That's cool... how can I find that list on the akc site?

MTO4Life

I'm sure they can... but some of the more seasoned FT folks could answer that for sure!!

The Smith wonder lead worked great with my dog.... she learned really fast to fall into step. She walks beside me all the time. She goes like heck's bells when we hit the field. I don't think her walking with me in town affected her hunting at all..

MTO4Life

WOW... that's awesome!!! Is that the same Shine my Brittany came 3rd to in the Amateur derby at the Oak Ridge Pointing Dog trial in PA on Nov 8/9? It's a unique name, so that is why I caught it!!

Anyhow, congrats to all on the new DC and the derby placements!!!

I have the puppy 1, puppy 2 and silent command videos. They were extremely informative. Not just to me, but other friends of mine who have dogs (retrievers at that... gasp). They found them great as well. FWIW!!

I use a Nylabone... the biggest you can get (I think it is called the Wolf size, but not sure)... she chews it for hours, and it's been going forever now. Good in the house too...

Thanks Kristi & Carl... we were happy to end the season that way. It's a really great early christmas present!!

MTO4Life

Wow... 33 dog stake!!!! Well done....

MTO4Life

Well.... we're home from CT...long drive, but made easier with a blue in the bag!!! What can I say... I'm so proud of my dog. She ran a stellar performance for me at the trial. She had 4 finds and a non-productive, and was hard charging from the start. Always ranging out front (she was hard to keep ...

MTO4Life

Geez Mav... what's with all the white stuff??? He he he... we only have 3 (maybe 4) inches where I'm hunting. Doesn't mean I'm seeing anything... only saw one grouse in 2 days. Oh well.... great pics and nice for the dogs to do some work for the kids....

MTO4Life

If you search First Aid Kit under the search feature, you'll come up with a few posts of what to look for/put in one. It has some good stuff (I'd post the thread, but am not sure how to do it!!!

)

MTO4Life

Well done... you take the points as they come and it'll happen!!!!

MTO4Life

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but a dog that eats incrediblly fast can be possibly prone to bloat? I was told that water in the food helps slow their eating down a little bit... maybe that's wrong, and if so, could someone set the answer straight for me please???

MTO4Life

Yes, it is too bad it is cancelled. I heard it wasn't from the snow, but because there were complaints from other derby owners that my dog is now in peak physical condition, that they figured they would have to just award the blues to my dog!! :twisted: :D :wink: Oh I'm kidding...,(don't want people...

My dog is the queen of doing her business during exercise. Even if she does a #1 and #2 before, once she's running, she'll go again. How can you prevent them from doing it, or will they hold it as you are in the house? Just wondering...

MTO4Life

My dog will run about 8 to 9 miles on a short exercise run. Have seen her around 16 miles on an afternoon hunt. Very cool tool and I can tell what she's doing and if she's running deer!!!! Wouldn't run her without it now...

MTO4Life

Excellent results!! Glad to see it worked out for you going to the event!! Hopefully that will continue this weekend in PA??!! See you then.

Whoa... that's not cool. I was hoping to hold off after our snow storm in October which gave us about 5 inches here in Cornwall... yikes!!

Thanks Karen... it was a good trial, even if the weather was bad. Jasmine ran awesome in the amateur. After busting her first bird, she had 2 great single finds, and her last was a covey of about 12 or more birds. She never flinched. It made me so proud of her. Can't wait to get back to the grounds....

MTO4Life

Yup... we're set to go for the Oakridge this weekend. I'm looking forward to it. Kinda nervous, as she hasn't had any bid contacts since being home (and have we tried... very bad year). However, she did point one area that I watched a grouse fly from a few minutes before and was pretty intent, so we...

I have used him as a Stud and got a very lovely litter. He is the sire to our "Soldier" - AKA Wild Mtn's Shake ya Tailfeather ...his lovely, lovely laid back temperament when he is not in the field. He is very easy to live with and so are his puppies. Soldier is a once in a lifetime dog for me........

MTO4Life

Just buy one of everything... can't go wrong then right?

Isn't everyone on this forum a millionaire??? I know I spend like it... he he

MTO4Life

How am I supposed to get pictures when I can barely handle a horse, let alone a horse AND camera?? I'm good, but not THAT good yet!!! He he he :D Hopefully I can get some hunting pics soon... (I can't take this pressure...). I had to bail on the Anthracite trial as Jasmine was still in heat... sigh!...

