training me to train a pup
« on: June 24, 2010, 10:42:15 AM »
Hello,

Well I bit the bullet and put my self on the list for a boykin puppy for 2012,  I know I have some time but it works out that is the year I retire from the Navy and when I get home from my second time in afghanistan,  anyway it has been years (like 20) since I even worked with a hunting dog,  I used to have brittianys for pheasant hunting in kansas.  So what books/videos do you all recommend I get to study on?  I have time and more time on my hands so I can study alot!  I plan on training mostly for waterfowl and that will be new to me also.

thanks for the help
carl

Who did you get him from? Here's My female turning her nose up at Earl the Boykin.

Is Earl the sire? He's a fine little dog. Does the work most big dogs won't attempt. This little guy has been to the HRC Grand quite a few times. Hunts real life regularly with his Dad Elroy.

THey're not unlike Chessies (well, they are actually part Chessie) I'd recommend spending some time with Butch Higgins. He's done a real nice job with a number of Boykin's. They take a little different approach to training. Butch is a great guy and has proven he knows how to work with these guys.

The pup will be from mocha ridge kennels in oregon.  they got theirs from hunters rest kennels so the bloodlines look good.   I am not sure yet the sir and not I just got on the list and they told me that they are scheduled to have maybe 3 litter that year.  thanks for info on butch higgins,  sound like a good progam but for that price it will depend on how fast I get a job after I retire.  I thought the wife was going to flip when I told her I was planning on buying a dog but she just told me it would be my retirement gift!! 

thanks
carl
