All the pups now have their eyes open. They are gaining weight nicely. The sole female has seemed to quickly win the hearts of all of us. She was the first to open her eyes, the first to...

Swack,
I tried that pedigree site and just can't get it right. I registered and entered Brandy's name and then tried to enter her gender and it sends me back to register or log-in. I've tried...

Swack,
I would like to know what behavioral Britsh traits you are wanting to overcome in your new litter and why.

Dang you guys can make a guy feel ignorant! I always thought you bred a good dog with a good dog and it was a crap shoot after that! Do you all know of another furom where the not so intelligent...

Swack,
I would like to know which of your dogs call name is Tess. I sent you a message on your website. I really like the stud you have picked, but I can't find Tess' pedigree. I have had...

Rick,

The story behind that pup goes like this. When I was around 13 I decided that I wanted to get my own pup. My Grandfather and Dad mostly hunted behind setters. I watched our local...

Tony,
It is always a pleasure to read your responses.

My passions are fishing and hunting. My Dad introduced me to these at a very early age. One of the very first dogs I got to walk behind...

In my reading of retrievers I've read where the back cast seems to be the hardest for a dog to get. With that in mind and from what I read, I worked ALOT of back casts along with a few overs. When...

I've got to ask, if that is an unknowing and uncaring dude---what about someone that introduces cannon fire to pups much younger than this? What was the guy doing other than teaching a pup to stay...

Hello Fellas,
It has been a great while since I have posted here but I can't help but put in my two cents on this subject. I am by no means a great trainer of dogs but I have had some good dogs in...

It will keep your female in but it won't keep the neighbors male dog out

I am sorry to hear about your pup. My prayers and thoughts are with you. I know the how attached we get with these---members of our families. I hope she has a turn for the better. Keep us updated...
