Mark, it's easy to get a dog to stay in close, up to 35 yards, but when you see those big ranging pointers and setters in the big field trials way out there that takes time to do. From what I know, you train him by letting him out and run out there, bring him back in, kennel him and repeat that day in and day out. After a while that all he knows is to run way out there.

The best way to find out how the breeders dogs hunt is to have him take them out and see how they range.
