I now teach stop to flush (thrown object), stop to shot, combine them and then condition the dog that if it stays in place, I will go and bring the bird to the dog..dog carries bird to truck (FF)...young dogs are intermittently allowed to run for the retrieve...keep them off center.....all done wit...

Yep.....the female's out of Joker and is located in Everett, WA.

BTW - that's a great lookin' GSP in your avatar!! Gorgeous point.....

If anyone knows of any quality stud dogs in/near WA that would match up well with a female out of Slick's Cuttin' Wild, please let me know!

Hey Jeff - I usually can't make the fall trial. Too busy at work. Maybe next spring. The only trial I made it to this year over there ended up in a blizzard.:mad: How are those Joker babies doing? Doug I'll look for ya there! The pups are doing well but I have a lot of work to do before we'll be ni...

Nebraska

Congrats to all! Doug Doug - I was surprised to not see you there.....hope you make it next Spring. I was running the dog wagon Sat/Sun and can attest there was a BIG turnout. I put my hands on a bunch of great dogs so anybody placing a dog at that trial really has something special IMO. Congrats t...

While I was out yesterday, I was picking 1-2 ticks off my legs every few minutes and before I jumped in my truck I noticed there were actually 8-9 ticks climbing on my boots/socks at the same time! I've never run into ticks as bad as they've been this Spring. WIth this cold/wet start, I wouldn't thi...

I don't run a restraint collar or tags when hunting. I have my ID & contact information right on the Alpha collar. You can rivet a GDS ID tag right on the antenna guide as shown below. The only reason I ever have another collar on with the Alpha is to run a check cord. Then you can simply flip the ...

Hi guys.

Just wondering if anyone in/around Omaha had a Chukar I could use with my pup for a couple days. I'm going to run her in her first Am Walking Derby and was hoping to mix it up (she's only been on pigeons) prior to her hitting the field....thanks!

That's really the best option in my book but to each his own.....

Nebraska

Thanks Ezzy. For some reason I thought there might be other health risks involved depending on their age. If it's just a matter of needing time to recover, I'll probably just do it after the season's over......

Nebraska

My GSP is ~ 4.5 years old and had a litter of pups in June. We will breed the pup down the road but we won't be having any more litters with the dam. So, when would be the best time to spay her?

Nebraska

Good to know - thank you.

Does anyone from the Omaha/Lincoln area compete locally in NSTRA?

Those are awesome pics! I'm sure there was a river of tears when Ruff passed.....

That's the one. I don't do Facebook (and hopefully never will)......can I find the results anywhere else online?

Thanks Shags. I might have the wrong FT. Isn't there one going on this week??

Nebraska

How/where can I verify the info?

Nebraska

I know you're born with it. My family didn't partake in any outdoor activities and never encouraged hunting of any kind but as a 4+ year old kid, I would pour over catalogs picking out what guns I wanted to have when I got older and would even make my own bows/arrows with sticks, fishing line and st...

Gotta love it!! Thanks for the pic.

Does anyone have a link for the 2012 National FT? Thanks.....

I've put together the pedigree for my GSPs going back 13-14 generations and have found a couple different names on a few of the REALLY old ones so I thought I'd ask for some help here. These don't match exactly and I'd like to be as accurate as possible so any help would be much appreciated....... D...

Nebraska

I built one, only thing I would've done differently so far was cut one of the side doors all the way down even with the floor so I could scrape the crap right out. Now that you mention it, that would be ideal. I might even modify mine because that really would make it a lot easier and faster compar...

Nebraska

Thank you guys VERY much!

Nebraska

We have at least two pups going out of state right now and I'd like to find the best way to get them home. So far, it looks like flying them via Midwest Airlines (~$195-$280 + the carrier) would be my best option because the flights go from Omaha to Denver and then on to CA or WA with fairly short f...

Bob Erbe here in NE has about as many FC from his lines as anyone I know.

Here's a link I found from the GSP Club of NE that shows a pic of FC/AFC Erbes Fire Skeeter - 2011 GSPCA Amateur Gun Dog of the Year: http://cajunkennels.netfirms.com/GSPC%20of%20Nebraska/

Thought I'd bump this one up for some more feedback......thanks!

I don't think you can be without at least one point and shoot camera - especially for hunting. I had an Olympus "Tough" camera that was absolutely awesome in the field and even underwater. When it finally died, I wanted to get the latest model but ALL the tough cameras out right now are getting terr...

Is anyone planning on attending the upcoming field trial in Cheyenne, WY???

Nebraska

Are there any issues with Frontline or Ivomectin in regards to a bitch that's about to be bred. I wanted to apply something this weekend and my female went into heat today and will most likely be bred in just over a week. I want to make sure she's protected but I don't want to do anything that would...

Nebraska

My GSP has always done a great job retrieving birds to me but the last time I went to a game preserve, I shot a hen pheasant and, after getting a mouth full of feathers, my girl decided she didn't want to retrieve the bird any further and dropped it 1/2 way back. I gave her a command to "fetch it up...

I don't have a travel trailer but did do quite a bit of research on this subject for backup generators to keep at my home or take camping and ended up with two Honda EU2000i units along with an extra 5 gallon fuel tank.

I'm really sorry to hear about your grandfather WW........

Nebraska

Sorry to hear about the porker.

Sounds like you had a very interesting trip......I bet seeing that hawk scoop up the bird was quite a sight!!!

Nebraska

This input is much appreciated....thanks again and please keep it coming.

BTW - windswept, I didn't see any big bucks (wasn't looking hard either) but I sure saw a TON of does. Definitely looked liked a great year for deer!!

Nebraska

Thanks for the input Wildweeds.....that makes sense and is much appreciated. I'll be looking forward to hearing the details on your SD hunt......

My first GSP had a very thin coat so I got a fleece vest for her to wear in between fields. It wouldn't work for hunting but sure worked great in between and even at home when it was REALLY cold out.

Nebraska

I broke down and purchased a NR hunting permit for SD and went on my first hunting trip (Platte, SD) this past week. I hunted only public lands (no trespassing on private) and my dog handled very well but we were only able to get points on hens (saw some roosters but they all flushed wild). I don't ...

My dog went into heat opening weekend - what a bummer!!! :roll: This brings up some questions...... So, how long do I need to keep her under lock and key?? I'd hate to miss opening day every year; how much does their cycle fluctuate from year to year?? Eventually, we're going to start breeding her (...

Nebraska

Catching them would definitely not be good. My othe option would be to just buy a few and dizzy 'em and plant them and come in x-wind with my GSP on a check cord.

I'd like to hear opinions on either way......thanks!

Nebraska

I've been working my GSP on pigeons from a releaser and she's been doing a good job holding point until the flush. Next, I've started working with her on being steady to wing and shot (primer pistol) but would like to shoot some birds over her in a controlled environment before the season so she doe...

As much as I didn't want to open this thread, I just had to because I've been there and know how incredibly bad it hurts to lose a good dog. I put my Sadie down in August of 2008 and I can honestly say if I hadn't picked up a pup in February of that same year, I'd be done hunting......it hurt THAT b...

I really like short barrels and love the way that English stock looks but I don't like the way it swings.......sorta twists my wrist compared to regular stock.

For the most part, our dogs get along very well but every once in awhile our young female will get a little snotty with the old female and will growl and show signs of dominance. It usually happens around the food/water bowls but when I take the young one running, she'll will occassionally get growl...

I have wide feet and need at least an EE so it's hard to find boots that fit my feet. This year I found a site called "Zappos" and it's been great for finding good deals on shoes/boots.
