I train and or fix all breed bird dogs and retrievers
Dont know many bird dog boys there, all retriever guys, sorry...will keep an ear oen, if i can be of assistance let me know, I do everything from fixing to start to finish. thanks Jonesy
I would recommend Bill Tarrant/Delmar Smith book which is considered the bible of modern methods. Another would be Paul Long's book. I would not use West's book.
Get out to different field trials venues. They have people always willing to share information.
It is your Dog do what you like just make sure YOU GET THE DOG IN BIRDS
not someone else.
NO PRESSURE NO RESPONSE
let the dog get into birds
Then next seasom have the dog trained by someone who will get the dog in birds
end of advice
