blackjack...love the pup and the breed

Where did you get her from? Lines?

PntrRookie

gar-dog...deer poop, rabbit poop...must all taste good to them! My setter loves those bunny droppings!

GREAT picts, sure wish we did not have 2 ft of snow on the ground. How old are both your little ones?

PntrRookie

My setter is currently 6 months old. Whenever she is riding in the truck, in her crate, she drools. And I do not mean just a few snot knockers here or there, I mean she drools to the point of making her crate WET! This morning I took her for a short ride - couple miles or so. Ran some errands and st...

Subscribe to the Field...he is featured quite often and he is a handsome looking fella. I have a chestnut tri-color setter that looks like him. Unfortunately she is the wrong breed.

PntrRookie

Happy New Year...May you always wear a smile, sure makes others wonder what you are up too!

PntrRookie

Do it as naturally as possible...on a sunny day. Put the sun to YOUR back so it is hitting the dog in the face, and the side you are taking the pict from. Keep your shadow out of the picture. Get on the ground so you are shooting UP at the dog. I like the pictures of dogs without collars on them. Ma...

First let me say I am NOT a breeder. I personally do not like a sickle tail. I just saw a litter at 4 weeks and the tails looked very nice, held high and SHORT. My setter has a long tail and at 6 months I can see a little "curve" in the last 3-4 inches. To your question...do I think setter breeders ...

PntrRookie

Love mine, just emailed Tri Tronics to get a price on another Receiver for the new setter I just got!

PntrRookie

I have to agree with whitedogone on http://www.loupasqua.com/ The setter print he had on the cover of PDJ a month or so ago "Perfect Pair" was outstanding. I checked out his website and think that one was the best he has done. I am a graphic designer by trade and look at these prints closely for cor...

Chip, Caden's (Dennis, Gary and Jeff) were very instrumental in the training of the UT Small Mun. Mostly on a one-on-one session with the owner. The owner handled the SM to the UT title.

PntrRookie

FYI...Dennis may have info, but it would probably be in line with the Small Mun. He did not put the UT on the SM, the owner did it themselves.

Prairiefire, welcome aboard fellow Badger! hopefully we'll keep you away from the Vikqueens:)

BEAUTIFUL looking pup and seems to be in good hands with Greg. Where did you get him from? Can not help much with the clubs you mentioned, due to the fact I am in SE WI, but best of luck and welcome!

You sure have that right!

The Stotts are very dedicated to the GSP line and have a large influence of the Shooting Starr genetics. Their dogs are very solid and have performed extremely well in NAVHDA.

I have 2 pups out of Ruger from Cadens Kennel and I really like them BUT I would not consider these pups closer to med range. If he's want closer to med range then I would look more along the line of some NAVHDA or AKC gundog breedings. There is a lot of good bloodlines and breeder of those bloodli...

Background...6 month GSP introduced to guns and has pointed and chased (30/70) birds. Next step is that we would like to have the pup stop chasing and get her to stop on scent contact. How would YOU do it. Go back to yard work and get whoa down? Pop pigeons so she figures out she can't catch them & ...

Thanks Dave...I am heading to Springfield, Massachusetts to get my name there ASAP!

NAVHDA Hall of Fame at 3 years old...as the site states. How does one become a HOF at three? I am asking this as a serious question...not to question the capabilities. What did he do to get there so soon?

We don't use the whoa post but teach woah on the check cord and eventually start overlaying the whoa command with a nick on the belly. We work them this way until we can stop the dog with the nick only with no command. The belly collar is only used for whoa. The ncek collar is used for everything e...

Beautiful highcotton! Thanks for sharing.

I believe Doc is getting back into the dogs a bit more. The Shooting Starr lines have been carried on for years though many kennels and good breeders. If you have a "Shooting Starr's XYZ Dog" up front of your pedigree, it should be a solid dog. In any breed...grouse are tough birds to handle...not s...

jwenorthpark, Welcome and nice you have a fellow Badger online! As lvrgsp stated Caden's has a good following for the GSP. I guess we are assuming your addition will be a Shorthair.

I agree with the Kuranda idea - metal frames! My GSP chewed and destroyed ANYTHING you put in there. My wife was so pi$@ed off, I almost spent time in his room with him. Went to the Kuranda beds over a year ago and could not be happier. The cloth "bed" is secured inside the metal frame...thus NO edg...

PntrRookie

I would. Just do not reinforce it or encourage it.

PntrRookie

Hang in there Brad...new pup...chewing comes with the territory. By all means get the pup as tired as possible. Keep her attention on other stuff. Get her some allowable chew toys. It will eventually slow down and end. IMO I would keep the discipline up.

Tony, grouse numbers are good, but better in Michigan:) Just kidding. I have access to a vacation rental in the heart of grouse country. Check it out and if you are interested contact the owner. Tell him "Rookie" told you about it. http://www.vrbo.com/89579 Or shoot me a PM and I will help ya out.
