Re: How many?

Wow, I agree with Vagas and say 11.

Lets see 11 x $$$$$$ = Holy crap !!!

Great idea on the C-section, why risk lossing any of the pups.
Do you know at what age Guard Rail was when he was collected for the donation ?

I don't mean this is a mean way to Sahara, but she looks like Octa-Mom :D :D

Re: Bird scent in snow?

Dogs point mice, meadow larks, and anything else when they are encountered till you teach them not to.

I would say since she has only been worked on pigeons and pen raised birds, that it might take her a while to figure out the new "wild" bird scent - Grouse. But if the snow is dry and it has no moisture in it and the air is dry ,imagine sticking your head in a freezer and hoping to smell a frozen ch...

Re: How cold before bringing dogs inside?

I have pointers also. When it gets really cold I'll bring them into the garage and put them in their Vari-kennels, I then wrap an old comfertor around the kennel. Plus the water pail doesn't even freeze in the garage. Suppose to get to -10 F tonight here. I agree about bringing them all the way into...

Re: EP What line? best bird finders

What is nice to see, is that people still do have such a deep interest in hunting and birddogs. I'm glad to see it didn't ugly. I can only hope the next generation will do the same for birds,dogs and field trials. I agree, where most of us hunt and train dogs dogs for a hobby, Vagas has a PASSION fo...

Re: EP What line? best bird finders

If I had such a litter, the first thing I would do is to hand select the one or two pups I wanted to keep for myself. Then I would be looking to place the rest of the litter with top level field trialers... you know, the ones with the money to have the dog professionally trained and campaigned. I w...

Re: EP What line? best bird finders

I agree Elhewpointer, I guess the hundreds and I do mean hundreds of WILD birds that we've shot over our dogs from North Dakota to Texas must of been our imagination. :lol: :lol:

Best of luck finding a true answer to your question on this board !!

Re: EP What line? best bird finders

I think we should be giving him information on specific sire/dam crosses or at least which one's to look for in a pedigree. I'm sure that's what all of us have done we we've decided on a particular breed, no matter what the breed. We then look further into the lineage. I know I wouldn't buy a dog ba...

Jeff, I know your a Vizsla guy, that's how I started out too, had some very nice ones . I live in S.E. Nebraska But when CRP came into the mix I wanted a dog that could cover a little more ground and stay in the same county. So I've had several Elhew bred pointers and I love them. They have a great ...

Tommyboy, I saw her at Nitro Kennel, a friend of mine Mitch bought a puppy out of that litter, he named it Nitro's Orange Crush. I agree with Bojack, your dog looks more like the Dam. You might try Numark Kennel , I'm almost positive they had her for a while and bred her a couple of times. Probably ...

Re: National Open Shooting Dog Championship

That's crazy two inches of snow and 22 degrees !!

Do they release birds for each brace or do they release the all birds before the trail ?

Hopefully for each brace or the birds will have a tough time surviving the storm........

BoJack, I still have some of Christmas issues of American Field and there was a lot of litters where a Damascus pup was $300 a piece or $500 for a pair of pups, and we'd love to have some of that blood so "close up" today.
