Ahoy hoy!Just joined the forum as we are collecting our first HPR in four weeks and I have never trained a dog to the gun before - so this seemed like the perfect place to be 
Hope to speak to you all soon

We have chosen a GSP, went to have a look/choose him at the weekend but they are not ready for 4 more weeks, that said we decided on a name months ago - 'Wesley' , though I can guarantee he will be called 'Wes' Most of the time

Hi and welcome. You're close a good trainer if you need help. Rory Major is in your area and there are a few people on this forum not too far away from you.

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I am sure a local training 'club' would be an excellent idea, We saw a sibling from a previous litter working on saturday and I would love that level of control.

Am I missing something  There hasn't been any HPR "group" training in Lincolnshire for nearly fifteen years  I agree Rory Major is a fantastic trainer but regular group training is so very useful.
Any way - Good luck with your new pup - Enjoy!

Well "little" Wesley arived on friday. He did really well on the journey back from the New Forest to Lincoln only going for one toilet break. My Father-in-law and Mother-in-law were so impressed the first time we visited the breeder they had a pup also, a bitch called 'Purdey'.
He has been into evrything since we returned an the breeder said wheneve trouble started it was always 'Wes' that started it.

Hi, I was going to contact you. Lisa said you were getting him this weekend and I was thinking of you.
How close are your parents to you? Nice that he will be having a bit of company from one of his litter mates.
Hope you are ready for his training on the 13th, I mean he obviously needs controlling, all that mischief  . When I told Rory you were getting him he said it was great you were bringing him so young for training as he usually only gets to see most dogs when they are older and hit a problem.
Just a thought, but if your parents are local are they interested in coming to training too?
You don't know how lucky you are having one of the best gundog trainers in the country taking us on
Oh and btw little Wes looks lovely as does his little sis.

Just another thing...................................... you see all that food on the work top behind you, well that is soon going to be a thing of the past

At the moment they are still together as me and the fianceé are living at her parents house as we are building our own house, five dogs here in total now
We have just been looking for a food to move them to as they came to us on Eukanuba and I personally refuse to use anything made by Iams and also would like them on something without all the animal reminants & corn/wheat/soy, we was about to try him on 'James Wellbeloved'
See you all soon.

James Wellbeloved is a good move Have been trying Holly on one of their senior this week. Then again I mix and match all the time.
Remember to introduce anything new VERY gradually to avoid a funny tum. Although with 5 dogs around I'm sure there is nothing new I can tell you

Well this is the first time we have experimented with 'natural' foods - the other three are on Dr Johns Gold medal - it's a premium price but will hopefully help their growth, though to be honest they look fantastic on the eukanuba, I do feel its an average product for a premium price, but hey ho we can only see.

I use Dr John's Gold too - find it excellent for my Brits - mind you they'd eat anything. I didn't find the price too high either.
