Gun Dog Forum

I am looking at importing a DD to use for mostly upland hunting and some waterfowl hunting too. All the breeders have great websites so its impossible to pick from there. Can anyone please recommend breeders who breed birdhunting lines.
Thank you
Frans

Well said Nick, in which part of the country was the trial run. Congrats to the winning dog.

Thank you all, Christopher I hope this description helps. The gun is an o/u with 26 inch barrels. Both barrels have 18.1 an d 18.4 stamped on them, on one barrel it also says 1200 kgs and GMOS. The top barrel has 1 star and the bottom barrel 4 stars stamped on. It just says Laurona Eibar on the bott...

Does

anybody know these Spanish shotguns? I can get either in O/U for a good price but cant find much info on them.

Is it possible to view this article somewhere on the internet?

How did those dogs speed and range compair to the DD's.I know i,m putting you guys on the spot here but from what i've heard and read it seems i might have the opportunity to get a nice dog here.

Does anyone have experience/know anything about this breed
I met a German gentleman who owns 2 and he can't stop talking about what wonderfull hunters they are.

I'll have his ears checked but i doubt whether thats the problem. I think i know where the problem started, as a small pup he lived with my fiance now wife in town. They were playing in the garden and a car backfired three times right in front of them, he ran for cover. It's a normal toy gun, he tol...

Hallo Bhulisa,yes i got him from Odette. Unfortunately i,m almost on the other side of the country,Heidelberg Gauteng, but i will love to hear what you think. I will send you an e-mail tomorrow. Frans

You,re right AzDoggin, dont even enter those Guinea Field Trial. I've got that one won :lol: Itried posting his pedigree but seems you need a US adress to post there. Hope this helps, his sire is out of Maxwell's White Spirit and Spirithill's Mystic Magic. The dam is an South African breeding i thin...

Thank you all for replying.I'll post his pedigree tomorrow(it's in the baby's room and my wife will kill me if i wake him up now :D ) The dam has placed in quite a few pointer trials and the sire was recently featured in a local national hunting magazine, apparantly a hunting machine. When we go out...

My 2 year old Britt hunts hard and is reasonably steady on point. He is however not happy hearing a gunshot(used a capgun twice and then stopped)other loud noices or seeing a gun doesnt bother him at all.I tried George Hickox, Maurice Lindley and Gonehuntin's methods using pigeons as a distraction a...

Wow, I was just on Lion Country's website and what a great range of books/dvd's. Now i'm even more confused. Help please.

First off thanks very much, Kninebirddog,RayGubernat and Don. I tried you're advice and he is running great now. I'm looking to buy some training books/dvd's to help me train my Britt and Drahthaar. Thinking of maybe the Huntsmith dvd's and Smartfetch. I would appreciate any suggestions. I tried Gun...

Thanks for all the great advice, its fortunately raining the last couple of days , as soon as it clears up i'll definitely give it a go

Thank you very much for replying. He dropped the dog of on the farm and told my wife that it was ready, I was in Botswana so I only spoke to him on the phone. I understand that he bought the collar only to train my dog so I dont know if he really knew what he was doing. We live in South Africa and t...

About 3 months ago I sent my one and a half year old Brittany to a trainer, because of work problems I was away from home a lot and could'nt train him myself.I suspect that he over used/ wrongly used his e collar because now the pup will not leave my side. Only when he makes sent he will range a bit...

We hunt pheasant, partridge,duck and geese. I also bowhunt so i use my dogs on bloodspoor as well. ( I'have trouble posting a picture of my DD-Milo-how exactly do i do it)He was a present from a spanish gentleman who hunted with me so i dont have any pedigree on him but WHAT A DOG

DD's in South Africa are very hard to come by(only 2 breeders in Africa that i know of) and i,m looking to get some new bloodlines over here. I noticed a couple of DD owners on here so i hope you will be able to suggest good breeders that i can contact. Thank you

A hunting buddy of mine owns a male GSP-3 years old. Problem is he shows no desire to back, in fact he completely ignores the pointing dog and just goes on hunting. Any ideas on how we can try and sort this out?

Thank you that helps a lot. Now for all the Sportdog fans- which one to buy. Can i get ,interchangeble charger for the Dogtra as well,i can get a good deal on a 2002

Sorry guys,this is going to be a long one but i'm completely lost.Iwant to buy a 2 dog trainer/beeper system.The TT sounds great but is completely out of my price range so if my research was done properly its either DT Systems, Dogtra or Sportdog. The collars will be used for training early on and h...

Hallo everybody

Can somebody please put me in contact with training collar suppliers who ship overseas, it seems all the guys i contact only ship inside the US. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, THIS SITE AND IT'S PEOPLE ARE TRULY GREAT

Thanks for your help.Would it be possible to fit a beeper to the Classic 70, i like the idea of the longer range

Sorry it was late last night. i meant $1 - R8,otherwise it would've been a nice problem to have

Hallo everyone, i'm in South Africa and need to get a collar from the US because the imported ones are extremely expensive here. I would like one with quite a long range 1/2 mile and upwards,also possibly one for 2 dogs if i can afford it.(exchang rate almost 8$ - 1rand and then theres shipping as w...

Hallo everbody! Firstly a bit about myself, my name is Frans and I live in South Africa and own a lovely 14 month old Brittany. Now for my problem whenever I take him for a walk in the field he takes of, to return 1,2,3 hours later, around the house he comes when called and is overall pretty obedien...
