Nice work. Is that the same dog in you avatar??

Birddog3412

Nice painting, but Ive never been hunting with a poodle or a walker.

Birddog3412

I think it would be something that is at least worth trying.

Birddog3412

As far as the phenals and hydrocarbons, I dont know enough about it to have an opinion.

I would not use them in a whelping pen because they would stick to the puppies and make it harder for the jip to clean them off.

I remember my first bird hunt, I was 7 or 8 years old with my Papaw (who passed away 3 years ago) my uncle, my dad, and my brother. We hunted behind Papaws pointer Bob. I had my Red Rider that I had just got for Christmas. We got into 4 or 5 covies that day. Later on in my teens I hunted over a poin...

Crap.....Im not giving enough. I usually use one tube between two 50lb dogs for three days.

Dumb question....Why is horse weight and dog weight different when giving panacur paste?????

Birddog3412

Could you make the pic a little bigger???

I go with a group of friends to South Dakota every year. We hunt all private ground. A combination of CRP, corn fields, cattails. Ill agree with most everyone as far as "some hold, some flush wild" in the open ground where you can see a dog. Most of the cattail patches we hunt, the cattails are 6 ft...

There are 30 dogs in a 4 generation pedigree and you give us 4 dogs??? How bout a complete pedigree. Those four are good ones, but to me that doesnt really tell me much.

Hes on that too.

Birddog3412

Randy lack was on...I think it was called "Western Wings". Forgot about that one.

I think he may have been on one episode of either American gundog or bird hunter.

Birddog3412

I thought there was a post in the last couple of weeks, someone wanting a started dog out of him but I searched and cant find it. Anyone see it? Know who it was?

Birddog3412

I used to watch Benellis American Bird Hunter and American Gundog (I think both of them have been canceled, just reruns). I liked the BDC Tournement hunter, but havnt seen it for a while.

Birddog3412

It can vary from dog to dog I had an old farm Mutt as a kid that loved chasing coyotes and she kept doing it until about 13 or 14 when arthritis finally took her over not to mention she was deaf and mostly blind had her put down before winter came so she wouldn't suffer so much from the pain the co...

Must be your network. Sorry man.

Policy on negative recommendations: 2. To protect GDF from harrassing lawsuits. GDF doesn't have the financial means to defend itself from such. Greg J. I dont see where financial means has much to do with it, who wants a lawsuit even if they have plenty of money? :wink: If anything needs to be cha...

Birddog3412

On that shadymeadows thread that was blocked probably wasn't bad. Not for the reason they stated but the fact that the "person" starting the thread had one post. It looked like someone either looking for a fight or shadymeadow himself wanting to find stuff out. It was quite obvious. I do admit this...

Ron that poor girl looks to much like her dad!!

I have both and like both. I have poly max flooring in which you can purchase from farmtek which works out great. I am aware of a dog that got severely injured fro the Scott's kennel brand flooring. He still ain't right to this day Jmo Chris Ritter Would you please elaborate, not sure how one could...

What are you using for flooring? Those look good!

Thanks. Expanded metal in a couple, hog confinemen flooring in the others.

I have one real Scott kennel. I like the floor in it better, but it is expensive. I think a 24in X 36in piece is 50 bucks.

Birddog3412

Either one is fine IMO. Here are some pics of my homeade kennels

Birddog3412

Ya I know. I work in an oil refinery, the first time I met him he came out to shoot pidgeons with this $2000 pellet gun. Has laser sights, the whole nine yards. I asked him "Where the heck were you on career day when I was in high school?"

For the sake of this thread lets say the definition of the work "Gimmick" is: An unneeded device used to train a hunting dog! Then how can we call a bird launcher a gimmick yet an ecollar is not? I for one, consider the e-collar and launchers as tools rather than gimmicks and work well when used pr...

Birddog3412

Just because you know 1 pro who doesnt use a launcher doesnt make it wrong to use one. People do thing different, to each his own. I have George Hickoxes DVD that I reference alot, he has probably trained more dogs this year than I will in my life. He teaches his dogs to Kennel first, I teach mine H...

Birddog3412

Do you think your dog cant tell the difference between all these smells? Your correct in alot of what you say, but it is called training, not real deal. Did you play sports in high school? You didnt just wake up one day and start playing basketball, you leaned to dribble with your strong hand, then ...

