Q:I got a lab when I was a junior in high school and trained her pretty well for waterfowl and upland birds. I'm from NE and the thing is, when I left for KS to go to college, I haven't had a whole lot of time to go home and hunt with her. I went home recently and tried brushing off some of the cobwebs and took her out and she didn't do as well as she did her first year that I took her out. Is this just a matter of working with her more or, now that she's 4, is it all downhill and she's just become the family pet?

Q:Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase an e-collar for my dog and wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions as to which one i should look into. I'm looking for something that has continuous stim and nick as well as a tone feature. I don't need anything with huge range as my dog doesn't run too big. I also don't want to spend much more than $250. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Q:I'm looking for the right hunting dog. I'm a medical student and obviously don't have time to get out and hunt like I would like, but I'd love to at least have a dog to join me and help me in the field. I don't have the time to train a dog every day, but am definitely willing to contribute most of my infrequent spare time to doing as much training as possible. Does anyone have any recommendations for breeds that are good house pets and are able to do adequate on occasional hunting outings (mostly upland and possibly some waterfowl)?

Q:I am going to try to train a bird dog for the first time. It will be mostly for quail, but also a little dove retrieving and deer tracking. Would a english pointer or german short hair be better?
