Has anyone tried these launchers? How do they operate and hold up? Or any experiences you have had with EZ launchers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I am going to be in the asme boat as you when my male finishes his master. I checked into it and it is about 200.00 for the analysis and drawing I think 6 straws, and about 60.00 a year for storage, I am sure this will change and is regionally different. I hope that helps some

Jet maybe a little more tact in your explanation. Jason, Don't shoot any birds for him if he will not point them, and yes strong swirling winds can make it hard to scent birds. I take it Rocco is a pointing dog? Once he figures out he cannot catch the bird and has to point them then you should start...

Half brother to Half sister has shown to work extremely well in some cases. Now saying that the dog being linebred on would have to be genetically clean or not passing any bad traits off. Remember along with all the good traits that you may get with that you intensify the bad traits as well.

Very well said Wildrose, I agree. Having said that I think I agree with everyones choices here and would include a few more. 1. Bob Merkel and Wrenegade kennels has a very nice stud dog named Gus throwing nice puppies has a litter running in the futurity this week. 2. Dennis Brath of Cadens kennels ...

Got the second pass of JH today. He did extremely well today, better scores and it showed he handled better and really hit the bird field with a lot of drive, he was snappy. He had 4 finds and a split find with a bracemate. The Northern Illinois Weim club put on a good trial all ran smoothly and ver...

Thanks guys. I think I could do that every weekend.

I ran my first hunt test today with a pass for my first leg of junior, received 7's and 8's. With any luck Jack and I will pass tomorrow. Now I am looking forward to this coming spring more now to finish his junior and start and hopefully finish senior, woo hoo.

An 8 week old pup 1000.00 max.
A year old pup green no training 1000.00
A started dog 12- 15mos holding point some obedience 1200.00 - 1500.00
All of this being that the parents have some titles.
Just my opinion.

I have a pair of Irish setters that I bought about a month ago, love them, very comfy although they are a higher boot. insulated and goretex very lightweight I think they were 2.2 lbs. each. 1000 grams of thinsulate and I have been wearing them in warm weather with no problems at all. And bought the...

It may be the pigeons. Some dogs do not point pigeons or planted birds well.

Dodge only has 6 connecting rods, Ford and Chevy have 8. And as what was said before that chart does not show the current fuel prices as diesel is .50 higher here.
Get what you really want otherwise you will always be saying what if?

If that is what you will be pulling for the most part I would lean more towards the gasmodel, have it re-tuned with a superchips tuner with 3 variations for your performance. 1. A tow performance tune. 2. A fuel savings performance tune. 3. A high octane tune for maximum horsepower, the tuners have ...

I made the switch from Diamond to Black Gold as well and like it. To me the bags seem to smell fresher when I open them. Maybe it's just me. My dogs have smaller firmer stools than when they were on Diamond. But like everyone else says find what your dog likes and looks good on. I currently feed my ...

Congrats to you,

I have seen Sarah run Angus that wirehair a very driven dog and trained well, one of the best wires I have seen. Once again congrats

Just as cesarike has said often times the babies induce more venom, however if a baby copperhead would have bit her yuo should see some signs pretty quickly. The babies sometimes do not put off the odor as the older snakes often do. Venomous snakes as far as I know are deadly at any age. Hope everyt...

Congrats John, heck I will drink with ya anytime,ha ha ha.

Pepper,
What else did Dennis have to say about the hun?

lvrgsp

lvrgsp

Greg, With either combo, the diesel or the v-10, or the 5.4 you can buy a superchips tuner from troyer performance, troyer is the best when it comes to fords and he can tune it for pulling power and then you can change it for gas mileage when not pulling. Check out his website, Troyer performance. l...

Sounds like a well deserved win John. That has to be an awesome feeling sitting in the saddle watching your dog just rim the place. Congrats.

Just goes to show you, never can count the standy dog out.

Congrats Pat,

Dennis is like allstate, your dogs are in good hands when with him. Good luck in Eureka.

Good I'm glad to hear that, most of my tests will probably be run at
Des Plaines.

Hey sounds good. I was hoping to get his junior done this fall, but I will work on finishing it in the spring now it looks like.

