Is it normal practice to pay a seperate subscription online if you already receive the magazine?

Have you ever interval trained? That is what I do, but I have been told I do not know what I am doing. Funny, my dogs are usually in condition. Push, coast, push coast. One distance one day and more the next. I train for distance and not time. Like I said, most guys laugh at me. :roll: I do not roa...

I second what Karen said. If you will always have the time to run her a few days a week then you really don't need to road her. You still can but I would only do it after she is fully grown 1 1/2 - 2 yrs old.

remmy

Tru I think the reason you don't see many pointers in akc trials is that if a pointer guy wins then all you hear is "good for you, you beat a bunch of shorthairs" So it wouldn't even matter really. That sums it up right there. We are looked down upon. Like Doco said too, he ran his shorthair in a p...

Here is some good read http://blueweimaraner.com/tell.html To this day it is still uncertain where Tell got his blue color. Everything you hear is speculation or hearsay. It was so long ago that it shouldn't matter today. As far as I am concerned, I could care less about breeding to a show standard ...

Wow! Wish I lived by you guys. My vet charges $75 for an office visit. After hours emergency is $500 just to walk in the door of any animal emergency hospital around here. It really does matter where you live.

remmy

The decision between a male or female comes down to you. There is no difference in training. Each dog has it's own personality so saying male dogs are stubborn or females are easier to train is all folklore. You never know what you will get. When a female comes in heat is can be messy. There will be...

Congrats! From what I saw before I was given the tracker she looked really nice on the ground!

ASD :

Champion: KJ's Hightailing Tina - O/H - Kevin Joyce
Runner Up - Joe Orndoff..I think Daisy? You think I would remember since I was braced with her! Sorry Joe.

Both dogs did a really nice job.

Derby:

1st pl - Danni - Goegan
2nd pl - Tiger - Oswald?

Congrats to all.

remmy

4 or 5 derby dogs, about 15 aa. Osd should start wed.

remmy

As far as I know Derby has not been cancelled and ASD will still start Saturday.

remmy

NGSPA Pheasant Championship will be held on Nov 4 to conclusion at Wye Island in MD. Derby will be first on Friday, Nov 4, followed by ASD, OAA and OSD in that order.

I will only be there for the ASD. Hope to see some of you there.

remmy

Congrats to all.

remmy

The GSPCA website will have the braces ran but no recap. It will also give call back dogs at the end. That's about it.

remmy

I put on Biospot every month. On the day of the hunt I put on either Hartz tick spray or Ortho Sevin powder. Both work excellent.

remmy

Any news on OSD?

remmy

You really can't see much unless you're on horseback riding the braces. You can see a little from the clubhouse but not much.

remmy

Big congrats to John and Natasha. Natasha finished her FC this weekend by placing 1st in OGD, a 26 dog stake. Also, Natasha got 2nd in OLGD.

remmy

Big congrats to Dr. Bill Orlando and Molly winning 1st place in Open Puppy and Oscar 2nd place. His three pups finished 1, 2, 3 in their first trial. The 2nd and 3rd from that trial finished 1st and 2nd at the EGSPC!

Big congrats Bill!!! Awesome pups you have there!

remmy

Congrats! You have a nice dog there. I think your dog won it in Flaherty in June when I judged it. I knew it was only a matter of time before you finished it. Good job.

Rob

remmy

Big congrats guys.

remmy

Karen, just register the pups you are keeping. It is extremely easy. I don't know what your friend was talking about.

You can't be serious?!

I will be there. I used to run this trial and now help out where I can. It's a great trial.

Man this is the best week ever for me. I get a phone interview for this job, then the next day I pick up my new pup and on Tuesday I get a call telling me to be in Denver for a face to face interview. Now I get word that I won this contest. I can't even begin to show how happy I am now. Thanks to a...

remmy

Congrats Karen! Now the fun begins!

remmy

Thank you for your service to our country! I am not too familiar with the "German" bred dogs. I do know that there are a lot of good GSP's in America bred all year long, there is no time of year so to speak. As far as raising a pup in an apartment, of course you can. Just make sure pup gets its dail...

remmy

Count me in. Thanks Doc!

remmy

Congrats to all the winners.

remmy

That is awesome Bill! Huge congrats. You have a winning litter there.

remmy

Any news yet?

remmy

I was really curious so I contacted AKC and this was their response:

"Bells are not specifically mentioned in the PBFT Rule Book. We have said yes they can be used and we will be clarifying the rulebook in the next printing."