Birddog3412

Harrassing game is correct, not sure if it is illigal in all states though. Even if it is not, I would think people would not want to be out messing with the birds in the spring while they are brooding.

Birddog3412

No you do not NEED all the extras but alot of them are nice. I bet 30 years ago an ecollar was thought of by some as a training gimmck!!! You dont NEED an electric or gas heater, you could be cutting wood all year round to heat your house (some still do). just makes things easier gives you time to d...

Birddog3412

Who thinks theses gimmicks are a must for training dogs ie launchers, backing dummy, etc. When I first joined this forum and still today it is very highly recommend by several on this bored that you need these devices. The longer I train and more people I train with the more it seems to me these de...

Birddogz wrote:It really depends on the dog. You are about right. Are your dogs outside?

Yes they are outside. I just figure the manufacturers come up with the feeding amount in ideal conditions......70 degrees year round.

Birddog3412

Regardless of what dog feed you use, how much more than the recommended amount do you feed in the winter/hunting season. For example: my recommended amount for a 25 - 50 lb dog is 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups. In the off season I feed 2 cups, depending on the dog. This time of year I am feeding the same 45 l...

http://www.airxinfo.com/rx66.html I ordered a quart to have on hand. I know a guy who works for the USDA. He is kind of an exterminator of sort. He goes to airports and shoots deer off the run way, gets rid of skunks, pidgeons, etc. Any type of nuicence control. He told me about this stuff, swears i...

Id buy a CVA Optima for about half the price as the Encore and just a accurate. And then either an 870 in 20 ga, or a mossberg sa 20.

Briar patch your example was alot better and well taken.....touche Ac guy and anyone else who did read all the posts........I agree give them a new puppy, I even said I would. I cannot find in any post where anyone disagreed, I just couldnt wrap my head around all the logic. Ezzy, How can you have a...

Birddog3412

I dont think I am being understood!! I understand that alot of you would give a replacement puppy if one you sold developed a problem.....I would probably do the same if I was contacted by a buyer. What I mean is, I have thousands of dollars invested in this dog if it is almost 3 years old, and who ...

I did mean propylene glycol thanks.....but it is used as an antifreeze also.

Birddog3412

I here what you are saying about the email/phone call thing. I also feel that people who call are usually alot more serious about buying. But you do have the peope who want to talk forever on the phone with no intention of buying. I have figured 1 out of 4 people emailing me are really interested, t...

First off, if you have ever used pour on ivomec on cattle then you would not want to mess with it with dogs. It stays on the cattle for days in a wax form. Everyone always talks about giving 1/10 cc per 10 lbs (1% solution) or diluting it with ethalen glycol. I buy the .27% ivomectin, then give 1 cc...

I just got a 6 year old Pointer home yesterday in the middle of the coldest week this winter. She came from 75 degree weather, it is 20 here calling for 6 tonight. Needless to say she doesnt have a winter coat. I kept her in the garage last night, put her out in a run for a couple hours, now back to...

This is a spin on th puppy contract post. I have seen people guarantee a pup from 7 days to 36 months. I would stand behind my pups for a few weeks assuming it wasnt something the new owner had caused but at some point the new owner has to take responsiblity. I mean my house didnt even come with a 3...

Birddog3412

I would rather do an extensive puppy questionnaire as opposed to a contract. I think if you are sitting at a table and ask a possible buyer if they would spend $2,000 to have a sock removed from a dog's stomach and they act weird, then you might want to skip them. If I had someone ask me that I thi...

Birddog3412

I agree with most everything Ezzy said in all his post. I also would not buy a pup from someone who told me what to do with the pup. As far as I am concerned what I want to do with a pup is none of the buyers buisness (but I do understand your reasons for the contract). Have you talked to a lawyer a...

I think it is funny how everyone says (and I am guilty of it too)......"I have a friend who does it this way so it must be right, I have a trainer who said this so it must be right"

If I had a friend who was a vet, would you trust me to spay your dog?

For the last few years a local lady has been painting big Christmas cards on ply wood, theme of your choice, and they are set up as decoration at the city park. This year I thought I would have her paint one for me.

"Marsh grass straw." Whats that? Grass is what horses eat and straw is what you bed 'em down in. Straw is cut stubble left over from harvesting various cereal crops. I hate the stuff for dog bedding. It breaks down quickly, is usually dusty and harbors fleas. Cheap, but lousy dog bedding but is the...
