Hey...advice from right around the corner. Sounds like the walk as told by Julie Knutson. I will add it to the program. He was the small one in the litter and was struggling with our cold weather...

I have an 11 week old pup who will chase a thrown object with plenty of vigor. I’m happy about that and I’m not too hung up on the fact that he won’t bring it back just yet. He does return to me...

I don’t like to use hate but.…..I only “hate” the government unions that want my tax dollars to pay their unsustainable pensions. If a private sector union wants to be stupid with their money…more...

One quick pointed question. Initially, does Lardy use continuous pressure that the dog turns off or does he start with nicks?

Also, please pm if you’d rather not post. I have gotten some...

I'm new here so I'm not sure what this is about...but I would love to hear your thoughts. So far this forum seems like the overall tone is better than most, a skinning would surprise me.

If not I...

Thanks for the insight. That does explain a lot. However, have you seen the clip I'm talking about? The dog is told to sit, and sits...minutes later after he sat, the trainer repeats "sit" nick...

I know you get these a lot but here goes. I am hoping to make a more informed decision about what program to buy. I am looking at Smartworks, Lardy and Fowl Dog and Hillmann. My belief is the best...

As a total rookie I enjoy watching the videos with the little bumps in the road and seeing how they are handled. Seeing sheer perfection is fun but much is learned seeing you guys deal with the...

OK..it's 47, not 48. I point this out because I'm as old as the Super Bowl and often use it to remember how old I am...and you just scared the crap out of me.

Having said that...I like your Moss...

Have you guys had any issues with the new pups and the weather? Mine is only 7 weeks..a little small even for 7 wks and we have had a few days of real cold weather. ( 5-10 degrees with 20 mph winds)...

Well, there were actually 2 males for me to pick from. One was smaller than the other. I got the feeling that’s why he was left. After some baseless concerns about his size I picked him. (not time...

J_Brown..

I could have typed your post almost word for word. I too am new, am a hunter first (including upland) and currently have no plans to test…and will be getting my first lab very...

I know you guys are probably right...easier said than done sometimes.

Name? I have a wife and six kids. To get clearance for a dog that they will care for while I'm at work I had to sell the naming rights to them. I have veto power, but for now it's stuck in the...

What are your thoughts on picking a pup from a litter? What attributes can you observe and do they predict future behavior. How about hunting ability? Is that really a crap shoot?

If you...

I’m noticing in my short time here a lot of this board is about testing and I had a novice (maybe stupid) question about the tests. Back when I bought a pointing dog I ended up with one from Field...

Thanks..searching that on Amazon pulled up some related books.

Ha..no..nor am I a muppet. It evolved from the initials BK.

I’m looking for some recommended books on training a retriever for upland hunting. I’m investigating getting my first flusher, likely a lab, and want to read up on some training advice.
