They aren't a problem until they are a problem. Then you have a problem that could have been easily avoided.

Haven't had one yet that wouldn't eat with chicken broth over the kibble. I guess one day I probably will but haven't found one yet.

Most I have spent for a pup is $500 and then 3 months training at $500/month.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

My first Britt as an adult was an only pup. He was an awesome dog. That was about 24 years ago and he is still the best bird dog I have ever owned (close match up between him and my 13 yr old female I have now, she has found more birds in her lifetime but she's been on more good leases than he was d...

Best dog I own and have ever hunted behind is from Ed that is a black/white tri color female American / French mix she is 11 years old now and still getting it done. IMO, black should be accepted.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I have a kennel full of dogs from the Flying O, easy to train and bird finding machines. Ed has been around a long time and has forgotten more about Brittanies than most will ever learn. BTW, Black is only not acceptable in show, who gives a chit? AKC papers have Black as an option in registering.

we use the Alpha 220 with dc-40's mounted on D.T. Systems E-collars. I have the collar remote that I am used to and gps, works great for me.

My answer to this question is and always will be, French Brittany.

Me too.

Thanks!

I wouldn't put anything on it. Nothing will hold up to the washing.

If money isn't an object, I would have a custom Jones Trailer built.

Living in East Tx, if my pigeon coop wasn't snake proof, I would have a snake coop. Plus I live on a lake. neighbors and i have killed 7 snakes this spring so far, and I almost stepped on one last night.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

you may be talking about the Dog Den. The K-9 Kondo is a kit for a barrel nope, it was a K9 condo. Blue plastic barrel that I cut one end off to install the insulation and flap door. cut a hole for the rainproof vent on the opposite end - unless they've drastically altered the design since I once o...

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I once owned one. bought it for a rescue dog that refused to go in it. He also shredded the cheap foil insulation. However, I found the thing to be well thought out and sturdy (other than the insulation thing). This was many years ago so maybe they've upgraded a bit; and it was an adult dog I was d...

CCBIRDDOGMAN

Looking to upgrade all 6 of my dog houses this summer, already have the barrels and thinking about the K-9 Condo kits. If I buy 5 I get the 6th one free. They look like they will hold up well but I have never known anyone to have one to give me a real world review. I'm in East Tx, so it doesn't get ...

I'd say your best bet would be an electric heater of some kind in one of the empty holes and a nice little Honda Generator. And I'm not sure how "little" of a generator you can use that will still run a heater. But spend the extra for the quiet Honda. Plus they last forever.

Johnsons baby shampoo.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I have this one and love it. This year & bought a new ceramic blade and it made it even better. I did all seven of my Brittanies in about 3 hrs (with wifes help). I also recommend the cool spray to keep it cool. (mine didn't even start to get warm till after the third dog) http://www.drsfostersmith....

Love my alpha.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

Nevermind, I forgot they changed it to the screw on cap that covers the vent hole. Used to just be a little plug.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I hauled two of those jugs on the back shelf of my old dog trailer for years. They are pretty durable. Only issue I can think of, is with it being inside the box, if any water splashes out of the little air hole, it will be inside the box and it will splash out of that little air hole. Even if you h...

Diamond Naturals lamb & Rice and Chicken & Rice rates higher than Pro Plan on Dog food advisers website and is cheaper. No brainer for me. I fed Purina one with good results for a few years but Diamond naturals is cheaper than it too.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

Just did all seven of my Brittany's yesterday. I use the 3/8" comb so it's pretty short. I love the way they look right after a cut. Plus it's good to check them over from head to toes a few times a year anyway. For us it's March then June or July and then I will do about a 3/4" cut in September or ...

Theres shirts but no stickers? SMH

CCBIRDDOGMAN

Yeah I'm afraid she and the male wouldn't go up there and feed em. Hopefully they will be ok in the floor.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I have a friend that I sold some pigeons to but hasn't had any luck with them having any babies, well I had a bird that I really like and didn't want to sell but she had been mated up with a male for a while and she had laid several eggs in the floor of my coop but I just kept tossing them because I...

I have 8 Britts. We have been through a few of the cheap shavers and they work but not as good as a quality set. I can't remember what brand we bought but it was $150 from Foster & Smith, now we just get a new blade every year (8.99) and keep going. This thing cuts like crazy, fast and easy. No comp...

I have been using the $20 belly / chest protector from Cabelas for several years (only use it a couple of times a year) and so far it has held up good. Does a great job of protecting the belly.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I have only had one litter and sure enough, I had one of the buyers contact me after the pups were a little over 2 years old and say he had changed jobs and was working 12 hrs a day (at night) and couldn't keep him anymore, I took him back without hesitation. He had only hunted twice in the two plus...

Been using it exclusively for 4 years in all 8 dog houses and all of the travel boxes, Mule box, etc. my dogs can still smell pretty good. Sometimes.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I use cedar shavings. Of course I'm in East Texas so it doesn't get as cold here as some of y'all. I like hay & straw but it is just so much more messy & harder to clean up. I can wash the cedar chips right through the chainlink.

I have a friend about three hours away that I want to send four Pigeons to, has anyone used the 4 bird economy nest shipping box that Foy's sells for $15? It looks like it would be perfect. Also, is there some crazy charge at the Post office for shipping birds? Obviously I would do next day but just...

CCBIRDDOGMAN

My coop is probably about 75 -100 feet from my kennels and is in the path of where my dogs all run every evening. I do have a fence around it to keep them from getting under it but I have had no issues with them being near it.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I must have done pretty good. They tipped me $100.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I'm guiding a group of four tomorrow. My first time to ever guide. It's a put & take hunt at a preserve. I am only going for the dog training (headed to our lease in Oklahoma next weekend for wild birds). Do I hope I get a tip? yes. Will I be mad if I dont get one? no. I just hope they aren't rude a...

CCBIRDDOGMAN

Thanks y'all I have heard this can happen. And yes food & water is on the floor.

And yes, it's a pigeon and pigeons die but I don't think asking for opinions from experienced people that have raised pigeons for a long time is over thinking it. It's still an animal under my care.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I had two young birds that were looking real good & healthy like the rest of my birds but all of a sudden, one of them looked real weak when I went to feed them, it's chest / breast seemed real thin. I hadn't been watching them real close so I wonder if he wasn't eating and Mom & Dad quit feeding hi...

If I were hunting public, it would definitely be Black kettle.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

Will do, thanks for the responses. We had one guy that hunted Sunday morning for two hours and said he found 5 coveys. I hope these potlickers of mine can scratch out a few birds this weekend. We will be in the field Saturday, Sunday & Monday. Mule is ready with Slime in tires, fresh oil change & ne...

Just checking, we have a lease near Waurika, wondering if anyone got out this past weekend?

A kid can walk down the street carrying a slingshot where I live (the great state of Texas). As long as he isn't being stupid with it.

CCBIRDDOGMAN

I am certainly no expert, but I wouldn't take him more than just out of site of the coop for the first two or three times if he has never flown around and checked out his surroundings. Then maybe 1/4 mile. If you still have him after that, a mile shouldn't be an issue. But again, thats just me and I...

CCBIRDDOGMAN

Carry a slingshot. They will get to where they wont just hang out and watch you. I have a family of Red Foxes here at my house / neighborhood, they drive the dogs crazy at night running up and down the street and in between properties.
