The Complete Guide to Bird Dog Training » (Revised Edition)

John R. Falk has trained and hunted dogs since the 1940s. For six years he was part owner of Shoshone English Setter Kennels in Garrison, New York. He is also the author of The Practical Hunter's Dog Book. John lives in South Salem, New York.

This classic, practical book on bird dog training is now updated and expanded with material on the latest field-training equipment, live-game training techniques with released quail and recall pens, and a new chapter on the help and services offered by organizations for owners, amateur trainers, and those who wish to participate in field trials and other bird dog competitions. It covers all pointing and flushing breeds and also offers sensible approaches to buying a dog, bringing up a pup, yard and field training, and equipment. In addition, the revised appendices list recommended books and periodicals, other literature, breed registries, organizations, and suppliers of equipment and accessories.
