Anyone who thinks they can compete and win against the big strings of the Tracys,Eisenhart and Kinklear are just Spittin' In The Wind and wasting their money,but it's their money I guess.The field trial game is more or less Menopolized by them.The shear number of good dogs they show up with Squashes...

Paper Doesn't Make The Dog.I've seen a few Real Good ones that had what I call Mutant pedigrees that I'd consider toilet paper.And I've seen some out of Knockout pedigrees that I wouldn't feed.

Vagas on here can probably fill you in more if he reads this.

BoJack

No,Wehle never owned him.He's in Harold Ray's string.Not sure if Harold or Doug own him or not.He's doing quite a bit of winning.Out of Fibber McGee.I'm sure he's got some pups out there somewhere.Have heard some comments from different ones the last few months that they'll breed to him.

BoJack

Great news.

BoJack

My mistake,I misread one of the posts.Them small ones will fool you sometimes.Because she may not run big enough for Cover Trials doesn't mean she won't make a hunting dog.

BoJack

Most likely just a bonafide Runt,like the breeder says.The last Setter I bought I took her bercause she was the smallest in her litter and had other things I liked.I like smaller dogs,more snappier in the field and more agile in the woods,and some more stamina then the bigger more heavier dogs.She l...

BoJack

Great news.Hope he comes through with a clean bill of health.

BoJack

Call Ferrel,he'll tell you.

BoJack

"bleep" hate to hear that.We're pulling for your guy for sure.I remeber Strut got bit a couple years ago and was in bad shape,but he pulled through.I'm sure your boy will too.Prayers are with him.

BoJack

Very nice Oscar!

BoJack

No One breed is better then another.There are good grouse dogs in most of the Pointing breeds.No matter what the breed they have to have the genetics and Intelligence to learn how to handle the unpredictable tactics of the Ruff.They have to learn to point as soon as they hit the Scent cone and not c...

BoJack

One Fine looking pup.Looks like she's ready to go too.

BoJack

Hellava litter! I was only one off.Didn't you say that free pups go to the 3 closest guessers!? They're gonna nickname you Rossrail before long,ha ha.

BoJack

Vagas,
It's only a matter of time for your guy,it'll come.

BoJack

Super for Amazin'.They named him right.Some of that ole Elhew blood showing through again.

BoJack

BoJack

Bob Wehle of Elhew kennels did on more then one ocassion with success.

BoJack

Good Luck Vagas!

BoJack

Sounds like a great trip for sure, and it doesn't get any better then that.Great pics also.

BoJack

Congrats to the Winner and Runner-Up. In a trial Anything can happen.And like you said Ross Jack's still a Derby, going against alot of more experieneced dogs.He gave it a shot and it had to be a good experience for him.Barring low or no bird contacts it must've been a good one with all the quality ...

BoJack

birddogger ,
That could be true to an extent.

BoJack

I don't think Letting a 3 month old pup learn to use his nose to find birds is Formal training.It's part of the learning process that teaches them to know what they were bred to do,like Ezzy says.Lots of walks in the woods and fields to explore everything new sure,yard work sure,in due time.The guy ...

BoJack

I don't think there's any Experts on this board,including Ezzy.Maybe some with more training and dog experience.But then again there's more then one way to train dogs and solve some of the problems also. You can find some good opinions and information here for sure.

BoJack

Definately not too young for the pup to be getting some experience finding and pointing birds.Was there any Negative experiences on it's eralier encounter with birds? Like the birds spooking her when flushing or flying in her face? If so it could be causing her to blink-(bird avoidence).Are you sure...

BoJack

Georgia Derby Classic,cross psoted from another board: I know the 1st place dog was Bitter Sweet Alibi - Luke E., Second was also Luke but not sure which dog (Erin's something), Third was Caladen's Rail Hawk - George Tracy. I saw Alibi, and Rail Hawk run. Two very nice races with good bird work Cong...

BoJack

Anyone can go and watch, but you'll neeed a horse to ride to see the dogs run.Some info on the link below.

BoJack

Thanks ElhewPointer.
Luke Eisenhart won 1st and 2nd in the Derby Classic and George Tracy won 3rd,but didn't get the dog's names.

BoJack

Good luck ElhewPointer,
Do you have a list for the dogs in the Invitational? Can't seem to find it.

BoJack

Hannabell's son Coveyrise Off Lee Amazin' (Elhew Sinbad/Hannabell)who is also running is just off his win of the Tex Championship and his 4th Ch win this season.He could be on the way to a record like his Momma.Ace also has that sweet Elhew blood on top.Lots of top dogs and handlers there with alot ...

BoJack

Watch out for Elhew Hannabell,she's fresh off her Endurance Championship win (90 min heats),and her 16th Championship win.What a girl! Between her and her half sisters Elhew Swami and Elhew Sunflower they've won 47 Champoinships.Now that's Awsome.

BoJack

Man he's a Hoss,Nice!

BoJack

ka_key02 ,
Thanks,he usually hit his birds hard.

BoJack

Birdogg, No,my avatar dog is disceased.I posted about him a year or so ago.I have a year old Damascus grandson out of a Jefferson female.I also have a pup coming in April out of another Damascus son and a double bred Fibber female from Nitro Kennels.My avatar dog also come from Nitro six years ago,a...

BoJack

I'd say it's quite a Fete for anyone with any breed.The results of hard work, dedication,and the desire to win,no matter what the competition.Congrats for sure!

BoJack

I purchased a pup from JD and Johny sixs years ago.I had owned Setters for years.The dog totally changed my mind about Pointers.He was Broke at 8 mos old, Super nose and the Quickest natural retriever I've owned(Shooter-my avatar dog).I'm Eagerly awaiting another pup from their Gold/Hocus Pocus litt...

Tri-Tronics-American Quality,Dependability, and Service.Sport Dog warehouses Thousands of parts,because of the regularity of having to replace them.

BoJack

Time will tell.Keep us posted as the situation progresses.

BoJack

Shine that pup on down the road.Sounds like Dominate Agreesion to me and it'll just grow with age.

BoJack

Yea so after two years of questions we're anxious to know his decision.
Well Up????????
Don't be bashful now.

BoJack

Good Post Gunner, And the part that you stated-"I believe there is so very much more to hunting than just the shooting and killing of game" couldn't be more true in my book.With me it used to be the number of birds in the bag.But now I get much more pleasure and thrill out of watching a good pointin...

BoJack

The other picture posted and the barrel mentioned are Recall Pens(the one pictured is a nice setup though).A Johnny house allows the birds to fly up and down and keeps them Flight Conditioned.BirdS will fly Up to light and sun and back down to feed and covey up.Didn't use any plans with the one show...

You Finally bought a dog??! What did you get?

BoJack

"NFC DC Pacolet's Cheyenne Sam"
Didn't Delmar Smith run Sam back in the 70-80's? I know he ran all-age Britts back then and cleaned quite a few clocks with them in open all age trials.

BoJack

birddogger,
Didn't imply it was the Rule,I used the word "some".And the old pro is in the FTHOF.I agree with the last part of your post.

BoJack

As previously posted Strut was the winningest derby in History.He ran at the Nationals two times and will probably be there again this Feb.He almost died about a year and a half ago from a rattlesnake bite.Ross Callaway at Caladen kennels has two good males out of Strut that he bred. http://www.cala...

BoJack

Ron R,
Have to agree with that.
