Just means those guys had the best dogs.... doesn't mean you some kinda of genius... I could've said about the same as you, I bet the guys with the best dog wins.

O wait congrats you were right pat yourself on the back one more time!!!!

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

No ecollar here!!! Plus she stood it broke. Just been polishing the dogs up for some trials that are sneeking up...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

No pissing match... From what I've seen the weakest link it the chaingang is the snaps. Thats where i've seen most the dogs get loose from, in my limited experience

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

$5.00 for a pigeons is alot of money just saying... I catch mine at night. Actually went and caught 2 dozen last night at 1. I have a sweet spot where they roost in grain bins at night. Its dark so some do fly but they can't fly out the hole to get outside. I get a light on my hat and pick them up o...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

How do you replace a snap when your on the road then??? Don't till you get home and can be where there is a torch and welder?

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

gspmo1 no quail do not reproduce like pheasants. Quail pair up and actually the male has a part in raising the chicks and will actually sit on the eggs as well. Quail can raise multiple broods in a year since they do act in this was pheasants will not. Quail are more a family bird where the roosters...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

There are lots of options Chris. If you would tighten them with a pair of vice grips or even use some lock-tite they would hold. And I'm sorry my brittanys are to smart to understand that they can't pull there way off the chain...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Scott that's how I set mine up also the ring for the stake is attached with a threaded link so you can move the stake or add to the chain depending on what I have for dogs... This has been an informative thread and has stayed on track who wouldve thought we could do it!!!

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Interesting question. I subject a young puppy to as much as possible from the time I bring them home or there old enough. I will walk them with older dogs when there 12 weeks old so there use to others from the get go and are use to running through grass etc etc. They spend time on the chain gang an...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Rodney I had one already, its lost at the moment, that I purchased from LCS. It worked but was made of the lighter weight chain. I will when I get it back use it for say a puppy chain gang or what have you... Here is the low down for who gives a crap. I used a 2/0 passing link chain for the base lin...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

And the verdict is!! I made a chain today and still going into it felt 6 foot wasted to much chain and space. 5 foot seems perfect to me. The dogs can touch each other but I could care less bout them touching noses. Took a picture maybe get it up later. What's everyone use for stakes? Inner axles ar...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Dave that is agood point to bring up. And actually our new National Champion Cash this year, was derby pointed and one his first stake which wasn't a championship but was and OAA hour stake with 36 starters then finished his FC by winning the National Championship out of 57 starters. So that is a go...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Thank you... Seems like a long ways but must be right

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

6 foot just seems way to far in between. My other one I know they could touch each other. You don't put the ones that bite next to each other!!!

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

I'm going to make my chains of the chain 18 inches how far apart should I put them??? I searched the old topics and somebody said 6 feet between and that can't be right. I was thinking just 3 but probbaly 4 foot would be the right way to go...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

If it AKC and its in march your going to get fined $100($50 a day) as your to have your paper work in 90 days before the event...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Joe I don't doubt you have done well but really when you argue its like you make up things to argue about. Ezzy never said chapionships were easy to when of anything like that. I don't agree with Ezzy very often, actually this maybe one of the only times :D , but your just coming back and putting wo...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Ray I don't quite get your post. Your talking like use Brittany folks are going on about how great our brittanys are. Vagas asked a question that had no answer then Joe had to say AKC events suck and now you are telling use that we shouldn't think are brittanys can compete in AF. I never fell p felt...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

So Vagas you started this debate so that you could prove that AF is better than AKC??? You ask a question and then jump right on Joes high horse and off you go... I need to go I have a kennel full of 3 legged akc dogs I need to list for sale...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

There you worded your question better...

Of course anyone with a brain would want to own a dog that is consistentaly in the "money" week in week out. It says alot about a dog be in the placements often.

Middlecreek wrote:So what is everyones decision if neither dog has produced a litter yet?

If the dogs are "clones" and do all the same I'd breed to the one thats closest.... They both sound like great made up dogs!!!! :roll:

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

The one thing with AKC events is that there are more amateur owned and handled dogs that don't even go to the nationals. For some its a long drive for there one dog. So there are lots of nice dogs out there that never even have a chance on the big stage. There are just to many variables to get a goo...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Of the two i'll use the nicer one!!!

