Hit home for sure , lost both my dogs in the last 8 months .

seadog

It is desired that a DD goes what we call " loud " on fur . In testing they check to see if the dog is loud ( barking ) on sight or fresh scent or both , IMO both is GREAT . So the dog points siting fur , the fur wild flushes the dog gives chase , the race is on . The fur can be feral cats , racoon ...

seadog

Every GWP or DD that I had will tree fur and bark treed as well as break ice ,

CONGRATS

seadog

Have a couple of friends with them for the last 15 yrs or so and its pretty much what Trekmoor said ....... One has to watch which kennel they get the dogs from , being a breed with a limited gene pool there is some genetic problems .

seadog

Have 6 Dogtra ( 3 quail , 3 pheasant ) . When not inuse I release the spring tension to keep the springs from stretching out . Cordless drill works great .

seadog

I use 3 90 % of the time and I am thinking of getting 3 more receivers to have the option of putting out all of my traps ( 3 QL , 3 PL ) or any combination up to 6 . I go through a few birds because if Fido is not locked up by around 35 yds it is launch time , so for me multi traps work .

seadog

topher , I hear ya . When one considers the time you spent on training , gas costs to get to your training area , cost of the best flying birds you can get , etc . The cost of good traps is pennies .

seadog

Dogtra X 2 ... Was there not a post a NUMBER of years ago on how to make an manual into a remote .

seadog

If you resend the dog there MUST be something for the dog to find . NEVER dry fire your dog .

seadog

I know of a dog that died from choking on a tennis ball while the owner looked on in horror . IMO the risk is not worth it , so No balls of ANY kind for my hounds .

seadog

I for one am LOVING this , not to mention a law suit against them . Finally , we have begun to be proactive instead of reactive ... GO TEAM GO ...

seadog

Golf balls work great . The hen is moving the nest site because it has been discovered by a predator , you . Had a free range Bantam that lived with the pigeons and untill I left a golf ball or two it always a game of find me now .

seadog

As Birddogz said , PROVED by DNA . I know of yotes ( if thats what you want to call them ) that pull the scales down to 80 lbs . As Sharon said , it's a risk every time you run your dog . What scares me the most is the decoy yote / wolf that runs your dog back to the pack .

seadog

DD because they are more to my style of hunting and the coat is more suited to our climate .

seadog

I guess that the breed standard for coat is " getting old " .

seadog

You got mail.

seadog

I'am in SHOCK ..... As these people ( ARAs) also would stop any/all testing of new drugs/treatments on animals I propose that any drug even life saving drugs/ treatments be DENIED to them . In short walk the talk .

seadog

As was said , set him up for it and then lower the boom on him . You should be able to take food/treats/ birds away from any time YOU see fit not when he figures its OK .

seadog

Now how many ARAs will read this !!!!!!

seadog

Use a sturdy muskie fishing rod with lets say very heavy line , bird is tied to line, flip bird into a bush , bring dog up on the downwind side on a check cord , handler can whoa dog or hold dog back or whatever , while his helper has the fishing rod to remove bird if handler can't control dog !!!!!

seadog

You could try replacing the wing with a live pigeon and do as was said .

seadog

Voted "no"..... But when he was a pup he did like certain kinds ; rabbit , goose and the ultimate MINE . As you can imagine it made a day in the field /marsh somewhat of a challenge as he would double back and have a snack , paper and all . One time while duck hunting I let loose in the swamp (water...

seadog

In England the proposal is, no docking of show dogs but working dogs would be allowed . Would be a HUGE problem if your a breeder that breeds for the whole package (the way it should be), performance as well as beauty (conformation to the breed standard) .

seadog

seadog

Marg you must shoot a SxS , cause you just let loose with both barrels :shock: :shock: . Breed/breeding standards, what the @$&* is that ?

seadog

Can't help with site thing. Anyways, there's a few us here

seadog

Very well put together. One can see that much thought was given .

seadog

Yup, VERSATILE means just that upland, small game, waterfowl and blood track.

seadog

Don't know who your judges where at this time, but it will be in the chapter newsletter . I did hear something about the bird box. Actually I'am surprized, NO, shocked that they didn't think about the box , the wind, location to track. I'am even more shocked that the senior judge didn't realize this...

seadog

Kev, they haven't sent out the latest newsletter yet but rumour has it (yes, I was asking some the workers) that there was a 5 month old shorthair that was a really good dog . WAS that you ? If the track is your problem put the pup on some wild birds, there should be some in your area . Then run the...

seadog

I use epi-otic

seadog

Excellent site .

seadog

From the looks of things you will be using foxs in the near future. Good luck !!!!!!

seadog

Sorry, should be a large N in net.

seadog

Try, Huntingnet.com and post it in the regions section.

What Catfish said.

seadog

I like shooting those prarrie chickens, score : me - 5000

seadog

You have just rubbed a nerve with this post. First let me say that the people that developed the wirehair (aka DD) and the shorthair (aka DK) [ notice I left out pointer , they are versatiles,NOT pointers in the true sence] reconize the black phase. So who, over here in N. America has the right or t...

seadog

Took a hard look at the weather conditions and myself (what I hunt). As I'am not an upland hunter but rather a versatile hunter the dog must be able to work on small game , waterfowl (breaking ice for a retrieve if needed), upland and blood tracking of large game if required. Must have a coat to han...

seadog

Kev , curious is all. Who you getting your GSP from ?

seadog

The dog training/trialing that they are talking about are the fenced in areas that they use for training hounds to run fox, wolf, and rabbits . This is just the begining of things to come , stay tuned for the next loonnie tune . Due to certain problems at a local slaughter house (accused of processi...

seadog

I guess "bad word here" is closer than I thought.

seadog

Well , if add a white wishbone on the forehead/muzzle and throw in a few whiskers on the muzzle you would have, as close as "bleep" is to swearing, a pic of my wirehair. You just got to love the black colour phase.

seadog

What snips said.

seadog

Dog training is the mother of inventions.

seadog

Kevin , I'am in the BIG smoke just east of you (TO). The market is in Stouffville (sp) just to the north of TO, plan on being there for 6am sharp for a full selection of birds. The going price for barn pigeons is 3 a head but being a regular with one of them I get a prefered rate ( this past Sat I p...

seadog

You don't want to know what I pay for them. ( for barn birds 2.50 ea. from a farmers market , from bird control 1.00 ea. for 100 or more birds)

seadog

Unfortunately we can't hunt doves in Ont. , but we make a good nursery for you guys, LOL.

I wouldn't use a young pointing dog for this, unless the dog is FULLY trained and finished ,also, running on pheasants would be a no no .

seadog

We use chukars and pigeons to steady up the dogs and then move on to pheasants. I find that over 95% of the chukars that I plant stay where I put them ( put them to sleep) as long as they have over head cover.
