RE: Thinkin about gettin a bird dog...
I would agree with Mite. I'll add, training starts right a way. Sit, stay, heel, & here should be introduced. Keep training sessions small, 15 minutes or a few reps. The pups need a break. Try to talk with a trainer in your area. I've found most are willing to help with information. They should be able to give you a timeline of training. Good luck...
