[QUOTE="amcardon, post: 2907070, member: 26766"] Hey guys, we recently picked up a 9-week old female German shorthair pointer and I'm looking for some feedback on training her. I have never really hunted birds and wouldn't even know where to start with her or if I will ever have time in the future to get after birds much. So, is there any point in training her on birds, even though I think it would be awesome to have that option. Anyway, right now we're just working on crate training and basic obedience, but I'm gone from 5am-7pm M-F so all of that falls on my wife. We also have 5 kids from 7 months to 10 years old, so I'm trying to decide, is it worth having somebody else train her (the puppy ;-) ) and if so, who would you recommend? Like I said, obedience training is most important as she is a family dog, but some hunting/gundog training would be nice, but unsure of how much practice she'll get... I appreciate any help, first dog I've had since I was a kid so this is all new territory for me! Oh, not sure if it makes any difference, but the parents are both hunters and work birds multiple times every week.
