Choosing High Quality Bird Hunting Dogs
from:For those who enjoy hunting and taking their best bird hunting dogs with them, where to hunt is always an issue in crowded areas or during particular times of the year or seasons. Advertisements galore offer wild game habitats where an ongoing wildlife management practice is enforced to maintain the population of big and small game species. And if a dedicated hunter signs up with a commercial outfitter operation, usually generous bag limits, and large numbers of private land offer more of a change of success with a person's bird hunting dogs.
The type of bird hunting dogs that are chosen to use or purchase will depend a lot on what type of bird a person enjoys to hunt, and choosing a highly trained hunting and gun dog is very important to "when that person hunts successfully." Additionally, knowing the environment your new dog will be in at home will help this decision to be made also—will the dog be kept outside in the natural elements, or will it be inside or in a warmed kennel? Will there be more than one in the kennel, or will it be by itself in its own kennel? Will it have a large kennel run for exercise, or will it rely on its owner for walking or some alternative form of exercise? Many experienced hunters keep their bird hunting dogs acclimatized to the same atmosphere they hunt in at all times.
There are the many types of bird hunting dogs in regard to their levels of individual training—raw puppies with no training, young dogs with some early training, finished or broke hunting dogs, and Field Trial Dogs. It is said that gun dogs can be purchased at any time during their gun training, but it is very important on this level to look for high-quality bird hunting dogs that are good with the specific bird-type they are built to hunt for. If the new dog is bred from a Quality Field Championship line, it can be expected to hunt upland game birds, compete in field trials at Local levels, Regional levels, and National levels.
Or…a person can buy his bird-hunting dogs as puppies, and train it by themselves. It is a step-by-step process: buy it right, start it right, retrieve training needs to be done right, point training needs to be done right—this whole process will in turn teach the bird hunting dogs to be "steady to wing and shot," according to professional dog trainer, Kenneth C. Roebuck in his book, Gun-Dog Training Pointing Dogs.
