Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Btw if plan to hunt him only as bird dog and not in blind then Sherwood is a fun name since most don't train em to those commands for that type hunting. If you work in sit and stay command for family dog and retriever work in a blind then a name beginning with S is not ideal since dogs typically only hear first part of a word. Teach a lab or most dogs to sit and stay proper and all you have to use is first to letters and most will do the command. ST and SH are to close and can be confusing.
It maybe to late but just be cognizant of it. If you teach sit and stay and then call his name he may get confused, especially if you use his name to send him. Maybe you can morph his name into Woodie. That is good South Georgia duck dog name.
BTW have seen the mistake made with Brittany we had named Suzie. Great bird dog and very smart but then we thought we could teach her to retrieve only and she showed signs of it and want to do it but we messed it up. It was frustrating until our friend and Vet that was a duck hunter and had labs told us our mistake. After that when we took her quail and grouse hunting we almost could not use her name because she would stop and just stare at us looking confused. I swear if dogs could talk she would have this crooked look and head twist with an almost angry brow scorn look saying "What do you want me to do" .
