    I didn't bother until the pup was ready, 6 months for the labradoodle and about 11 months for the vizsla. you know your dog judge it by its resilience. I used the moderated 410 at 40 yards then the 12 bore at 100 yards moving closer over time. used the starter pistol to drop to shot for the labradoodle but the vizsla drops to the flush so it negates the need

    Do the gundog club training courses a bit expensive but for a novice its really good, you and your dog will benefit so much there will be a class near you. www.thegundogclub.co.uk

    I hope they get a home and well done for taking them in. they look like spaniel x pointers. Definitely not munsterlanders

    Mark it would be interesting to see how you get on but try and get involved in a local German short haired pointer training group they cater for all breeds and you will meet a vast array of people with skills who can help. As well as this you could put him through the gundog clubs training classes I found them expensive but very useful. Just google it and they will have a local trainer. It just helps sometimes to have a network of dog people who can help

    Are the grouse not keepered over there? We are lucky in comparison I train my pointer on a local grouse moor and there are 100s of birds this year. its big business in this area

    Bloody hell mate you have picked a difficult breed to start off with! They are one of the most versatile breeds and they will do a lot more than a bit of retrieving they are very, very strong hunters. Rory major has a set of dvds for the hpr breeds and he shows a young bitch working a lot. Ive spoken to Rory and he rates them above all other dogs. Good luck

    Pretty much what I would take but I have a big camo poncho that doubles as a hide but folds into a little bag

    Pigeon shooting seems to be like carp fishing you can have a truck load of gear. My question is what is the very minimum of gear you take out with you?

    a good pair of muckboots are fine they may be a bit heavy but mine are comfortable. Just wear stuff that makes you waterproof but is light and comfortable. Who gives a toss what you look like and by the 5 th drive no one will care believe me. More chance of being too warm this week but you will get wet. A pair of waterproof gloves is a good buy and if your wearing boots a good pair of gaiters.a couple of bars of chocolate and a little bottle of water and your ready to go. .

    Ive seen this done on a horse when I was a kid

    about 10 minutes a day of structured training i.e. memory retrieves blinds etc. but every walk is a chance to do something even if its just heelwork. What I have found useful is that my vizsla follows my lurcher bitch everywhere at speed and getting him to drop to whistle even when he is super hyped up has worked a treat. But I would rather not train if I am in a bad mood or tired as its easy to make mistakes with a sensitive dog. And sometimes you just need time to have a sit and think about what to do next

    just Go and get a pup and get on with it. Unless your a very serious shooter or trialler it wont matter just bond with the pup and take your time training it. Just don't start it until you know its ready. Don't blow up your brain over thinking it. Good luck

    I know a few field trailers and they wont use their field trial dogs for work, working dogs learn to think,take short cuts and other bad habits!! its like sheepdog trials etc its all about the competition

    They are fine in kennels as long as they get a boat load of exercise and work, High energy dog needs to release its potential

    Depending on the weather we will be there on Sunday as well, its a very good show

    if they are reputable breeders they wont be knocked down. Your buying potential I never quibble on price its a one off capital investment on up to 10 years of a working friendship and sporting companionship. Its only money!

    get a meeting organised and sort the twats out I hate lazy people. On delivery day we had a member lift one crate and then put it down and stand about watching other people work! I wasn't there as I was getting my hair done that day but I would have gone off it

    I have used all sorts last year was neoprene wellies, which after a season on the grouse and then through rough forestry on the pheasant just about lasted. This year im going for meindl pro burmas and gaiters see how they go which had better be bloody good at £190 a pop. The wellies were warm and comfortable and surprisingly stable as I have a bad knee
