I did 2" in 12' on the slab and I believe 4" in 20' on the drain.

Once a dog has a little hunting experience they should quickly learn to distinguish between live and dead game.

Took Diemo out over the weekend and got a nice boar for the pen to use with our upcoming pups. Here is a video clip someone shot after we unloaded the boar and I was carrying Diemo back to my truck. Love his enthusiasm. http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy151/mschlapa/th_VID_20131124_144059_zps2136...

My friend is looking for a WPG and this picture impressed him. Need info for him. This pic was posted here in 2013 http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a521/Sharon440/IMG_7106_zpsbe3ef163.jpg This is a nice photo, very clear and obviously taken with a quality camera. I have to ask, what about it imp...

If a dog out runs its nose what good is it? I require a good search out of my dogs but also need the use of nose.

Georgia Boy

What kind of squirrel dog do they make? Some will tree a little but if all you want is a squirrel dog there are many breeds that would be much better, feist or cur mainly. These dogs are mainly bred for putting teeth on game. You can look on youtube and see tons of video people have put up there fr...

Yes he handled it by himself, I just had back surgery less than 5 weeks ago and there was no way I could crawl under the house. He is currently the only DJT I have, one of my buddies has several. I use him as a flushing dog some when I hunt down by the river, there is lots of very thick cover that n...

Georgia Boy

He tracks like crazy, will tree some but not like a hound. They are more opportunistic hunters, bred for earth work mainly. They tree much better on bear or lions where they can see something when they look up a tree. Hard to see a squirrel or other small game in our thick unmanaged southern forests.

Georgia Boy

Here are a few pictures of our DJT Diemo (Little D) with his catch of the day. We got a call from a plumber friend who was working under a old farm house. He said something growled at him and it freaked him out. We took Diemo over to remove it so he could finish his job. http://i787.photobucket.com/...

Georgia Boy

Hmmm!! Here is another take on it :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA7IK0fHlbQ Exactely, one of many things to be learned. If I were concerned I would not be able to catch the pup I would let it drag a light CC but there is no way I would keep it on a leash constantly if I were trying to devel...

It probably wont be long :roll:

Georgia Boy

If there is no immediate danger like near by vehicle traffic I would definitely be letting my pup off lead. That is how they start to learn things about hunting and build their confidence.

Georgia Boy

Most dogs that have a desire to pick up game can learn "hold" in a matter of days.

This book is a very good read well worth the money.

I personally have never seen this book but have heard it recommended before, probably a good place to start.

Georgia Boy

I teach my dog to track blood not scent, if you shoot a deer that is in a group how will the dog know which deer to track if he is following scent? Way to much to go into here.

Georgia Boy

My RRA is set up as a varmint rifle and is incredibly accurate even with 55 FMJ factory ammo, consistently shooting ragged 1 hole groups at 100 yards. It has the 2 stage match trigger and breaks clean.

Georgia Boy

Agree with both of the answers you have got so far.

Georgia Boy

I have owned a Bushmaster, Armalite, DPMS and a RRA. I like the RRA the best and highly recommend them.

Georgia Boy

Its never to old if the dog is capable of doing the work and physically able.

Georgia Boy

I have used a few different methods, lifting on the loose skin just in front of the rear leg (flank), pinching lips on teeth, and have also used a e-collar, just depends on the dog. Starting with a proper FF program helps with these issues. Some dogs are what they call "hard mouthed", or even game e...

Georgia Boy

Get a live duck, tape its wings or pull some flight feathers so it cant fly, turn it loose and let her chase and catch it. Builds prey drive, that will tell you pretty quick where you are at.

Georgia Boy

First off, I will say all my dogs have been exposed to, and had in their mouth, game of many species before ever reaching the age to begin the FF process. I use some game in the early stages, which for me is teaching hold. Once the dog is holding a bumper well, so I can leave it on the table and go ...

Georgia Boy

I always incorporate game into my FF program because I have hunting dogs.

Georgia Boy

I would start with a dead duck and introduce it on the table, or however you did in your FF program, just like a bumper. Then the dog will know what it is supposed to do

Georgia Boy

Evan, I am not sure what you recommend in your program but I usually go from the table, to walking fetch, then to the pile before moving on to anything else. I am not sure what the OP expects for a finished product but he should keep in mind that he is working with a GSP. All these marks and memory ...

Georgia Boy

UFTA may be an option.

Georgia Boy

One thing to remember is every dog is not he same, what works with one may not with another. Over the years I have learned things from many different people and have had to be able to adapt my training methods to individual dogs. That's what makes a successful trainer IMO.

Georgia Boy

Thanks guys. Our Chapter (Southeast Hunter Chapter) of our breed club (VDD/GNA) has worked with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the KY DNR providing blood tracking dogs for hunters during their Elk hunts for many years. We made some pamphlets and also shot a video segment for them that was air...

Here is a nice GA 10 point shot yesterday evening by one of my friends and recovered this morning. The dog, Angus (Gus), is one of our DD's and a littermate to our female Alma that was just bred. Gus did a great job tracking the deer over 500 yards to make the recovery. http://i787.photobucket.com/a...

Georgia Boy

Thank you for the replys and thank you Sharon for the links both are good reads and good info. I will make sure to socialize my new puppy and introduce him to many different environments and situations while making them positive for him. I will also try to chill out and give my brain a rest cause I...

Georgia Boy

It is currently hunting season so most clubs are not really having training days now. If you chose a good breeder they should be a valuable resource to you. I would also suggest joining VDD/GNA and JGV/USA

Good point

Is that the rational the folks that have bred English Pointer into them use

They will be registered right along with the GSP/Pointer crosses

Georgia Boy

You may be able to do a few things to help build a dogs confidence but they are only going to range out to a distance they are comfortable with. It is much easier to take it out of them than put it in. How far is your dog ranging now?

Georgia Boy

Where did you get your pup from? Your breeder SHOULD be able to help you with this. I would also suggest joining the VDD if you haven't already, they have many training opportunities where you can get some hands on guidance from more experienced folks which is very beneficial, especially if you are ...

That is what we use too, it is antibiotic and analgesic. It is also possible she could have a infection of the nail bed.

I use the command OFF, NO sounds like WHOA. Stepping on the rear feet can work, so can a knee but I pinch in between their toes when the jump up, I have had the best results with that personally.

Just got a call from a friend that went out to find a 4 year old male dog that cant close his mouth. He was fine yesterday but today his mouth is half open and he can only close it a little. You can take your hands and close it for him so its not like lock jaw but more like some kind of paralysis. H...

They didn't allow cameras, on Sat they had a professional taking some pics that folks had the option to buy. A big storm moved in about 3pm there and she closed up shop and wasn't there on Sun when we attended. I tried to post a few pics from the trial and of our duck hunt in LA last week in another...

Georgia Boy

Some people may disagree with this but I honestly believe there is a genetic component to being gun shy. I will also say there could be environmental factors that may contribute as well and I do a proper introduction to gunfire with all pups at my kennel.

Georgia Boy

It is made by Diamond and you can find a comparable Diamond formula usually a few bucks cheaper.

Now that we made it through the HZP I took Alma and Diemo down to the boar trial over the weekend. It was our first time attending one, and also the first exposure for both of them on a 250+ lb boar. I entered them together and we finished 11th out of 43 entries and that's running against the pros. ...

Great job and congrats.

It is the most effective way to clear it up.
