I heartily second the choice of pointer if it is a pointing dog and a lab if it is not. The pointer, moreso than any other pointing breed, comes out of the chute with the tools to make a good hunting dog. They often exhibit strong pointing instingct at 8 weeks old. They are pretty hard to mess up p...

Once was enough because you figured you'd take your tiny individual victory and leave with your dignity in tact is all. When I found out, as a newcomer, I was matched with the winngest dog in the Region, I was initially sick-trial by fire. When we were matched in finds, and were on our way to a vic...

Simple answer: Purchase young pup with proven blood lines of your liking. Purchase Carhart overalls. Hunt said pup repeatedly in areas with opportunity of exposure, wild or planted. Never shoot a bird that pup has not pointed and held for you to flush. When Carhart coveralls become frayed and shredd...

I guess I need to apologize to poor ol' Jim Harris for being lumped in and insulted with me and Scott. I'm looking forward to seeing you again, "you play a pretty mean fiddle boy".

Dont hunt coveys late in the day, dont shoot birds out of a small covey. Limit your chasing or taking of birds out of even a large covey especially in in climate weather. If you can tell the difference at flush only shoot the male quail (some of us can tell when they Flush believe it or not) and do...

Let us in on more details like the trainer, length of time the dog was with him, etc. Trainer was Weldon Bennett from Huntingdon,Tn.. Other than taking the AF I know very little of the outcome of trials, but FWIW he won this years Alabama Championship with his Coldwater Warrior dog. He left for Ion...

Last week my female 2y/o EP made it back from South Dakota and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was somewhat skeptical prior to sending her (because I'm cheap) but without a doubt the best return on dog money I've spent to date. I truly appreciate doing business with a gentleman who does ex...

Thanks for the feedback 68.
Found a local supplier who says he raises these in a extremely large flight pen with good success, I guess we'll find out Saturday.
Thanks again.

from Jim that's now about ten months old. Could not be happier with the service or the pup. My older pup has been out in SD since July so I've had the chance to work this pup exclusively this summer, not only does he have all the tools but also has a great disposition. Mr. Harris is a stand up guy, ...

Like Scotch, this drink would be likely to work well on disinfecting wounds, freeing stuck lugnuts or helping great-aunt Sally's lumbago....otherwise, Irish whisk(e)y such as Redbreast or the smoothest Jameson's are far better choices to place inside a human body.

I would stay away from anything on the bottom side of a ped with the Kraftsman Kocain bitch in it! She throws a genetic flaw that is passed through females. Just an fyi.

Good buddy Dereck Layne was kind and gracious enough to invite me to ride with him in a West Tennessee trial last week.

Classic public vs private. I like public hunting opportunities but people have a "kill em because the next guy will" attitude. Before deer proof fences, this kind of thinking hurt deer populations in Texas. Some guy would kill a 3 year old buck with potential just so his neighbor couldn't. Hardly a...

Maybe they have been around in your life ime but not always. They are in fact quite recent east of the Mississippi.
