I guess if I were REALLY serious I could go ahead and register them, problem is I could not think up all those names. I have a hard enough time naming the ones I keep.

snips

When we sell a pup we would ask that they use our Prefix in the name. Some did not. We found out later.

snips

Tak, I am not sure where I lost you.

snips

We used to ask people to use our Prefix on names of dogs we bred. Had a couple that did not an Championed. Then we started writing it in on papers. In my book, anyone that does this knowingly WILL NEVER get another dog here. I know of a big breeder up north that the lady had bred to my male, wrote h...

Hard to say, not knowing the dogs or trainers. If a dog is smelling a bird and working in on it, or is a dog honestly pointing when he is hitting scent. I know I can work 10 dogs in a row, and see most dogs hit a point in the same general area. Then see a dog point 2 to 3 times further out, consista...

Thats Ricks stomping grounds. He does not like to write much, but if you want details give him a call.

I have the old Inno 200 2 dog collar. I love it. The only problem I have with them is they are not strong enough for the toughest of dogs, but they are in the 2% range. For them I have a TT Upland collar. For the most part I will stick with what I got. I know Inno is coming out with improvements fro...

Thats great Tania, a DC, MH!!!! Wow, I feel privileged. He IS a nice dog. Hopefully I will have a couple to run in the spring.

snips

Hi Tania, remember me? We ran about a 100 braces together last yr. Congrats on your Trial, you have a REALLY nice dog and I was always relieved when I knew I had you as a bracemate.

snips

Man, thats alot to keep up with! 6 breeds!

snips

When Innotek went digitol is when we (as dealers) dropped them, along with Rick Smith! I still use the old 200 unit and I might add it can be bought at Lion Country on closeout for 199. 2-dog for 299. I like that unit, as the levels are at my fingertips. I also like the camera battery, it runs down ...

snips

Hopefully someone will call. Did you leave any clothing where they were released? Sometimes they will come back and lay on the clothing. Exactly what is that area near?

snips

My dog Sally (on Grants T-shirt), pointed one while we were hunting in N.Da. in Sept. I pulled her away when I saw what it was, her point did not look like a bird point, as the hair was standing on her back. I looked in the bush and could not believe how big it was (the Porky) I tried to tell a coup...

snips

Sounds good. Running the upper levels on Sat is always easier because you usually don`t have the covey situation. I may try the spring test with a couple of dogs. We were at Centertown for a 3-day Thanksgiving trial. Tough Region to compete in, I took a 1st with Logan and Rick took a 3rd with Fritz....

snips

I have been out of town an did not see this thread. I always train yung birds a few days before just letting thm out. I take each bird and hold them in the opening a minute (while they memorize it) then put them slowely thru the bars. After a few days I release a couple at a time in late afternoon. ...

snips

There is a real plus to getting Brittneys, if they don't make bird dog you can always make them into slippers!

snips

Whats with the ring around the neck?

snips

That was great!

snips

I`m sure `ol 12 volt will bounce back, everybody has to take some knocks starting out. Take it from me 12 V, my first trials I had my share, but second season we made a comeback and that girl was just put in the Hall of Fame, so keep it comin! Sorry to hear of Mikes bad luck, glad to hear they will ...

snips

Beautiful buck!

snips

Thats great Tak. There is nothing like the first placement on a young dog. I shot Sal out of a 1st her first trial. Rick has quit running females because when running Gambles Low Country Miss, (Fritz`s mom) she would knock him out of Regionals and Nat`l trials because of heat. Sal is the first I hav...

snips

My sweet "Sally" took her first placement in a NSTRA trial today. She is a ball to run! (the gsp on Grants t-shirt.)

snips

An hour is a long time for young dogs. I used to take mine to class and when I thought they were getting bored I`d leave. If they are gone over 2-3 times, move several times thats good for me, and pup.

snips

As long as I have pups on great flying birds I free run them letting the birds teach them. If I see their natural abilities starting to digress I pull them off pen birds til they are of training age. I have Kages bro taking young training dogs for walks to find the birds for them to get them started...

snips

A Dual Champion in the works!

snips

Go girl! My guy still turns to jelly when I try to place him. He says he`d rather be hunting. Had to get Rick to hold him tonite to cut the big wuss`s tonails. Hard to get any holding done when they are giving kisses! Ughhh. Hope it`s going good.

snips

I shoot a 20 guage Benelli Legacy.