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Ya it is nice to bred to a proven performer it gives you and idea of what you might get out of the litter. I have looked at dogs and then saw what they threw in a couple litters and kinda threw those dogs to the wayside cause they didn't produce what I wanted and these were dogs that won ALOT. The l...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

I watch the dogs several times. I breed to a dog cause I like what he brings to the table. I'm sure it similar to anyone under any registry. I do plan on breeding to our current 09 national champion this spring but was very interested in him prior to him winning it this last fall and actually was a ...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Vagas your right I really let my penis envy show through there.... So what your gonna have a shooting dog and a derby is that how it works??? Seriously I'm always up for alittle competition so let me know... If I win will you let me come back though??

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Chris let me know when your going to have your first trial ill try to make and see if my dogs can fill up your course....

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

O sorry guess I didn't know Pointers couldn't run in AKC events...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Are you going to be affiliated with AKC??? AF???

And just who are you and why are you so much smarter than all of use???

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

No I'm not worried. I'm intelligent to know if she was having obvious troubles. I thought I should be able to feel if there were more pups. AC Guy she might be breathing heavy cause there is a heater blowing on her... I wanted to ask incase there was something I wasn't thinking about. I do get worke...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

No I can't feel anymore pups. It has been over 12 hours but if she doesn't act like she is stressed why would I call my vet?

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

She started last night and we have one I didn't think she was going to have very many. Its been hours since the one pup. She seems ok but she is breathing a little heavy but doesn't seem to be straining. She seems quite tired and is just laying there tending to the puppy and sleeping. Seem fine or s...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Now all this has gotten into is an ego match!!! Point is to ask over $500 for a puppy I think is insane... Thats is the top price a puppy should be worth depending... I might pay more from a frozen semen breeding where the sire has produced dogs while he was alive. Joe not all National Champions pro...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

It makes absoutely no sense to me!!!! Have no idea why you would do it!!!

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Jeff I'm sure it never got going. It was a good idea but I never saw it getting off the ground and it appears it didn't. Not surprised.

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Who is he out of??

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Number one if your dog doesn't do it off leash you havnt trained him. Training is putting steps together and then having them all come together. Your dog doesn't know what here means if he did he would come when called with the bird in his mouth. You missed steps. Your dog is too young and you asked...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Do you know any 2 year old children??? Try to get there attention long enough to get them to pay attention. You say once in your thread that when your pup was a little pup, its not when he was he is a little puppy!!! Slow down... Your not going to accomplish much because the dog isn't able to learn ...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

The only reason I ever feed that wet canned stinky stuff is if I have one that is finiky about dry. It has no more added you could accomplish the same by feeding extra dry. If she enjoys it softer add water to her food. For the record in your avatar your dog appears a little over weight. Maybe help ...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

I'm sure most are measuring with a tape measure and that is really hard to get the actual height. A whicket (sp??) is the best and official way to measure them. If I were to guess most are shorter than what they measured. Tanner my dual prospect is on the bigger side but is probably 20" maybe 20 1/4...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

I woukf guess the pheasant hunting will not be that great if at all. Depending on lots of things but the Sandhills area isn't very good for pheasant hunting. I will guess there to be thousands of prairie chiickens and sharptails. Let me know how it goes though.

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

You make some good points about the future of our sport. The future does look bleek. About selling cheap puppies keep in mind that the price of a puppy is the cheap part of owning that dog. I don't sell puppies cheap as lots of people will buy a cheap dog because its cheap. Where people that are wil...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

But seriously if there was one line taht was better everyone would bred that line. There is so much difference in individual lines that in no way could you ever say one line is better than the other. I've seen certain dogs bred out of nothing that were GREAT bird finders. All you can do is try to ge...

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

Those Nella dogs really put the birds in the bag!!!!!

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

What town did you stay in? I'm wanting to go up there again.

Brushbustin Sporting Dogs

I have taken a few pictures during the season and just thought'd I share its kind of a summary of my pheasant season thus far. It has been a great year for birds here in central nebraska. Hope you enjoy!!! http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/robbieroy/2009_1125Image0040.jpg http://i89.photobucket...
