I would look at NAVHDA lines heavier coats for being up north and are true hunting dogs with a ton of versitally

Hattrick

I second Friedelsheims I own 4

Hattrick

I always say sooner the better. The first 5-6 months are the impression stage the more exsposer the better you are.

I hope to thru a name in the mix one day hopefully sooner than later.

I don't think performance guys care about color becouse they pick the best dog not color in a hand picked breeding. The average owner seem to care more about color. Me personly I don't like solid liver or a vary white dog. I just breed my bitch to black male in hopes of keeping a black ticked bitch....

Hattrick

Brooks that's why they are called versital gundogs. They adopt to the situation

Hattrick

I meant to say not limit yourself to just Nstra dogs

Hattrick

I would look at pedigrees that match up well with a emphis on strong line breeding. Vary few males can reproduce themself I think you hedge the bet with line breeding. I also would limit your self to just Nstra dogs

Hattrick

I bought sum mane and coat horse shampoo and conditioner. If it works for a horse it should work for this hunting dog. He's has a really nice coat for a gsp I would even say he has about as good of coat as you can get on gsp especially a white dog. I'm just trying to hedge the bet and its a new aren...

Hattrick

Thanks for the advice

Hattrick

What do you all do to brighten up a GSPs coat prior to showing them? I will be testing the waters in the showring soon and its a completly new game for me. Any advice is apperecated. Thxs

Hattrick

I would look at Friedelsheims GSPs, Sundance and Stillwater Gsps has a outstanding litter on the ground now. All 3 have been highly succesfull in NAHVDA and compete and done well in the FT world.

Hattrick

Do your homework its skin diseases and all kinds of stuff running thru labs now a days. Search it out well and good Luck

Hattrick

Pretty cool!

Hattrick

Sorry about the grammer I have a sorry word changing spell check. If I new more about computers I would install a better one. I feel its are duty to recover or attemp to recover all wounded game even if you have to walk a dog. I think its legal to walk a dog just about anywhere on aleash. just saying

Hattrick

I would do this I would put which ever dog you decide on as many easy trials as you can even if you see the deer go down. Training in the off season helps to I would seek a few Dk guys blood tracking is part of there game. Just year I double lung a small buck seen it go down so I went grabbed my gsp...

Hattrick

Can they see the birds from the Ramp? I was reading that having wire on the side with the recall tube so they can see the birds helps. I figure on doing this with mine hoping it works

Hattrick

If only all breeders made it mandatory kennel names first on resgister names life would be easier. If I could I help I would don't no any of those dogs tho. Good luck

I was thinking coyote and foxes would be a problem too so I was going to make my sides from tin roofing. Have had weasles and minks get up the recall tube?

Hattrick

I wouldnt be mixing them I house my chuckers in the barn separate from my pigeons I've found out the hard way mixing birds equals dead birds. Have you had problems with predators getting in the recall tube? My thinking was to have the pen in crp grass so the birds have a little cover for safer travel

Hattrick

I'm thinking of putting one or two on my the farm. Any advice would be great. I have mostly trained with chucker and house about 50 at all times. If I put the recall pens out that will also serve as my holding pen for the quail. How far can I use quail from the recall pen and still have them recall?...

Hattrick

Here's a true story we had nice country /barn cat(killing pitch) in the house. One night I let her in she comes in fast and it was dark and not knowing my puppie was standing behind me anyway cat rolls In all breakouts out I run over turn the light on an mason has the cat pinned to the ground in his...

Hattrick

Join a local NAVHDA chapter they will get you started in the right direction and you will probably make a few good friends in the process. Whoa, heel are things you can work on a little every day in kitchen or back yard. Start short and increase time as you progress. good luck

Hattrick

Interesting thread. Good thread really

Hattrick

Pretty smooth:-)

Hattrick

I'm also speaking of Gsps

Hattrick

Ray good post, what about those what I call powerfull gates the ones that just scream raw power, heart, detemanation would you say they fit in to the third type you mention or is that one of its own. I see it with more in muscular built stowt dogs, I call them 6'2 250 linebacker blue collar dog comp...

Hattrick

Cj sounds like you like softer breed dogs and that's ok too. Its a enough breeders out there you can seek out what suits ur needs. Happy hunting:-)

Hattrick

Wish my boy Mason was qualified to run. Hope to be next year.

Hattrick

And if your hunting it means killing maybe 1-2 roosters verse 0

Hattrick

I do what Donf does and reward like birddogger does.

Hattrick

In most all cases female owners search out approved studs. You just don't decide that you want to have a stud dog. In order for him to be desirable he needs to have accomplished something special usually in testing venues / hunting and have a pedigree to back it up and even then its hard to get bree...

Hattrick

This going to get. I'll get the popcorn:-)

Hattrick

Not central but Greg Fry Deadwoods Kennels. He's good

Hattrick

Believe it life is changing in front of are eyes and we once new it. Just think back 10 years ago its moving fast in the wrong direction

Hattrick

Well only 5 made it back and yes old faithful mack daddy is home. Hopefully the rest will fine there way but I doubt it. Dam I just should not of went so far the first time out In this wind and snow on the ground.

Hattrick

Don't really understand your thinking here you do get to name the Dog right behind the kennel name which I think is standard practice. What's the big deal? you probably bought the Dog due to reputation of the kennel and pedigree. If the kennel name is not on the registered name how due you track ped...

Hattrick

Who registered the Dog?

Hattrick

I have cabin fever here in md been snowed in since December it feels like. So being behind on e everything I decided to start homing my birds out a little farther than the half mile that distance I routinely train at. So I load up 35 of my best birds and drive out 2 miles dump the birds out thinking...

Hattrick

I would think the top kennels across the coutry that preregister their puppies will use the kennel name first on the pedigree. I don't think that would be considered a restriction. If a new owner had a problem with that I think the owner would be the problem

Hattrick

Put sum food in front of bobs and the rest just inside as to trick them to go in.

Hattrick

I think I disagree with most of the replys to a degree. I just say I'll take the pup out the hole litter at 12 weeks that went after the quail the rest can go with someone else. Will the others turn out ok? probably so but I'll take the one that shows it at 12 weeks, preferable showing it earlier th...

Hattrick

What kinda of titles you looking for and what are you looking to do? I wouldn't just pick a stud on convince I would look at pedigree that fits you can always have your pitch shipped in or have sperm shipped to your vet. I would look at Friedelsheims Gsps , Stillwater shorthairs and its a nice Stud ...

Hattrick

I agree on a lock. valid points have been made by many it is only one way its going to go now.

Hattrick

So you have a kennel/breeding program but you dont train your own dogs. I think all of this makes sense now. Good luck

Hattrick

Well said EZZY

$1000 stud fee for a untrained, untitled, unproven dog its more like steeling from the trainer for being too nice. After reading many replys on this thread its some serious cases of OCD going on in the dog world. This trainer sounds like a stand up fair guy.

Hattrick

I really cant believe your making this big of a deal out this. They have been more than far with you take the money. More than likely you couldnt of gotten that much money for a stud fee if you tried. You should be prowd your boy had enough swagger to get it done. Accidents happen your a fool if you...

Hattrick

I dont think it really matters. Males are bigger and stronger usally. as far as taking longer to mature thats a myth it really depends on the breeding lines. If i had a male and my intention was not to breed i still would not nuteur him a female i might. I have 2 females and a male. My male was the ...
