Gun Dog Forum

I'd also like to steer clear of lines that have a propensity for health issues, conformation flaws (underbites, etc.), and other issues. I realize all lines will have some of this, but also know some are more likely to exhibit them within a particular line. I'm aware of some proven lines/dogs in my...

Btw if the owners of those two dogs got "in their head" early in the hunt and controlled them to work slower (which is possible) the probably wouldnt have been running out of control In a confined area??? You want them to hint smart, smart in open land is hard fast and diligently.... If j want mine...

A broke dog is a trained dog. Broke is steady to flush and the dog brings the bird to hand or puts it in a general location.......everything else is lipstick on the pig. No offense to the field trialers....but the the old time and modern southern trainers brake their dogs to flush and bringing the b...

You could have a new barrel put on your 1100 with c/ts and shoot the world!

Good luck!!

Buy yourself a gun you can afford. Doubles are a joy to shoot! The modern doubles, either s/s or o/u, are great. They have selector safeties, that allow you to change barrels. If you are close use the open barrel if not use the tighter barrel.The vintage guns are limited to the choke system they hav...

A e-collar never trained anything..... PLEASE get some help and learn to use it correctly if you don't know how or are unsure. There are lots of folks that would help you. Used correctly they can do a great service in breaking an undesirable habit before it becomes a habit. A dog will mind and respe...

Ah yes, thanks Doc but I think you've pulled off some beautiful shots from what I've seen. Soooo many freakin variables fighting ya to get that one miracleous shot too. Like this chicken here, he/she was pulling the hold, sneak and run routine. Uphill of course. Creek had'em nailed from below and t...

Problem is I'd have to buy some horses and a gawd-awful expensive camera, give up my bearded dogs and hunt with longtails. :lol: :lol: Nope, not at all! Plenty o' good bearded hounds out this way - clean shaven and tail not required!! :lol: your fishin' videos are killin' me too. Won't be long and ...

Well I realized as I was out letting Maggie explore the Iowa "Wilderness" that I haven't put up any photos of her lately. Last time I posted photos she was 10 lbs. Today she is weighing in at 23 lbs and is 4 months old. Enjoy...no birds were planted she was just "having fun" Her watching geese that...

And Bella nailed the first one with a quick point followed up by a little chase, Then on to the next bird for a little longer point as for each and every point got longer,And more style. I though she did gr...
