Good job, nothing like hunting over a bird dog. Nice looking pup..! Who is she out of. (Blood lines)

Hi, all. (gthudspeth post)This is an acceptable method to start a pup (not a gun-shy mature dog) on gun breaking, but not the way I do it. I don't want to step on anyone’s toes so forgive me if I do. Most of what I have read in this post has never helped a dog as far as I know. Some people truly just get lucky. Dogs are so resilient that many can “survive” and overcome some of the not so correct techniques that are used. I have dealt with many man-caused gun-shy dogs. Yes, most, if not all, are man-caused. Good dog breeders have removed most of the dogs with potentially genetic issues from the gene pool, but some traits still exist. Gun-shyness can be corrected in most cases. Since no two dogs are alike, and neither are the underlying causes or the severity of the problem there is not just one simple answer. I’d be willing to help you. If you are interested, email me in private. bkgspe

This time of the year I try to get out two or three days a week.

Gsp are what I started with, now I hunt over all breads. Have fun on your hunt. I hope to get out Friday.

Hi, all. This is my first try attempt to post on this forum. (Please be kind) How many of you hunt (birds) with dogs?
