I like the ole' wing on a pole, but not alot ofit. I have noticed that too much of it (like as in training with it) can take away from style or interest in the long run. I also like to take things like a chew rope for dogs and throw it into the air like a downed bird and let the dog go and get it an...

The King of Birds deserves being worked by the King of Dogs, The setter.

This kennel now has another chain link panel that divides these two dogs. These little dudes were 4 mo. old at the time.

KY Grouse Hunter

I have a 10x10 elevated, wooden platform that I keep some of my dogs on. What do you guys suggest to do to keep it clean and healthy?

KY Grouse Hunter

Felt every bit of it here. Woke me up at around six this mourning. Our mirrors and pictures on the walls started shaking and I thought I was dreaming.

KY Grouse Hunter

Love this thread

KY Grouse Hunter

Same here Don! I have a another littermate to him that looks like that dog of yours as well. The dogs are now 9 mo. old.

Here is the other littermate when he was 3 mo. old. He looks more like that dog of yours now.

KY Grouse Hunter

I knew you would chime in Jonesy. Good stuff.

KY Grouse Hunter

I have two 9 month old orange and white setters. Both littlermates from some Tekoa breeding. Currently both dogs are going through some pigeon work, and some work on an ecollar. This breed is very special to me. Both my dad and his brother inherited this itch for setters from my grandfather who stil...

Now I am at that point with the pups where the command "here" and a sharp tap with the checkcord means something and the pups respond by coming to me. To me this means that the pups know what here means and they understand that if they do not respond they will get the tap ( or multiple taps) until t...

KY Grouse Hunter

agreed. the woods and the grouse in them will teach your dog about 75% of what he will need to be a good grouse dog. My dogs and dogs in the past have learned their range by just being in the woods and hunting while trying to keep with me. If your dogs have what it will take, nature will ultimately ...

KY Grouse Hunter

If your looking to just restore the quail population in an area then I would just release them. If you are looking to have birds to train with, I would go with the Johnny House. Reason being is predators will not have much availibility to your birds.

KY Grouse Hunter

The best dog I have ever hunted behind belongs to my uncle. He is now 11 and a half year old solid white setter. Since I don't have any glamorous pictures of him I will say this, that dog just understood the game. Whenever it seemed like there were just no birds, it was like that dog could create th...

KY Grouse Hunter

I stood a dog up on whoa with an ecollar on his flanks. Very low stimulation, and when he would lay down on whoa, I just basically "tickled" him back to his feet with the collar. Did this 2 or three times and he never layed down again.

KY Grouse Hunter

Not a huge fan of the show. Although I like the fact that a bird dog show is on TV, the dogs training is very minimal and very scattered. Dogs creeping, flash pointing, etc. I do watch the show because its one of the very few shows dedicated to bird dogs. Oh and the commentary... TERRIBLE!

KY Grouse Hunter

For any of you guys that are interested, the Indiana Open Shooting Dog Championship concluded on Monday and Mohawk Mill Dana, owned by Tom Brigham, took first place. Runner up was a dog handled by George Tracy, don't remember the dogs name. This Saturday will be the Kentucky Field Trial Association'...

KY Grouse Hunter

It's interesting to see the same tools used differently among all sorts of trainers and hunters. One tool that I have seen used in a number of ways is the Training Barrel. I just wanted to hear how you guys use your barrels and what you use it for. Post those pics to if ya got em.

KY Grouse Hunter

Oh yeah, lots of trees, native grasses, and tons of edges. Around here there are alot of thickets and in the edges of those thickets is where the majority of the birds stay. The grounds, which consist of around 1,800 acres is maintained to where there are alot of edges and between those edges are st...

KY Grouse Hunter

No its not patch, If orgot what dog it was but it seemed to be a good prospect. Wouldn't doubt of it came out of some Gridiron.

KY Grouse Hunter

Wan't able to be there the last day. I rained all day Monday so I don't know what they did about the last day and naming a CH. I will know soon and I will let you know. Skydancer may have been the dog that had the 7 finds, I know there was alot of talk about that dog when I got there for the second ...

KY Grouse Hunter

Yeah he ran Skydancer and man that dog really put it on em'. That dog had several finds and ran an outstanding race. Here is one of the only pictures I have, Its not very good because I was running rampant the whole time trying to keep my eye on dogs. I snapped this one on a screeching halt. This is...

