Ditto! Training begins the day I bring the pup home. Pups are are on the whoa boards, birds, in kennels, etc. etc from day one!

Great Retrieve!!!! Good soft mouth - I mean hands.

Snips,

I think it's a conspiracy! They just can't handle you over there. Don't go to the dark side.

Thanks! Didn't think about those things. I guess with my topper on I can't see too much when backing anyway. I live on a gravel road and the back window is always dirty!!! I thought that was what the rear view mirrors were for?

Most people I talk with like their dog boxes to be about 20" in height (dog compartment). Why do the "higher end" trailers seem to have a 24" height? It appears that the trailers allow the dogs to stand up, and the boxes, unless you get an extra-tall box, require the dog to lay down. I know the theo...

He should come around after a few days. This is the reason I have all my pups start dragging a CC from the time they are 10 weeks old. Actually, I introduce my pups to everything I may use in training before they are 16-18 weeks of age. Pups take new things much more readily than older dogs. Good Lu...

Did you post a pedigree?

At least 10!!! I would guess - 11. How much does she weigh without pups? She's a Fatty!!!! Good Luck!

This is a prime example of why it is WRONG to inbreed. What about my Erin's kennel post? Isn't that a prime example of why it is RIGHT to inbreed? :roll: As for Clown - I guess the dog that kicks butt (3x nfc++++) will always be hated!!! Hey nitrex, I was just teasing about using a Pointer stud. BT...

nitrex

I'd like to see what you get as I'm a fan of Clown. Say what you want but he was a winner and produced winners. Too bad the lossers talked trash about the dog that beat them. Pointer or not, almost every shorthair out there that's worth owning has some pointer blood somewhere. I'm not sure anyone c...

nitrex

I also posted the peds in hope some will come out and say when you breed this line to this line you get aggression... I heard that Clown had Pointer in him so that may change how some of the pedigree lines up. But you know my feelings on Pointer blood, you can't get too much of it. You are more tha...

I'm guessing that woodworking is not your profession... :lol: :lol: Was thinking the same thing but decided to be nice...my thought was the dog wasn't nervous about the barrel...he was nervous about what was holding the barrel.

i"ve shot many antelope with a 300 Weatherby Mag using 180gr. Nosler Partition rounds. Punches a hole right throught 'em with minimal damage to the meat. I used the same round on Mule deer and elk in Colorado for years. I say go for it and use a round that performs well for your rifle.

I've posted these before, but I just really enjoy them. These pics were taken when they were about 10-11 months old.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a hauling company for a puppy. It's too cold to ship via airlines from Kansas to New York. Or if anyone is going from Kansas to New York (or part way) in late January or February and would be willing to take along a pup?!?!?!?

Thanks in Advance,

They are between 4.7 and 5.3 pounds.

Just thought I would share a few pics I took last night of our current litter. They are sired by NC/FC/AFC Saddle's Lil Clown and out of a daughter of Rawhide's Clown. We are really excited about this litter as all pups are showing some great style at 4.5 weeks old. Enjoy! http://i73.photobucket.com...

Wildweeds,

Why didn't you run him in AF and prove he could compete with them? Not to be rude, but why not put your money where your mouth is?

I hope I'm not misunderstanding you!?!?!?!

SJ, You're a good guy, but you change you mind more than anyone I know. I can't keep track of what dog you are selling, buying giving away, or getting for free. Are you surfing the web too much and getting too many ideas in that head? I would encourage you to finish one dog before you look at gettin...

Today was our first day on puppy mash. All nine (9) pups are doing great and have the best manners - for about 10 seconds!! :lol: These photos where not posed. I placed the food down and all nine went right around the pan and began to lap it up. After a few bites - it was a free-for-all hog pile. Yo...

Nothing!!! I told the wife last month that I spent too much on the habit the past several years, so I should go without Christmas this year to make up the difference. Too bad she doesn't realize I ordered some new stuff the day before Christmas without telling her!

Don't tell her!!

Why do you give him milk?

ever since i was a kid. i always mixed in wet dog food in the winter. Why? I agree with ezzy on the wet food. It is just expensive "bottled" water with some dry food added in for flavor! If you like wet food mixed in, just wet some of the dry food for a few minutes and mix in the dry. It may save y...

labman21, Are you wondering if people in a particular area of the country like different traits in certain breeds? If so, that may be true. When I lived in Colorado and hunted waterfowl on cold, icy, fast moving rivers, it was nice to have a bigger lab for retrieving all day. Now that I am hunting t...

Ezzy,

Is the beet pulp they sell at feed stores and Tractor Supply for horses the same thing you are recommending? If so, it is pretty cheap and one bag would last a long time!!

Congrats on a job well done! I'll be the first to encourage you to throw Walter's book away. It's old and not really a top level book.

Have you gone through a thorough gun introduction with the dog? If you haven't thoroughly introduced the gun, then go back and do it correctly! It sounds like you dog is quickly becoming gun shy. I'm not a fan of shooting while a dog is eating, playing in the yard, or on the chaingang. You want the...

Well, they are all doing great!! 9 healthy pups - 4 males 5 females. The females are marked like the dam and the males like their sire. Here are more photos than you want to see. I hope to get some individual pics this weekend. Sorry about the "poop" on the one male. We stole them from mom for a pic...

Situation: I have decide to help a friend of mine get his family hunting behind a GSP. He has three (3) sons ranging in age from 10-15. They have wanted a dog that will be a family pet, but also a bird hunting machine. They are beginning to hunt more and more in California for quail and several shor...

"Lil" is doing great after whelping 7 pups so far!! We had an x-ray and counted 8-9 for sure and maybe more. She started Wednesday around 11:15pm and it is now 4:30 am Thursday. The only good thing is that I am wide awake since I just returned from Russia and my sleep schedule is off. My body thinks...

What do most of you think about calcium supplements for pregnant females? My vet has recommended this on several occasions for the last couple weeks of the pregnancy. He says it is mainly to help the mom during delivery with muscle contractions. The reason I ask is that somewhere it seems like I rea...

Thanks everyone!! It's nice having a little testosterone in the house. I needed a little help against the wife and two daughters. Actually, my girls are awesome and are wanting to start hunting as soon as they are old enough. The four year old girl saw me "sneaking" in a pink .22 rifle. She keeps as...

Good looking pups!!!! I've noticed that several people on here let pups play with pheasant wings or other game birds. What does it accomplish? How long do you let them play with it?

I wish I could help you with some tactics, but if a few didn't escape, we wouldn't have any birds next year.

I never have them get away from my GSPs, but the crooked barrel on my Benelli keeps me from harvesting all of them

I love this stuff and the company will spend the time to talk you through the products. I have been able to cut the number of dogs I hunt in a day by half. And I can run them day after day with very little fatigue due to a lack of glycogen. The developers of this product are bird dog guys and triale...

Hog panels have worked great in the past for me. I wired them up on the inside of the kennel runs making sure to cover the doors. Make sure you get panels with small enough holes that pups are safe.
