Allin13

Allin13

looking for a 1" collar. does anyone know of a place that makes them?

Thanks

Allin13

so you just tie them all? how do you tie it into your box? more pics of that if you could?

Allin13

how is the electric rope fence, In rain and dry weather? Is it easy to put up?

Allin13

What kind of deals are you getting on good quality alfalfa hay, 50LBS? I pay 5.75 for 50lbs and $20 for 900lbs but only can get them in the summer and i have nowhere to store them.

Allin13

Where are you guys keeping them? What size kennels do you have?

Allin13

How many dogs do you have? It does not have to be just your hunting dog.

Allin13

He does that so he dont have to pay attention to you. He can watch other things and still know your there.

The Setter Fund just paid 16K.

After 30 years it should have got high!

Allin13

Stoneface your probably reading old stuff. Pointers are becoming a much more softer dog. Back in the days of really being hard on dogs im sure those dogs were everything you described. My pointers are a lot calmer then my gsps.

Allin13

How about Browntown johnny reb front end?

Allin13

next thing at Ames!!

Allin13

should look like this!!

Allin13

Unless a greyhound starts hunting no other dog will come close. Its been what 48 years at Ames and two setters have won! But lets say a gsp does win, what next? It would be like the Cubs!

Allin13

I dont think any other dog is classy enough!

Allin13

Sct has he had birds yet? It sounds like a lot of run and not much hunt. Growing up my parents had dogs that if you opened the front door they were doing 20mph down the road and never look back.

Allin13

I think it takes a tail to run there.

Allin13

Did 6 miles yesterday and average of 11mph.

Allin13

Sct, sounds like a huge running dog! Hope you dont have a run off.

Allin13

Reba, thats some good ground cover!

Allin13

What speed is your dog avg? give the miles he did and the avg.

anyone know what those dogs at ames do in 3 hours?

Allin13

Just ordered millers dvd. Is it a good one to watch?

Allin13

I would just stay away from using them.

Allin13

+1 Neil

Allin13

Oh yeah they are all broke if you ask them. Its funny you go by the coffee shop and the trucks are running so they dont gum up.lol

Allin13

I never said those guys had it easy. I said they have it made! And what i was trying to say is that their fathers were great field trial trainers /handlers and with that they have a much better chance at becoming one also. I would have loved that chance but my dad was a roofer. Im not taking anythin...

Allin13

AZ Brittany Guy, thats a tax write off. lol jk

Allin13

Im not saying farmers are rich, just not poor. I've seen what my uncle makes and what he pays on taxes. its a good living when you have crop insurance and can tax everything. here is a example. my uncle has a $24,000 backhoe delivered to the farm. Me: whats that for? uncle: I dont know but when can ...

Allin13

So ezzy you farm also?? Is there anything you dont do?

Allin13

Sharon, Im not talking about a farmer with a pig and two cows! Im talking about a full time farmer.

Allin13

Sharon we farm 2500 acres. Ive been farming with my family since I was 14. on paper they like to make it look bad but in the end no farmer is hurting!!

Allin13

cmc274 so learing how to train a dog from people we read about...to me that is having it made!! just having the name opens more doors. I never said they were any less of a trainer just have it made... Now if you send your dog to a trainer thats your call but I want to train and handle my own dog. if...

Allin13

And how many of them lay down and die?[/quote]

Why do you think so many do?

Allin13

but how much does that dog make a year? stud fees and winnings?

Allin13

do you think those guys had to find a place to train, buy horses, horse trailer, a nice big truck etc etc?

Allin13

but guys like Luke Eisenhart,Mike Tracy and Robin Gates had the road paved for them. the house was built for them they just had to keep it up.

Allin13

I was reading a article on the past field trialers such Gates, Mack and Crangle just to name a few and those guys had it hard. Driving from tennesse to Canada In a model A on dirt roads that took them 14 days and sleeping on the side of the road! they started with nothing.

Allin13

I've never seen a poor farmer!lol

Allin13

+1 on the spray bottle. And try to do it where they dont see you do it. Dont even say no, just spray them then they think the action caused them to get the spray and your not the bad guy! I have a pup now that wants to chew on computer wire and ever time she does it give her a spray and she comes an...

Allin13

Has there ever been a john smith to win it all? A true amateur.

Allin13

tommyboy, most of those people have paid into it with working for 30+ years. Now when I see some 20 year old kid with 3 kids eating better than me and dont work that gets me.

Allin13

Before I got my field trial dog I thought it would be crazy to have a dog like that. Big run, cant keep up with them, half the time you dont even see them BUT I really enjoy the game!! Its competitive, you get the chance to win stuff and it gives me something to do. would I want to hunt with my poin...

Allin13

went off your garmin!! thats like 9 miles ! wow

Allin13

Shes not broke on whoa.

Allin13

nightmaregundog, so your puppy just had to be in the AF and you can run him in the puppy classic?

Allin13

Isaac, It's great that you are taking on such a big task of training a dog at such a young age. I don't know why everyone on these forums have to be so condescending when you are only looking for help. Obviously you're only looking for advice from people who might have more experience, but you have ...

Allin13

If you do AF trials do you even train to retrieve?

Allin13

I wish we had more old people mentalities. Work harder, not live of mommy and daddy, not suck government money etc. Younger generation sucks.

Allin13

The NBHA national invitional and NBHA futurity and puppy classic.
Now to run in the puppy classic do you have to have an invite or is it open to all puppies?

And the futurity, how does that work?
