Way to go!
Congratulations all.

Ezzy, I hope you are doing well and getting back to your usual self.

You add a great deal to this forum and any day without you on here just isn't the same.

Thanks,
Timmy Suggs

I have an English Pointer that also did not like to point pigeons at all when he was young but was crazy for quail. Your dog sounds very similar to mine when he was younger. I would try what Maurice mentions above first as it will be quicker and easier to try than my method but I will also tell you ...

Ron, your dogs are really sharp. Congratulations on your wins!


Thanks,
Timmy Suggs

Jim, I must warn you, the addiction only gets worse!

Congratulations, I believe you will find most of the people and judges exceptional.

Timmy Suggs

Rob, way to go! That is great news!

Timmy Suggs

Wow, he's a great looking dog.

Andy, dang that Dez is one nice looking GSP. The picture of him pointing up close, staunch and cutting his eyes to the side is awesome.

With the quail preserve season coming to an end in the next couple of days, I loaded up my dogs this afternoon and took them to my favorite preserve to guide at. The birds there are released (not planted) and are very strong fliers. My pup, Snip's Queen Bee really wanted to go so I took her along mo...

Congratulations Jon and Bruce. This is for sure one exceptional GSP!

All, let's make this post a little more interesting. Let's see who can guess Chance's bloodline(s). This should be interesting. I'll give it a day or so and then I'll come back with the answer. Me personally, I find myself studying pedigrees, bloodlines and their specific characteristics on a regula...

Cajun, thanks for the post. My normal training grounds are on a different part of the farm. They consist of fields of grass (beoom straw mostly) and wooded areas with undergrowth. The wild turkeys were coming up into the training grounds (they are starting to court) this past Saturday so I went on t...

In talking about Top Gun, my avatar is a Top Gun Female. She was as natural as they come. We just recently finished her MH title and I had several judges come back to me and compliment her ability.
Thanks
Timmy Suggs

All, I originally planned on videoing my 2 year old EP, Chance, and placing it in the For Sale section. However, I had such difficulty with trying to video by myself until I decided to only place for all to see. The quality of the video is worse than any I have seen. I couldn't make it in Hollywood ...

Brenda, that is great news. I look forward to running in some trials myself next season. Maybe one day, a couple of seasons down the road, Bee can compete against her mom .

Thanks
Timmy Suggs

Ruth, your pup is beautiful. She already looks like a great bird dog in the making!

Brenda, thanks.
It is exciting to me with it being the first title ever earned.
I look forward to venturing into the walking field trials also.
Thanks
Timmy Syggs

Wow! Now that is sonething to be proud of.

Congratulations

Everyone, thanks for all of the replys to my post. My good fortune lasted through this past weekend. Diamond earned her 6th MH leg and earned her MH title on Saturday morning. In my opinion, she ran her most impressive brace yet. She was slinging dirt with every turn but obeyed the rules and my whis...

Everyone, thanks for all the great advice. I greatly appreciate everyone's input.


Thanks Again,
Timmy Suggs

Hello all, just last night I sent a PM to a good friend on here on range but it later hit me that this forum training section is the perfect place to ask this.

How do you field trailers encourage young ~ 8 month old started pups to run harder and range out more?

Thanks
Timmy Suggs

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I appreciate everyone's kind responses.

I am "partial" to her. I look forward to spending time with her every day.

I greatly appreciate Brenda Roe allowing me to purchase this pup.

I took my Bee puppy (Dolly x Maverick) on a walk at daylight this morning. I planted a few pigeons throughout to make it a little more interesting. I believe she is developing nicely.





I have high hopes for this little girl .

Brenda, I took Bee on a "hunting trip" early this morning with launchers with pigeons planted throughout an nice big area. She was all business. I will let her go along ~ once per week and join an older brace of dogs when I run them from the atv. She will run as hard as she can for as long as you wi...

Thanks everyone! Vonzeppelin, believe me, I thought hard on the lottery ticket after gaining the 5th MH leg Saturday morning. However, after my next female was turned down around 1 hour later due to taking 1 step forward on a bird I had to kick up from under her chest, I changed my mind on buying th...

I'm not going to call this a brag but just a really good weekend. I started out winning the big prize (a whopping $15 gift card to Wendy's) at a "game night" we have at church ever so often. Then, I got a call Friday night from Tom Tracy saying my young Brittany female made runner up in the Prarie S...

I can very well see your point. After all, there has to be talent for the trainers to bring out.

I am also curious to hear everyone's opinion and experiences with the two different lines. I currently have an 18 month old male that that is 75% Elhew and the other 25% is mostly Miller. This dog seems intellegent, has an excellent attitude, loves to retrieve (land or water), and shows a good nose ...

All, just thought I would post this short video of Chance retrieving.
Who ever said Pointers didn't like to retrieve ?
This pup will retrieve a softball back to you until your arm is tired.

I thought I would comment on my experience with TopGun also. Everything you read here is true about TopGun. I have a female, Diamond, that will be one year old in May. She was from their Ace X Ally litter. When I called Steve to tell him how she was doing, he could have told me! He definately knows ...
