RE: First Time Out with My GSP
one of the most important things for a young dog is to get them into as many birds as possible while they are young. The more the better if it means going to a preserve and paying for birds so be it. I've been lucky to live in an area that usually has alot of birds and it's been along time since i brought up a pup but my dogs are 10 and 6 now so it's time to start thinking about a pup.
another thing that makes a dog a huntin mach. is let him run down a couple of crippled birds that can still run (wild ones work best for this) they do that and it seems to increase there hunting drive 10x
