    GSP Pup Barking

    Just curious how GSP's rank on the barking chart. This is our first, so we do not know. We have two Siberian Huskies. One hardly says a word unless we are playing or she is yelling at us. The other is a major talker. Our GSP pup (9 weeks old), seems to be a barker. A week and a half with...

    Quail for Training?

    I am looking at building a coop this spring to house birds for my training. This will be a first attempt at doing this. With that, a question that I have is what birds do you prefer for your dog training? I know many use Pigeons, I know Quail are used and there are other birds as well. When...

    Crate Training.......

    Well, we picked up our 9 week old GSP on Monday evening. We have crate trained dogs before, but this is our first GSP. The first time or two, she went right into the crate (with a little convincing from treats). Now, on the 2nd full day, she only goes half way in. I am going to take the bed...

    GSP, Lab, I Don't Know

    I love Labs, always have. I love everything about Labs. Then, when I started into upland, I kind of learned to love GSP's. I have hunted behind both, enjoy both equally. Now, we are looking for a pup and I am torn. I do do some waterfowl hunting as well, so I was thinking of the Lab...

    Browning Wood Upgrade

    Curious if anyone has upgraded their wood on any Browning shotgun in the past? I am really wanting a 725 Field, 20ga., 26" with grade V wood. Darn near impossible to find. So I was thinking of getting a regular 725 and then having the wood upgraded. Or, I go Silver Pigeon V. But, I am...

    To Dock or Not?

    As our Pheasant dog search continues, we are still between a Lab or a GSP. That being said, should we end up with a GSP, I am not sure that I want to dock the tail. I understand it may go against the grain when it comes to the breed and against tradition for an upland dog. I simply do not...

    Day Hunt Cost

    I've been looking around, more out of curiosity than anything, at various clubs and lodges across the country. In some instances, the answer is easy to find, in others it isn't. Therefore, I thought I'd propose the question to those here....... What do you believe the average rate is for a...

    Sporting Guns in the Field

    Just curious if anyone shoots a "sporting" model in the field, while hunting? There are a couple of Browning O/U's that I am looking at, but I am not sure about a sporting gun in the field. It do not worry about performance, I worry about the ported barrel and the noise that fellow hunters may...

    GSP or Lab?

    We will be looking for a new pup early next year and I have it narrowed down to either a GSP or a Lab. Growing up, I always loved Labs. As a waterfowl hunter, that love, admiration and appreciation only grew. I LOVE Labs! However, after Quail hunting in Arizona with a few guys who ran GSP's...

    Browning or Beretta?

    I have been a big Browning fan most of my life. I liked everything about them, from their waterfowl guns to the upland and clays guns. However, with the elimination of the 625, my thoughts are changing. I am not a big fan of the 725 series at all. It also seems as though they are more...

    Another WI Newbie......

    I just wanted to say hi. After looking through the different forum sections, reading threads and responses, I have to say....... This has to be one of the most social, friendly sites that I have seen. We moved to southern Wisconsin in February from Arizona due to a new job for the better...
