I started with springers & in 1988 I switched to Britts. I helped train a good field Irish for a friend---I wouldn't mind trying one of those sometime(like the high tail) although I'll have britts forever.

Nice dog

Nice video. With all the fences how do you follow with horses or is it foot handled?

Since it has been so hot, she might be digging for cool dirt to lay in to stay cooler. I've got my dogs on concrete, but if I had them on grass, they would dig an underground den to get out of the heat.

Very nice

If you want to freight it to me, I've got a litter coming in August and I could have my female try it out for you to make sure it works okay

Again, very nice job. Good luck with the litter.

I use the nail gun blanks. About the only gun they will fit in is a New England Firearm blank gun. Caution, do not drill out a cheap blank gun to make them fit

The cheap guns are made of pot metal and the nail gun has too much power--the cylinder might rupture

great looking litter

If you are going to fly them, look into Continental(bought out by Delta?). They will fly them without temperature restrictions---they have the animals temperature controled the whole way--cargo terminals, planes, whereever the dogs are. Most other airlines will not fly dogs above or below certain te...

I'm sure I'm misunderstanding the differences as I'm a rookie (Jr hunter level/learning curve) with all of this. What I do know is that I can't use my .22 acorn crimps I usually use in my NEF starter model 822, 22 short blank. The revised procedures state: ...All calibers up to .32 are acceptable. ...

There are a couple listed in the AKC Hunt test test section in AKC. They are might be a little far away from you.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. It's tough to lose a good one.

I'd keep him away from high dog areas until he has had 3 sets of shots. It is easy for pups that young to get parvo, etc. until their vacinations kick in. IMO I'd hold off on taking him around dogs you don't know until he is around 18 weeks old. Have fun with the pup and I hope he turns into a great...

Get a hold of a local NAVHDA chapter. Most chapters have monthly training session---You can go watch different breeds of pointing dogs and pick a breed you like. Those guys and this forum can help steer you into good lines in the breed you're looking for. At the training sessoions you can help with ...

What part of the state did you run into those snakes? I used to live in southern Nebraska and never saw a snake.

I'll definitely look into the sand hills and pull the truck. We don't need hookups every night. Just on occasion for some luxury and to recharge. Just trying to minimize money spent on parking.

My buddy from Atlanta flies up to to NE every year to hunt with his shorthair(usually flies Southwest). You have to have a health certificate from a vet within 10 days of flying with the dog. It usually cost him more to fly the dog up than it does him(he gets discount tickets for himself :lol: ). He...

Diane Hedstrom has a good line of britts in MN--- alot of her stuff is liver/white. She's a member of one of the MN brittany clubs and runs her dogs in the gun dog stakes up there.

As long as the dog is over 6 months old you can run in AKC events--I've seen young pups to 10 year old dogs run in junior. In juniors the dogs are run in 15 minute braces(if juniors are going to run longer than 15 minutes they will post it in the premium). The dogs in junior will be judged on 4 thin...

When I have a litter, I give a kennel cough down the nose at 5 and 7 weeks. I give a parvo only shot at 6 weeks. I give a 5 way puppy(no lepto) at 7 weeks.

I'll take a new dog or a new hunter to one that is about 15 miles away from me.

So they are not doing the puppy first? Is the visla club same one is doing this trial? Now I am confused. I thought a pointing dog trial had all of these elements but I am a rookie at this stuff.

Besides taking a chair to watch, you might want to take a pair of bionoculars as some clubs grounds allow you to see most of the junior braces from your chair at break away.

If you are running at the Lincoln shorthair trial, I think they are running a hunt test at the same time. The hunt test will probably be run at Area nine, which means the field trial puppy will probably be run from the club house. I'm guessing they will break away from the club house. The break away...

You will probably have better luck selling started and finished dogs at the START of a hunting season instead of at the end of hunting season

Keep runnin' your dog on wild birds after the season---I found alot of people that won't let you hunt on their land during season will let you run your dog on their land in the off season since you aren't shooting their birds :D Alot of them will let you run clear up to breeding season.

Sounds like great advice. Since the breeder I choose will be because it is a gundog line I will ask them or ask at my local shooting ranges. Advice--Don't take pup to shooting ranges once you get it---chance you'll end up with gun shy pup. There is a gradual way to introduce new pups to a gun. You ...