I live in central IL. Just south of Bloomington, it's about 90 miles from Des Plaines. I wanted to go to the wire trial but I'm pouring concrete this weekend for my patio and sidewalk, that way I have a free hunting pass for the season from my wife..........ha ha.

Very good. I thought that was the way it should be. Thanks for the reply.

Are hunt tests breed specific? I would guess they are not but was curious. My goal is to get a master on Jack and since many clubs use the Des Plaines ground for hunt tests it gives me a close venue with more runs. I know the weim club has a hunt test coming up in october thats why i am asking. :lol...

I like to BBQ & bake them as well and what you can do is gut em skin em and use bacon as their skin this keeps the meat moist and flavors it as well better than leaving skin on in my opinion.

I think Casper has a good idea lets do some recipes on here?

Dixielands Coolhand Luke was out of a litter Bob Merkel bred. He bred Dixielands Luke to Wrenegades Reno. Reno was out of Luke bred to rawhides vivid dixie. That was a breeding that worked very well for Bob and he repeated several times. Dixielands Jesse was out of Dixielands Luke bred to Samantha S...

I just had the opportunity to visit with Bob at his kennel about 3 weeks ago. I believe you are correct he did breed brook to max and I believe 4 of the 5 out of that litter were fc's with marshall being a nfc.
a good firend of mine owned a dog out of that litter. Good stuff.

Well I have had my Dogtra collar now for about a month, and love it. Some of the things I like is the size of the transmitter about 2"wx6"h and it has a selector knob that has click settings as opposed to the reostat a one mile range and the collar is lite and a good size not as small as some but st...

Grant, I just asked my vet this same question yesterday and his reply was 75.00 to 100.00 that is with sedation and hips and elbows, he is a very good vet, very knowledgeable. The question with sedation is I believe ofa wants to see full muscle relaxation in the hips, so that is the reason for some ...

There were 5 in the litter, they are all nominated for the futurities, 3 of them will be trialing this fall, they have good attitudes I saw 3 of them this last weekend run including my dog, nice dogs power to the front great noses love the water, love people and other dogs should be very interesting...

Thanks Dave. Absolutely worth the wait, great dog in the house and around other dogs, basically just gonna have fun with him and hunt this fall and maybe try a hunt test. Might send him to Texas with Dennis next spring and then work on his master next spring and fall. we'll see how he progresses and...

Sorry still working on the picture. I got him from Dennis Brath of Cadens kennels. He is a frozen semen Windrows saddle tramp (cecil) bred to Jerry Paddocks ( Pepper) pepper dog. Buddy and Morticia. Very nice breeding, nice pups and had a great weekend up at Dennis' place in Wisconsin. Nice training...

lvrgsp

lets see if I can get this to work.

...A picture of the pup I am going to see on Friday, if all goes well I'll be bringing him home. Picture taken in Texas last year on quail he was 7 mos. old at the time.

Are there alot of public hunting grounds or wiha in Iowa, I have always gone to Kansas, I thought about maybe Oklahoma but the drought atlas you have pretty muchcovers the whole central part of the U.S.

Thanks everyone for the reply's, it appears I will not have to do any leasing, as I believe I have found an unbelievable offer on a 11mo. pup.

Anyone hunt west of the missouri river? Have heard that it is less congested with hunters and the dogs really can stretch out. Looking at some info on S. Dakota it appears that the south eastern part of the state is the big bird areas?

Lvrgsp

lvrgsp

Just south of the cheddar curtain? The wis. border maybe,,,,,,,lol good one

lvrgsp

lvrgsp

Thanks for the replys and info. I appreciate all of them.

lvrgsp

lvrgsp

I'm finding that out. Basically you are at the demand of what the owner of the bitch wants which is understandable. I have heard anywhere from 700.00 to 1000.00 or 500.00 and some pups.

lvrgsp

lvrgsp

Can anyone give me a good idea on this? What the terms usually are , and how much it usually cost to lease a bitch for breeding purposes? I would greatly appreciate it.

I knew Jim and lived about 2 hours from him he ran a dog for me for awhile, he was a great man and had great dogs. He was a great asset to this sport in my opinion.
