Welcome to the forum. The good thing about being in SD, is you'll get the pup into a lot of wild birds his first year

Have you chosen a good breeder? Don't limit your search to local dogs. Seek out a club like NAVHDA for resources and help.

"The Perfect Start" DVD's available at Gun Dog Supply would be my recommendation. The techniques and order in which they are used almost makes training automatic. Not cheap but worth every penny. You can get the Perfect Start double dvd.set and also the Perfect Finish set for around $125. After your dog is trained, I'm sure you would have no trouble selling the set. I'll be getting my Llwellin pup soon and bought the set to review. 6 hours of video. Very impressive.

Stan Hagg in Iowa used to raise shorthairs. Anyone know if he's still around?
I pity the man that has never been loved by a dog!

Re: new to this website
I was told not to get anything that squeaks and not to ever play tug-o-war with the pup. I think I did both but in moderation

Re: new to this website
Deseeker thanks for the response I've trained dogs just not hunting so I know stuff like that and Gertie thanks I've read stuff about not playing tug a war but my uncles lab he used for waterfowl played and he never had a problem coming to the birds thank you both for the response
