be careful not to get caught up in the speed thing. usaly when they say 300+ fps it's 31'' @70# don't know too many people that have that long of a drwa lenght. i would look for a bow with a higher brace highth like 7'' it's more forgiveing. and 60-65# should be plenty,especally if you have sat in t...

chains or tow strap, some candles incase you have dead baterie you can heat your truck with it.

i'm with rockstar, he is lucky becouse that kid would have had meet my redwings and belt before meeting the dog.

birddog1220

i had one try it at des plaines, bull-1 yotie-0 same thing on opening day.

birddog1220

i herd of a dk i think in oklahoma that had one.

birddog1220

zanfel is awesome but if you don't want to spend the $$$ you can use bleach and water (50-50) it works may take a day or two longer.

birddog1220

you have to join the national for sure.

birddog1220

that is pretty cool nice job

birddog1220

don i couldnt agree with you more. i cant beleve how many jh. dogs fail! its sad to see them go birdless and then look at you to see if they passed. i think the na. test is way better but like mentioned above not over a year old. the other down side to jh. is i have seen a lot of dogs and handlers l...

nice work, way to trust the dog. i did 2 this season sofar booth were train wrecks! not to mention the hacking i got about my dog. if i do anymore it will be my own and use it for pratcice for vgp.

birddog1220

when you were there did they hunt one dog at a time?

birddog1220

i asked that becouse i have seen many dds not backing or even showin signs of it. i hope if i get to germany one day to test that there will be time to hunt there and see different dds-dks in action. i know our hunting styles our prety different. a young german trainer came over a while back, and wa...

birddog1220

i dont think its too old to train, but why would you breed it just becouse it is supposed to be purebreed?

birddog1220

jkp when you were in denmark and saw the the dds backing was that the norm there? usally they dont have a lot of backing instinct. dont know if i would like the flushing and sitting part but when in germany

birddog1220

your lucky that you were there to see a ks. hopefuly i will get there one day with my dogs

birddog1220

prety wild hearing the different stories, i know of 2 different guys guiding at the same hunt club one got shot by the client,thank god for the brush between them and his chaps he was able to walk away. i think it was a week or two later the other guy was guiding a group and had warned them a few ti...

birddog1220

i know what you mean, was doing the same thing but just started keeping some high brass in my training vest. not saying its rite but its a lot safer imo. i figure the amount of sinkers some of the fishermen loose a couple shots on a weekend cant hurt too bad.

birddog1220

have seen and herd of that many times, like you said thank god it wasnt 2'' higher. have seen it the most when doing duck searches.cannot beleave how much and far steel skips off the water,thats why i use led its not as bad. 3 guys that i train with got nailed will sure get your attetion.

birddog1220

beautiful pup, if you dont mind who is he out of? if you do your derby and solms in germany you may see a difference here in the states (the way they judge and score) best of luck and fun with your pup! where will you be when you come home,there are quite a few nadkc clubs around

birddog1220

i second that proudag, and as far as uppety dk and dd people what are you talkin about tommyboy? i own dk's and know lots of people who own dk and dd and i can tell you that they arnt like that,just the other way around. as far as old country registry,dk,and dd breeders would never do that. yes ther...

verry nice,keep up the good work!

birddog1220

depending on the dog the amount of birds they see or dont see. letting or alowing the the dog to catch birds. try to always use good flying birds,homers if you can get them. a lot of people tend to over do it with birds in the field, if the dog has worked 2-3 birds good QUIT dont keep going because ...

birddog1220

i wouldnt be so quick to jump on board with the its too early thing. my dogs have been started that young and no problem. along with ff. you can sharpen the other things like heal,woah ff. isnt as brutal as it sounds. just ounce you start stay with it hopefuly 2 times a day, could take 4-8 weeks dep...

birddog1220

try going to your breader or a pro trainer cause its time for ff. for him

birddog1220

look into some dk they will more than fit the bill

birddog1220

done that a few times dont work?

birddog1220

everytime i try it says error connecting to server try again. it has done that for quite a while,dont know why?

birddog1220

nice job on the derby. i will be in zuchtschau this friday,and have 2 dogs in derby on sun.

birddog1220

well put. couldnt agree more with what you said. instead of the tape i spraypainted a bunch of clouth pins blaze orange and use them to mark the trail clip them on the branches real easy to see when your getting off track.

birddog1220

if you could get the pig blood get it. yes blood is blood but i think some is better than others. was lucky enough to get quite a lot of elk blood was told its better than the others(hotter) . i would try to get hold of the nadkc guys in your area.

birddog1220

hi andrea,i do with my dk. you will probaly get told a lot of different ways to do it,listen to them and try to pick the one that best works for you and the dog. when doing them pay close attention to your dog and learn when she is on the track and off of it but most importantly trust your dog. if y...

hey rick was just wondering why you said dont let anyone talk you in to a slip lead? not trying for arguments,myself i have had great luck using them. i like them for the fact that 1-when made long enough that you dont pull the dogs head off the track head still low.2-everytime i put it on the dog k...

birddog1220

yes usaly its a pheasant. just remember your dog doesnt have to find or point the pheasant, they want to see the natural tracking ability of the dog.

birddog1220

what i have done in the past is take a pheasant tie it up around the wings with some heavy string and connect it in the middle of two checkcords. the two people can drag the the bird and hopefuly not leave a lot of sent. by that i mean the dog is tracking the bird not the people. make them short and...

birddog1220

madonna
can the dogs get knocked out at the kleemann for not turning in the wind in the field portion. by that i mean in the field search the dog turns down wind instead of into the wind. just wondering

after this weekend i saw plenty. dogs not retreving,or backing. but the single biggest mistake i saw was it seamed like the first person to hit the bird field tried to find all the birds before his bracemate got there.

birddog1220

i was a hunter first,then after gettin different dogs i wanted more out of them. the best thing i ever did was to get involved in different dog clubs like akc, navhda, and nadkc. now sometimes i cant wait for huntin season to end to get back to some good training.

jim ritze

one thing you can do,ounce you get your bird and retreve if you havent already got your back, try to get your self in position so you dont come into it head on.