KY Grouse Hunter

I'll run all this good advice by this guy. Although I don't think he'll take to much to the collar idea because the dudes a tight wad.

KY Grouse Hunter

I have an image on photobucket already but all of a sudden this forum will not let me copy its url on here. I'll work on it.

KY Grouse Hunter

Trial is still going on. Were getting started at 8 in the morning, breaking for lunch, starting back at 1:30 and calling it a day. There are 72 dogs entered and the trial started last Wednesday and will run till Monday. All the big guns are out at this one, George and Mike Tracy, Luke Eisenhart, Sha...

I like cedar chips and straw. The cedar chips tend to hold the bugs down and plus they smell nice.

KY Grouse Hunter

I got a neighbor who is having trouble with his dogs barking all night long and he asked me today what he should do to get them to quit and I didn't really know what to tell him because I have never really have that trouble. Anyone got any suggestions?

KY Grouse Hunter

The state hasn't allowed the trial to take place at the grounds up there for a few years now so they come down to KY to use the Central Kentucky Wildlife Management Area.

I am getting ready to start my 8 mo. old pups on the 3 days and 3rd week dosage to deworm, does that sound good?

KY Grouse Hunter

you give it three days in a row and then one more dose after 3 weeks.

KY Grouse Hunter

Heading over to the Indiana Shooting Dog Open tomorrow in Berea, KY. Anyone going or anyone know of anyone or any dogs going to be there. 72 dogs entered.

KY Grouse Hunter

Does anyone know the dosage for Panacure? I forgot.

KY Grouse Hunter

Well me and you are kind of in the same boat. I have two new 8 mo. old pups and when I turn them loose to run, I have one dog that will stay with me and hardly ever get out of sight, but other dog will take off and sometime runs completely out of sight and does whatever he wants. So what I am doing ...

KY Grouse Hunter

guess no one has their dog come to them.

KY Grouse Hunter

Just curious as to how some of you guys teach a young to come to you. I have two 7 month old pups and need to get them to come to me when I call them.

KY Grouse Hunter

I have also been using that same dosage for a while now and had no instances of worms.

KY Grouse Hunter

I was told 1/10 of a cc per 10lbs. worked fine.

KY Grouse Hunter

what do you suggest birddogdoc?

KY Grouse Hunter

Puppy crap is always a pain. It's pasty and is hard to spray out of the kennel. As they get older it will change. Hint: Keep a square head shovel handy and use it to lossen everything up, then take your hose and spray it all out.

KY Grouse Hunter

Just a little showing off. Went out Monday to work on some pigeons and the pup's made me proud. They are just about to turn 8 months old.

KY Grouse Hunter

When you ay use in conjunction, do you mean you mix and give it together or you just use them whenever?

KY Grouse Hunter

I don't do NSTRA but that is the one thing I do like about the organization. The retrieve and the actual gun make it more of a real life hunting situation and I do like that. Although at some trials I have seen dogs run human scent all the way to where the birds were planted and that wasn't very goo...

KY Grouse Hunter

Yawallac, You are obviously in the same business I am because you know a comment like that could start an all out war. :lol: The old setter, pointer argument always leaves someone sulking, and someone laughing. I am a trialer and went to help scout at the Red Setter Nationals the other day and a guy...

KY Grouse Hunter

It's mainly a regional thing, there is a misconception that pointers have the rap of being big, wide running dogs, with little intelligence in the north. But further south I have found that alot of the pointer people tend to think that setters are softer and not as aggressive on game. It's really fu...

KY Grouse Hunter

OK, I have some panacur as well. How often do you give it to your dogs? I use the Ivomec for mainly heartworm prevention like you said.

KY Grouse Hunter

Ok, I know there is a split discussion on whether to give your dog Ivomec or not, but as for me, I am an Ivomec person and I think it does great. My question is, at what age do some of you guys start giving you pup's Ivomec?

KY Grouse Hunter

I live in Southeast KY and we are supposed to get hammered with snow tonight. I have the Red Setter Nationals tomorrow and sunday. Wonder if you can get snow shoes for a Tennessee Walking Horse?

KY Grouse Hunter

I have all of those lines in my setters as well. I love the Hytest stuff, I love the good ole' fashioned Grouse Ridge Reroy stuff, and I love some of the stuff from Tekoa mt. sunrise. Oh yeah, long live Johnny Crockett!
