I've got a Beretta and a Browning- I laugh- triggers on Brownings need work- and a fella's gun smith says any nut can make them good- priceless

this statement alone leaves one wondering- you are asking??

Shadow

not sure what happened

Shadow

it was more of- who is this guy- you know- all the talk here on the board and then to acutally meet- course it was interesting with 8 dogs- and we'd like that we can hatch these eggs mine are laying- intereting is- cools down and they stop laying- it's just about all grain country arround here- farm...

Shadow

Mav -hold on for your dream weim- surely one will come up someday whew- got all 4 Britt's out with tommy and it's been awhile- pups got wheels- have some work to do A/C Guy- Candy doesn't want anything to do with snakes- so when I came down here and then started seeing some crawling across the drive...

Shadow

I also think you don't have anything to worry about- just take it easy

geese- what I wouldn't give to have water like that over here-

Shadow

wait a minuet- there aren't any birds here- no water either- I had my game vest on with a few water bottles- sort of a trick to get the dogs to pay attention to me Showed Tommy what the Garmin is all about- had the farm marked, truck marked, and the dog tracks- also- you can take the batteries out a...

Shadow

hey Mav- did you get a silver bird dog pup- you were looking- is that what I see on the far right of your post

I've been looking arround for snakes on the farm- we're going to have an understanding when I see them

Shadow

Tommy is going to post- but I wanted to say First time I have met and spent any time with anyone on this board Tommy drove up from Oklahoma and brought his long tails- course he pulled into the driveway and saw 4 Britt's at attention- so before anything he had to come thru the gate to be greated- he...

Shadow

mcbosco- me flip flopping- I'm over here in the dry dust bowl country-

you haven't been around enought Britt's- I'd say you don't know

Shadow

hey now- mcbosco is coming down - he does realize that amoung us real bird dog folks every dog has to have manners- and being that these are bird dogs and he suspects mine don't have maners, standard proceedures would require that it's understood your dog has to go regardless of the temperature or c...

Shadow

well said Ruffshooter-

mcbosco is going to show me and mine how to behave and hunt

Shadow

hey- thanks for the PM- you're going to come out my way-

but you won't pet my Britt's now will you

and because you have monsters for bird dogs you'll allow mine to retrieve if they make the point and hold

Shadow

docile breed like yours- meaning a wallflower- so so in the bird field-

Shadow

slight error there

Shadow

I'd like to point out- original poster thinks he has an aggressive Britt- I don't quite see it that way- I think he has a Britt that isn't confortable arround strangers or strange dogs- and as such- shouldn't be in these situations- maybe time will tell- but this isn't the right time- keep that Brit...

Shadow

ahhhhhhhh mcbosco- in your terms- agressive dog- meaning one that has no respect for idiots who approach wanting to pet and love- without regard to that dogs space- correct- you have a wallflower- one that anyobody without any concern for the dog or it's territory walks right up and pets that dog- p...

Shadow

well Ezzy- lets put it in bird dog terms- I had a male who was an alpha- he would back and point- bird was flushed he went for the retrieve- another dog though he should get that bird- I looked at it as- you pointed it fella- you should get it- so did he- you go hunting with a dog like that- maybe a...

Shadow

ok Ezzy- you ever seen an alpha male or alpha female arround other dogs-

you ever seen how they walk and hold their heads up arround other dogs

I'm not talking about the alpha dog that has been broke down to submission by a control freak

Shadow

going to back out of this- somethings not quite right- I showed him, he was right arround, and 42 lbs

Shadow

vabrittfan- so I have a Britt that is big and runs like- well- he has wheels- should I figure you aren't happy because he's a wee bit over show standards No I'm not talking about the wee bit over. I'm talking about the 2-3" over & the dog that barely resembles a Brittany in looks. There is a reason...

Shadow

[quote="tdhusker"]they're a nice and trim little gun, Beretta-like in handling quality. If you have any issue it will be the triggers. quote]

so please explain Beretta-like in handling quality- being that I'm a Browning fan

Shadow

Az- can name the times that girls and others went up to him- "oh he's so pretty" while I would go "get back for christ sakes, are you nuts to walk up and want to pet him without caring one bit how he might feel" my mom is still mad at me- she said "shoot that dog he snapped at Chris" I said "mom, Ch...

Shadow

so I had to always keep an eye on him- and get him and me out of any comprimising situation http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj7/layoutboat/th_2323232327Ffp432353Enu3D32323E3B-1.jpg Shadow, I need you to come look after me, it sounds like :wink: You nailed it - being proactive is the key. I can n...

