Harold, I'd echo the Garmin recommendations. I like the mini version. The batteries last plenty long for us. I also have the watch to help with the tracking (and counting my steps!). In addition to the handheld device with the screen, I also have the more traditional linked transmitter that allows for better/easier access to use the tone for communicating with my pups. I have them trained to respond to the tone as well as the whistle. The transmitter is in a holster at my hip, much easier to access. It also has a small screen that has a direction signal.
I also recommend Steve Snell's Gun Dog Supply. They ship quickly and have great information about their products. Steve is a dog guy for sure and his knowledge is helpful.
No more lost dogs!!! Please!!
