My GSP's are Heineken's Dutch Treat call name Heine, and 1xCH FC Smithwick's Hard Licker call name Smitty. My daughter bought a little dust mop dog down in Key West and called him Key'ster few years ago. We have a little saying around here now, " If you dont want to pat my Heine, you can kiss her Ke...

A buddy of mine was invited to a deer camp a few years ago and invited me along. The fellas said while deer hunting they would see what they thought were grouse, but they had never hunted them. We brought the dogs down and spent the better part of the day tramping the hills in what looked like promi...

We had a call from our local dog warden about a found shorthair here in Geauga co., ohio. I bailed it out and the girl running the rescue program for GSPC of Ohio took it off my hands. She discovered an unusal tat in the dogs ear, again not a number she was familiar with. After a few weeks a friend ...

What a lonely post!
Hope someone has started to plan for the start of the fall season, I know I hate to wish away time, but I love the fall trial season.
Thanks for putting it out there, Cheryl!

I've know Danny at Monkeyshine kennels for a number of years and have seen him develop a lot of great dogs. My dog went with him to ND two summers ago and I was more than pleased with his work. He handled Fred Ryans Chicoree's what a hoodlum (Hoodie) to Shooting Dog of the Year, 2013. Good luck in y...

Is anybody able to report results of the Cfgsp walking trial this weekend? I have a buddy running in the Amt stakes.

To all who called him, in response to my post on John, he wanted me to thank all who responded for extending their best wishes for his speedy recovery! In a call this evening he wanted me to tell everyone," HE WILL BE BACK!" LOL His first order of business though is to get healthy and strong enough ...

For those who know Ohio trialer John Golub, he was involved in an unfortunate accident a few weeks ago. Did some damage to his legs. Well, he called me this evening to tell me to forward a message to you all that " he may be down, but he's not out"! Great attitude John, hope you get well soon! Smitt...

I'm curious how points are earned, as I noticed one dog had only one placement in the All Age stakes( Hoosier Rev It Up Jr) and was placed higher than dogs with more wins and dogs defeated. I don't mean to pick on this particular dog but am using it as an example since there are dogs with more stake...

Brian Smith

How are the entries coming? If you need some help I'll be around to plant birds if needed.

Dogs found their first woodie of the season this evening. We're in Geauga Co. in the NE corner of Ohio. Now that we know they're here we'll try to get some pics soon.

Congrats again Ted! The display looks great, I'm sure whenever you look at it, it brings a special feeling to your heart.

Hank Lewis' Kane is a great example of a dog that can run the AA race and also handle the SD stakes. He and Chris Goegan have handled him to RU and Championship wins over a long stretch of time and proved he is a great example of a dog that can handle both stakes. I was at a Club event one year and ...

Brian Smith

I can't believe how some threads get twisted around from the original question. Anyway, you all realize that the points in puppy/derby stakes come from WINS, not just placements! You don't have the dogs whole lifetime to aquire the win, just a short window of opportunity. The judgements are based on...

We had a incident in my area not quite a year ago that made national news. A 17 yr. old who was in the custody of grandparents, because his parents were both losers. Now the point I look at is the grandparents failed with their own kids and were give the opportunity to raise the grandson. Again they...

Thanks for posting the pics Joe. Congrats to you for getting the chance for an Invite!

I'll second the motion on Danny Dimambro at Monkeyshine kennels. He is a soft handed trainer with a great background with shorthairs, the kennel goes back to the early days started by Dan's grandfather, Mario.
Check him out.

We took our dogs to N. wisconsin this fall. I just got the 320 and a dc40 collar and my buddies have 220's. My young shorthair gets going way too big to be useful as a grouse dog but did show us that the two garmin units are comparable in tracking in heavy cover as they all showed him at 800 yard ou...

Sorry to hear that Ted. All good athletes get hurt from time to time and given time to heal, their past performances are never in question. They may never get that World Series or Superbowl ring or AKC title, but you know they performed to the highest level when they played!

We'll be running Smitty, good Lord willing. He's recovered nicely from abcess he suffered out west. Ran him on grouse all last week in Wisconsin and will train a bit before we head to Maryland. He needs a little bit of weight and some rest right now, but he'll come to run.
