People who finish dogs and decide to 'special' them (for want of a better term) usually have them out with a professional handler and I am aware that this is...
I disagree with you Martha. An 18 month male dog not only can become a Champion, but can also acheive multiple titles. I know of 3 dogs/bitches that have...
I am sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but having your dogs shown or Specialed is NOT tax deductible and is considered as a hobby by the IRS standards. Only if...

Tina, Having that FC would certainly help placing the pups in field trial and hunting homes but I would not eliminate dogs just because they don't have an FC....

Judy, You make yourself perfectly clear. From my point of veiw a young dog isn't just mentally immature, he's also physically immature. But then the first...

Not being broke. Flush the bird and away they go! This happened to me at the Western. Or screwing up a callback. I saw a dog refuse to retrieve a pheasant at...