I used a Nikon D300 body with a 200-400 F4 VR lens.

Thanks![/quote]

WOW... very nice lens! I'd love one but can't afford the $$$$$. Keep up those pics....

Sharp looking dog! Best of luck with the ruffs... we're not having any luck here!!!

I had to use the collar when my dog started to chase deer. First time I hit her with it, I didn't say a word, and she just came back. Second time, she actually thought about it before giving chase, but did anyway, so I had to give her another shot. Was out the other day and she jumped a deer and jus...

MTO4Life

WOW... fantastic weekend! You should be proud of that!

MTO4Life

Well done... it's a great start to a promising competition career.....

MTO4Life

Today the horse-thing was a non-issue and Ginger ran like I knew she could. She took 1st Place (of 8 dogs) in the Puppy Stakes! Needless to say this is very gratifying. There was a bit of many of you out there today, because virtually everything I know about training and handling has come off this ...

MTO4Life

I brought my dog home the beginning of October from the trainer. Well, since I've been out with her, wild bird contacts are rare this year. Will this affect what my pup learned with the trainer? I'm doing a couple more trials and don't want her going backward from what she learned. I'm still working...

MTO4Life

Sounds like it is the same there for many as in Ontario, Canada. I've been out 3 times, only saw one each day until the 3rd day, then saw three. However, they are really skittish... would flush with the dog quite a piece away... what do you do?

MTO4Life

Excellent news!! Especially for the first time... you should be extremely proud. Good luck with the future trials, as since you have the first ribbon, you'll be looking for more!!

MTO4Life

I've only used my collar for trashbreaking. I had to hit my dog with it this past weekend that jumped a deer and she took after it. I hit her pretty hard and she pumped the brakes pretty quick and stood looking where the deer went, then just started hunting again. Next day, she jumped a deer again, ...

MTO4Life

they work fine on my end as well...

MTO4Life

My dog was the same way when she was young... snored like there was no tomorrow! Doesn't do it much anymore, but it is funny.... Great video...

MTO4Life

10-4 and thanks for the info Karen.... good luck at the Nationals as well!!!

Where can a person get Flagyl?

MTO4Life

I guess we don't live in a "perfect world" and we have to deal with the human element. :( There are many more things going on in a trial that effect the outcome besides walking or riding. Dry conditions, wet conditions, windy, not windy, green dog blowing up another dog, on and on an on. :roll: You...

You should be proud with that many birds found. With that kind of work, she'll be SH soon...

NICE WEEKEND!!!! That's great news for you and the dogs!

MTO4Life

Can anyone tell me if wild parsnip affects dogs? We are overgrown with it this year for some reason (possibly the wet summer??) and I get affected by it. Not sure if my dog will, and I don't want her to have issues with it. I'm sure it's like poison ivy, if she goes through it, I can get it from her...

MTO4Life

Well, we picked our dog Jasmine up this weekend at the Susquahanna trial. This is the 6th trial she has run this fall (all derby stakes) and placed 4th twice and 3rd the last three she ran in. No blues yet, but I'd say that this consistancy will benefit her as she has solid runs every time :P !! We ...

MTO4Life

AWESOME NEWS!!! That is really good to hear... hope to see her on the trial circuit later in the fall when I'm out and about! I hope that she will be the 3rd of many DC's you have from your work!!!

MTO4Life

Thx Greg... I'll go and get one!!!

What solvents protectants does everyone use to clean their shotguns?

I like Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber, and like G96 as well. They've been good for me. Hoppes also is good... Any thoughts/comments....

How long does a bore snake last?? Never used one, but like many, always wanted to.

MTO4Life

IMHO, everyone should keep Flagyl (Fish-Zole) in their dog kit. Whew, there are few things like being out of town and having the dog come down with lower-bowel GI and the resultant explosive diarhea. Would this help the effects of the Giardia until getting to the vet??? I never thought of something...

MTO4Life

Great looking dog... very nice!!!

uncotrolable behavior. In AKC it will cost 6 to 12 thousand per dog per year, in American Field 2 to 3 times that. There are folks that have spent a million dollars trying to win the National Championship at Ames. Neil Why would it cost more with AF vs AKC? Just curious. I've never done AF (yet :wi...
