My sister is going to be picking up 2 springer/collie mix puppies today, and I want to get a good book to learn how to train them for hunting.

I don't know how much duck/goose hunting I will do if any but, pheasant, partridge squirrel coon rabbit etc I have in my area, and I do already hunt or want to.

  Game Dog by Richard A Wolters. He also wrote Water Dog and Gun Dog, also both excellent books.
  
  You can pick them up at Fleabay, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc.

  +1 on Wolters, also pick up Family Dog. A solid sit/stay and come with a whistle and you are better than 80% of the "hunting" dogs in the field.

  Cool I already had game dog in my shopping cart on amazon, going to look up Family dog and Gun Dog.
  
  Have any of you read
  
  The Training and Care of the Versatile Hunting Dog
  or
  Urban Gun Dogs: Training Flushing Dogs For Home And Field
  
  They sounded good as well and prompted me to drop in the cart for further checking, going to see if I can check some out at the library I'm not holding my breath though.
