Tug is a great looking pup Tammy

Sorry to hear the news. Sure glad Howie, you, and all the dogs made it out Ok. Stinks about the truck but its just a truck. Better the truck than one of you guys or a dog. I think you will have better luck next weekend.

I just went from 7 homers to 12 real quick by the same thing happening in my coop. It was all good but it only left me with 3 birds to train with cause they were all sitting on eggs or babies!

Jake on his first pheasants. He will be a year old tomorrow.

Great choice, you will not be disappointed at all.

dogman23

I agree with Ms. Cage, I would get a pup from her and Northwaters Gsp's anytime. Great dogs and pups!

dogman23

Do you guys fly your homers in the winter or no. This will be my first winter with birds to. I haven't been able to get them to breed all summer let alone winter. How old are your birds? Mine haven't laid any eggs yet, but I believe this is because they are so young. I plan to fly my birds all year...

Congrats on the new pup. Before you know it, that little cute puppy is all grown up. Have fun and enjoy the pup.

dogman23

Thanks Tammy. He actually ranged a lot father today than normal so I didn't think he was gonna get hit that bad but he did great in everything else. Especially with just be introduced to some things the right way. I can honestly say his test was a true NA test and I was thrilled with the score.

dogman23

Well my chapter had its testing this weekend and had a opening for the NA and Jake just turned 4mo old so I figured what the hay, I will run him for the fun of it. He got 4's in everything except a 2 in search and a 3 in desire cause he got hit in the search. They said the only reason he got a 2 was...

If you were near Traverse City I would be game but the drive would be a little far! Good luck with the pup. My gsp is almost 4 months.

I have one launcher that is the command serise RL-100 with a 4 button remote. I talked to LCS and they said there launcher was compatible to it. I cannot seem to get them linked up. Anyone know the trick or how to do it? I reprogrammed it to the my launcher with no problem but it just wont link up t...

Kate looks like she is fitting in just fine:). Great looking pup!

dogman23

I agree. If you want a point get s pointing breed or atleast a pointing lab.

It worked out good the last 2 days. I started to feed just a cup for 10 birds and they gobbled it right up with no waste.

dogman23

Are you feeding that per day?

dogman23

I got 10 birds, it's a gravity feeder, as they eat it or waste it in this case, more comes out for them. Should I just put enough in it for one feeding. How much do 10 birds eat? Or will it get better after there out and flying? I have another week to go before I let them out for there first flight.

dogman23

I feed pellets right now. So should I just add a section of floor under the feeder so they don't throw them out through the wire onto the ground. Loft is 16 inches off ground so they get to it to clean it up off the ground.

dogman23

I have wire on the bottom so it just falls through to the ground.

dogman23

How do you guys stop your pigeons from basically dumping or throwing out all there food. More food ends up on the ground than in the feeder. I thought no way are they going through so much food. Any advice? Thanks

dogman23

So I finished the pigeon loft last week and picked my 10 homers last Wed. The birds have been in the loft since than and tonight I took the pup for a walk and checked by the birds to change the water. One guy got out and off he goes. They have never been out to fly on there own ever. He flew into co...

Worked a few tracks today with a hotdog and he did awesome. After that first one, he would catch scent and follow track to a T right to the prize. Very pleased on how he used his nose.

dogman23

Thanks. It has been interesting so far. Been a while since we had pup. It's fun though.

dogman23

Yes, he did socialize well. It took him a little bit to get use to being here but I think now he is starting to like it. Yet to be determined for my setter though LOL. She looks at him and sneaks off to another room.

dogman23

Just picked him up yesterday. Got a little expensive since driving from Michigan to Minnesota and hitting a deer on the way home home. He is litter mate to Howie and Tammy Hill's pup they also posted. Kids named him Jake.

dogman23

Thanks guys for the help. I am still debating the metal roof. I can run a extension cord to it in winter to keep water from freezing. I didn't even think about the slant of the roof until I already attached the aviary to front. Oh well, I guess I am not perfect after all:)

dogman23

Do you need nesting bowels or are the nesting boxes good enough?

dogman23

I had a skinny metal stake longer than the bobs and I cut off the end that had a loop on it so it fits perfect, put in 2 staples on each side of door, just slide the stake through under bobs works perfect and easy. Problem solved.

dogman23

I think I am a slow learner though cuz I can't figure out how to or what the easiest way is to hold the bobs up on the door so the birds can get out and fly? Thanks for all the input guys. Its greatly appreciated.

Traverse City. All I need now is the new gsp pup in 5 days. Can't wait.

dogman23

Yeah I am shingeling it in a few, the floor on the inside is just wire like the aviary. I assumed that was enough ventilation unless I am wrong?

dogman23

Here is a picture. I don't think its that bad for the first thing I ever built LOL...

dogman23

Thanks guys. I already have 6 perches in it. So I guess I am good than, I hope.

dogman23

Just got done with the pigeon loft and I have 10 homers coming in 2 weeks. My question is I have 8 nesting boxes in it, so do the males and females share nesting boxes or do they take turns sitting in the nest. Or do the males find there own nest or not sit in a nest at all. This is my first time wi...

dogman23

I believe yotes will stalk a dog 100%. I had my setter pup out just running a corn field to get her outside and explore. I kept hearing leaves rustle in the woods and I knew a deer wasn't following us. This went on for half an hour and finally I looked in the woods there stood the yote eyeing up my ...

dogman23

Here are 3 male pups at 17 days old. I can't wait to get one. The hard part is going to be deciding which one I wanna take home when they are ready:)

dogman23

Thanks for the responses. I felt good when I decided and I feel even better now. Can't wait for pup.

dogman23

Sorry.... I am planning on hunting grouse, woodcock, ducks, geese and some phez. I want a calm dog in the house but switch in the field. I want a strong point, not to far ranging, water loving dog with a lot of natural retrieving. I also plan on running navhda and akc testing. I think that covers it...
