Synopsis

A totally revised and updated guide to the initiation and management of successful 'picking up' in the field. It gives advice on choosing a suitable dog, the options available for training and the different environments the dog may have to work on, such as grouse moors, pheasant shoots and rough shoots. It also gives a useful insight into what shoot managers actually expect from their pickers-up.
