Welcome from north central Missouri

hpvizslas

Skimming through your post, I would lean towards a wire-haired vizsla. They should do everything you wasn't to.

Happiness Personified was a fitting name. This was not the only name that she was called, most commonly she was known as Sienna. Angel was her first name before we got her, Battery Butt was another moniker, and that is what she had. This dog never stopped moving, she was always happy to see you, no ...

Great idea, I am feeding Native Level 3, price is about $1/lb

I would be interested in seeing the end results.
Thanks

I'm thinkn WITHIN A year to year and a half ill will be getting one or a GWP, I was wondering if they can run up with a GWP in versatility since I like to waterfowl hunt the majority and want to get into upland with my own dog and not hunting with a buddy. And issues with the breed to watch out for...

I have a wirehaired Vizsla who is just over two years old. What are you needing to know?

hpvizslas

I fed Diamond for a while but started having issues and even though they said there was no change in formula, we noticed a difference. We have switched to Native by Kent and are very happy with it, we are feeding less, so the cost is evening out. Good luck on whatever you decide to feed.

hpvizslas

There has been interest in putting this together, so if you are interested in getting together with us, please let me know and I will send you the details. If you have already sent me your information, I will be sending you more info shortly.
Thanks

Hello all, I am interested in starting a training club in northern Missouri. This club will be based out of Macon County. The club will evolve into whatever level of training is desired by the members. We could have hunt test/Navhda type training one month and field trial training another. This club...

Congrats, sounds like you had a great time and did well. Was there a good turn out?
Jeff

hpvizslas

Is Tiffany going to be there? That may help if someone thinks that the entry fee is too high.

hpvizslas

John, I am mobile right now but the information that I posted is just a little of what you can find. Vizslas are closer working dogs that are meant to find both fur and feather. Doesn't man that there aren't some that can range farther out but the original purpose was to be closer working. Pointers...

The vizsla's forebears may have included breeds that the Magyars collected as they swarmed across Europe before settling in Hungary over a thousand years ago. Writings on falconry from the Middle Ages describe dogs of vizsla type. The Hungarian plains were rich in game, and hunters wanted a fast but...

[quote="fuzznut If I wanted to run with pointers, I would own a pointer! Different game, different dog. Fuzz[/quote] This right here answers the question. While all-breed trials are great and can be fun, there are too many differences between the dogs for each dog to get a fair shake. The different ...

hpvizslas

I have always heard that the main difference is in application. The AA dog will see an objective and hunt that objective, then will find a new objective and hunt that. The SD will hunt from objective to objective covering the ground in between. Would this be the case of why we are seeing more of a b...

hpvizslas

Welcome, if you are ever in North Central Missouri, look me up. I am interested in learning more about falconing.
Thanks
Jeff

hpvizslas

Sounds like a great event. There should be plenty of people around this forum that have a great chance at winning. Hope to see a bunch of people there.

hpvizslas

I will have two that will be entered.

hpvizslas

Elsa,
Let's get together and discuss. Let me know when, are you going to the QF meeting tonight?

Chris,
That would be great if it wasn't a drive. I was hoping to find something within a 45 mile radius but I do plan on making your next trial, just make sure that you have puppy stakes.

hpvizslas

I have been looking for a training club in Northeast Missouri but have not had any luck finding one. Does anyone know of any in the area? If not would there be any interest in getting a club started?

hpvizslas

Wish I could make it but don't have any dog ready this year. They are a great group of people and we attended several of their events when we lived in Nashville. I will be sure to get to it next time they have a trial or test. Good luck and have fun. Buy some of those Kentucky walking sticks if they...

hpvizslas

Greg,
You live in Ohio now, which puts you north of the Mason-Dixon line. Therefore, this recipe for sweet tea is null and void.

hpvizslas

I think that this year won't be as bad as people think. Or let them keep thinking that way. I heard several birds this summer and look forward to getting out soon.

hpvizslas

You might also consider the Wirehaired Vizsla. If you are a duck hunter now, it would be hard to pass up the mudholes. I have smooth Vizslas and a wirehair Vizsla. The WHV is able to handle the cold just as well if not better. Look at what you want, I think you will be happy with whatever you choose...

Christmas 2011 -- Birth of a New Tradition As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods -- merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year...

hpvizslas

Chris,
Are you running the trial in the order that you have listed? Such as Gun Dog running last on Sunday?
Jeff

hpvizslas

When we had it done, I was there to help hold and she didn't fight us at all. With that being said, this one may be different.

Next question for you would be what is the cost difference with sedation vs. without? What do you charge if there is no difference?

hpvizslas

dog dr wrote:hey guys. just wondering about the preference for no sedation on OFAs. Is thre a specific reason you prefer that?

Why put a dog under when it is not necessary?

hpvizslas

Thanks for all the replies, I will be trying to find someone soon, just have to wait for the 24 month birthday, which is coming up soon.

hpvizslas

I like the name Cap.

hpvizslas

Now where is Omaha?? Or Lincoln?? Are these places where people live or the names of roads?

Glad you made it back.

hpvizslas

Sounds like a great trip and you have got to love the sand burrs of Nebraska. Magic was able to ignore most of them until she landed in the middle of a mine field. Sienna and Twister backed off much quicker.

hpvizslas

Let me know. Twister will be two in October and we want to get it done as soon as possible.
Thanks

hpvizslas

Any recommendations for a vet that will do the OFA xrays without anthesia?

Have not seen anything, did I miss it?

I would go for the baby. More fun year round :D :wink: :oops: and they can always help with the dog later on. Now onto your question about what breed. We have two Vizslas, a Wirehaired Vizsla and two english pointer pups. All of them are in the house (I need to get the kennel built, to keep my wife ...

hpvizslas

So, it's to show that the dog is broke and protect the AKC revenue stream? Reference earlier comment about being a bad requirement and needing to be reworked.... Greg, I don't disagree that it could be reworked, but I don't see it as a requirement that the dog have a MH after it's name. It is just ...

hpvizslas

If it's only to show that the dog is broke, then why are American Field placements or NAVHDA UT1 or VC not allowed? Seems to me, it's just a bad requirement and should be reworked. My idea is that it should make for a better trial and an all around better experience. Because this is the AKC that we...

hpvizslas

From AKC:2) The minimum qualification to enter the stake shall be one broke dog field trial placement or a Master Hunter title[/b]; The entire reason for this type of requirement is to show that the dog is broke. Most people would not want to see a derby entered in a NFC. The MH shows that the dog ...

I kind of like the red dogs myself.

With the addition of the two new pups we are nursing, we are going to need to build a kennel. Does anyone have suggestions on kennel panels? Also any other recommendations on the building itself?
Thanks

hpvizslas

From what I understand Haulin is still missing.

hpvizslas

Congrats! I knew it would only be a matter of time. :lol: It really doesnt matter what sex you choose, it only matters on the dog. I would suggest buying a started puppy though. Then you have a better idea of what your getting and can improve your chances down the road of staying on the dark side! ...

hpvizslas

Considering switching over to the dark side (will have to figure out a new kennel name) and getting a pointer. I have a couple of litters that I am considering and will be watching a few trials to see what dogs I like. The plan is to get a pointer that would be competitive at walking trials here in ...

Congrats to Rooster. Sounds like he is getting along fine.

Curious about opinions on how to start a 14 month old dog that has not had much of an introduction to birds. Was talking with a guy who suggested putting the dog on a barrell and teaching whoa before ever putting any birds out, seems like a strange way to me. This is not a boxer but a dog that shoul...
