Northstar...years ago I read a well written article about breeding, raising and testing pups and dogs and it seems this method was from east Germany as well...it was pretty radical and probably an article like that nowadays would never make it in a modern magazine or book in our part of the world...regardless it changed how trained and tested...

For me it is more about testing for natural ability first...we can train repetitively until a pup or dog gets it...and we can feed them lots of tracks until they get it...but why go that route when we can choose pups that are born with the instinctive inclination...to catch on easily without without extensive repetitive training...

We should do our best in picking those pups who just need a little guidance as to what we want from them...the rest should be easy as long as we do the right things at the right times...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
