Hi Colin,

I have a 3.5 month old Lab. He doesn't have any experience with birds yet. I have never trained a retriever so I am looking at joining a group for guidance. Would this be a good fit for me?

I think it'd be a great fit. Like any type of volunteer run organization there are lots of people willing and able to help guide you it all depends on how you express your interest. Come on out and ask as many questions you can. I think some folks are warry of coming off as anyoying but I can tell you there's nothing dog poeple love talking about more than dogs!!!

We will have dead ducks and I could bring down a live bird of your dogs ready for an intro to live birds.

The best way to decide if it's a good fit is to come on out!!! We'd be happy to meet you and your dog!!!

Training Day will be re-scheduled due to the snow. Should be either the 17th or 24th depending on the weather. I'll post back up when we have an idea of what the weather will be like.

Thanks,

Colin

Awesome! I'll plan to join you guys. I'm just doing some basic obedience training with my pup right now. I really have no idea on how to turn him into a hunting dog so i'd love to learn from you guys.

How do you train with live ducks? I'd love to see what my pup does.

Rescheduled? Bunch of crap, I arranged my whole week around this....

LOL sorry just too much snow on the ground and not really conducive to training.

Colin · « **Reply #21 on:** February 06, 2019, 12:58:57 PM »

Date for reschedule is set for Sunday Feb. 24th. Same place and time. Hope anyone interested can still attend!!!

I'm going to have to look in to this more. I've got a new pup coming sometime around the middle of May or early June.

Well unfortunately there is still 4-6" of snow on the grounds and we are going to cancel Feb's training day which is a real bummer since I was really looking forward to kicking of the training season.

Next training day is in March.

Any of you see this crap that Oregon is trying to ban field trials and dog training? probably needs it's own thread but figure anybody here has a vested interest in this.

Yeah both bills got pushed back for rewrite.

It will be a sad day in the world if that ever passes.

Thanks for the update about Feb cancelation. Is the March date the 10th and can you start a new thread leading up to it with all the details?

Looking forward to attending.

Oregon also wants to limit the amount of ammo a person can buy in one month. Guess what the limit is that they want.....20 shells.
