    2023 Season

    Winnie really worked this bird this last weekend. He was trying to give her the slip for about 2-3 minutes. She got him up about 15 yards away and down her went. The happiness a dog has when they get to retrieve a bird to hand is simply amazing.

    Franchi Instinct

    Anyone have thoughts or comments on the franchi instinct? I shouldered both the 20 and 16ga over the weekend and liked the feel of them. I know you can get the receiver in either steel or aluminum. I also read a few websites where I saw some concern over an auto safety feature.

    Flushing Lab Distance Control

    I have a 1 year old flushing lab that is very high energy and has a great nose on her. In the field she will quarter nicely but sometimes she will pick up on a scent and run way off following it. I have been working on whistle sit with her and she does decent obedience wise until her...
