I wouldn't buy a knock-off trooper from eBay...EVER. I have heard horror stories about them...broken trees, metal pommel/cantle breaking...a real nightmare. If its a Trooper you want, I would stick with the trustworthy brands...Tarpin Hill/Heskett, Tucker or Haggis. I've never ridden an M&W, but th...

Gotta say from what I've seen of these pups, from 7 weeks old to now, wow!!!!!! Independent, bold, snappy, energetic, stylish...you name it they've got it.

Ya guys done good Art!!!

Of course thats coming from a guy with red dogs...so not sure how much stock I'd put in that opinion

The 2010 Midwest Vizsla Field Futurity was held at the Des Plaines field trial grounds south of Joliet, IL on March 5th 2010. Weather couldn’t have been nicer for running dogs and those of us in attendance watching. Ruth and I had three dogs nominated to run out of our girl Roxie. All three dogs ran...

Any particular size or gauge chain that works best and holds up?

Anyone know of someone online I can order a Leather Holster from for a Garmin Astro? Need something that's going to take the abuse of being on a horse while field trialing.

Thanks

Vanguard

Need to build a chain gang before this weekend...got to many dogs to be pounding individual stakeouts.

Can anyone point me to directions/measurements for building a chain gang?

Thanks

Will this pigeon recall door work for Quail? Are the funnels the best way to go for Quail? I'm getting ready to build a johnny house and am open to suggestions or someones plans. it potentially could be used for a quail recall pen. However with the quail recalls they will be ground height so anythi...

Vanguard

Wow, you don't screw around! Nope!! With having lost close to 150+ pigeons over the last year to raccoon attacks it was time to make some changes. It never failed that just as the new group of 30 or so birds were homing back good something would happen. Recall door left open, bottom lock on the mai...

Vanguard

When did this happen?

Vanguard

So here's the details on the new loft 16' long x 8' wide x 10' high(8' interior and 2' raised off the groud). Due to the issues with both raccoons and rats we elected to go with a solid floor. Has Electric and interior lighting. Lights are 75watt compact florescent that only use 14watts a piece and ...

What did you guys pick up this last weekend? I think you went winners dog atleast 2 of the 4 days....atleast thats what Ruth seems to recall.

Vanguard

Freeze them and save a quart for me when I come down on the 18th! ......PLEASE!!!

Vanguard

Nice job on the website!

Vanguard

VERY GOOD POST!!!!! Guys this is VERY important to know probably should have the admin sticky it or something. I used to fly RC Heli's and this was the exact same problem we had when out at the flying field. I'll definitely be making sure that I check mine each and every time. THANKS!!! for the head...

Grant,

Wow..that's extremely nice of Tritronics to step up and offer that as a donation for you to give away!

Just a bump reminder incase anyone was considering coming to the Hunt test this weekend. Closing date is Thursday June 18th hope to see ya there.

Nice job Art!!! Just hope I can get one that good some day.

Same as Ted...barn pigeons have always homed for me...now if we could keep the darn raccoons out of the pigeon loft I'd be much happier. Lost 50+ two nights ago to a raccoon. These were just starting to really home back well, back in March we lost the whole loft to another raccoon.

I think you'll find as she gets older that will change. New home, new things, plus being at that age where they are going through a fear period...that and temps in the teens makes a 10-12 week old pup not want to do much but sleep. Give her a couple of weeks and you'll be asking how you turn the whe...

Vanguard

Contact Mike or Karen Taylor and let them know your looking for a Griffon...They did alot of research to find their two and I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.

Sorry its not much to go on but hope it leads you in the right direction.

True I think some of it has to do with the economy, but alot of times accidents happen and a dog gets out by mistake. Congrats on your new addition, lots of socialization will bring him round very quickly. I have a friend on here that rescued a Vizsla and after alot of work and time he's actually hu...

Vanguard

Roger,

Congrats I know how hard it is to work with a rescue and accomplish what you have with Clifford. He's come a long way from when you first got him and I'm sure you guys are going to have a lot of fun together!

Vanguard

Went up about two years ago and I can't begin to tell you how much fun we had!!! Pike are big in those parts I landed a very nice bass and as we were getting it up to the canoe a huge pike shot up and took a chuck out of the side of the bass...craziest thing i've ever seen!

Have a good time

I'm looking for a phone number for a Steve Thompson(sp?) that trains bird dogs out of the northern Ohio/Toledo area. If someone has his contact info please PM or E-mail me it to me ASAP.

Thank you,

Sounds like the gang is doing a good job Paul.

Vanguard

Gridiron, Being in PA your fortunate to be relatively close to several top Vizsla Breeders in the US. Linden's Vizslas in OH, Midnight Run Vizslas in MI, Gordon Long in PA, Homeagain Vizslas(Bill Linnig) in KY...so when the time is right for you to pick out a pup I'm sure we can point you in the rig...

Vanguard

www.vanguardvizslas.com My wife and I started in Vizslas over 9 years ago with the simple idea of owning one of these wonderful dogs as a companion and hunting dog. Of course our breeder invited us out to a field trial to watch. Intrigued by this field trial thing I was invited to enter an upcoming...

Vanguard

I know this sounds weird, but what if everyone that handled, scouted, planted birds or gunned was required to have a hunting license. My thinking is that then the field trialers would be contributing to the Pittman Robertson fund and would be entitled to something back. I think we had to do that in...

Vanguard

I think Greg is very right "Buyer beware" You as the buyer need to put the time effort and research into the potential pup your buying. Ask questions, get referrals. If its going to be a competitive dog, AF Trials, Field Trials, Hunt Tests, NAVDA, ETC., Go watch the parents preform and not just once...

Vanguard

Just give AF a call and give them the Reg# and ask for a copy of the pedigree just as Kiki listed out...AF is usually very quick to get info out to you.

Personally I thought this thread was pretty "soft"and "kind" on the Mossbergs. If this thread was considered bashing I would hate to think what you would say if you saw some of the threads I have seen about Mossbergs. This thread hadn't even gotten to the Pre-school level of bashing before you came...

Ahhh, Mr one BB. Hope you're practicing up for the TOP GUN. He-he. Dr. Allen will be ready. Wink Yup Justin...will be ready...although I think Ruth has to work this year so I dont know if she'll be attending. If I remember correctly wasn't it Denny and I that won partners last year...and we all kno...

Red Label's are nice guns...good quality and shoot nice...however I'm with Greg on this one...the 12 I tried out for a while was stocked to low for me.

Vanguard

For all those bashing the Mossberg Silver Reserve...these are great guns and while a few have experienced some problems the majority have not. I'm assuming Justin is referring to my wife's 20 gauge that was double firing last year at a sporting clays event and I sent the gun back to Mossberg and had...

Helping a friend out with her website and wanted to post it here.

Doug...I guess the main reason I said what I did was because of this comment: "Always gotta give the FT folks grief Bill when all they mention are FT accolades instead of the important stuff!!" I understand that ultimately we all want a dog we can walk out and drop in a field and hunt. But with thin...

Vanguard

Doug, Your talking about two totally different things. When my dogs are field trialing they are going balls to the wall for 30minutes to 1 hour and the range and pace varies based on whether its horseback or walking or hunt test. Same goes for hunting if I'm on foot my dogs adjust their pace. These ...
