Junior hunters don't retrieve, because they don't shoot the birds for them. You will see a few retrieves if the birds don't fly well and they catch them

I went to Pheasant Fest yesterday. To me it didn't seem like there were as many vendors or people as there was the last time it was in Omaha. It kind of surprised me that the 2 britt clubs in Nebraska didn't have a booth to display their dogs(The britt rescue people had a booth, but not the clubs). ...

I've noticed about every GSP I have ever been around DOES retreive. If you look at AKC titles in a gsp pedigree, anything with a field champ, senior hunter, master hunter has to retreive in order to get those titles. Shoot to retreive shorthairs as well have to retreive to get their title. AKC britt...

Litter plus will accept a blank on the name for the new owner to fill in and file at no cost. All my people have either supplied a name or part of one for me to finish. I am sorely tempted to edit a couple. Didn't know they would accept a blank on the name on Litter Plus. I might have to try that o...

All our puppies are registered before they are sold, and if for some chance not, we still do the paperwork then they transfer the dog into their name. If you individual register each pup in the litter, you have to supply a name for each pup. Are your new owners okay with the names you have picked f...

Breeders do your new pup owners register their pups? Since AKC has made it so I can look at my litters online, I've noticed only between 50% to 75% of the new owners register their pups with AKC. I just can't imagine paying $500-$600 for a pup and not spending $20 to register the pup. Another questi...

Don't feed too many deer bones at a time!!! Before I had britts I used to have 3 springers that I kept in the same pen.. After boning out a deer, I thru all the bones into the pen at the same time. They loved it--in 2 days the bones were gone. It bound the dogs up and they couldn't poop. I took them...

Usually they don't breed a full brother to a full sister. More often than not on a line breed it will be a half brother/half sister breeding OR maybe an uncle/niece breeding for the line breeding. One of the better know full brother/full sister breedings was Brittany Hall of Fame Dog--- NFC Micro Do...

Looking at the AKC numbers from the sire and dam, this is a brother mating his littermate sister. They both come from litter number SR469190. One is the 04 pup out of the litter, the other is the 05 pup out of the litter. The top side and the bottom sides of the pedigree will be the same. If you hav...

Glad to hear Ace is back from the vet and everything went okay

I think the main reason they are telling you not to teach sit is they are trying to save you from a possible future problem down the road IF you play dog games. From judging hunt test I have seen younger dogs sit while on point---This usually happens when the handler can't find the pointed bird in h...

My vet charged $60 for the relaxin test(28 days). He really likes that test, he said he it has been 100% so far. It was right with my female---not PG.

Continental Cargo. They will fly your pup no matter the temp, because they keep everyplace the pup goes climatized. Only thing is they like to know a week ahead of time. I've used them alot and have had real good luck with them. They hub out of dallas so pup shouldn't have to change planes much. Goo...

Another thing you could do is call the owner of stud #1(dead dog) and ask him if any of the pups (from the litter stud dog #2 came out of) were sold in your area. He'll have records on who bought pups from him and where they went. Get ahold of the guys in your area and talk to them about it. You cou...

What kind of dogs do you have. If you have britts, I know there is the MO Britt Club(breed club) and Ozark Britt Club(another breed club). There is also a weim breed club and a viz breed club in that area. Post your breed and it will be easier to get you pointed in the right direction. If it is brit...

Both are good looking dogs, but I like #2---seems a little more intense than the other one---I like dogs that lean into the bird and look like they are ready to explode

Has anyone tried I-Kam video glasses(glasses with a video camera in it). I was thinking it might be good to get vids of the dogs hunting. But I was kind of wondering what the quality of the vidoe is? Can you see anything over 15 yards away very well or are the pictures really small and hazy. How abo...

Watched football and on the compter--I've got dial up so the phone doesn't ring when I'm on it. Has she started feeding them yet??? If she hasn't fed them she is probably getting ready to have another pup. My pups usually come about every 20-30 min. until she gets towards the end when it goes to abo...

An hour between pups--you'll be up all night!!! Tell her to keep shucking them out and I'll keep sending buyers your way. I gave a guy(Smith) from Ashland your name on Friday. You better get off the machine and back to your ob job.

Used to be a guy right in Council bluffs that sold quail, but he usually tried to get rid of all his quail before the snow flew. His name is Clarence--phone number is 712-322-3581. If you don't have any luck with him, try Clayton Maahs down south of Lincoln.(402-217-1814)--sometimes he carries quail...

Welcome to Gun Dog Forum. You should be able to get a lot of useful information off this site. (The britt in my Avatar was an Idaho pup that I bought from Bob Lanham.). good luck with your future shorthair.

Along time ago Nebraska allowed shooting 1 hen aday on the weekends after the first of the year. The Game And Parks only did it a couple of years before they decided it was cutting deeply into their future breeding stock. I killed the hen a day on the week ends back then. Now, If I need to kill a he...

Welcome. There are a lot of people on this forum that can help you. There are all kinds of dog and bird games to play with your pup---hunt tests, shoot to retreive, Navda, field trials, + huntin'. If you would put your location below your pup picture so everyone knows your general area, you can prob...

The dogs that have PAL(Purebred Alternative Listing) or ILP(Idefinite Listing Privilege) numbers from AKC can earn AKC titles just like the registered dogs. They can only earn the titles that come after the name(hunt test titles, agility titles, tracking titles, obedience titles, etc.)---They can NO...

I had a female brit that would be solid on point until I started getting close. She would then move slightly to one side or the other and point again. I think she was worried she wouldn't be able to see the bird come up because my fat little body would be in the way of her marking the birds flight. ...

I suggest you don't take them to AKC events anymore (field trials, hunt tests, shows, whatever) until you get the fighting stopped. The dog starting it will get wrote up for fighting at their events. The second time they are wrote up AKC bans them from being in AKC events. Good luck getting the prob...

Some more they haven't listed yet include: Gambler's Ace In The Hole, Masked Shoshoni War Chief, Aux-Arc's Mark, Perry's Rustic Prince, Gun Runner's Far Out, Gringo De Britt. There have been alot of good huntin' dogs that have come from all of the dogs listed in these posts. Good luck finding your p...

I agree, join a club, either gsp or an all breed pointing dog club. You will get a lot of good ideas out of club members and you will probably find someone to help you train. It is always nice to have someone hold the checkcord, or plant a bird, or gun the bird, so you can put your full attention on...

DC-- When you get to the break away line, tell the judges this is your 1st time running in a test and most judges will talk you thru it as you go. Get your dog used to the judges horses before you run(a lot of younger pups will spend a lot of their running time checking out the judges horses---your ...
