Rating:  - A great insight into the mind of the Gordon Setter
After being owned by a Gordon for seven years and now re-reading the book, it is obvious how well the Sorbys know these dogs. They have great insight into the inner workings of the mind of the Gordon in how the dog deals with other dogs, training, field and confirmation competitions. I do not hunt but these are great dogs and the book is as close to an owner's manual as you can get. I wish children came with a book like this.
Rating:  - It's Ok, but.......
Remember, this book is written by one of the biggest breeders of Gordon Setters in the USA. That said, the book does have a number of valid points it makes, but then sometimes you have to wade through the propaganda.
That said, it's an interesting read and if you are a student of the Gordon Setter breed, it does belong on your bookshelf.
Rating: - Make the most of your Hunting Companion.
Sue and Norm Sorby literally wrote the book on pointing dogs with this one. It not only tells you how to train a Gordon Setter (or any other pointing breed of the finest quality field stock), but also how to pick a pup, when to train, how to deal with different personalities (yours and the dogs), showing, field trialing, and breeding. In short the essential guide for anyone interested in getting the most from a great hunting dog. The book is written in such a way that even a first time bird dog ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome guide to being owned by a Gordon Setter!
Having had several "pointing" dogs I thought that I knew everything. Then I purchased a Gordon Setter from the Author and WOW! The breed is peerless and the book is more than a "how to"" guide. The insights and training tips for the breed are excellent. The humor is great! I give it 4 paws up!
Rating: - a must have guide to understanding and training your Gordon.
This is a very well written and very informative book. Written with some humor but matter of fact and covers every question that someone new to gordons would have. They cover a wide range of topics that touch every subject from pups starting in the field, the show ring, first aid, care of breeding stock etc.The amount of information is fabulous and I recommend it to any Gordon owner - beginner or seasoned vetran!!
