Farris's Steps to train dogs

Hunter, Bob Farris becomes a dog breeder and tells us some of the steps he used to achieve that goal. I looked at the situation. That's why I kept a male out of my first two breedings and every breeding I did, I kept two females. I learned how to train for Nevada Test, which is a versatile test for versatile hunting dogs. And next thing you know, I apprenticed to become a Nevada judge and I judged Nevada tests for 25 years. Just learned a lot about dogs. Eventually I started raising more and more dogs, and I needed to get information out to all my customers rather than sit and tell them how to raise a puppy and how to train a puppy, and what were the steps and at what age they should do these steps. I ended up writing a book, so I send that book off with all my new puppy owners, and it pretty much has a schedule in it. What to do at eight weeks, ten weeks, 12 weeks clear to their eight year old and instructions as to how to get a dog pointing, how to get a dog retrieving, how to force retrieve a dog so it delivers birds to hand. Just all of the things that I felt were important that were missing as far as a versatile dog, one that was a water dog and an upland dog, these dogs are very, very capable of things like shed hunting for horns. So I wrote a chapter on how to train for shed hunting and how to train for blood tracking in case you are an archer and needed a dog to recover big game that you've wounded. Speaker1: From waterfowl to big game, that's a pretty talented dog.
