What the OP is describing does not sound like a dominance issue IMO.

I have hunted Kaw for 20 years, there isn't much management for birds there anymore. They use to stock it with pheasants and there are a few still around. Quail numbers in the best years would have been considered disappointing when compared to the western OK WMAs. There are some great looking areas...

Redocking usually creates an emotional response from folks rather than a logical one. I've seen and know of many that have been redone, no issues and if done correctly no bald spot.

I thought Kansas opened this coming Saturday?

I've got one I need to replace as well, I am curious. There was a topic going on one of thefieldtrialer forum about refurbing collars.

Wild Birds > early release birds > throw down birds.

Thanks

A good source.

I just picked up a second 220 and three dc 30s. I like the 30 compared to the 40. I may sell both of my 220s and upgrade to the 320 handheld but will keep the older collars.

How tall is your house? Do you have solid sides so they can't see out?

I like perfect pedigrees because of the photo and additional info you can add. I also like Gundog Central tool, you can run a pedigree back 8 generations with it.

I've always heard the Go Pro battery life is the worst in the industry. Any truth to that?

ACooper

I suspect the "nutrition" arrives via the previous day's feeding. Exactly correct. It takes around 12 hours for a dog to fully digest a meal. this is easy to prove. Give your dog a few kernels of corn in a meal and see how long it takes for the corn to show up in the poop. Regular days = Equal amou...

Lol, the reading comprehension skills on this forum leaves much to be desired. I was not the one to single out this brand but I did call out meat-and-bone-meal. I didn't say anything about performance "at top level" on table scraps either, where did you get that Neil? The type of activity your dog ...

I called Performance today and they didn't know it was lighted. They will have to drop that rule. I will be the first to order one once I hear from Performance directly. And yes they said they would drop it if they decided it wouldn't work. "Performance" didn't know or the person you spoke to didn'...

FCC approval is a formality. AKC has already and the AFTCA will approve shortly, depending on what rep you talk to it may already be approved.

I'm always curious why someone would not want new technology approved.

On a lighter note.. Wasn't that a Griffon Brad was working with? I give him kudos that the dog stayed and sat down geeze, you all complaining have you ever worked with a Griffon? If not seek one out and put a few weeks into training, most of the time they are just pissed there is nothing dead to ro...

ACooper

The dog is very steady, I wonder though, at this stage of the game was the steadiness gained in lieu of confidence?

ACooper

I am curious about this dog sitting as well, I believe you posted a video before of a different dog that also sat. Do you teach your dogs to sit prior to steadying?

ACooper

Run the open while you're running your pup, if you happen to be braced with a more experienced handler watch and learn. Heck I do the same when I am paired with other amateurs, I've got a lot to learn about being a good handler. I have learned a lot from watching the successful guys that run in my a...

ACooper

I don't think performance guys care about color becouse they pick the best dog not color in a hand picked breeding. The average owner seem to care more about color. Me personly I don't like solid liver or a vary white dog. I just breed my bitch to black male in hopes of keeping a black ticked bitch...

ACooper

Hard question to ask with out sounding off so disclaimer....not trying to be a cactus here (prick). Why the care over color? Trying to learn why it is important in your breeding? Short of throwing the little e in gsp's? Do you find many buyers care that much about color? Knowledge is power. Why not...

ACooper

Thanks for the Reply clear as Mud now. LOL The easiest answer to your original question would have been with a solid stud and non solid dam, in "theory" the most likely outcome would be 25% solid 75% non solid, but you never actually know until it happens. But, let me see if I can clarify the other...

mountaindogs wrote:True. I'll just add that the last mentioned possibility above is most common currently. Simply because you do not see too many solid to solid breedings.

Good point, I should have mentioned that bbSS dogs are not common.

ACooper

Depending on the genetic make up of the solid liver stud ALL the pups could potentially be solid liver. so the male and female are both "bb" because they are liver. The female is also "ss" or she would also be solid. The male is either "bbSS" or "bbSs" because he is solid liver. So if the male is "S...

T5 is 9.2 oz. It is 0.2 oz to heavy. That is equal to the duct tape or electrical tape that we all have used to tape the antennas on our tracking collars. If we weighed all the collars used today that are legal after using them for awhile I bet all would weigh more then the 9.0oz max limit includin...

I hate vests, I use a quail and dove caddy. I have a vest for when I am really taking a hike from the vehicle. But much prefer to carry the weight on my hips rather than my shoulders.

Get a look at the Dogtra mechanism (or Sportdog) then look at the DT mechanism or LCS. Like I said I have been using DTs for several years, but look a the difference and I think you will see why I will replace mine with Dogtra as needed.

ACooper

I have had the Innotek/LCS in the past, right now I have several DT and one of the new Sport Dog launchers. I like the Sport Dog however they are large, comparable to the Dogtra Pheasant size. I have also had pretty good luck with the DT launchers, but if I were to replace the DT today I would repla...

I've heard raw chicken or turkey necks, but have yet to try it, I'm afraid the raw food cult might get their hooks in and not let me go................

I have recently purchased some Dokken Geese, still not sure how it will affect out retrieval of 12 pounders, we'll see this season. Big geese are big problems for some dogs.

I have not been able to use the Live Chat in a long time. Is anyone able to use it? It was nice to have and was used regularly for quite a while.

ACooper

I know of a couple of Rotts and a Boxer that all flush and retrieve pheasants.

My dad had a couple of English Shepherds (farm collie back then) that they hunted quail and rabbits with. Back then the dogs had to move the cattle and hogs. Guard the chickens and house and also work as a hunting dog.

ACooper

Drop or Dropper might be fitting?

Is the weight limit not 8oz still?

Huge congrats Jerry! That is awesome.

I cannot find anything on its approval for field trials? Do you have the info on the approval?

Get out and see some dogs, you may or may not be surprised. But, don't fall into all "navhda" dogs are slow etc.

Here is my FC/AFC. Check out his pedigree.
