Title: WPG on Point
Post by: LipRipper! on May 07, 2013, 12:30:58 PM: Well, I haven't posted since I first got Remi at 10 weeks, but I was way too excited when I got this cool picture of him pointing at some quails on my property. He's 8 months old now and training is coming along really well. I can't wait until this fall!

Can't wait for this fall!

Post by: LipRipper! on May 22, 2013, 12:13:37 PM: I got him from Skeeter Holler Farm, which is close to Cheney. I've been wanting to take him to Double Barrel Ranch for formal training, but I'd like to get some input on it.

He's a good looking boy!

I don't know anything about Double Barrel Ranch.

Jim Cochran(sp?) has been highly recommended by several people I trust. I drove up to see him once and spent a little time. Great guy. I would like to start going to him on a regular basis. Time and funds though......Seems I always have one or the other, rarely both!

Post by: LipRipper! on May 28, 2013, 12:29:57 PM: I looked up Jim Cochran Sporting Dogs and it looks like a great place, but it's on the wrong side of the state for me. I understand the time and money issue and how they never coincide. So far, my pup is impressing me, but I'd love for him to get some proper training. I don't know of any other places in the Spokane area.

Here is a link to there website: http://dunfur.com/ (http://dunfur.com/). I have shot clays out at double barrel several times and talked with Ron there about dogs and bird hunting and he seems like a really good guy too.

Holy Cow, thank you! Dunfur Kennels is literally 4 minutes from my new house. I checked out there website, I'll definitely be stopping by there soon. Thanks for the heads up.

No problem. Let me know how it is, if you ever go out there. I have a 3 month old GSP that I am considering taking to get some good training when she grows up a little.
