    As said (and most likely not what to hear) a dog is somewhat of a long term commitment. As an example we have a pointer (did have 3) and live in town. The need a good off lead run in a safe place...

    I put in the full 12 months on the blueprint with my dog in central Auckland. It requires daily training and discipline in handling. It is not a family friendly program - all my mates have had...

    Dogs need regular exercise and indicator dogs need regular work or they go off the boil, six weeks is too long between jobs. It would take a while each hunt to get back in the groove unless it had...

    To be honest of your only getting out once every 6 weeks I wouldn't try to train up a indicating dog. You'll most likely just end up with a pet you don't actually take hunting at all as it's more...

    The kaimais is a bitch of a place to close-hunt red's. The reason for that is nothing short of the fact that several thousand people go through there every week including school trips, mum's...

    In my experience an indication a deer is reasonably close is a barking noise lol. Although catching up with it is another story.
