God I’m gonna miss the little guy. He just turned a year and goes for a month so I’m hoping he dosent hate me when he comes back!!! Anyone have any experience sending a dog out? He needs to learn to be steady on shot and bring bird to hand. I’m hoping a month is max for him to be gone. Anyone...

One my dad shot

Ok guys just getting into pheasants and being from Pa I pretty much hunt farm raised birds. I hunt over my pointer now who is holding point great. I was using fiocchi golden pheasant 7.5 shot but they are no longer making that in 7.5. They make it in 6 shot but I’m not sure if that’s too large...

Oh ok yea this is my first dog. He does well listening. Not amazing but does ok so he will need some work no doubt

Yea guy said it could take longer but he’s hoping he can do it in about a month

So he dosent mind blood he will bite the crap out of them just won’t pick it up. He was shocked retrieving by a trainer and I’m being told he is basically taking it out on the birds now by biting them not retrieving them as the shock was caused by the bird

Beautiful pup congrats

Thank u this guy has kennels with dog runs. AC and heat. Dogs stay in basement. I’ve hunted at this guys preserve a few times guys super nice and seems to know what to do. Thing I liked was he hates to force fetch shows he has a heart!!!

So the more my pup hunts the more I think he is going to need force fetched. He refuses to pick birds up after being shot. So only issue I have is he has to go 4-6 weeks away from the family. Now I’m sure a lot are like suck it up but I truly feel bad. He’s a good dog who loves being with us...

So FF will be around a year old until he goes. So the trainer taught him how to hold point and gun work. Like so said by far I am no pro. My pup holds point very well but just won’t retrieve shot birds. He retrieves toys. Is him not retrieving birds too much for a 7 month old? Again I am brand...

Thanks guys for the responses. I am no pro and am simply looking for a hunting partner. He dosent have to be perfect but would like him to retrieve some. This guy told me a month to a month and a half. I will have to see if I can find some of his dogs but not same trainer I used originally
