Was just wondering if anyone had the contact info for the guy that makes the stainless steel dog steak outs? I seemed to have lost my info

Hope they do something, I trap and support trapping but would like to see them make those traps be water sets only, lost my five month German short hair this year walking a county ditch on our own land, ditch ran along a county road so it was a legal set nothing I could do, bad deal for sure

I would love to talk with the trapper see how he felt about it, game warden said he would tell him when he returned his traps I would guess I will never hear back from warden even though I asked him to please let me know what he said

tompetey

Yes it was a drainage ditch off a road we have been running our dogs there all year and everyone in the area knows we run them there, if you don't read the rule book you would have never guessed that it would be legal an then you never would even have thought to look or be aware of the traps but I d...

Been Roading my dogs on a gravel road sometimes just free running to, but the feet and pads keep getting tore up broke nails chunks out of the pads, any thing I can do another way to exercise them?

tompetey

I had a question about the feet problems I road my dogs on gravel with no boots about three times a week for 1/2 hour and I have been having problems with chucks coming off the pads, then they get very sore and have tried boot but the the tops of feet get raw how do I prevent these problems?

tompetey

I tried using a bike but if any birds or squirls are around things get hairy in a hurry! I use a Polaris ranger with a bar hooked to front bumper seems to work well

tompetey

Just wondering how long to road the dogs and how fast been doing it three days a week for 1/2 hour around 18mph lookin for what others do

tompetey

witch is the best tracking collar for field trials does the garmin work well, does it find the dog even if it is just turned on after the dog is running? I am looking to get one and want to make a good choice

tompetey

It sure works good for me if I can keep the hawks away birds are all locked down for winter, but will be ready to race and train the dog this spring, I also like the trap style door rather than a bob style birds seem to go through it better are you going to have homers or barn birds?

tompetey

I have a 4X4 X4 with a 2x2 aviry I buy pigeons from a guy who seems to know it all its his job he said I can have 13 to 14 birds I have 12 now they are doing great here is a pic

tompetey

Good point on that one, I never thought of that. I am still learning like the dog I just don't want to screw things up with her I think she has great potential

tompetey

Well just got back from giving the dog a bird today I let her just run and hunt but had to keep her in our area but for the most part just let her do her thing, the wind was wrong for us today so when she hit the scent she was almost on top of it she her tail wagged for a sec then she locked herself...

tompetey

here she is my first GSP 8 month old Josie I cant believe the amount of drive these dogs have I have had labs in the past but they were not quite as much of a hand full these fun

tompetey

thanks for the advise! So what I need to do is let the dog do her thing when I plant the bird in the launcher and say nothing but when the dog moves trip it and release the bird, and just do whoa traing in the yard?

tompetey

yes I have a dogtra remote launcher I have been giving the dog a few birds a week and trying to pop it as soon as the dog moves should I have her on a leash? and do not try and whoa her just dont say a word?

tompetey

Yes the cabelas one rubs the dogs arm pits raw makes a mess of them and a very sore dog

tompetey

I have a 8month old GSP great dog with awesome drive my question is how can I let her rang if she wont hold point quite long enough for me to get there to flush the bird, we have been working on whoa training and any other time if I say whoa she stops and does good but the bird has to much pull yet ...
