Can you send me your e-mail address, I've tried to PM you twice more to address your questions, but they are still sitting in my outbox. You can use the e-mail address in my profile.

That generally means that he has a full Inbox, and needs to delete some messages out of it

Nope....if they are in your outbox that means he has not picked them up yet....I stay at 100%

....So, I would email him and tell him to check his PM's

Put the dog questions and answers on the Forum, we can turn this into a sporting dog Forum, if we try.
I love the diversity.

I'll join in Cran!!
I'm working an 8 mo American Brittney and I'm having trouble getting her to point and hold. I've been working her on planted pigeons and on a check cord. She is birdy in that She hunt's them but wants to catch them. I can't seem to get her to stop and point. Occassionally I can slow her to a stopping point when we approach the bird but She wants to go on to catch. She's quick as a cat and I'm beginning to wonder if I should just leave the gun at home and let her catch all she can

I guess I'll just keep on working her and wait for something to click in her head.

Sir reel/Cran,
If you're looking for some training tips or general bird dog talk (as oppossed to general talk from Birddog-jk BD-we love your posts) I recomend you look at uplandjournal.com. There are many skilled trainers and breeders that post on that forum (they also have an interesting fly-fishing section). But you'll have to look past the fact they're mostly yankees from NE. If you go there you'll notice some posts from mshowman, my father, who is neither a trainer nor a breeder but has been working dilligently to develop his 2 year old llewellin setter.
Good luck with your Brittney SR, and tight lines this weekend to all (especially those headed to PSJ).
