Craig Thompson of Ranchone Kennels would be your best bet for Fiddler blood. The dogs he produce are extremely classy, run to the front, and find birds. "Poker Straight" tails I might add. These dogs have been very successful on the West Coast. I have a derby from Craig that is doing very well on th...

I would recommend that neither straw or grass hay be used as bedding. I am just coming to this conclusion. I have used both for years with no problems, but have been fighting a severe upper lung irritation that has been very hard to treat. I have been to several Vets and none of them can identify th...

Yes, they are kenneled outside on concrete runs. I have prairie grass in the dog houses. This has also been a discussion (Moldy Hay). I have kept it changed out on a regular basis, making sure I don't use any grass that may look moldy. My first thought was that maybe a fine dust inside the houses ma...

Dog Dr. That what I am thinking. The odd thing is both dogs have never went off of feed, act lethargic or anything. I do think they are done on bird finding ability. I haven't noticed a obvious loss of gas (go), but It has been extremely cold here and haven't been able to run. I did run a few trials...

The rest of the Story: My female a competetive fieldtrial dog (RU-Derby Region 14 AFTCA) All-Age disappeared from my kennel and lived feral for 5 months. She disappeared Feb. 15 and was caught in a live trap on July 29th. 2010. She was skinny and rundown when I got her back. She was put on a rigid w...

I have 2 english pointers that have a chronic cough. This cough was what I thought was Kennel Cough sounds like a dog is trying to clear it's throat of a chicken bone or something. Sounds like a honk. Seems to be worse when dogs are just turned loose. I have been to the vet and treated with a 10 day...

Just a quick question. The ability of my dogs to find birds has dropped off drastically. I have also noticed a continued snorting, clearing of the nasal passage indicating issues. My dogs are kenneled on cement. I keep timothy grass hay in the dogs houses and boxes. Any insight, am I causing this wi...

Sir, I agree with the others. The later the better. Crops continue to come off later and later. Farmers are much more accommodating when the feed is in the bin. I don't know if you are planning to hunt private or public walk-in ground, but there should be plenty available. The areas around Larned, e...

Think about what you are doing here. If you have a female that you want to build upon it makes sense. In many situations it takes far to long (time-wise) to breed the female to different studs & then evaluate the offspring. Linebreeding has been very popular in both horses & dogs. Once again, if you...

Look at this information this way. If a guy has time to post full time exaggerating on all their experiences ask yourself one question. When does all this dog training take place?

Rich,
I was thinking of purchasing a horse from Ohio. The owner was going to meet me in the Sandhills of Nebraska as he is judging the chicken championship being held there. I don't think it is going to work for me.
Hoping to see you in Circle.

Sonny

Rich,

Are you talking about the championship being held in Ameilia Ne.? Are you going? I am in need of someone to help me with a transport of a horse. I am from Montana. A friend of Mr. Turley, I met you last year at Circle. Let me know.

The Heskett advertised on e-bay would be a good buy @ 525.

Eric, Thanks for the kind words. You are exactly right. Mr. Oliver does indeed breed true workin horses. These horses are sound and have a head on their shoulders that is the same day after day. Mr. Oliver raised the mare I have for sale. She has produced several very nice foals. I do not want to ra...

12yr. old TWH Mare: Registered with the TWH Heritage Society. Mare has been used to handle, scout, etc. She has a very nice short stride, with a flat footed walk and smooth rack. Will go all day. Out of the famous Red Bud's Rascal. Asking price of $1750 is negotiable. Located @ Billings, MT. 406-860...

Hanna's Elhew Lou, Just a little background on Lou. She was a left over pup from a litter raised by my good (late) friend Ralph Thompson. Ralph resided in McPherson, Ks. and loved a good bird-dog and had the knack of good breeding. Lou was the left-over pup from the litter. She originally was called...

Hannah's Elhew Lou.For those that don't know Lou was a left over pup from a litter.  Nobody wanted her.   My good friend Ralph Thompson from Mcpherson Ks. raised her as a puppy & gave her to Bryce Flaming (His Stockbroker) as a gift.  I had the top (2) PICS OUT OFthis litter that Lou(originally Bett...

Ross,
Sure that pup isn't 9 mo. old. Nice looking pup. Looks very nice pointed & moving.

Ben,

Thanks
