This doesn't have anything to do with your post, but perhaps you can help me. I emailed Arkat and requested the METABOLIZED energy (kcal/cup) for the Hunters Edge and the Professional dog foods. But they either didn't respond or their email ended up being blocked by our spam blocker. Can you tell me...

I think in general, any of the sporting breeds are going to meet your basic requirements. The specific characteristics that you are looking for and those you don't want are going to be determined by the lines within the breed and what the specific parents are passing on. Decide on a few basic needs ...

If you haven't already bought a bike, I would look at the Urals. http://www.imz-ural.com/gearup/ The side car wheel becomes a drive wheel with the pull of a lever. So that would help off road. You used to be able to buy one that had the sidecar frame but no seat. That would be nice to mount a custom...

What legal authority does the HSUS have to conduct this raid? The didn't once say a law enforcement agency was envolved.

Is there any advice or tips you guys can give me for this part of the training?

Follow a good training program. Smartwork 1 and 2 and Fowldogs 1 and 2 are recommended by a lot of lab people.

That used to be my primary forum. But now that I do more upland than ducks I don't spend as much time there. When I do it is to check out the political and photography forums. I hardly even log on and comment. Just read. One thing about the fuge is if you want to know what people are thinking of the...

Chukar,

I responded to your PM. Did it go through or did I do something wrong? It isn't showing up in my sent box.

DD because of the breeding program and I like duck hunting as well as upland.

Pointer because I needed heat tolerance in AZ and I wanted a pure quail dog.

Adam, When you read a Drahthaar pedigree, there is a notation that shows the initial motherline (shorthair, pudelpointer, etc). If you want a DD that isn't people sharp, stay ...

I live in North Phoenix. Been here since 2003.

What state do you live in? This website has free topos that are Garmin compatible. http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/ Unfortunately, they are only available for the following states right now. * Arizona * California * Colorado * Hawaii * Idaho * Illinois * Maine * Massachusetts * Mississippi * Montan...

Not much of a difference. However, given the choice, I would chose the 100. I would go that route because if I wanted the continuous stimulation it would be available to me. If I didn't need it, I could just remove my fingers from the buttons faster to get the momentary.

Gundog Supply just sent an email out regarding these. They are selling them for $44.

The main change to the G3 for the Pro series collars is they moved the tone button to the front with the other buttons. Much better in my opinion.

Believe it is off? Have you verified it with a regular compass?

Arizona has three species of quail with the season going until Feb 8th or so. With the economy bad, I suspect not as many snow birds will be here so you could probably get pretty good rental rates.

Have you been to the Duck Hunter Refuge? If not, you should. You will see all the pics and discussions about boat blinds you want.

Very nice.

Thanks for getting the juices flowing. Heading up to an area NW of Grand Rapids next week. Can't wait. Unfortunately, it has been a long time since I was there so I can't think of any areas there that are as immature as the covert in your pics.

My cousin is a Police Officer. He uses the turtleskin patrol and duty gloves for protection from needles. He had them down here in AZ for protection from thorns while hunting. They worked great. If the chaps work as well as the gloves, I would definitely get them.

I have flown twice now with puppies. Both times I carried the pup into the cabin and stowed it under the seat. The pups never made a peep. If you are flying out to pick it up, rather than shipping it, I wouldn't be concerned at all.

I've had a little trouble with mine, which I'm sure is operator error. The default postion for what the dog is doing is "treed". I can switch it to "point" okay, but when I turn it off and use it another time, it's back to "treed". Anyone had this problem at all? Also, sometimes I found the arrow w...

No, the stim follows the progression as you would normally think. A high 1 is less than a low 2, etc.

I have seen this guy recommended on other forums.

He is in Oklahoma, I believe. So that would be 6-8 central time.

Puck is a great looking little guy. Looks to have a lot of style, I like that tail! Whats the breeding? Honestly, I don't know the specific dogs yet. My papers are not back from FDSB. Here is what I got so far. The sire is all Elhew. His sire is Goodgoing Elhew Cooper, goes back to Elhew Texas Ray,...

Although I really like my Drahthaar and will always have one, I felt that a more heat tolerant was necessary here in AZ. This spring things lined up and I was able to get a new male Pointer. I am just getting around to posting picture because I dropped my camera in the water and ruined it. I recentl...

The levels of constant and momentary stimulation. The 100 has 18 levels of constant, 6 momentary. The 200 has 6 constant and 18 momentary. I would get the 100. That way the all the levels of constant are available to you if need be. To have more levels of momentary stimulation, just remove your fing...

Ok everybody, I had to run the WebUpdater twice. Once with just the handheld unit (Astro 220) powered on and once with the handheld and collar unit (DC 20) powered on.

All Astro DC 20 users, Like a lot of users, I had the problem with my Astro jumping out of the pointing dog mode. This caused me to miss getting the tone when my dog was on point. I kept watching the Garmin site for a software update to the unit. None were ever shown. I called Garmin today to see if...

My main question, however, is "Have they fixed the software yet?" I complained about the unit loosing the "Dog Type" last fall. I was told that a fix was being worked on. I've seen no fix yet. Anybody have any info on the issue? Buford and everyone else see my thread title NEW Garmin ASTRO DC 20 SO...

Since they are now offering the 2nd generation, I sure hope they don't skip providing a fix for the original unit. Although I suspect the will. I will buy a new unit for my second dog, but I don't want to replace my original one. edited to add: I just looked at the warranty. I think I will send my o...

If you want to start a fight, call someone's DD a GWP... you'll get a lesson whether you want it or not. fuzz Except if you go back through this thread, you will find that the "DD people" stayed on topic.

When would you use this.....

These are the end stakes for a chain gang.

The others are for individual dogs. However I would just use them for the chain gang also.

If you could turn any low ground into a pond that would be nice also. It would then be more attractive to the retriever clubs and NAVHDA. For fees, I would charge each club a fee which in total would cover liability insurance for the land and any costs associated with improvements to the land. Then ...

[ As soon as the pup allows "me" to flush the bird he goes to the table for formal whoa training.

I don't teach whoa until the pup demonstrates cooperation on birds. In other words, once the pup begins to let "me" flush the bird he is telling me that he is ready to be broke. Yawallac, I am a little confused because in the past, you have made posts demonstrating your technique of young pups "who...

Their dealer locater must not be functioning properly. When I do a search for dealers in my area, none show up. But I know there are several within 10 miles. You may want to call them to find a dealer.

If you are going to buy a GPS anyway, then I think it is worth it to buy the Astro instead of a GPS and a beeper collar. I bought the Astro this year. I like it a lot. Although my dog isn't ranging like I thought she would, I have a hard time seeing her in the cover down here. It helps a lot. When t...

I have thought about using a motorcycle to get to the summer training days.

My idea was to have a cycle that was sidecar compatible. Then get a sidecar frame and have a custom dog box built and mounted to it.

I have seen it being diluted with Propylene Glycol.
