Too Early To Start
by: David Krassler

This month I would like to address a question that I have been asked on numerous occasions. The all too famous questions: "When is a good time to start training a young dog?" (Read...)

Cockers on the Coast
by: Barbara Haupt

D uring the past 12 months, our cockers retrieved a substantial number of upland birds; a multitude of ducks; two hare; and one insolent, crow. This bounty - except for the crow - went to our freezer, and eventually to our table. We don’t eat the socks, pot holders, cloth napkins, firewood, spent shells, and shot wads they retrieve without being asked; we forgive them for that. They are irrepressible clowns, and ours often get away with some things they shouldn’t because we’re laughing too hard to discipline them. They are our dogs for all seasons.(Read...)

Wingshooting Wisdom 102: Choke Constriction Choices
by: Bill Hanus

Back when the world was young, shotgun shells were loaded with chilled shot, which deformed easily so that even though a gun might be "necked down like a rifle" it still threw a pattern larger than what we understand "Full" choke to be today...(Read...)

Pointing Dog Pointers
by: Dave Hughes

Like many sportsmen and sportswomen, I find few sights as breathtaking as a dog on point. I’ve been fortunate to make a living out of training pointing dogs for hunters and to compete in pointing dog competitions (or field trials, as they’re called). Contrary to what many believe, field trial dogs are highly trained—but the training must be done properly. Trial dogs must be trained in such a way that they still retain their enthusiasm and style.

Keeping Them Cool
by: R. Michael DiLullo

Keeping your hunting dog cool and hydrated, especially during late summer training and the early portion of the hunting season, means recognizing the signs of heat-related illnesses, knowing how to prevent them and what to do if your dog succumbs.(Read...)

A Rough Shooting Spaniel
by: R. Michael DiLullo

“Dear to me for his stout heart, faith in me, and an absorbing devotion to the gun.” This line from Nash Buckingham’s essay “Not Unsung” in his classic book “Tattered Coat” about his Springer “Chub,” has for me, always summed-up the essence of the English springer spaniel.(Read...)

Breeding World Class Gundogs
by: Geoffrey A. English

I am often reminded of how much time and effort goes into building a successful breeding program when examining the pedigrees of the top performing dogs at local and national field trials. Field trials have been and will continue to be a place breeders turn to evaluate and prove their breeding program and bloodlines.

Feeding The Gestating And Lactating Dog
by: Gail Kuhlman, Ph.D., P.A.S.

There are many factors which need to be considered when achieving optimal breeding performance. These factors include: genetics, health, environment, management and the feeding of a proper diet. Breeders can screen animals for genetic faults and abnormalities. Prior to breeding, a physical examination should be given. Environmental and management factors should be chosen to be conductive for optimal reproductive performance. The feeding of a proper diet for the reproducing animal begins during their growth and development period and should continue throughout mating, gestation and lactation.(Read...)

Etch-Marc Max 5000
Whether you’re pressed for time and/or training partners the Max 5000 is a tool that professionals and amateurs alike will find as a valuable training aid.
The Max 5000 can be set up in seconds and launches five bumpers without being reloaded – a real timesaver when compared to traditional bird launchers. From the first shot of the Max 5000, you can’t help but notice this is no ordinary remote launcher – even the propane shot used to propel the dummy sounds like a real shotgun blast. The Max 5000 launches highly visible black and white dummies that “wobble” in a near perfect arc that gives dogs a good look at the mark.
