Same weekend as GSPC of Eastern Iowa WFT

Show the judge how good the dog is

Something that is all to frequently not done in a MH test. If you have a Master dog for goodness sakes show it!!!

original mngsp

NIce job Brian, congrats!!

original mngsp

Not worth the time. Go run walking trials or test in a different venue.....

Right on. Just about the AKC getting more $$$

original mngsp

The cost of an extra $15 bucks on enticing a newbie to the sport? Priceless

A puppy stake at a walking trial is about the best chance to hook a new one.

original mngsp

Yikes, a $50 Open Puppy entry fee!! Not picking on you guys alone, kinda was figuring entries were gonna be needing to go up to keep pace with all the expenses.

Does anyone have a photo of this dog available? He won the 2001 NGSPA NFC and i cant find a photo of him anywhere.

I sent in entries to the GWPCof Eastern NE Walking trial scheduled for March 3-4. Barring unforseen circumstances I plan to be at that one.

The GSPCMN has a new website up along with a new domain name.

http://www.gspcmn.org

Will be keeping this site current with all upcoming club events and timely news.

Good question...I go with who says yes.

Very very true

Seriously!! What right would a host club have to tell me what I can ride. The club that is working hard, providing volunteer labor, transporting and planting birds, providing food and beverages, paying expenses to get good qualified judges, driving dog wagon, etc so the event is fun and successful ...

Some trials will flat out not allow stallions.

Even where its not stated as a rule, its usually frowned upon.

Surprise

, the AKC wanting more money. Really getting to be less and less about pure breed dogs, much less sporting dogs, and more about the $$$$$$ Just check this out http://www.akc.org/pdfs/mixedBreed/brochure.pdf

Its mostly a genetic thing. With that out of the way, you can help the issue in a young dog by not focusing too much on tracking of birds and other ground scent things. You can also when training plant some birds in a bush or other places that are 1-2 feet off the ground. Neither of these idea will ...

For the last few years I have used a 2 quart canteen http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/n ... x?a=187243. This carries easily and the 2 quart capacity comes in real handy in September when its warm and natural occurring water may be scarce.

The only purpose of this thread is that I wanted to see where my opinion stood in relation to others. Contrary to popular belief, if I'm wrong, I'd like to know about it. :) Its a gray are of the AKC rule book. Unless its something that is blatantly dangerous or absolutely against the spirit of the...

Congrats Howie!!

My Garmin is a great training and hunting tool. I use it in trials too as I sold off my tracker awhile back.

If it was solely about recovery of a lost dog, I think a good telemetry system is still the best and most reliable.

If a guy was smart i think he would own both.

In a Hunt Test i wouldnt have any problem having a handicapped handler being on a horse or an ATV so as to be able to enjoy the activities that most of us take for granted. Here is where I have an issue or question. In a walking field trial stake, if a handicapped handler was able to ride a horse I ...

weather doesnt look too bad http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USMT0103

I'm gonna head out of here around 8:00 AM tomorrow, go get the horse and make my way down to Branched Oak.

Anyone else gonna be there?

When I talked to Steve H on Tuesday he said they had about 80 entries.

I used to know this, but have lost my notes.

Does anyone know the dosage for mixing Duramycin-10 powder in water for keeping quail healthy?

Isnt the Hawkeye SD Championship single course? I've never been to it, but i dont think there is enough ground at Palo for multiple courses.

original mngsp

My local trial grounds are about 30 minutes away. But have gone to Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, and Michigan. Planning a North Dakota trial this fall, Montana next fall, and maybe a trip to Arkansas in February of 2013.

Glad to hear the Four Lakes GSPC will be having a WFT again. Hopefully the GSPC of MN will get back to having one during the spring of 2012. The walking AA stake was am Erbe idea. They had it a few years back when the GSPC of NE held their WFT in late August at Branched Oak. It was the last stake to...

I take it the Minn. DNR website is down

Heaven forbid they leave it up for informational purposes during the shutdown. Bunch of buttheads!!

If my memory serves me right, I think the out of state small game license is good for the whole season.

said possibly the worst heat wave in 10 years here I hope not.

yup, this sucks.

Before i built a place to house birds I used the Quail Condo from Lion Country Supply, http://www.lcsupply.com/Better-Quail-Co ... tinfo/BQC/ , with great success with up to a dozen birds.

I'm planning on hitting the GSPC of NE FT the end of August to see if with a little luck we can qualify for the Nationals. I'm also planning to take a day off my first hunting trip of the year to go to the Old Dominion Vizsla Club FT being held in near Towner, ND. About an hour or so from my hunting...

I'm sure state employees weren't whining. They got unemployment and a extended vacation.

I have an opportunity to go sharptail hunting this September up around Devils Lake, ND. I have never been in that part of the state before for anything.

Is there birds there? How is the terrain? What about land accessibility?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome aboard. Nice looking pup.

Nope, Anoka Independent Feed and Grain in Andover. St. Francis Hardware has a selection that makes TSC's inventory seem large.

I have had to get an odd bag from time to time at TSC and you really need to look hard in the store to find a few bags, and when you do they seem priced high to me. I get mine from a local independent feed/grain store and they have a much better stock and i have been able to work out a discount with...

This sounds great, but I'm pretty certain the State of Minnesota and it's DNR will find a way to mess it up or at minimum not be nearly as effective as it is in other states.

I just got back from the trial about 30 minutes ago and have to unload, decompress and clean up. I'll try to get the results up tonite, but if not tonite then tomorrow morning.

Dan, how did old Buck boy do for you at Portage?

Wild birds by far. I have stopped trialing in the fall since i hate loosing a weekend available to bird hunting. Even hunting its more about the dogs than it is killing birds. Dogs develop and do what they were meant to do finding and handling wild birds way more than working on pen-raised birds at ...

What is the age differences with puppy and derby? off the top of my head i'm not sure about puppy but in AKC Derby stakes are for dogs between 6-24 months old.