snips

Good pedigree. I am not much of a Koonas fan, but I really like the dam side. Probably was a good cross.

snips

I have seen this dogs name, but do not know the lines behind it. Best bet is ask the breeder if he has a pedigree and reasons for breeding to the line. A good breeder should have this info. And what about the female? just as important.

snips

We have a couple of breedings planned for then. Already taking deposits. I know I`m breeding Sally to Rick's Fritz. Listed o our website under Our Kennel. Also Dixie to ? We plan our litters for spring-summer because of the busy winter schedule, just much better or pups for mom & dad to be around. (...

snips

Greg, if you are in a backing situation that you need to hold your dog, I always have a dead bird in my bag to throw, or after pointing dog retrieves it have the handler pitch it to you or for your dog. Glad you are making it to Darbys, they have alot of NSTRA people and they make for good judges an...

snips

Steve, sorry, we got a little side tracked with some old bloodlines. Looking fr a versatile pup, I would recommend a breeding I posted abut earlier. I believe there may be a male or 2 still available. They are in Va., but no problem shipping. I think she`s shipping one to Az next week. The bitch is ...

Primo is a product ofthe Hall of Fame breeding between Beires Ev and FC Aces Prima Banane. Rick had a littermate to Primo that was a NSTRA Ch. (Named Jackson under Important Dogs ). There were at least 15 AKC FC`s produced from that cross (done several times). Johnny Merrill trained and campaigned t...

Thats the same stuff that guy in Dublin Ga makes our doghouses out of. Great stuff.

Ivermec gets all worms but Whips and Tapes. I think Whips are pretty rare anyway. I have been using it alone for 20 yrs. Swear by it.

snips

BIG. Rick calls him "Chug" I call him Bomber. He`s a big sweetie, totally serious about his birds and swimming too. I adore his personality tho. The first time I ran him with the adults, after Gamble went to Africa, he was running up the path and his Mom cme ripping up behind him, he looked back and...

For FF I prefer the molded dumbell make out of hard plastic. It`s easy pick up and fits their mouth well.

Hey Sudie! Miss you around here! Yes, I TOTALLY freaked out. It was`nt 5 min after finding a dog eating one, I was in here on the phone. Tell Eric, and dog with a nose will find them, they definatly have a odor to attract an animal. Unfortunatly the vet came by here about 2 mo ago and vaccinated all...

snips

I`m not sure yet of exact dates, I know its ususlly around the 3rd weekend in Feb. I`ll be the one sitting there selling the birddog shirts at the clubhouse when you drive in.

snips

We`ll be at the Quail Inv in Feb., I was referring to pen birds unfortunatly. Come on out while we`re there!

snips

Thats true, but I train for them to stand thru the blank, or shot, even for Sr`s. You will have to stand to shot with no gunners on the back course. If your dog has a find there and stands, it is only good practice for the actual kill later in the bird field. If you allow them to chase down live bir...

snips

Well Greg, if you see a bird get up and your dog makes a grab at it, and you look back at the judges and they are walking along talking and they don`t say anything, act like nothing happened! Like I said before, keeping your dog somewhat close is always benificial, you can get away with commands in ...

snips

I`ll be down in Feb. but will be shooting those corn-fed birds.

snips

Now that I know about them I`llkeep a closer eye on them. I`m sure Logan, my current trial dog sucked one down before I could do anything, the only dog that can grab something and eat on the run. The other dog had to stop and chew, thats when I grabbed it. Yes, we have alot of Rabies, and coyotes, b...

I was running some dogs today and noticed one dog eating something, did not pay much attention. Later I was out with another and that dog stopped and was munching too. I hollered and made them drop it. I looked at it and it was a square of something that smelled good, inside was a parafin coated pac...

snips

Greg you can Whoa him in Sr`s as he sees the dog. You just hav to keep up with him or try to keep him in. It`s amazng you much Gunner looks like the Fritz male I have, Chance. Yours is whiter tho.

There is no substitute for being in shape, that said, all we ever do is pop them the 1/2 Performance Bar before a run and 1/2 after. That is mostly in the warmer temps, which we have alot of. Growing up will help the stamina on your dog the most Grant. If you are working for a fast moving 100% perfo...

Aaron, it is just Pride. We feed the green bag, 26-18. They have a black bag thats 24-20 also. We have fed it for several years and love the way our dogs do on it, and training dogs many times leave looking better than they came. Dogs can come and go without that uckky change in stool. I have seen d...
