I have a gsp of 18months old he is a falconry dog so I have never trained him to retrieve but I have recantly got my shotgun license so I wanted to see how he is with guns so I took him to my local shoot to stand behind the gun line to see how he was.

He is now the best dog on a days shooting. He will find any bird runner or dead and pick it up and bring it straight in. What I find very good is that if th

tack her down in weight half an oz at a time untill she is responsive to you all of the time as soon as your glove goes up she should be on her way if she is hunting at that weight then when you bring her down she will try harder more offften than not giving her more sucess. you can then after a few weeks start building her weight up aggain but aggain half oz at a time untill she messes you arround aggain you then know that thhat is your limmit for a little while

i have two half wild polcats tteh came about bu a wild polcat getting into the huch and the captive jills getting pregnant. the fur is definate much darker than any other ferret i have evr bred berfore and also the face mask is much more pronounced. one thing i do notace is whenever you give them food in the mornig they will take it and stash it in there nest box emidiatly whilst the other ferrets we have will eat it where they are. they are very forward and not to warey but they have had a huge amount of handaling since ther were kits. i have also found that when i worke the half wild po

i think hooding a harris is uncessary but if uyou wantbto carry on hooding her then spending time with her on the glove in front of the telly with the hood next to her and occasionaly slipping it on and off very slowly is the way to do it i would not do the braces up when you are taking on and off but also stroke her with the hood make as comfortable with the hood as posible
-
