Well as the title states I have a new GSP. He is 8 months old given to me buy a breeder in the area. He didn't want him in his breeding stock because of the yellow eyes. He did have him out hunting this fall and seem to pick up on things fast but needs some basic training first. So far she has been a great dog very good personality. This is the first hunting dog I have owned and trained. I am working on the basic training on him right now and have trained 5 other dogs with great success. (come, sit, stay, heal) But they have all been just house dogs. No hunting.
I am looking for any information on some one I can talk to about field training for Pheasants, About the only thing I hunt here.
I know I don't want some one else to train him. And I don't want to spend 1000.00 to do it either. So I am looking for some good books or a trainer to help me out.
I live in the Quad Cities Iowa--Illinois border.
Thanks
Any info would be appreciated.
