus a couple of launchers) if you are going to start & finish the dog.

deseeker

Sam-- Pigeons work best because the dog can't catch them like they do pen raised quail. Your wild quail will also teach the dog he can't catch them. You can shoot a few pen raised quail as you go to teach the dog she can get her mouth on them ONLY with you help. Your pigeons will return and you can ...

How old a pup

And what do you want it to learn?? I wouldn't think of sending away a pup for anything unless it was over 6 months old. Or are you after bird introduction & gun introduction or

glad you got some shootin' -- sounds like a lot of work, but it paid off. I bet the dogs slept most of the way home

Down the road, if you decide you want to do this breeding--tell the female owner to get a burcellois (sp) test, it is rare in dogs(more common to cattle and Bison) but it does happen. If his dog does have it and gives it to your dog, yours will be useless for breeding in the future. That might be a ...

Here's a trick you can get a pup to use his nose--even at 8 weeks old. Your pup knows what his food smells like--take 10 or 12 kibbles outside and put them into a pile in the grass so he can't see them. Take the pup down wind of the food and walk him perpendicular to the wind starting about 15 feet ...

ISO - I have to come down with Gonehuntin' on this one. These dogs are born and bred to hunt and find birds. It is much more than a "job" for them...it is what they live and breathe for. They live for the moment and IN the moment. They would be perfectly OK with hunting until their heart burst. WE ...

I agree with Sharon--to many dogs and too many guns. For the first year hunt your dog by himself with just you and maybe 1 friend. Limit your shots to 1 or 2 per bird. After he has a season under his collar, then you can start the big party hunts. You did right putting him in his kennel when it star...

I'm with everyone else--hold off on the 2nd dog until the first on is completely trained. I used to space my dogs about 3 years apart--that way I have one old dog, 2 hard hunting dogs, and 1 pup just learning. :D This worked well for me in the past, but I'm getting old, so I'm spacing my dogs about ...

Since your pup is young and you are going to use the perfect start/perfect finish training, start a pigeon coop now, that way you will have good flying homing birds to train with when you pup is older. Perfect start/perfect finish uses a TON of pigeons for training your pup--if you have watched the ...

A black nose or black in the coat will be a French Brittany. American britts will have brown or pinkish noses and no Black in their coats or noses. American britts will be white/orange or white/liver or a few tri color white/liver/orange (no black). The coat pattern you are talking about is a roan p...

When you start to hunt the pup, to start with just go by yourself or with 1 friend. Just fire 1 or 2 shots at a bird---NO large barges of shots at a bird. A large group all firing at a bird or a big barge of shots can spook a young dog that is just getting use to guns. Take it slow and keep your num...

You don't seem to understand that every time a dog refuses a COMMAND, the dog has BEATEN and DEFIED you. I would stop the force, hunt her and simply not tell her to fetch or hold. Let her do what she does naturaly and correct it in the spring. I agree with this. Hunt her this Fall and fix it in the...

Go to the website for Nebraska Game & Parks. On the website go to the walk in atlas--it's a map of all the places in the state that are open to the public for hunting. Highest concentration of pheasants with the most amount of walk ins will be SW corner of the state below the pan handle. Highest con...

I talked to my insurance agent back in the 90s to see what it would cost for life and theft insurance on my avatar dog. He said it would run 10% the value of the dog (OR HIGHER) per year. He said there was too many things that could happen to a dog(high risk) and they only live approx. 10 years so t...

The walking derby will only be on 1 of the 3 days--you won't know which day until the premium comes out about a month ahead of the event.

I guess I should have added that my dog just turned a year old. She is currently with a trainer in Colorado. He said she is definitely ready to run Derby.

I like my DT 509 launchers as well(I have 2 & my buddy has 2 DT 509s as well). I like the door on the end to load the bird in the launcher and I like the batteries being 9 volt.
