My father-in-law trains gsp's and he uses those harnesses and a bar on his 4 wheeler maybe he got some old ones I can use.

I run my beside my golf cart, on a mix of asphalt, grass, and gravel roads, gotta be careful, I started running one of my pups today and didn't realize the asphalt made her pads look like ground meat...

What keeps them from running off and going hunting where they ain't supposed to be? I would really like to be able to exercise them when they ain't getting hunted much

Same setup as Chris posted above, I just used 2x4's on my golf cart, haven't got any harness' yet, they help build the back end up more so than the collars do...

an old treadmill will do if your are short on space to run them or the weather is foul.

That dog seems fast enough to drop in with a coyote dog pack

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

Looks similar to my quail dog. Tossing isn't an option for me so they learn to love the treadmill from a very early age. Just slow walking mostly until fully grown.

Great hunters on top and bottom but unfortunately two different breeds. He was an accidental breeding between a GSP and Pointer from a guy who runs a guide service in Oklahoma.

Been retrieving to hand since the day I brought him home at around 7 weeks old and has loved water from day 1. And yes he likes to get out there - sometimes much further than I want him to but he's always been good about checking in. But as the bird hunting old timers have told me, you can always reel them in a bit closer but you cant teach them to get out further so I'm told it's the better "problem" to have.

Yes , I agree and have lived through that hahaha

I asked because the pointer side is known for a big run especially the field trial breed ones .

Very good lookin dog ! Thanks for posting
