Could be a number of things. That "wagging" is called flagging and it could be that the dog does is on pen birds because of odd scent.

KY Grouse Hunter

Agreed with midwest fisherman. The Llewellin's were the setters bred for field trialing years and years ago.

KY Grouse Hunter

With my dogs, time and experience most of the time changes that. In the grouse woods though its different. Cover is much more dense, sometimes they get turned around, and it takes more time to work bird scent in such a congested area. My dogs circle and it's ok as long as I know they are hunting and...

Now... (14 mo.)

I just wanted to know if the HeartGaurd was good stuff. As I said the dog acts normal and shows no sign of lethargy or sickness. The stools from what I saw were normal because he feeds the same as I do and the stools come out firm. (SportMix) I don't know what the deal is, I mean, he turns the dog l...

KY Grouse Hunter

My buddy wanted me to get on here and get some of you guys' opinions on the situation of his dog. Just by looking at the dog, everything looks fine. He is as jumpy and as excited as ever and does not seem to show any signs of sickness or discomfort. On the other hand, when he goes to feed him, the d...

Back on sight.

KY Grouse Hunter

I've used it on my last two pups and it seems to have done real nice.

KY Grouse Hunter

GSP9, I have had two dogs come down with lyme's and it's one of the saddest things to see a dog go through. Fortunately, it sounds like you have caught it early and have started to treat correctly. One thing that I have started looking for now in dogs that I buy is if the sire or dam has had a histo...

KY Grouse Hunter

Congrats. I will be watching tonight. Never been to or seen an UFTA event.

KY Grouse Hunter

Ha. She's a good dog. Big runner, & classy.

KY Grouse Hunter

Here are my two CH Mr. Motion and CH Tekoa Mt. Sunrise dogs. These dogs are 13 months old and just about stone broke. I love this thread! http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e89/THBE/PointBack8-21-082.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e89/THBE/CopperPoint8-21-08.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albu...

KY Grouse Hunter

Nope. Thats one of those scruffy Miller dogs.

KY Grouse Hunter

Good Find. Love your dog too.

KY Grouse Hunter

Personally, I like a bell (not a turkey bell but a bigger one) and a beeper. I like a remote controlled beeper to run on point-only mode, and I like a bell for tracking the dog, and plus the bell is old school which is cool. I hunt the mountains of south appalachia so bells and beepers are almost ne...

KY Grouse Hunter

That looks like my setter Mecca.

KY Grouse Hunter

I I would say "Too-Shay", but I dont know how to spell it Nitrex. haha

KY Grouse Hunter

I love this thread.

KY Grouse Hunter

HAHA! Looks like some quality German Shorthairs you got there.

KY Grouse Hunter

In my opinion on a dog that had troubles the first go around with pups, I don't know if I could chance the $1,500 stud fee. There are plenty of other credible Elhews out there that could throw you some good pups. Its all in how picky you want to be with the stud. You'll do the right thing. Good luck.

KY Grouse Hunter

That setter pup could pass as a model dog. congrats and good luck.

KY Grouse Hunter

Wow-wee! What looker. Good lookin hound. Credible breeding as well.

KY Grouse Hunter

Can't beat a setter. Good to see a Corbin KY guy on here. I am just up I-75 about 11 miles from ya'.

KY Grouse Hunter

Good Lookin' dogs. Love how Squirts face freckled out like it did. Bodie seems to have real similar markings on his hindquarters like both of mine. How old are they and how far broke are they. I'll get some training pictures of my two sometime this weekend.

KY Grouse Hunter

Awesome.

KY Grouse Hunter

Some breeders clip tails and don't tell. They have their reasons but I have nothing for it. I jumped a guys case two years ago on a pointer I was to buy and when the dog showed up it was obvious it had been clipped. Leave em' long and poker straight for me.

KY Grouse Hunter

I own setters and pointers, but I am a setter man and have since my grandfather got me started in them. They are my bread and butter. I have two that just turned a year old on the 7th and both will head north this fall with me to further their training. Hey Don, your gonna have to post up some pics ...

KY Grouse Hunter

I've hunted southeastern Kentucky all my life and the hunting could not have been worse. The past 15 years grouse numbers have diminished. I killed two grouse last year and from everyone that I talked too around here, sounds like I did pretty good. THe numbers just aren't here because of loss of hab...

Good Guns

KY Grouse Hunter

Good Gun.

KY Grouse Hunter

Gotta Love AFTCA wins. Congrats to your friends.

KY Grouse Hunter

If you find a place with alot of birds let me know. I am from London and birds are extremely thin here. Good luck with the dog.

KY Grouse Hunter

Love the legacy. I never saw the left side of that dog but I was told hed had a large black spot up around his front shoulder. A true legend.

KY Grouse Hunter

How do you clean your kennel Birddog 307?

KY Grouse Hunter

Put a quail into the launcher and stand off the cut-out on the bird on point. Then Check your dog in on a cord to where he cannot see the cut-out pointed, (maybe behind a barn or brush). When you bring the dog around the obstacle that is blocking the view of the situation, the pointed cut-out will c...

KY Grouse Hunter

No dogs inside, period. Dogs were made for the outdoors and thats where they will stay with me.

KY Grouse Hunter

What about SportMix? Have any of you tried any of those brand formulas? I have used the Hi Energy and had pretty good luck with it.

KY Grouse Hunter

Take the pup into grouse cover and pray that she is bumping birds because that means she is finding birds. After a few bumps on wild birds she will soon figure out a safe distance when she starts standing wild birds. Let the bird teach the dog. If she is handling planted birds well, then she should ...

KY Grouse Hunter

I actually have not had really noticed an odor problem, now granted dog crap stinks, you can't get away from that, but I haven't had a problem.

KY Grouse Hunter

I use decking for some of my kennels. They work well and are inexpensive. I used rough cut lumber and try to put a coat of urethane on it every year. JUst spray it out and sometimes you may have to use a straight hoe or something to loosen up the waste. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e89/THBE/Dog...

KY Grouse Hunter

Love that half black, half white face.

KY Grouse Hunter

Agreed.

KY Grouse Hunter

I always put EMT gel on the tips of mine 2 or three times a week for one week then just let it heal up from there.

KY Grouse Hunter

I don't give it to them that early but when I do give it I give it at 1 cc per 10 lbs.

KY Grouse Hunter

Where is or was the best place to get Wick stuff online? I have always bought from a store.

KY Grouse Hunter

Not dogs in my house!

KY Grouse Hunter

I saw Erin's Skydancer run a while back and that is one nice dog. Didn't know that he was headed down to Hytest. Thats a good fit though, they run one of the nicest setter operations in the country down there.

KY Grouse Hunter

Thats a poster dog alright. The way I post is by loading my pictures onto a host site like photobucket, and then go in under the pictures I want and copy the IMG code for that picture and paste it onto the post.

KY Grouse Hunter

got any pics of your cleanly cut setters?

KY Grouse Hunter

quick question, do any of you setter guys, especially you southern guys, give your setters a haircut in the hot summer months?