Shadow

hey Scott- my pups and adults love the rawhide chews I get from Walmart- been giving them to mine for the last 8 months

course mine don't try to swallow them whole

Shadow

vabrittfan- so I have a Britt that is big and runs like- well- he has wheels- should I figure you aren't happy because he's a wee bit over show standards

Shadow

30 years I've never seen a covey this time of year

think you've found a superb place- don't tell anyone- least of all anyone on here or we'd all want to come check it out

Shadow

Dead broke is more of a term used to impress fellow dog guys that don't know any better usually used by dog guys that don't know any better themselves,,, usually used in reference to a dog of the past. Can't pull the BS card on those dogs. A finished dog is one that the trainer had decided isn't go...

Shadow

I find that interesting- covey of birds this time of year

Shadow

that's the way to do it-

Shadow

good point Ray- quail and pheasants are nesting arround here- if I was to take dog out it would be in a place I figured birds wouldn't be nesting-

Shadow

good points- but man- have you even handled some of the O/U- or just shoping the net

Shadow

well said Ruffshooter- brittnamedbooth- here's a question- do you want to take him where other dogs are-- and are they looose- I had a big male Britt that was fine arround other dogs- untill they showed they wanted to approach with a bit of aggression- he would raise his head and look at them- if th...

Shadow

actually- it's not a bad thing that he doesn't like being arround other dogs- strange dogs

you rescued him he wants your attention doesn't want to share his space with other dogs- all sorts of things can happen with other dogs

Shadow

sounds about like any dog- if you intend to hunt sometime down the line you need to keep the dogs instints alive- some consider what you do when they are young and growing is critical- behavior in the house is dependent on how you relate- same as anywhere- he's young- you need to look at what you wa...

Shadow

not sure what you are asking-

wondering if your freinds have had young pointing dogs- pets or hunters

Shadow

hummmm and the new and improved with the tial

wonder if anyone is breeding for the looks of the old days

Shadow

both are nice- have you handled a Citori

Shadow

that's a good one- if you have one dog that doesn't like snakes it's not to hard to teach the others- if you have one that isn't- well that's another story back East I stopped running the Britt's where I used to- early summer- we were down in a crick bottom- I was standing still- looked down- nest o...

Shadow

fishvik- yep- chuckling- I encourage mine to stop and bark at something they aren't sure of- been working for 30 years- I've never had one get bitten, sprayed, stuck with quills- I also like to think they know about bees- being that I'm deathly allergic to them only thing I want mine to do is cover ...

Shadow

it's all interesting reading- what some should remember is- Hall of Fame- not pick apart venues of what he did, where he ran, where he didn't run-

maybe some could say they know of a hall of famer that wasn't all that good as a bird hunter- and being a bird dog- shouldn't be considered

Shadow

sent you a pm reply to yours- anytime Tommy- heck- 1/2 mile field will be something to see Annie eat up- you don't mind if I let Shadow and Lizzi run with her- like to see what they do when they see that Pointer tear out and lock up- birds arround- should be a good time- I'll strap on my 22- maybe t...

Shadow

texscala- exactly what you want- glad to say my female doesn't want anything to do with crawling things- she's not sure- she freezes- has a strange look

pups- I want to be sure they have no intention of getting close

same with all criters- if we aren't hunting them then move on

Shadow

they looked like rattlers- but no rattle- last year had 5 footers crawling arround

doesn't matter- I want mine to leave all snakes alone- so- they get lessons untill they learn to not go close-

Shadow

that's good- maybe even some pictures- see which one gets the most votes

Shadow

let me know when you are coming up- got a field we can turn some dogs loose- wondering what mine will think of long tails- bring a camera

Other than that, I'm not touching this thread with a ten foot pole.

well said

Shadow

yesterday mine were barking like crazy- jumped up I went outside to see what was up 88 degrees- a snake was slithering across the driveway mind you- Shadow is young- pups are younger- I'd like them all to be like Candy- "sit and don't approach" well- I let them all out- Candy doesn't want to go out-...

Shadow

I'm a little scared- Tommy is going to bring his pointers up here when he brings his setup to try to hatch these quail eggs

last year I had 60 some eggs- tried but failed to get them to hatch

Shadow

a gal on onother forum sent me her extra clipper- I'm afraid to start removing the hair from my Britt's- but I'm thinking
