Tommy is correct. Charlie judged all three days at the trial in Optima, OK. My guess is his cell service was poor...I know mine was when I was there.

Anyone attending this AKC event in Hardesty, OK on March 2nd?

Ole' Spur looks pretty good! See you in a few weeks at the HT.

I have an 18 month old pup who is going to run in some HTs coming up. As a 9 month old, she had some issues tagging her bracemate and not hunting on her own in the back course. I didn't put any pressure on her because she was just a pup. She was hunted on wild birds all season long and matured consi...

I've been to his seminar and if you tried to pin him down to a time table, he won't answer you. His reply, "Every dog is different." He uses the Pre-Cue, Cue training method and he stresses low level stimulation. Hickox also wants 80% compliance in the Show pups stage before using the collar. Theref...

That's a good lookin' pup. Jake sure puts his stamp on them!

Have you contacted Tom Swezey in CO? He uses the Indian Brook name in his Kennel. Here's the link http://indianbrookgsp.com/

Kennels are lookin' sharp! I second the curb and slope ideas already mentioned...you know what mine looks like.

Work on calling her off the chase. Shoot some training birds for her. Let some fly. Show her there is a difference. Ones you shoot she gets, the rest fly away. I would add that you need to be disciplined during hunting season. If she handles the wild birds exactly right...shoot them for her. If she...

Good stuff...thanks for sharing!

What's the age of the DD? And what are your training goals? Those will help answer the questions you asked.

I live a couple of hours from Garden. If you could let me know how things are progressing and give me a definite date so that I could get that time off work, I am certainly available.

If you live in SW Kansas, SE Colorado, NE New Mexico, or the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles, you know the closest Hunt Tests are typically 4+ hours away. However, I just received a flyer from the Garden City (KS) Kennel Club and they are looking for interested parties to host, volunteer, and attend a...

Thanks for all the comments.

With temps above 90 degrees before 10:00 am and climbing to at or above 100 I am concerned about the dogs health, but also don't want to miss training time. So how hot is too hot to train? There is not a great deal of humidity in SW KS, but the temps are blistering. Any suggestions would be apprecia...

Good lookin' little pup. Congrats and enjoy...Brenda's doing it right down there. I've got a female out of the first Fritz x Izzy litter and we love her!

wfkgsps

To have a bold, confident pup you need to give your pup contact with birds. One way you can do this is use a locked wing pigeon. Use a confined area so she can't run off, then toss it out in front of her. Let her start handling birds. If she retreives great, but you're not working on that. She needs...

For those of you who live in town, how do you store quail? I've got a nice set-up with kennels and a pigeon coop, but a flight pen is out of the question. What other options are out there? Pictures would be much appreciated.

Thanks

At what age are pups/dogs ready to be put on a bark collar? I've got a young one that barks, but I've been hesitant to put one on her.

wfkgsps

Brenda just informed me that this pup was a littermate to my female...what great puppies as you already know. Sorry for loss.

Sharon-
Pardon me for the hijack, but you guys/gals elaborate on your drive calls or whistles. I get the concept, but what do you use?

Does this fall under the theory that no dog can produce himself or is there another reason?

I would like to go to a few "new" Hunt Tests, but I'm not on their premium mailing list. Where can I find the online registration?

Is the wingworks gamebag a rear loading vest only or can you front load it as well?

That pretty much sums it up...give her time.

Thanks for the help. If you have a bold, tough dog, you might put it on a checkcord and stop the chase that way. Lets just say he about dislocated both of my shoulders when he hit the end of the cc! :D You are not disciplining the dog around birds, you are disciplining the dog for failing to stand s...

Let me give everyone a little background first. This spring/summer I began the process of breaking my first dog. He is a 4 year old GSP that passed his JH around year one, but I didn't have the time, resouces, or know-how to pursue the SH/MH level at that time. Fast-forward to this spring, I learned...

Great pictures! Is hunting from horseback controlled by individual state wildlife departments? If so, how many states allow it?

wfkgsps

My personal choice , if I wanted to comepte with the dog would be to break both dogs steady to wing and shot and keep them there...but that is not the easiest thing to do when you are in a hunting mode rather than a training mode. If you are not will ing to do what is necessary(pass up shots, corre...

This young guy needs one too. Between the e-collar remote, launcher remote, pistol, and clicker I ran out of hands...oh yeah...there's a cc in there somewhere
