I am not sure if it is still in print, but the pointing dog book by Kenneth Roebuck is a great resource. I trained an English Springer spaniel and two.Boykins with his flushing dog book and had three great dogs that would hunt under real conditions as well as be competitive in hunt tests and the timed pheasant events. My buddy trained his Britt with the pointing dog book and she was the only pointing dog that I wanted to own. Not stirring the pot, I just prefer flushing dogs.Enjoy your pup.
