Red setters and AKc setters were the same thing from aprox 1950-1976, when the AKC parent club pulled reciprocity on registration, so I would bet you that 99% of the "FIELD BRED" AKC dogs go back to Red setter stock. As I recall some dogs whelped in 1976 and not registered till after reciprosity wa...

Irish Setters are, and have always been my breed of choice. Though I have spent all my years showing them, I am really just starting in the field world. As with most sporting breeds, the Irish Setter is a happy go lucky dog who aims to please. The majority of people on here are correct, it is more d...

I think we should just call this Setter style, starting to consider bleaching my dog!

I've watched the horse aucions on and off for some time now, primarily enumclaw. Exracers, race training wash outs, critically injured race horses, and nonproductive broodmares tend to be a rather significant portion of the market. While that might not be the case for all horse auctions, those combi...

Kwik, Let's say you was runnin' a dog and I was judging. Things are going fine, but I can tell you don't have your dog...and I see the dog is making a backcast or is going sideways. Would you like me to point the dog out? Or let the dog keep going back/sideways? Or let's say you had a back and then...

I want to start this thread out by stating I am a complete novice when it comes to trials at this point. I have run in 3 or 4 now (mix of AKC and AF), and each time, I am getting a better and better understanding of how the game is played, and have begun to make my own opinion about what I like to s...

Don, First off, yes I'm following you (though I've been here about a year). Second, I just moved about 25 miles down the road. I have successfully started flying all 6 birds I was flying at my old place. I let them setter 2-3 weeks, then started them with all the ybs I received from Scott. We will b...

I like those perches, can you tell me where you found them?

KwikIrish

Ted, the blank gun is doing pretty darn great. Thanks for the deal. I'll pm you some pics from the trial this weekend. Show dogs are looking good out there.

KwikIrish

In the front you can see one of my setters in a field cut, and the back is one of my setters in almost full coat. I spend typically 45mins to an hour and half on her after most trips out. For the average owner, there is no reason not to keep them short.

I posted with this issue almost a year ago and got no assistance. Best I can come up with is start a new one and make sure ou have all the info you need so you won't have to edit. Flaw in the system.

Congrats on a good breed choice for the jrs ring, Ruth. Though I think breeds who tend to grow a bit more coat can be showy, as a beginner, grooming a brit for the ring will be much less daunting. Some great conformation handlers showed brits in the Jr ring :) good luck to your daughter and the upco...

Re: AKC pointers- many years ago I helped a friend with her AKC pointers to get them in the field and see what they could do.

Let me say to the serious folks out there that are pursuing dual dogs for the right reasons....when you walk your dog on the trial grounds or at a training day, we all notice.

There is this product that is infamous in the golden world, and several others, I am sure. I think it is called 1-2. You use it, along with some vaseline and some basic powder to dry. It comes off in a matter of a day or three. It's illegal, but it happens. Also, a company called 3-c's sells a simil...

Hey Jen,
I have to laugh because I had to go back and ensure I did. None the less, I was logged in, had the view of my two pedigrees, and when clicked on the link, was routed to the next page which gave me that error.
Thanks for the thought,
Kelli

KwikIrish

Hate to revive old posts, but I was wondering if anyone has an issue with editing their pedigrees. I click on the name (not the #) as instructed to edit and it gives me this error:
"Ups, you don't have access to this pedigree!"
I emailed admin and have had no response. Anyone?
Thanks!

I read his books and attended one of his clinics in Denver when I was young (er) and it was quite fascinating. Though that clinic was about the starting phases, it would interest me to see *how people could and would apply it to dogs... do you have a link to the article?

Point well noted, I will write that plan down in my book.
Thanks!