I guess I stand corrected.

remmy

He had the no breeding agreement...that' not the issue. The owner doesnt have an issue at all. I'm just wondering why the breeder can't give him the pedigree. By the way, this is stricy a hunting dog so no registration is not a problem.

remmy

Someone I know has a really nice young pointer. He told me his breeder refused to give him pedigree and paperwork because he doesn't want any of his pups bred...only he (original breeder) can breed. I can't understand a breeder refusing to give new owner this information. I am really curious as to w...

remmy

I don't think bells are allowed in AKC trials. It is considered a training/locating aid. If people have used them then the judges either didn't know or allowed them to for some reason. Again, what would differ using a bell from a beeper collar then? That is why they have scouts in field trials and n...

remmy

I think cover dog trials you can use a bell. In regular AKC trials I don't think a bell is allowed. If that were the case what would prevent a handler from using a beeper collar then? The only "tracking or locating" device allowed is a tracking collar or garmin...both can only be activated after dog...

remmy

Bernee, I would recommend Wye Island also. However, I see you said your Championship would run in Oct. If that's the case I would strongly NOT recommend Wye Island for the simple reason that nothing is cut yet. You will lose every dog you run in the corn and/or soybean. Sometimes the fields are not ...

remmy

Where did you read this? Can you post the link? I checked the AKC website and couldn't find this.

remmy

They are looking good Bill. I like the last pic of your female. Nice tails on all of them!

remmy

The contacts posted are good prospects. The best way to get the dog you want is to KNOW that the patents ACTUALLY hunt the game you will be hunting - don't take someon's word for it. GO AND SEE the parents or at least the dam HUNT. Now is a good time to get on some grouse don't know where they will...

remmy

DNA can only confirm who the sire/dam is, grand sire/dam and so on, based on the information you provide them of the pedigree. It cannot determine if the sire was a pointer or not. Hence, if the DNA does not match who you said it should then the AKC gives it a q registration.They will not bar it. Th...

remmy

yes and the only way it could be proved would be DNA. don't kid ur selves this went on for years and years. a shorthair that throws dogs with white ears or heads has some pointer in it. the original point of the post was in regards to the q. the q was created as a grandfather clause not as a tool t...

remmy

Just scroll through some of these dogs and see which ones have "twelve o'clock" tails. Chick's got a high tail. You want to call him a half pointer? http://www.gspca.org/Awards/HOF/dogs.html#chick Only vertical tail I see right off the bat is Inga. :roll: Why not. I know nothing about Esser's Chick...

remmy

Selina WAS out of Trilogy! :lol: This is all bs. As Joe said, this opens up the door for more cross breeding, which will end up being allowed after three generations. They really should pick a date to start with and grandfather everyone else in. Dan correct me if I'm wrong, but Havoc was always regi...

remmy

Congrats Art, Wendy and Doc Ryan. Also, congrats to everyone else that won.

Pretty lame, really, that there is nothing on the AKC website or Facebook page, nor on the GSPCA's site. God bless agility and national specialty shows...... ??? The OP's link has all the information you need, brace details, pictures and winners. I don't know about Facebook, since I'm not on it. GS...

remmy

Like mentioned, the handler and judge must stay on course. Where I trial, there are a lot of hedgerows intersecting. Do you really think the dog is briefed beforehand on where the course goes? The dog, for the most part, listens to the handler sing...that cues the dog on which way to go. Now, you ta...

remmy

I think you're confusing the east coast with the mid west. A good dog can adapt to any terrain.

remmy

How about running your FC in a gun dog stake rather than the limited stake, because the competition is not as severe, how does that make you feel. I agree with Joe but let me try to rephrase what he is trying to say. It is an unwritten rule that if your dog is a FC or AFC you should only run your d...
