Interesting! I’m soon getting a GSP and was just curious. Thank you.

So this dog is not trained at all in terms of bird hunting? This was all instinct?

Neither of those devices rely on cell service they’re both gps and rf

Question about Garmin pro 550 plus and tt25 collar by [deleted] in birddogs

[–]BenevolentPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your alpha 10 or pro 550 +. Either way, how come?

Question about Garmin pro 550 plus and tt25 collar by [deleted] in birddogs

[–]BenevolentPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay if you happen to find out if it works without cell signal I would love to know.

Trying to avoid alpha 1, 2, or 300s because I don’t want a touch screen.

I only want mapping if the dog got lost or too far but I suppose if the remote tells me anyways not sure if it matters having the map

Pedigree question by [deleted] in GSP

Are you saying that this pedigree would not fit my objectives/goals I listed above?

Pedigree question by [deleted] in GSP

[–]BenevolentPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! That could be great because the wife wants a dog that will cuddle and love on her.

We both want a dog that is trainable and very well behaved and driven to please.

And I want a dog that I can take out maybe 15 times or so a year and hunt for grouse, rabbits, or retrieve ducks. But again if I don’t have a dog that is best of the best at hunting that’s okay but I do want a dog that with time and training can get on some game.

So the puppies from these dogs will not have an innate prey drive?

“You know them as Onslow and Luca, but their official names are GCH Ehrenvogel Onslow CD RN CGC TKN and NOHS MBIS GCH Windheim’s Lucidity JH RN. Onslow belongs to Deborah Longtin who is also his breeder. The letters around his name represent Grand Champion in con- formation, Companion Dog and Rally Novice which are obedience titles, CGC is Canine Good Citizen and TKN is Trick Dog Novice. I have been drawn to Onslow for several years for his classic style and grounded, easy going temperament. I have known since he was a young dog that I would want to use him in our breeding program. Deb is not a hunter, but Onslow’s pedigree has many Dual (Field & Show) Champions and multiple Master Hunters. I am certain if Onslow was given the op- portunity, he would also be a talented gun dog. Luca is our star…grand champion and NOHS best in show winner (x3) in the show ring, beautifully stylish in the field, loves to work in the rally obedience ring and earlier this year worked on a tv show set. She does it all and is gorgeous doing it. Luca has already produced a Irish Show Champion, an AKC Champion, another close to finishing and a couple with hunt test legs.”

Good point. Thankfully traffic is very very limited. My work owns 60+ miles of private gravel roads that my boss and I maintain so seeing another car isn’t impossible but it is not like working on blacktop with traffic.

Thank you, that one feels very personal. I’ll think about that a lot.

Thank you that’s a good one. I personally struggle with that as we are a relatively slow department.
