I have thought about going to the .27 % solution just to make it easier to measure. I live in a heartworm RICH area....they will get heartworm if they're not medicated.

Eggs are a great source of protein but feeding them raw there is the chance of giving your dogs salmonella.

Great looking pup. Gets me real excited because my Stoney River litter is due any day out of my avatar female.

I think she won 20 championships and 4 RU Ch. I believe that braxton is over 10 now. There are 2 litters by Kate that aren't even to broke dog stakes. Those numbers are sure to go up! No doubt they will!! I heard alot of rumors a year or two ago about her being bred to Braxton. Do you know if that ...

Its super easy. Just have your FFL dealer fax the shipper a copy of their actual FFL. Then pay the transfer fee when you pick up the gun. Luckily for me CDNN is located in town so no shipping....just a $20 transfer fee. You will also have to pay for shipping, and some dealers will charge you a fee ...

I know with cattle you can register them as breed if the breed your registering them as is the dominate one, but I'm pretty sure you can't with dogs. With cattle they have low and high percentage registration with some breeds such as Chianina or Maine Anjou. And of corse the so called Certified Ang...

I think your time, and degree have alot to do with it. My cousin has a bachelors and I think she started in the low 20,000s four of five years ago. I know another lady who has a masters and 10 years experience, she is over $60,000.

Im not trying to be a philosipher here but I think a dogs tail is compareable to our smile. If a dog is happy then his tail is up wagging, or between his legs you know he is scared or nervous. Is this what you mean?? I just got a new pup yesterday (8 months old), I actually whelped his daddy and sti...

Its all about opportunities for the animal. My dog won the Arkansas, Michigan championships. A RU Ch in Montana and a classic in Georgia. That ddog would have never had those chances in my hands. As far as price. Wrong. You are looking at it wrong. If you were to go to all the trials the pro did, i...

Birddog3412

I look at pros a little different than I do amateurs. They get paid to WIN trials, not shoot wild birds. Though most pros train on wild birds all the time, I can understand why one would not be an avid hunter. It does not pay the bills. I understand that but since field trials were developed by hun...

I have found in my 25 years of quail/pheasant hunting that the dogs I hunt behind (everything from pointers, brittneys, labs, chessies, wirehairs, etc) find more birds than I can shoot!!!

It’s easy to kill birds went there are 50 in a 40 acre field, but how about 1 covey in 500 acres. I do pheasant hunt occasionally but they are far and away my least favorite upland game to hunt, and if I was limited by my resources to only hunting pheasants I guess I would...but I would probably tu...

Birddogz, You really know how to stir these FT boys up, don't care how much you hurt their feeling either, but I got to tell ya the competition at Ames has nothing to due with actual hunting, although I agree IMO a dog who wins any kind of competition should also find the most birds.

Any info on this morning? What happened to White's Solid Reward?

Birddog3412

I think whats he's trying to point out is that the field trials are out of touch with real world hunting and with all I've read about them over the past month maybe there needs to be a change. I don't understand how a dog running around a warp speed, running by 95% of the birds is any better than t...

They said that in alot of cases when a dog has an unproductive there were birds there they just moved. I also think depending on the weather the birds dont flush. I remember 3 years...

It does the same when I try to go there. Theyve been doing alot of work to the sight over the last couple weeks, maybe that has something to do with it.

Thanks 3britts and Cherrystone. You are the first two people I have ever heard it happening to first hand. IMO I like dew claws removed, not only to prevent a possible injury, but mainly I think that dogs without them look better.

Birddog3412

The dew claw removal thread got me thinking. Seems like everyone has heard of a dog that had its dew claw wripped off while hunting. Is this just a phantom problem or does it really happen? Who on this forum, if anyone, has had a dog get a dew claw ripped off or had other problems because they were ...

Not sure I understand you question. He is a little vague and doesnt go though the complete process. He may not show everything but he does talk about making the dog pick it up; then throwing the dummy 2 feet, then 3 feet, then 5 feet and so on.

They will leave plenty of sent. The problem you may have is the pup catching them if they are not good flyers.
