Did you find any? If not, how many are you wanting to buy. I may know a source.

ncpointers

Sounds like you are on top of it.

I've judged the sire to your male many times. Rusty is a heck of a dog! I am not familiar with the Dam.

I would agree with others suggestion of trying to lease a female and raise a litter yourself.

An Update-

Nixon is now a 3X NSTRA Champion. He was the 2016 and is now the 2018 ECR high point dog. What a fun couple of years in NSTRA.

ncpointers

I'll second Dakotazeb's referral to Steve. I own one heck of a dog out of his kennel. He is second to none for my purposes. Dakotazeb gave you sound advice!

ncpointers

I'm glad you found a new dog. Hopefully fun times ahead for you and her!!!!

ncpointers

So sorry for your loss.

A question was asked about judging NSTRA and has been answered by several NSTRA members and a couple of current NSTRA judges. Yet several want to tell these folks what is better. If you think the current rules or judging techniques are wrong, then join and submit your rule changes per the current NS...

The clearest example I can give as to why a judge needs to always see the dog would be if the dog goes over the hill. The handler takes 2 minutes to walk to where they can see the dog. If I as the judge am following the handler as some seem to suggest and we see the dog on point, I am now going to s...

I ride the 4 wheeler just hard enough to maintain sight of the dog. As stated, I cannot judge what I don't see! I will do everything in my power to never push a dog. I will parallel the dog. I will sit at a vantage point that allows sight whenever possible. But the terrain and cover play a huge fac...

You cannot judge what you don't see. Other things might be judgement calls but how is it judgement if you didn't see exactly what happened to make the call. We all know what assuming gets us.

OUTSTANDING!!! Great job to you both. That is absolutely marvelous. Glad you guys got it done.

ncpointers

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. May you guys have many years of fun.

ncpointers

Use a controlled situation where you know for sure where the birds are. When she false points, just keep walking and encourage her to go on. When she points a bird, flush and shoot it. But you control the situation fully to know when she has a bird.

I gave up after no reply from the powers that be. I used gundogcentral.com's pedigree system. It worked marvelously.

The Briitany can be a house dog 50 weeks and still be an avid hunter the other 2. You cannot go wrong with a well bred Brittany.

Here is Nixon living the rough life. He has earned 21 points this year running NSTRA. It must be a hard life!

Sorry

Glad you guys found each other. Here's wishes for many years of good hunting together!

Congrats

Try my dog Nixon. He just completed his 1st championship. Does he have another one or two in him?

ncpointers

Congrats

ncpointers

Several times a year I hear some version of "She's never done that" or "What's got into her" to be shortly followed by an update that she came in. It happens quite often.

ncpointers

I tried to enter and edit pedigrees a couple weeks ago and got error messages. I emailed the administrator and heard nothing.

ncpointers

Thanks all. I am proud.

Godfather's Destined To Be A Crook (Nixon) won the Open trial at Walker Farms today in the Eastern Carolina Region to complete his first NSTRA championship.

Benelli, Cutting off the food is the best way to not attract. If it returns, a five foot piece of 3/4 inch electrical metal conduit and a 12 foot piece of 1/8 inch aircraft cable makes the best snake catcher I have ever used. I have several rat snakes every year in the chicken coop. Double the cable...

NSTRA is very enjoyable. I became addicted a dozen years or so ago. I chair trails, judge, run and even held office at the regional level for two years. Good luck.

ncpointers

I wouldn't do it. Not worth the risk.

Good luck with your decision.

ncpointers

Congrats on the second place at the Performance! Nice job.

ncpointers

ncpointers

Nice looking dogs! Have fun with them.

ncpointers

What a beautiful girl!

If safety is called, an A goes on the card no matter if you are given permission to take the bird out. IF you shoot without permission after safety is called, the retrieve is not scored per 2.05 as digger stated. If you are given permission to take the bird out, you still must get an A and you can g...

Out of the Virginia region is a dog named Zip that is Ban Dee bred that is the best I have seen personally. He is one heck of a nice dog.

ncpointers

I was never able to see Buddy in person but I have seen some really nice dogs off of him. However, the best Brittney I have ever seen, run against, or judged personally is Ban Dee bred. He has fabulous style, awesome nose, runs like a pointer and will turn inside out when running wide open and he hi...

I hope that was enough for JR to win the top performance. Seems like a tight race. I have seen the Blazer dog run and was not impressed at all. Time for a new winner is my hope. Thanks for the update.

Congrats to the new Champion! As to the breeding, Lester's Snowatch goes back to Miller's Date Line, Miller's White Powder, and the bottom is Lester's Leeza which is Miraculous and Crow's Little Joe. Lester's Nat is sired by Chief Honcho's Bo and the dam is Chief Honcho's Sue. Both the sire and dam ...

ncpointers

Count me in.

ncpointers

I sure enjoy mine. He is a direct son of Burchel's Dutchman. Dutchman is a son of Crow's Little Joe. Check out the litter listed in the Dogs for Sale section from 4X NSTRA Ch. Sawyer's Little Cos. I hope that I can get one as good as their dad.

ncpointers

Carry a honeybun in your pack and give it to the dog if the problem reoccurs. He should react to the sugar on the bun fairly quickly. I had a dog years ago that did not have a problem until she was 6 or so years old. It was always worse on hotter than usual days. Just my 2cents.

ncpointers

I'm wondering the same thing Greg is. Is she OK with you hunting alone? I understand she's ok when you take her to the field to run alone but carry a shotgun with you on a fun run and see if there is a difference.

ncpointers

I find it interesting reading the different techniques used to correct the issue, be it dominance or eye strength. I was taught to shoot right handed as a youth shooting skeet once a week outside of hunting season and did not figure out that I was left eye dominent until I was 17. I retrained myself...

ncpointers

Good luck this weekend. I hope the weather cooperates. I would come but to far from NC. Hope to see you at some Va. events this year. It was good to see you at Steve's this spring. Have fun and be safe.

I'm jealous. Not a huntable population of wild birds within a reasonable distance. Thanks for the sharing.

ncpointers

Muck brand boots with out a doubt!!!!

ncpointers

It's what is between his ears. If I can stay quiet and just let him do his thing, all I have to do is shoot the birds. If he had thumbs, he wouldn't need me to hold and shoot the gun. He would just do it all his self. I attribute it the the "Dutchman" breeding but I really don't care as long as he l...

ncpointers

Stay very quiet. Don't slam doors on the vehicle. Don't talk when you exit the vehicle. Don't over work (calling or hacking) the dog. Let the dog work the cover and learn what it is looking for. Continue to work the old home places and other smaller locations. If it produces birds, don't knock it. M...
