SPORTDOG FIELDTRAINER SD-400 REMOTE I've seen a couple of these for sale cheap! They say they're only good up to 5-9 ft. and will need repair. Anybody have an idea as to what's wrong with them? I'm thinking if it's an easy fix I might give it a try. A couple of my buddies have Sportdog collars and a...

Hey guys (and gals :D ), Sounds very interesting! Where do you buy it? dennmor Never mind! I did a search on it and can get it from three places with in 12 miles. :P I feed Pro-plan but will definitely give it a try. What perked up my ears was the "tight stools" part. I've tried a few other brands w...

I didn't teach the old setter a thing,but I have learned how to train a dog to get the most out of the nose they have.I like to work a pup across the wind blowing over the bird.I know exactly where the bird is,so when I first see the pup turn his head in that direction I will stop him there.No reas...

Hayburner, pasture ornament, old plug... just some of the names the family horses get called.... But it's great. Congrats on having your very own!!! Sounds like he'll have a great life with you.

Love the pictures as well.

Keep huntin' and takin' pictures when it's cold.
They look really good from where I'm siting, next to the fire!

Going out Sat and Sun. Supposed to be 32 on Sat, but 47 on Sun.
Now that we can handle!

The weather out side is frightful
But the dogs think it's just delightful
and since they enjoy it so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
ha,ha!

Nice pics, thanks,

On one of the hunting dog series on T.V. A guy spent a season training his pup. The pups name is Yella, I'm sure many know of this show. Anyway at the end,as he and the dog walk off, he says to the dog, "C'mon Yella let's go make some memories, we don't have that much time..." That line always gets ...

I have 4 Verona o/us (12/20/2 28s) and 1 Lanber 2087. . .all are great guns. You are more than welcome to come over and take a look at them or meet somewhere to shoot them, or set up a little hunt at a preserve once the storms stop!! :lol: Gander Mountain in Grandville has a Verona 501 right now fo...

It's pretty clear from her behaviour that the whole thing confused and upset her. Only one solution, start over in small increments - one dog, one other hunter - and build slowly. I feel really bad for the dog - confused, scared, stuck in the truck. :cry: (Of course I have a soft heart. :wink: ) PS...

Dennmor

I think you've gotten great advise from the first two posts. Enough to sort this thing out. Rome wasn't built in a day and just because you and your dog weren't on the same page, on one outing, it's not like all is lost. :wink: Be patient and stick to you plan. He's still just a pup and with more ex...

It has been documented that a 3 to 4 hour wait after heavy exercise is just as important as the 12 to 24 hours before. Ezzy that is nice to know..... i have always fed right after hunting, guess i have been lucky so far but will now give them some time between. Me too! And thanks, that's the kind o...

Dennmor

I would recommend that you all take a look at the Yildiz shot guns. The people who have them are extremly happy with them. The one draw back is that you can only get them from Academy Sports. They are the sole importers and they won't ship so unless you live near enough to purchase one in person, yo...

This thread makes me very tired! :? When you get a group of people who think that they, and only they, know “what’s best for the breed”, regardless of their intentions, it makes me yawn! :roll: :roll: It seems that when you get a group of people dedicated to one of the lesser breeds they seem to get...

Very,very sorry...

There has been quite a few posts on how stiff the action is when you get a new Baikal. This linkwill take you to the I Love My Baikal section at Shotgun World.

One thing that I might add. Keep in mind that in the first year, or so, it's all about growing up and training. After that it's about living with your dog.??? What I mean is you'll ultimately spend alot more time living with your dog than hunting with it. Be sure to take that into consideration. JMH...

My pup's on Pro-Plan Large Breed Puppy and only occasionally farts. Just enough that when I cut a bad one I can, usually, get away with blaming it on him.

Of the three breeds listed I would have to say, yes.

IMO Steady to flush is a matter of safety for your dog. Have you ever seen a dog break for a bird that flushes low and someone doesn't see the dog when they shoot the bird ? I have, wasn't even my dog, it was the shooters dog and it still made my stomach contents curdle. If the dog would have jumpe...

Dennmor

I have a question, what exactly is the advantage to "steady to flush/shot"? In most hunting situations isn't it an advantage to get to the bird as quickly as possible? Of course its not good for your dog to chase flushed birds any distance if they are not downed. But the idea that your dog must wait...

Dennmor

The only GLP's I have seen were from Corashatten, very nice dogs! If I were to go with a different breed next time, I would get a GLP from this kennel. I think they have some pups planned for next spring. Did you know that the Large Munsterlander is a color variation of the German Longhaired Pointe...

I live in Colorado, humidity is genrally low and I've never had a problem keeping guns in a "soft sided" case. A hard sided one would tend to trap moisture and I can see where that might be a problem if you put a gun that had moisture on/in it away and left it for a considerable time. :evil: Though ...

WJ, This past weekend, took Moses out to a farm in Eastern Colorado. He staunchly pointed the first bird, I flushed it, shot it, and he made a sweet retrieve! As the day wore on he seemed to point and then not be sure a lot. I would go in and kick the bushes anyway and there was never a bird. I figu...

An easy way to make a set of snap caps is to take a couple spent hulls, trim them down, pop out the primers and replace with pencil erasers. Pop them in, pull the trigger (twice), and you're set. That's brilliant! Don't credit me, I read that somewhere. (Just can't remember where) :D That is brilli...

Nice! Very nice!!!

Moses must have looked a lot like a Springer when he was young cuz he got called that a lot. Now even most hunters just give me kind of a blank stare when I say he's a Large MUnsterlander. :| When they see him work and find out he's only 8mos they warm right up and want to know all about the breed. ...

Moses, my 8mos old Large Munsterlander, and I went out to hunt Pheasants this week end. We had a good time but I am faced with some difficult questions. My two hunting partners both have Labs. One is a 6yr old over weight, treat eating, experienced female. The other is an almost 2 yr old male, Mooni...

jbr, One of the things about FL. I won't miss! I was cutting out some dead fronds from a palm when I felt and "funny" sensation on my leg. I looked down to see it covered with ants!

You’re both right!
I would never leave the pup alone in the car.
And at the first sign of anxiety I would immediately abort the mission.

I have over and over again seen posts from people on this forum get all worried about "exposing their dogs to gunfire". I just don't get it? Many talk as though if you make any small miscalculation when it comes to introducing your pup to gunfire, it's over. If you have a happy well-adjusted pup, th...

drkg, When they're little and you're trying to get a point across, it can seem like it takes forever for them to "get it". :| Moses was the same way. But when you look back,and see that it only took four or five days to get him not to whine or cry in the crate at night, you'll be bragging about how ...

Welcome to both of you,
It amazes me at what a big hole losing your dog can create, and how easy that new little pup can help to fill it.
We don't have all that long to make our memories, so good luck and have at it!

Good points! :) And Rick, anyone who takes a picture of his dog's poop with his foot as a reference (it was a reference right?) gets my vote. 8) ezzy brought up a good point in another post.

My Large Munsterlander is going to be 7mos in a couple of days. I've had him on Pro-Plan and Pro One large breed puppy food.

For what it's worth, I've just switched to Pro One large breed puppy after trying the Diamond brand large breed puppy on my 6mo old Large Munsterlander.
