CO_Weimar, where did you get the birds and where did you place them? I'd love to do that for some training help with my GSP. She's 3 but we have never been lucky enough to get her into birds...

My wife is the one who got me started in all of this.
We had gotten Dakota as companion, then discovered that he was into birds. She said "Looks like you've got yourself a bird dog!" At that point I said "So, now what???" :laugh:We really enjoy the dogs, and I am glad that this is something that we can do together. Blitz is her pup, and she has really been working with him. Very proud of them both. She isn't much into hunting herself, needs to work on shooting, but she is always ready to go train or tag along when we go hunting.
We get our birds from Steve Secor at Field Trial Game Birds, Steve is just north of Cobb, and now has a website. http://www.fieldtrialgamebirds.net/Contact-Us.html
Steve is a good guy, and I have done business with him for a few years. He has ducks, chukar and pheasant. This time we released birds on the south end of Cobb between the two parking areas. I like the north east corner a bit better, but it was a busy day out there on Sunday.
We have bought quail from Ron Oakleaf at ??? Cobb Lake Game Birds. Ron has a smaller operation and usually only carries quail outside of hunting season the last time that I checked. Ron is on the east side of Cobb, his place has the bird dog on the mail box.
Blitz is a crazy boy ... he has that crazy look most of the time. LOL. He is turning into a fine young dog, but he is a handful! :laugh:

You must have a permit from CDWP to release birds at Cobb lake....the permit can also be used at Banner Lakes.

As UH said, you need to have a release permit for Cobb. Easy to get. We have it though the Mile High Weimaraner Club for training events and tests. I always put a copy with my insurance and proof of registration. CDW makes frequent stops and checks up there as well. My first time out doing group training prior to a test, I forgot my paperwork. Fortunately, the CDW officer who stopped in to check on us was also the same person that I had been talking with to make arrangements for a field trial. Anyhow, I put my release permit in my visor so that I don't have to remember to bring it.

Very nice!!! I love the look in his eyes as well. I have seen it many times. I love the look in the field and not so much in the house.
Cant wait to get the pups together. maybe after the first of the year. We are meeting Ben next week for some training tips and he wants to check in on the pup.
