Strongly recommend Jim Gourley at Setter Dogs for bird dog training. I sent Oakley to him last year and he turned her into a full blown bird dog. At 2 years old, she is pointing solid, honoring, and retrieving well. He accomplished more in a short time than I ever would have been able to. She has had over 200 birds killed over her this year at Quail Quest Hunting. Beyond happy with her progress!
