She will kennel off collar, in the house. I do know I'm creating a collarwise dog. I guess I need to do more yardwork with her. Would you overlap the whoa and here training ? Or do here, then go to whoa? I do want to do NSTRA next year with her. I've got to get more control of her, off collar. I hav...

She is not whoa broke. Thanks for the suggestions.

I've got a 1 yr EP female. She is good when she has a collar on. I have never busted her hard with it on. She respond to the vibration mode. If she ever gets lose she sticks her middle finger out and does whatever she wants. Generally chasing anytype of bird in the yard. Then she is off and running....

I also have a pointing lab. I got this dog as a bomb squad dog wash out. I didn't know his background or breeding. I took him out to my trainer just to see he could be a flusher or if he had any drive. Very athletic and fast. He locked up on the first bird, then the next bird. Like said previously, ...

Merry Christmas to everyone. Jonesy is up walking around. So far no complications. They say if stays the same, he will go home tomorrow. Thank you everyone for all the prayers. I'm sure they worked.

Monday 6:30 pm; Jonesy just got out of surgery. They replaced 5 arteries. They said everything went well. Hopefully he'll be up and around soon.

Jonesy, is at St Joeseph Main Hospital in Lexington,KY. I left him Sun afternnon. He really looked alot better. Sitting up and talking. His family had just flown in from Illinios. He will have bypass surgery Monday around 12:30. They thought he has between 4-6 arteries completely blocked. He did get...

I posted a similiar topic last week and got alot of help(hunting section, Mitchell, Letcher area). Go to South Dakota's fish and wildlife. Find the area you want to hunt. They have maps in Sections there, with all the walk in areas. Plus you can road hunt. That is hunt the buffer between the road an...

Wanting to put something down in my keenel other than shavings.They just kick them out.They stay out in the kennel while I'm at work and come inside when I'm hiome. I would put down concrete but don't plan on being here more than 6 month's. Thought about treated 2x4's, concrete landscaping stones, o...

Thanks for everyone's help and input.

I heard to get a stuffed toy. Throw it in with all the littermates and let them get their scent on it. Then put it with the pup. Some say it makes them more confortable.

My son and I plan to go to Letcher for four days the weekend before thanksgiving. I've got a place to stay, the problem is the farm we are to hunt is big and wide, not much cover. Does anyone know of any good public walk in areas near us. Any help would be appreciated. It will be our first time in S...

I have a 10 month old EP. love to watch her lock up. She is a pain in the house. That may be becuase she is still a puppy. I also have a 3 yr. old rescue lab. He will lock up on birds and is a good retriever. Doesnt like water over his head. I don't know why. He is the best dog inside. Except for sh...

I have a pointing lab. He is very fine. Jackson will lock up on birds, As far as backing, he will just sit. I also have a very fine EP. She is very good, and better than than my lab. As far as a companion there is no better than my lab. They compliment each other. By the way; my lab is a rescue dog....

I'm trying to find walking trialsls for my 9 month EP. I live in central kentucky. I've been to the AKC website and can't make heads or tails of the field trial section, all I see is mostly beagle trials. Any help? Thanks

Don't give up. I got a Lab that was a bomb squad wash out. I didn't know any history of the dog. He was two when I got him. Took him to one trainer and he said don't waste my time and money. Took him to Dave Jones Jonesy's gun dogs Berea,Ky. He place a couple of birds out in he field to check his in...

She will turn 7 months at the end of July.This is her 2nd month, I love to watch her progress. This is my first pointer. Dave Jones(Berea,Ky) Jonesey's Gun Dogs has done a great job with her. She has alot of Fiddler in her. He just had another litter with the same mother and father. I can't wait for...

I used Jonesy, for a lab I had, was very satisfied. I've bought a english pointer pup from him and she'll be going to him the 1st of June. Dave is a straight shooter. He will tell you what you need to hear, not always what you want to hear.
