I shoot the feather. Great gun could carry it all day. Actually got it for my wife to use. Something light for her to carry. I think I end up using it more. The kick is soft. I use it mainly for grouse and early phez. I like my red label better but it gets heavy carrying that around all day. The thi...

Nice pics. I like that little guy with his nose down. Sure that one isn't a female? haha

Adam Dahlstrom

Thanks, and nice job to you and your dog.

Red River Valley Chapter out of Fargo, ND. The test was in Leonard, ND.

Adam Dahlstrom

Just NA tested my dog yesterday. To make a long story short Stormy is taking after her dad (Gable). She received a perfect 112 prize I.

Adam Dahlstrom

Brenda thought we were switching you over to wires?

Adam Dahlstrom

Thanks Ron and Brenda. Just trying to represent the wires. haha

Ron, working on the patches. Just been a little busy with work and trialing and haven't seen my contacts.

Just got done with a long but good week. My wirehair, Gable's Haywire (Gable), just won the Mid-North NSTRA Regional and got his NSTRA Championship while doing it on May 29. We then made the road trip down to Waverly, NE to compete in the Owen's National. We made the first cut and it was on to round...

Rusty runs 13th brace on A Field on June 2nd.

Adam Dahlstrom

I'm going down. I haven't been there but heard it's nice.

Adam Dahlstrom

Thanks Greg. Just getting my feet wet. I don't plan on doing any cometitions or bench rest stuff as of now. That being said I didn't plan on having more than one HUNTING dog. Now I have three that are or will be TRIALING/HUNTING. Funny how that happens. Anyhow, if I start reloading which I am thinki...

Adam Dahlstrom

Hi guys, thanks for replying. I ended up getting a really good deal on a Leupold vx3 scope 4.5x14 with a 50mm lens with a varmint hunters reticle. The guy only had it on his gun for a month. He replaced it with the same exact thing in a higher power. He is handicapped and doesn't go far from his tru...

Adam Dahlstrom

Does anyone have any info on this gun? I am looking at getting one. I don't do a lot of coyote hunting but would like it for the occasional yote, skunk or coon that comes my way. What would you put on it for a scope? I was thinking a Nikon Coyote Special or a vx 3 by leupold 3.4x10-40. The leupold i...

Adam Dahlstrom

Sorry about your dog by the way. I was wondering where you were from since I run NSTRA and I am from ND. If you were on the western edge you could come to a few trials. Milwaukee is a little far for me but (12 hours) may be fine for you. Anyway you're always welcome to run here if you start. As far ...

Adam Dahlstrom

This comes from the rule book. b. A dog must be eligible to be registered with a recognized registry to enter any NSTRA trial. 1. NSTRA recognizes the NSTRA, AKC, FDSB, and CKC registries. However, regardless of which registry is used, the dog must be eligible to be registered in the NSTRA registry ...

Adam Dahlstrom

What exactly are you looking for? (what traits?,certain titles?)

Jason Norton has a real nice male that has done a lot in NSTRA. He is producing great pups. That dog can find birds when the others are struggling. Ask Ron about Cosmo he has hunted behind him.

Adam Dahlstrom

I'm sure every one knows by now but here are the top 4.

1st - Nolan/Rusty; 2nd - Scott/Fritz; 3rd - Adam/Blazer; 4th - Paul/Minnie

Adam Dahlstrom

Talked to Nolan and he said Rusty made it. Thats all I know

Adam Dahlstrom

Any results on the Grand National?

Adam Dahlstrom

Hey Ron were you talking about that litter out of Pilot and I can't remember the females name. Anything you can tell me about them? I liked the looks of Pilot. I noticed him when I went to check out Wilson at Dixon's camp. Springpoint, my wire is to the side. He is has plenty of range for what I do ...

Adam Dahlstrom

I don't have one but according to the trainer my wirehair was with he would put on 14-16 miles in about 2 hours. Is this any good? I have no idea of what a wirehair usually does. What does an AKC horseback dog run? I run NSTRA and hunt on foot and this is pretty good for what I do. Also, what kinda ...

Adam Dahlstrom

I would try Nolan Huffman. He did a great job with my wire. He knows the NSTRA game and will probably travel through IN on his way out west. I met him along the interstate to drop my dog off. Anyhow he did good in my book and is real nice guy. He won't give you any B.S. either he'll tell you straigh...

Adam Dahlstrom

Does it work for whining? (the TT)

Adam Dahlstrom

How did the National turn out?

Adam Dahlstrom

Any word on the other placements? My Wire missed that cut that I mentioned earlier by 10 points. That 50 back hurt him. I still think he had a good week. He was one of two wires entered. Maybe if we got a better second draw we could have moved on but thats the way the game is played. Gotta beat em a...

Adam Dahlstrom

Gable beat Fritz 3/3/b to 2/2/b. I don't think it will be enough though. He was sitting on 8th with a number off dogs left to run. Sounds like he ran pretty good. His finds were in the mid to low 80s and retrieves in the mid to high 80s. 50 on the back. Can't remember the obedience and ground covera...

