I have a 4.5 yr. old Setter, hi performance, great nose, long story short it is my 1st dog, so the 1st year or so we did just a few sessions with a trainer, due to $$$ and other things I had to do most of the training myself by stealing what info I could off others! He is steady on "whoa" on pointin...

I meant shock collar for keeping dog in range not cc!

My 4.5 year old male Setter has become a barker the last year or so, it is beginning to bother nieghbors, he barks for 15 or 20 minutes when I come or go from the house, (he is in a 10x10x6 tall kennel) he barks after I feed/water him, even after hours of hunting and I kennel him he barks for 15 min...

Beecher

that dog will be a good one, a keeper for sure!

Beecher

I thank you, my dog seems to run big, I just wonder what guys did before beeper collars to locate dogs on point in thick stuff when they could not see the dog? I will get a beeper collar someday when budget allows! By the way my dog will hunt day light to dark with or without bird contacts, he never...

Not sure but here is the kink to their website, click on "about us" when u visit the site and they tell their history! http://grouseridgesetters.com/

How far out do u guys let your dogs work? How do u know when they are on point in a thicket if u cannot see them?

Beecher

not sure about those lines but I found an English Setter pup 4 years ago that was bred with heavy Grouse Ridge blood, doing some research I found that the grouse ridge line goes back to a relative of Llewellin that brought some dogs back to America that were bred very much in the Llewellin style, I ...

i just did the online thing and after clicking print license it jumped to the reciept page and printed that only, i purchased a reprint for $11 and it did it again, I called the office and got sales, they said call back Monday for help, I wanted to hunt Monday?????? :? never again, I will buy in per...

Beecher

Did u get that dog from Grouse lines? If so that is normal instinct, many a Grouse woods dog act different at first when taken to the open fields, they are looking for the cover, just keep consisent, find birds and keep at it then the dog will learn!

Beecher

nice pic, thanx for sharing.

Beecher

Scotts was the first ones I seen 25 years ago, I think that is what gd supply has now!

Beecher

I change the water daily, but with him 5 times a day is needed, especially in the summer, he splashes to play, I had them raised and he raised up on hind legs to kick in them, I even added baby pool to play in, still got in his drink buckets? I am going to try large diameter pvc pipe plugged on ends...

Beecher

I use 2 rubber buckets, a 1 gallon and a 3 gallon for water in my dog kennel (1 english setter), the problem is when he plays he splashes his paws in the buckets for fun and I have to constantly refill them, I mean several times a day! Anyone have a water setup that he could drink from but not get h...

Beecher

You should not have to do this but: with all the courage u have and hiding your anger, go to them, show proof of their dogs on game camera, show these pics, and also visit new neighbors and show these pics, get the word out, I can remember 25 years or so ago we had an old mutt, loved to roam, I woul...

Beecher

I am looking for Belgium Browning barrels, 20 and 12s, I hunt with both!

Beecher

Sounds great, I cannot wait for my 1st Kansas trip next fall!

Beecher

Not saying labs will not do ok on Grouse, but the smaller cover dogs do better in the heavy cover, like the small setters!

Beecher

you are cleanin all the birds and cleanin the dog pens and

Beecher

LLewellin or Flannigan Setter blood is a good start, were the original owners not hunters? You may have a nice dog on your hands!

Beecher

Nice pics, looks like fun!

Savage 440 O/U in 12 gauge, circa 1968, found this past summer in local gun shop for $325. love it.

Beecher

The online rules for Kansas state that anyone born after 1957 must have passed certified hunter course to buy a license to hunt, I am from Indiana and I do not need this as I was born before the Indiana cutoff date of 1986. I will need a non-resident license for pheasant hunting Kansas. Is there no ...

Beecher

Great pics! Any way u could point me in a good area to hunt grouse? I am from Indiana and would love to get my Setter and me up there for the first time!

Beecher

Thank you, do u buy the whole scotts kits or just the grates and fab your own kennel?

Beecher

I am looking at the Scotts above ground kennel grates, they are galvanized steel, made to let the waste pass thru to the ground. My question is how does it affect the dogs paws/feet, as the steel has to be super cold in the winter? Anyone with experience using metal grate kennel floors?

Beecher

I have a 3 year old English Setter that has never had fleas, he is kenneld outside, never treated for fleas, I have gave him maybe 3 yard baths with flea shampoo, is it the color of his coat that keeps them off or am I lucky? I was prepared to battle them when I got a Setter due to the long hair!

Beecher

Last trip to Iowa was over 20 years ago, the Sigourny area! I must have bad info as I have been reading of Iowas walk in areas, am I wrong?

Beecher

Get yourself a pointer! :lol: 8) Sorry I couldnt resist, I am suprised it took this long for someone to say! :roll: It's better to spend a few minutes picking out burrs than spending a half a day looking for your dog! :lol: I agree, Setters work for the hunter, not the other way around! :D

Beecher

Did u stay in Rooster city? Is there a lot of public walk in areas nearby? I would love to plan for next year!

What part of Kansas are they going to, have they been there before, any reports? I may be going for the 1st time so I was wondering!

Beecher

Any hunters experienced and know where and if campsites are available in SW Kansas or Iowa for pheasant hunting trips. I imagine it is cold so a camper would help, any location tips or survival/comfort tips! Would mostly be hunting WIA in Iowa and SW of Dodge city in Kansas!

Beecher

I use "whoa" as a confirmation he is doing the right thing after he locks point! It says "good job" and "u better not move" at the same time!

Beecher

Anyone know an easy way to remove burrs from the long hair of Setter?

Beecher

good trip, I have permission on 10,000 acres in southwest Kansas but have never been yet, I will be saving $ to go next fall!

Beecher

Hello from Indiana, I have a Grouse Ridge Setter and love to bird hunt, glad to be a member and love reading all the post!
