Thanks. I'm headed out the backyard to start my trapline

I lost all 17 of my adult homers and 2 young ones in one night to a mink or weasel :cry: . I need to know easy sets and good baits to catch them(I won't get anymore homers until I catch them). They dug under the wall of my building where I keep my pigeons--holes are too small for anything but a mink...

I agree--find a club with better birds

Suddenly, passing a written test and apprenticing doesn't seem so bad. :lol: Brad...there is one huge difference. HT/FT judges don't make a living judging.....conformation judges do, or can. Do HT/FT judges receive any fee or do they judge for free? I do believe all NAVHDA judges judge for free wit...

This is the newest member to my family. This is the pup I kept out of Penny 4s litter. Her call name is Penny 6. Her registered name is DeSeeker's Totally Broke.

There's no birds in Washington County, so I went back north to the indian rez. This morning I took Penny 5 and my male, Shooter. I hadn't even gone 75 yards until I had my first point over Penny 5--2 hens and a rooster--got the rooster. In that field I got another hen point from Penny5 and had about...

Just keep a list of judges you won't run under---then don't run your dog under them. Don't hold it against the club--unless that is the only judges they use. You can look in the AKC judges directory--look up the judge name, you can then look up past assignments to find out which clubs use that judge...

When we go to North Dakota it takes us 14 hours to get there, we usually stop about 1/2 way(7 hours). The dogs spend the nights(8 hours) in their kennels in the truck when we get there. They do 8 hours with no problem. They can last longer than I can :roll: It's heck to get old.

The male's pedigree is real strong in both field & show. I know Sandy Sargent (breeder of the male) has field dogs that are hunted on wild birds along with being trialed--all her stuff will have hip OFAs(she is a vet). The female has very, very few titled dogs in the pedigree--that doesn't mean they...

Nice pictures. The one I like best is with Katie pointing and the setter backing. If I were you I'd go back again before the season is over--you still have a second 5 day period on your lic

You are very, very lucky your dog isn't dead. friend of mines shorthair ate a beany baby= very large vet bill

deseeker

My buddy uses it on his shorthair--he doesn't keep the dog on concrete so it's pads aren't tough. He says it works. Helpful hint--put it in a spray bottle and spray it on their pads--otherwise you will waste alot of the product out of the pour bottle it is sent in.

Well done! That is a great looking Brit you got there. And the tail on that one rooster is LONG! Did you measure that guy? Thanks, She's a pretty good phez dog(IMO :lol: ). The one tail feather just looks long because it was last years bird(long spurs) and the other 2 birds were young of this year(...

The pup is probably to young for long hunts---keep it short and fun. Since it is a lab, encourage him in catching birds--take some pigeons along with their flight feathers pulled and toss a few out when he isn't looking. Let him stumbled into them and encourage him catching them. He should then be a...

Did you leave the dog outside early July when it might of got over exposed to fireworks. Even though my dogs love guns, I don't take a chance with fireworks. All it takes is a dog to pick up 1 firecracker with it's mouth and you'll have a gun shy dog. I just put my dogs in the house that time of yea...

No AKC titled dogs in the first 3 generations(not saying they don't hunt just saying they don't run competion). Forth generation has 2 Hall Of Fame brittanys(national all age champs) and a National Gun Dog Champ in it. Good huntin' with your new huntin' partner.

I'd think about a kennel cover to break air flow. 20 degree weather going down the hwy at 60mph sounds like a fairly low wind chill index to me. If nothing else you could duct tape the side vents shut--outside not inside or he might eat the tape.

deseeker

The good thing about if you find a GOOD pro close by is he can train you along with the dog since you'll be close.

Number 1 on my long distance hunt kit is a Skunk kit for getting rid of skunk oder :roll:

They will fit in a NEF, but it is no longer made--You might find one used every once in a while. Don't go higher than the brown loads and the lower power loads would be even better.

Same thing as ezzy said, plus your pup is out of a 1/2 brother mating a 1/2 sister(linebred on Shadows Frecked Sue).

If the dog was doing okay last Fall on birds, It sounds to me like it is too hard a trainer for a soft dog. This is just my opinion :!: A lot of soft dogs need soft trainers or they will shut down. You might have to shot a lot of fun birds over the dog where there isn't much presure on him so it get...

Great start

One of my friends coon hounds had this. He rigged a sling off his basment rafters to support the dog in an upright position so he could move the dogs legs up, down, and back & forth. I know it was a fairly long recovery on his dog, but he was able to get it back where he could use it on coon.

Try bribing her with a dog treats. reel her in with the check cord and trade the bird for a dog treat. After she is doing it everytime with the cord, try it without the cord. If she is doing it without the cord everytime, cut back on the treats less and less and switch to praise. Or wait til she get...

You might be able to get a good dog from the paper, but I think you will have better chances of getting a good dog by doing your homework--looking at pedigrees, looking at parents, looking at dogs at events. Don't be afraid of spending a little more on a better pup---the original price of a pup is a...

You must not be running him in AKC stuff---two fights with write ups in their events that are his fault and AKC will ban the dog from competing. They don't put up with aggressive dogs.

Minn. judges require a blank on a stop to flush. Got DQ'd in Indiana for blanking a stop to flush. Seems to be nothing in the book either way. Best ask the judge and when in Rome do as th Romans do.

They changed the rule a couple of years ago. For senior it now reads "The firing of a blank gun for a stop to flush is at the option of the handler. The dog must adequately disply its steadiness to wing before the optional shot can be fired. A senior dog may be collared away from a stop to flush." M...

How did you teach him to honor and how is his stop to flush? I agree with Brad---launch birds in front of the pointing dog when your dog is moving & lookin' at the pointing dog---your dog might think his movement flushed the bird. He MIGHT then start backing--thinking it's his fault the bird flushed.
