I took my ES to a local guy once a week to work with a group. When she was 14 months I left her with him for what was supposed to be 5-8 weeks ($395/month. I went down after 3-1/2 weeks to check her progress. We went into the field and he had done wonders ...whoa, honor, steady to wing and shot. I asked "what's next" and he said, take her home, she's ready to hunt. She is also a pet and blended right back into our family. He's near Bowling Green, OH, so quite a ways for you but let me know if you want his email.

Get a well-bred English Setter. It will train itself.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Good Dogwork and Good Hunting
