What's the point of no return on training a dog to hunt (GSP)
Posted on 4/10/15 at 6:24 pm

My GSP will be 2 this summer. Pretty sure the wife ruined his chances of being a hunter when he was a puppy... He displays the natural instinct to hunt, point, and he does retrieve but he is by no means ready to be taken to the feild. Anything I can do or is he now just a family pet that points at table scraps and dragonflies?

I would think if he is still showing instinct you could still work and train him - if not you could always get another one...

I have an idea.
I have 10 pups that are 4 days old. What you should do is keep him as the wife's dog and get a brand new puppy to train.

And just like that, Citica has a new best friend.

Great pups.

That not my first choice, with space and all but the wife would probably ruin that one too while I'm not home, just seeing if I can turn mine into more than a pet if time is dedicated. "Old dog new tricks" and what not
I have had a lot of people ask about my dog after seeing him... You got pictures?

Get a new wife.
Get dyslexics puppy.
Get more kills.

They are only 5 days old.

Hey could you save that Pams Party Line section of the paper for me before they piss and shite all over it? I think that's the one where she discusses which centerpiece you use for different occasions.
Got a wine party coming up soon and I don't want to look like some **** with a fruit bowl on my table.

You're too late for that last part.

Do yourself a favor and buy a GWP instead.

Not trading in the wife for a puppy.
Not doing all that forced regional training for a DD... Not really looking to potty train another dog before I get my kid out of diapers.
Just want to see if I can make my current one less of a lapdog and more of one I can bring to the camp or on one of those penned quail outfitters.

Talk that dog to the woods/ fields for walks. Get him into birds. Very few shorthairs are missing hunting drive and you can't beat it out of them.

Been good, busy with kids and work. Pirogue is not yet complete.

The one I have is a pet, don't really need him feild tested and certified like a MD cause I'm not breeding him.
