Did I mention I am left handed? Although I have shot a right handed automatic for years - given the ability to have a left handed gun is a better option

Wa Chukar Hunter

Well, after lots of years not duck hunting or training retrievers - I finally broke down and got a new puppy - over the years multiple moves I have lost equipment and I am in the process of buying new equipment I have a few shot guns - but they are not non-toxic capable (Model 1912, Grulla 216, and ...

Cept - that FDSB Pointers are allowed to cross register to the AKC - unlike FDSB Irish Setters

I think that if someone has a MH and wants to run in the NFC - go for it. I think that a MH title is grossly underrated and they should be allowed.

Here is a few of the dogs we are working this year on the prairie.

I kinda liked this dogs style before I crossed over to the Dark Side of the Force http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/3859dancer3.jpg This is the kind of style I like since crossing to the Dark Side of the Force - and running llewellins. http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/Yett_Ranch_18_Dec_2010_085_RS1.jpg...

I believe there is a little setter close up in that strut breeding....Droppers are not uncommon in the South, at least not when I was a kid. I suspect one showed up with some Skills and was repapered by a trialer. I believe Ross Callaway showed a picture of a pup double bred from that line that was...

Llewellin - Probably a Royacelle/Blizzard cross

Wa Chukar Hunter

Boy, I like reading posts like this - means I am way undercharging - guess I will raise my rates.

Summer training is here. We will be leaving for South Dakota in 2 wks. We have a few more dogs we can take with us. Our grounds are located on the Standing Rock Reservation north of Timber Lake, SD. We have access to thousands of acres to train gun dogs or field trial dogs. The grounds are a mixture...

I just heard that Mac finished his Field championship. Mac is the second llewellin setter that I am aware of to do this. Mac is also a walking shooting dog champion. Congratulations to Randy Herman and Julie Orr and of course Mac

Wa Chukar Hunter

Like the color - maybe in the future I will get one of those - pointer with enough setter in it to make me happy.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Good Luck with your trials and hope you continue to succeed

Wa Chukar Hunter

Congratulations

Congratulations

Was this the same trial/stake that Mike Eades and Drifter got 1st?

Keith - Native Washingtonian from Sunnyside transplanted in Central Texas

So, they are just like horses, just more expensive.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Thats great,

Has anyone had experience with gaited mules for field trialling? Pros and Cons appreciated.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Thanks - It really shows Mags is an excellent dog. Running that well for Ben, after only working her for about a week, prior to running her in this trial. It also shows Ben is a good hand with setters.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Streeks Lil Maggie (llewellin setter) owned by Donna Gibbons Markey, handled by Ben Garcia placed 2nd in the English Setter Association of America Derby Classic held in Colorado. Mags has been on a win streak. This makes the 10th consecutive win/placement since August. She has only failed to place i...

Congratulations -

Well, according to Jerry Lewis (pro handler of all age setters) who was the judge, who was right there to witness what happened - I stayed with him pretty good through him rearing twice, and that my reins were not tight, and it didn't appear that I pulled him over. He felt on the 3rd time up Bob los...

Wa Chukar Hunter

Well, if those rodeo vests are like the vest I wore in uniform then it wouldn't be a bad deal. You'll need to shower every day but other than that - they are not terribly uncomfortable - and it beats the alternative.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Each trainer /handler is different but I would think the best place to start would be to contact Shawn - his number is in the American Field if you want to breed to this dog.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Doug - How convenient is that air bag thingy when you are handling and have lots of finds? Pretty easy to do? Did not get my head banged up - thank God - most people think I am loopy enough as it is

Wa Chukar Hunter

Hey Keith, It sounds like you and I are both on the injured/disabled list right now. I also had a horse rear up and come over 2.5 mos. ago while I was judging a hunt test. I'm still recovering from the accident. Thank god she didn't land on me. I felt her go past that point of no return when she re...

Wa Chukar Hunter

Most amateurs don't have Derrig's money. I bet he goes through a few dogs to get the ones he can win with.

Wa Chukar Hunter

At a trial a week or so back my horse reared and came over landing on top of me and fracturing my pelvis. Sucks, never realized how much I miss the dogs and stuff until I got laid up with this. And it wrecked my favorite saddle that may not be repairable. Really sucks Keith - Posting from Under the ...

I use Ramset yellow crimps - cracks like a 38 in my LCS blank gun. Never been told it wasn't loud enough, I use it mostly for training and when in championships it is my back up in case I run out of ammo or my 32 fails to function.

Wa Chukar Hunter

I go through blank pistols at a rate of about two per year (they either break or get lost) I bought a couple of the premier pistols from LC Supply - so far they are fine.

Wa Chukar Hunter

No, not that I can remember.

Wa Chukar Hunter

He sure resembles alot of our dogs. Wow, interesting.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Based on your requirements/wants. I think your first choice of a lab is the correct one. Lab will do all of those things pretty well.

Since it is hotter than the hubs of Hades here in central Texas. I am ernestly looking forward to my trip to SD. Up there I will be watching big running red dogs from the back of a smooth, gaited horse. This one is my buddy and my favorite prospect. He is still a derby but well on this way to being ...

Wa Chukar Hunter

Depends on what grouse you are talking about - this guy was pointing the heck out of sharptail as a seven month old last year - We are looking forward to running him in trials this year.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Thanks Dan;

I like quite a few of the irish setters down here in Texas, owned by Georgia. I also like some of the young dogs owned by Jim Baker and Bill Rhodes. Was just looking to expand my horizons just a bit.

I actually worked a female last summer in my puppy program at SD. I believe she was Rockys Straight Arrow X Speedi Edie O'Floin and I don't believe I have ever seen a young red setter that was better, and I am not sure I have seen a dog of any breed with more potential. My dogs here are: Cullen is a...

Just wondering what you all thought about different kennels and the dogs they produce. Background - I have a AKC registered irish setter female that is in heat (she always comes in June) and last year I bred her to one of my males and the pups were very good - my male died last year. I have two male...

What about Sherry Ebert or Bill Holtan they live in ND? Others that go to ND include: Shawn Kinklaar, Jason Williams, JC Turner, Ben Garcia, Dean Lord, Ike Todd, Allen Vincent, Larry Huffman, and others. Some of those are right down in your neck of the woods too - would be easier to get a dog to the...

Yup, a couple of years ago, LB kinda lit the place up, Doug's little boy was real good as well. I think LB won both of the stakes, OSD and AA Jerry I remember LB from an Inland Empire GSP Trial in fall of 2004? It was at Fishtrap. LB won the Open AA, Doug's dog Stitch was 2nd ( I think that was the...

A couple years ago, my friend/mentor Lou Gleber judged the NGSPA Sharp-Tail said the grounds were great. Also, said something about seeing some nice dogs from the Idaho/Indiana boys - Couldn't have been talking about Doug/Jerry's dogs

Doug - Yes, at the Montana SD, I really liked the course and people last year. So, I am gonna go back this year. We'll be ready - whether we will be ready enough - well, we will have to turn them loose and let em rip. But, I have already started working my dogs - just knowing you were going to be th...

I am just starting to look at this again - I currently have a 99 Chev 3500 (SRW) with a long bed - and I have been kicking around getting a newer F-250 - but diesels are hard to come by - everything I like in my price range has a 5.4L gas engine and just not sure that will pull my big horse trailer ...