Adam Dahlstrom

My wire Gable got in. (avatar dog) He has a tuff draw tomorrow with Crosswinds Truckin Fritz. Nolan got a couple in I think he said rusty and brass but don't quote me on it. I was kinda side tracked when he told me Gable made it in. In A field Blazer and Adam fellers took first 5/5, 2nd doc ramsey w...

Adam Dahlstrom

Thanks for the reply on the acute cases. Was the imodium for the humans or what?

Adam Dahlstrom

They should be fine in the box as long as it is inclosed and the wind can't get em. Just make sure they have plenty of good bedding. Hay, straw or wood chips work good. I would stay away from blankets, etc. Dogs could chew em up and then you have a big problem if they get it suck in their bowels. I ...

Adam Dahlstrom

Could this be used on acute cases or is it a daily thing? Just had two with brown squirt guns out the rear. It was caused by bad bacteria. I took them in after a couple days on rice and burger with no results. This would be way cheaper than a $100 vet bill but I wasn't sure if it was more of a gimmi...

Adam Dahlstrom

I think you need to feed at night and also a small portion in the morning earlier the better. (1/2 cup to 1 cup) Also, I let my dogs out on a check cord about a half hour before I run to help with this. I think they need a little something in them to produce energy for the second brace of the day. T...

Adam Dahlstrom

Bozeman boot by Schnees. They are the only way to go IMO. They cost more than what you would like to spend though. Never had a water problem with mine. If you go with the Danners I wouldn't get the pronghorns. I went through 3 pairs in less than a year. They kept leaking water even just walking in d...

Adam Dahlstrom

I don't have the experience that some of the others do, but, looks like they may be pretty hairy. I like a nice tight coat. I agree with brenda and Fuzz. Coat should be one of the last things to pick. Just recently kept a dog out of a litter for stud fee and really didn't like the coat at 8 weeks (s...

Adam Dahlstrom

No problem. just thought I would mention it. What is your idea if you don't mind sharing? I am always looking for ways to improve. I also have a young pup that will need intro not to long from now.

Adam Dahlstrom

kninebirddog,

I personally see nothing wrong with just using your pro, but I do see your point of the smaller collar. Just to let you know if you didn't. You can buy the collar only and use it with your pro. TT says you can get a 1/2 mile range doing this.

Adam

Adam Dahlstrom

Sorry I was wondering if you had a number on the total for the whole trial. If you were getting close to 128 or not.

Adam Dahlstrom

I don't know what you guys are talking about but I have a tuff time getting on land here in ND. I think the birds took a hit too. We had a wet fall, hard winter and wet spring. Not good for young birds. Alot of CRP is coming out too. I think the "Good Old Days" are coming to an end.

Adam Dahlstrom

I hope it happens for you. How many dogs you got entered?

Adam Dahlstrom

haven't been on for a long time but my friend told me to check out my post. There is one this weekend. if you send me your email I can forward you some stuff. Saturday would be a good day to check things out. It is regionals so only the dogs that are champs or have placed this year will be running. ...

Adam Dahlstrom

PM sent

Adam Dahlstrom

Still need dogs for May 2 and 3 if anyone is interested. Trial will be held just west of Oakes, ND.

Adam

Adam Dahlstrom

Just had it done. Cost me $35 per dog. Any pros or cons with micro chip compaired to tattoo? My wire has both and my shorthair just the chip.

Adam Dahlstrom

Ever thought of running NSTRA? We hold a lot of trials about 70 miles south of Valley City. We would love to have you. We are always looking for new members and it's a great way to extend your hunting season. It also gives you that extra little push to get out and train. When are you moving. By the ...

Adam Dahlstrom

Just would like to remind everyone that the mid-north NSTRA region will be starting their trialing season April 18-19. There will be trials almost every weekend from then until Memorial Day. Most will be held near Oakes, ND. We are always looking for new members. My trial is on May 2-3 and could sti...

Adam Dahlstrom

Rob, I feed Purina Pro Plan Performance and my dogs are doing great on it. I have an adult and a pup on it. I have talked to many other breeders and they do the same. They say it works great for them too. It just makes it easier when feeding (only one food to worry about) and in ND I can get it for ...

Adam Dahlstrom

If Ivomec doesn't work on tapes what does everyone do to treat them? Switch everyother month with something else or not worry about them? Just wondering I am going to start ivomec the first of the month and was just wondering if I need to get something for tapeworms too. Also, sorry if this was on t...

Adam Dahlstrom

My vote is for James Meger. He is working on a print of my wirehair right now. He just happened to see my dog and asked if he could do a painting with Gable in it. Pretty cool I thought. I am a little bias though.

Adam Dahlstrom

I know this thread is a little old but I am new to the form and thought I would throw in my two cents. I have three dogs one 6 year old boxer, one 2 year old wirehair and a pup wirehair. I have been feeding my boxer Canidae's ALS for about 4 years now. He really does good on it. Before switching him...
