Thread: First hunting dog

If you do not have the time to put into a dog, then you should think seriously about having one. They are going to be with you for hopefully 12 plus years...that is no small commitment... I do believe that every dog owner should have a back up plan...if personal circumstances change is there a plan for the dog's future should things really go pear shaped.

Most of us cannot be hunting our dogs all the time...what with work, family etc...so the dog we do have has to be of a temperament and conduct that will allow him to be part of everything that is going on because the nature of the beast dictates this.

I am personally not interested in cross bred dogs of any cross...but I am passionate about a gundog with prey drive that will take your breath away, beauty in its structure, conformation which will allow him to work as his breed was intended, to be amicable around the house, biddable and fun to be with.
