700, welcome to the board.
If you have 4 hours one morning just come and help out around the training kennals and you might pick up a thing or two. I don't know a lot but because of age have forgotten a lot also. but can show you what not to do, maybe.
Always glad to have a newbe come by and see how things work.
Have a lot of patiances and hunt with dogs before you buy something on what they said dog would do. If you see it hunt before you buy it should hunt after you buy.
When and if it EVER cools off-I may do just that.I wouldnt mind the drive or seeing how you have things set up.Thanks to all for the welcome and tolerating the dumb questions.
