If you are basing it on head shape I think your way off base,alot of the pointers you see today no longer have the dish face.Some of you guys must have better eyes then I do because I'm not suspect by any of those pics.I don't see anything that really stands out to me.:lol: I sure see a difference ...

Not like a pointer? Ok so what to you makes one look like a pointer? color,head,style,tail,over all conformation,movement? :) Look at the face on this pointer. I pulled the picture of the for sale section of this forum. Notice the dish face of this dog. A classic EP head. Then look at the heads of ...

I mostly hunt alone or with one other person and we are rarely within shotgun range of each other. I'm out West and don't hunt in heavy cover. I also don't like to advertise where I am hunting to people driving by, or on another mountain a mile away. I prefer not to be seen while hunting.

No Orange what so ever, won't buy one with any amount of orange on them no matter how functional.

I've read two different articles in Outdoor life about people loosing hounds to wolves in Idaho. I had another experience in Idaho where one of my shorthairs went out of sight for a few minutes. I was hunting on horseback and rode over to a ravine and found the shorthair playing cat and mouse with a...

AHGSP I have raised pigeons for 38 years until December. For the last 12 years I had my birds tested prior to breeding season and in all those years I never had a positive culture for Salmonella. I'm not saying I did not have cases of Salmonella but the tests never showed it. Salmonella rarely kills...

What you have is Adeno virus, or as the racing pigeon people call it "young bird disease" There is no treatment for Adeno, but what is killing the pigeons is the secondary bacterial infections E-coli and intestinal canker. I would put your birds on Amprolium (Jeffers.com) Parastop (Global Pigeon Sup...

Drag of the Race is why you need field trials. Unless you are measuring breeding stock for the highest performance then the genetic pull to mediocrity will result in inferior stock. Do you mean field trials are needed to avoid mediocrity or testing in general? If you mean testing in general I would...

Von Verridge was a prefix Mike Hansing used for his dogs. I bet the dog is bred out of Pistol Pete von Verrige, or Skeeters Bruno von Verrige.

The only annoy your neighbors if you let them. If you keep them hungry so they don't lounge around on everyone's roofs. Racing pigeons being used for dog training don't need much more than 2 tablespoons of grain per day. They will try and fake you out and make you think they are more hungry than the...

I've had several and they were the most precocious pups in the litter. By 2 they were blackhearted run off's doing there own thing.

That's the Idaho that I love. Just over yonder by that pond called Daniels, little place nick named sharptail mountain.

Favor, you crack me up. My avatar picture was taken not to far from your property. They were great. You never had to say one word to the dog, just let them figure it out on their own, like wild birds. I sold mine with everything else when my life took a wrong turn with my wife. Now I wished I had le...

No, these did not have any hand held controls. They only came with a collar to trigger them.

The whole key to this debate is socialization. You can have the best bred dogs on the Planet and without socialization they usually amount to nothing. I've seen two dogs that prove this point. One was a female GSP out of Beier's Evolution x Ace's Prima Banane which was the most successful breeding t...

I am curious if anybody on this site remembers the bird launchers that a guy in Nebraska manufactured around 1989-1990ish that came with a collar that triggered the launchers.

It's amazing to me to hear such statements as "nothing magical" about 49 days. The 49 day method is based upon research by Dr. Micheal Fox. His conclusion was that a puppies brain is fully developed at that date. The puppy is therefore ready to bond with it's new pack, or fall into the pack hierarch...

Hotchkiss Brad answered your question correctly, racing pigeon=homing pigeon. Kill bird = feral pigeon. I just left the pigeon hobby after 36 years due to pigeon breeders lung. It is a medical condition caused by a protein found in pigeon droppings. It can become a chronic illness causing major heal...

Do you self a huge favor. Build yourself a loft with a grated floor. You can use expanded metal, the poultry flooring from Farmtek( google farmtek), or 1 x 4's with an 3/4 inch gap between the slats.

I hope that nobody on this forum is being permanently displaced by the flooding of the Mississippi, and if you are my deepest condolences for the loss of home, property, and livelihood.

It's obvious from reading pedigree's that breeding to the current NFC is a new form of linebreeding in some breeds.

I had a female GSP that was awesome from the age of 6 months old on pheasants & chuckars. Six of us shot 12 roosters that she pointed when she was six months old.

Have you ever thought of breaking the dog without modern day gadgetry?

At this point you have nothing to lose by using a check cord, and leg work to break the dog without an e-collar. This may keep him honest in his bird work.

This one qualifies as both bad and ugly. I had a situation with a young dog that changed the course of the dogs life.

I feel pretty strongly that our dogs today are better than the dogs of yesteryear. Not individual dogs so much, but the breeds as a whole. Fifty years ago they did not have AKC hunt test, NAVHDA Tests, NSTRA trials. They only had HB trials to compare their dogs and find the best of the best for bre...
