Thanks so much for the help guys. I already have the "Green Book" on order.
The pup, "Chester", is already doing well with basic obedience - sit, stay, come, fetch - as well as having been on both wild and pen raised birds (quail and woodcock). I plan to begin trapping pigeons for training this week.
Some that worries me a little is that he doesn't seem to want to point, however, on Sunday he had two beautiful stone-cold points - on cottontails. Understandably this was a bit disconcerting but I was happy to see nice points albeit on the wrong quarry.
I have been considering sending him to a trainer for a month or so due to my lack of both time and experience. Do any of you have opinions on this? Do any of you know of good trainers in the East Tennessee/Western North Carolina/North Georgia area?
