Dogs picked up the track at the edge of a food plot on paper company lease land. They tracked it to a stand of young pine where I lost sight of them. I heard them open up so I knew it was fresh scent or in sight. They ran it all the way to the National Forest boundary where it went up the first tree...

Nice work, that rabbit hunting is a lot of fun.

Nice Kennels Georgia Boy. A very well Thought out design. Depending on someone's dog #s this would work awesome. More dogs just add a few more kennels etc. Thinking of putting a whelping/sick bay in my barn and want to use the concrete block this time around, used wood before and it gets chewed and...

Georgia Boy

Georgiaboy, that is a very sharp set up you have. I would love to be able to put together something like that for my next kennel. Did you ever insulate the building? You probably don't have to worry about it getting too cold do you? What are your dimensions on the indoor kennels? Also the dimension...

Georgia Boy

Here is what we did for our indoor kennels.

It is a Sarplaninac that sometimes hunt with the DD and DJT on predators. That was going to be my second guess, so you have DD, DJT, and Sar? You don't like a dog with...

We are in the process of locating dens on a few properties now while also hunting or trapping them. The dens will be worked this spring with the terriers in an effort to help control the population

Georgia Boy

I bird hunt, rabbit hunt, and deer hunt. My preferred method of deer hunting is archery. I have a Bavarian Mountain hound i trained and use to track many many deer. Some we never found but many we do. I can say with 100% confidence that I recover twice as many deer as I would without a dog. Remarka...

Designer breeds ? kind of like breeding for a straight up tail or to hold a head a certain way or a specific color! It is not my thing either, but I bet the market will tell if it is successful or not. :) Well put. No different than the Wessel pointer or any other cross bred mutt. Its all about the...

After I decided not to build my own I went with the tk product.

The only place I can think of if that's all you hunt would be AZ

Georgia Boy

We require tests on all females with in the last 30 days that come into our kennel for breeding and test our stud dog too. We require it of outside males we use also. It only cost us $30-35.00 here, simple blood draw.

There are quail, partridge and pheasant.

Boar and deer

Georgia Boy

Sounds like all he needs is some basic obedience training

Georgia Boy

Where is Al Gore when you need him :roll:

Georgia Boy

I have hunted with one. Their primary use has been for big game, tracking and some retrieving.

Georgia Boy

Sounds like the dog was not properly socialized or exposed to many different things and environments. These things are critical in the development of a pup between 3-6 months. It is also possible the "trainer" wore camouflage clothing regularly and the dog associates it with some negative experience...

Georgia Boy

Diemo

Georgia Boy

That was my whole point. I prefer not to let them develop bad habits I then have to fix.

Georgia Boy

It really depends on what you want out of the dog as a "finished product". I don't think you could ruin it but you may make it harder to get the dog steady if it is breaking on the flush or shot now.

Those are fantastic pics. Thanks. Was he trying to retrieve the pig?

Thanks, he would give it his best shot

Georgia Boy

Haven't really took many pics during the retrieve, most are after the hunt. Here is a few from over the years. http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy151/mschlapa/DSC03770_zpsf62a1700.jpg http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy151/mschlapa/DSC03745_zps07448662.jpg http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy15...

And some dogs are just programed like this and no matter what you do you wont correct it. Give it your best shot and if it doesn't work do what needs to be done.

duckn66 wrote:Awesome. Does he ever find any coons in the hollow logs and tree trunks?

All the time, coons, opossums, we use him on ground hogs, nutria, and in fox and coyote dens along with above ground predator control.

Georgia Boy

Diemo checking out all the brush and log piles along with the hollow trees along the river. Hunted him 3 1/2 hours today, we took 2 quail and produced a large doe that was bedded down.

Georgia Boy

I have conditioned my dogs to lay on their side with their head down while I trim their nails. Also makes it easy to check their undercarriage and feet after hunting.

Georgia Boy

If all you want to know is where your dog is the Astro will be fine. If you need the maps and capabilities to track your dogs movements for training purposes the Alpha is the one you will need. I just bought the Alpha last week but haven't really had the chance to use it much yet.

Georgia Boy

my grandfather used to take a piece of foam and tie a wing to it with small toothpicks poking out right under the feathers so that if the dog clamped down it wouldn't do it again. It worked for him but I would think it would depend on the dog as I would personally be worried this would scare it fro...

Georgia Boy

When I use real birds or wings then my pup goes out and retrieves it but stops half way of returning or doesn't return and start to chew. Should I pull him in with a check cord? Yes, but don't drag him. Use tugs in tandem with the verbal command to come. How old is this dog? EvanG In his first post...

Georgia Boy

Yes or stop giving him real birds.

Georgia Boy

I would suggest a DD

Georgia Boy

We have used buckeye a couple times too.

Ok if any of you have read my previous posts, I have some random questions. This is regarding the selection process. I have tried searching but cant find anything. My question is how does the selection process work? I have put my deposit down and as far as I know I am the only one on the list (bree...

Georgia Boy

I would put him back on the table (if you used one) and revisit the hold command (if you used it) and go back over proper mouth habits with game. Once this is done you should be able to correct this behavior if it occurs again with a nick from the e-collar (if you use one) or give a stern hold comma...

Georgia Boy

We do ours on day 2-3. Cut the tail 40-50%, put a stitch or two in it and super glue dew claw area after removing.

Georgia Boy

The dog also understands the concept of shutting off the pressure. By the OP description not sure his dog does even after a month of training :( And that's what I told him privately by email. My suggestion was starting over with a good program, and make sure the dog really understands all aspects. ...

Georgia Boy

Nerves, anxiety, more of a mental issue IMO. To put weight on a dog you increase calories, add some oil to the dogs food.

Georgia Boy

How does the barking show cooperation?

Georgia Boy

You need to find someone that can help you in person so they can read the dog and get a true assessment on the situation, see what the dog and most importantly YOU are doing. You could invest in a FF training program like smart fetch and get some assistance from Evan, but that would still depend on ...

Georgia Boy

Hard to say when we don't know what your trainer was doing. I would call your trainer and ask him. What seems a little odd to me is the dogs was there a month and is still on the table?

He said he was going to finish the dog

Georgia Boy

Very few DD owners here, may have better luck over on the versatile dog board.

Georgia Boy

I would say introduce him to some birds, after that he is old enough to start a FF program.

Georgia Boy

What kind of dog is he and what are you training him for?
