awesome choice for a youth shotgun

You can put your pup on a stakeout or (or chaingang if you have any other dogs) and get out of her way. Leave the area but be in a place where you can keep an eye on her. Let her fight it without association with you. Pretty soon she will learn that resistance is futile and she'll give to the press...

Just Study the Pedigrees of parents of any dog your looking at. Its a guess for anyone, the best you can do is see if the parents are winners/champions and if they come from other champions. The best trial dog in the world may not have a lot of champions in the pedigree because they just come from g...

Kellym

Sounds like some great advice. I would say the dog is associating WHOA with something negative. Maybe just a bit too much pressure with it. The silent command system by the Smith's works great for this reason. Your not telling the dog whoa until he fully understands what it means. Remote launchers s...

I have owned many setters in my life. I love the breed. Range is a very controversial subject, however in my experience the King bred Llewellin Setters tend to be naturally closer than any other setters I've owned.

The Best Way to Train your Gundog - The Delmar Smith Method. The book is a great read. You should read the book but also buy the DVDs. The book is very old and the methods have been modified over the years. Rick and Ronnie smith train with these methods and produce extremely nice bird dogs. The book...

You really need to take him to vet. IMO

Corn is not as bad as many make it out to be. If its not processed right its a useless source but with the right processing it can add to the protein of a dog.

Kellym

I was a big supporter for loyall for years. They won't sell to anyone except ag retailers and its just too hard to find.

I feed the Victor now but I really don't know what I pay for it. I buy 3 different formulas

Kellym

so just what are you feeding

I am feeding Victor and my dogs do great on it

IMO if the dog sees the launcher he will get sight oriented. I live in the city but have several places I have found nearby to run a dog. I have found it pretty easy to get access to work dogs when land owners know you won't be carrying a gun. You don't need a large property just something that wil...

Use a live pigeon and lock its wings together there is probably a video on line somewhere to show how. I found this explanation just make sure you have it right before you turn your pup loose> Locking wings: One of the coolest attributes of a pigeon are its wings. They're the only bird (that I know ...

can you post pedigree of dogs you want to cross?

The guys I will be hunting quail with this year have dogs that are not broke. My setter will be broke by this hunting season and just wondering how bad is it gonna hurt her training to hunt her with unbroke dogs?? Any tips or suggestions? I'll be interested to see responses on this. IMO if you dog ...

Kellym

I respect that. I felt the same way at first. Once I hunted all the different leases I learned it was a good rule. As I said pros and cons for everyone you should do what's best for you

Kellym

Use anything you want but I would stick to one syllable words

Kellym

Yea but Edmond Club don't tell you that you only able to hunt the bird leases about once a ,month. The Okc Sportsman Club there online reservation system allows everyone to have the same access to all leases, no one has any advantage over anyone else as of where to hunt. The reservation system is s...

New puppy coming home in a couple of weeks. I'm very happy with Victor dog food so brand is not aquestion, formula is. They have a few to choose from with protein as high as 42%. Pup will be 8 weeks when she gets home. Tell me which formula is best and why!

Thanks for clearing that up Kelly. Are any of the properties set aside for upland hunting only? Yes we have over 20,000 acres in north Texas bird hunting only. We have 10,000 acres in the panhandle that is loaded with blue quail that is primarily bird hunting and we have land in Kansas that is feat...

Can you copy it or is there a way to see other's pedigrees like PerfectPedigrees?

Yes you can actually save as a pdf, and search pedgirees also.

very user friendly. easy to use and search function works well for any pedigree generated in system

Kellym

yes hemostats work but are slow. I don't need a multi-tool but am willing to carry one if it works. so if you know of one please give brand name or where to buy no need to clip. Ive pulled out way too many, with some dogs its hard enough to get a hold of it once to pull out much less twice to have t...

Kellym

I have pulled porcupine quills out of dogs too many times. I usually use hemostats. They get a good grip and do a good job of pulling out the quills the downside to hemostats is the locking action. Each time you clamp down on a quill you have to unlock them to get to next on while at the same time i...

its gone only the owner of the domain can bring it back. They let it expire and to buy it back now would be $$$$$ they could start over with a new domain.

A call to American Field will get you three numbers; the dog's wins, the number of offspring with wins, the total wins of the offspring. Know they will also tell you the number of championships the dog has won, don't know if the will tell you the number of offspring championships. I have the number...

Kellym

Never had an issue removing them. Use a vet and ensure no issues if you are worried about it. Bleeding is the only thing I can see might be a problem. Use steptic powder bought from any barber supply store to stop the bleeding. Look to another breeder if you wish to have dews removed cause after 5 ...

Kellym

I find find this concept interesting. Sometimes I want to ask, is it really all on Bo's shoulders to reproduce himself? If people are seeing mediocre dogs sired by Bo, you're more likely to hear about that than almost any other sire who is producing mediocre offspring. Why? Because he is Bo. He's b...

I was talking to a breeder that says he will not remove dew claws from puppies. He says hes never had a problem with dew claws. I have had dogs and have hunted with others that have dogs that still have dew claws. Its very common to see the dew claw get really raw and irritated. I have never experie...

Reading threads on hunting boots made me thinks about dog boots. What do you like? IMO Lewis Dog Boots are the best on the markets but Im lazy and to put them on right takes some time.

Don't know anything about those, but I like Red Wing Irish Setter boots, they come in double E (extra wide) in most sizes of most boots. They want a $100 and more, but when my boots are getting broken in well, I start watching for a good sale in the usual places (Amazon, Cabelas, Bass Pro, etc.) an...

Kellym

I must agree. It takes much more than good training. I have some great dogs (don't we all), but they aren't good just because of the trainng. I don't trial but the only way we know good breeding is to see it for ourselves or have wins and championships to prove it. This pup will go to Ronnie Smith t...

Regular dawn dish soap the blue original seems to work well. Dawn Dish Soap! is the best. I use a garden sprayer that goes on the end of your water hose. I spray the kennel down a couple of times a week. If your not using a septic system when you scoop poop, put it in a can with a lid and put kitty...

Kellym

I don't know why what you hunt has to do with what you train with or why using one type of bird is lazier than using another though I do think you should use what you like. And believe it or not all birds eat, all birds poop, so there really is no difference in raising or housing them. Pigeons being...

LOL.. Well I just put a deposit on a pup from him. I guess time will tell! Thought maybe I could hear some great things about some of his pups!

We all know Bo that 2 time national champ setter. I have seen pups for sale from him but my question is....... Does he reproduce himself. IMO there are a lot of great bird dogs out there that just dont reproduce great dogs. In the setter world we have seen some dogs that show up in a lot of pedigree...
