It would be an AKC horseback trial TC. To run your HTA pup, you would need to cross register it with the AKC, assuming your pup is FDSB registered

ymepointer

Is that the IE Shorthair trial? I may have to swing down to watch the dogs run. Dan is a very good trainer for sure. Food is usually very good at that event

ymepointer

Most of that sounds true except for the beer, we have the BEST beer in the PNW...even in podunk Spokainee, you will find good micro brews.

ymepointer

If you like a tail.....how can ya chop it off

ymepointer

Well, this is a tough on as I like all of them but I guess I would rank them this way
With pointers:
Ruffed Grouse
Huns
Chukar
Valley Quail/ Pheasants
Woodcock Mountain Quail

With out pointers:
Canada Geese
Mallards
Wood ducks
all other ducks!

ymepointer

I may work on that there!!!!!

ymepointer

I think either kennel should be able to provide you with a nice grouse dog. I have seen a few from Nitro up here in the PNW. They run NSTRA trials and do pretty well. Superior is close enough I would suspect you can go take a look at some pups first hand.

John Rex Gates, and Hoyle Eaton.

Well I never did any of those things but I did look him up on the AFTCA wins database...
Bob Erbe owned him and he won the Region 5 NGSPCA championship in 2002 in Missouri I believe

A weim lady I know swears by Cheeto's ..throw them in the shallow and as ol' blitz starts eatin um, just toss them further and further out until he has to swim to get them. Go to this site and you can ask her yourself

My point is... A GOOD DOG IS A GOOD DOG!!!.....Regardless of the breed. Charlie Amen Charlie, it really is the truth, I have seen fantastic shortneys and wirehairs, Brits, you name it, Even a really nice WPG and a couple of Nice Weimys. Shorthairs are a very nice breed from what I have seen and ver...

White refects light waves and heat while Black absorbs it.....Pure physics problem here, but she may be worried about sunburn on the skin? White dogs do have a issue with sunburn if they are Lemons.

ymepointer

I recall these were in existance say back in the mid 90's but can't recall who made them...think Mo might be right. As far as what do do when the dog is on point you went in and manually flushed it I believe. just like wild birds):>)

Amen Brother, my family salutes those who have served in the Armed forces...God bless you all

Nice pup, I have a couple Lancelot/fibber grandpups and they will all swim too...though I must admit it's the birds they are crazy about, not really the water.

I think it should be Prime Minister of Canada...we need some more good bird doggers in high places

Come/Here...NO....These are very important commands for an english pointer pup to learn early...They tend to be more independant than the v-dogs and if you don't get these commands down pat, it can make things more difficult later on

ymepointer

There are several closed Britt trials run on Grouse and woodcock, but I think you are asking are any brits run on the Major Circuit coverdog circuit??? Is that what you are asking? if so then I have seen very few over the years and can't recall any winning a major circuit OPEN or AM coverdog event. ...

ymepointer

Pointer in general are very early maturing, so this doesn't sound unreasonable to me. I sold a pup to a fellow and they were shooting birds over it at 4 months old, and it was broke to flush at that age...Each dog is different but pointers (English pointers) in general usually are very early develop...

Maybe a little Blackhawk in the background.

Little guy is really growing up..9 months old, and about 50 lbs

Don't worry it's probaby just the result of a weakend imune system. A small dose of ivermectin should clear up that mange in a fort night

Wild birds by a mile

Not even close.

Not chickens but Guinnea fowl great for making sure a dog has whoa down and they will put pressure on the dog all the noise and what not and they run all over, never had a problem that was created by doing this. I believe Henry P Davis suggested Guinee fowl for training birds too in a Very old book...

I believe there is a little setter close up in that strut breeding....Droppers are not uncommon in the South, at least not when I was a kid.
