    Pointing Labs

    Central Illinois. Great kennel, did a lot of research and talked with a number of people before going to Cooperstown 7 years ago. It's why I went back too.

    Pointing Labs

    The dog in my avatar is a daughter of Teddy from Cooperstown Kennels. Didn't point the first couple of years, doing better now (due to the lack of a good trainer, me). Great flusher and hasn't lost a bird yet. Picked up a granddaughter of Teddy in March, won't be hunting this year, not steady...

    Kuiu vest

    If I'm not mistaken, I think Marsupial will "make" a Velcro shell pouch if you request it, for additional $'s. I think they do it for people with physical limitations. You should call, they have great customer support.

    Kuiu vest

    Recommend the Marsupial Upland Vest. Tried it on in person back in January when I was in Phoenix for work, waited for their July 4th sale, $288 with the sale, very comfortable, made well, able to modify easily. Great customer service!

    20ga or 12ga for upland birds

    I started using a 20 gauge (Stevens O/U 555e) about 4 years ago. Mostly due to weight of the gun. I haven't noticed any additional cripples using a smaller gauge shotgun from my 12 gauge 870 Wing master. Plus I have a dog that has only not found one bird the past 5 years. Actually I think...

    Dogs over 10

    Thumb's Up on the Dasuquin...give it to my 6 yr old YLF. She had double TPLO surgery when she was 3.

    Looking for a New O/U

    Stevens 550e has been a great gun for me. Lightweight for easy carrying. Good price point. Good, solid gun for the past 3 years for me.

    Vest suggestions

    I'm looking as well. Down to between the Kuiu (out of stock, https://www.kuiu.com/products/upland-field-vest-blaze-orange?variant=43394203975838) and Marsupial (https://www.marsupialgear.com/products/upland-vest). Thoughts on both?

    Needing another lab!!!

    One of Teddy's offsprings is in my photo, Sookie 6 yr old (next month) YLF. Unbelievable family dog and hunting dog. Hasn't failed to find/bring back any of our downed birds. Could even be better if she had a better trainer (me). :) We'll be getting another pup in the next 6 months from...
