Why Not Hunt With A Hunting Dog?

By Jake Klout


A gun dog can be a friend like no other to a sportsman. When you are feeling anxious, that hunting dog can give you a friendship that is unlike that of man's relationship with any other type of animalon this rock floating in the vast emptiness of space. No animal, with rare exception of a trained hunting dog, can read a human being's thoughts quite so effortlessly. If a gun dog had thumbs and could work the stove, ladies might be out of work! I jest, of course. There's a reason why they call dogs man's closest friend, though, and societies from around the globe have embraced the canine as a help in hunting strategy.

A dog doesn't learn to be intuitive to its masters wishes all by itself. Yes, of course, a hunting dog does have some natural inclination towards intelligence, and even empathy. Inevitably, however, can only get you so far. A hunting dog you intend to use as a hunting partner must be trained, and trained well. As luck would have it there are a number of fantastic instructional guides video and otherwise that are available that are capable of teaching you how to do that from beginning to finish. I will discuss those in a few moments, to be sure.

A bird dog can be a substantive investment, both initially to purchase the puppy who will eventually become your hunting partner, and also in continued health care down the road as they age. If you are a genuine huntsman, though, the amount of time time you are going to spend in the field with the accompaniment of a well-trained hunting hound will be well worth the energy when its all said and done.

I have owned six dogs, and the eventual loss of each and every single one pained me greatly. However, the legitimate thrill of having your own gun dog effectively flush bird from their hiding places, or having your dog retrieve your game that was shot down river is not just something worth giving it a biscuit over -- it's worth bragging over yourself! Let your gun dog have its moment of glory, and when it performs well, give it a good pat on its head and rub that pooch's ears.

It's important, though, that before you do make the purchase of a gun dog breed that you are indeed prepared for the necessary investment in terms of time. Training is not too terribly easy. If you're not genuinely prepared to personally take that time, then it's advised that you quickly decide whether you are capable of investing in the services of someone who is able to. Dogs from around the country end up in homes where they are mistreated due to the fact that the owners don't realize until they've already made their purchase that they may not have the willpower to invest in a pet dog. Do not let this unfortunate circumstance befall you.
