That's one heck of a camera Don........oh and the dog ain't bad either.

Taking Cooper running tomorrow, we'll work on some Chukar while we're there.

Will we see you at the trial April 25 - 26?

I'm not familiar with "Miller" can you expand on the breeding and kennel?

Thanks

I now have a field bred dog out of Chukarhill Burn Notice and he even though he puts birds in the bag he is much more exciting to watch.

Chukarhill Burn Notice is a real nice dog!

Is it fair to judge an entire breed by what you've seen in your backyard? Another consideration is because it's a small breed population-wise, sometimes in a region the breed is represented by only a couple of bloodlines, and often those dogs are related. So what you see isn't always more than a th...

They are much smaller, Stormy is 44.5# and, I just measured, 22" at the shoulder. That's interesting Don, I had cooper (Stormy's liter mate brother) to the vet Monday and he is 23.5" at the shoulder and 33.6 lbs. I've thought from looking at your pictures that Stormy was a litter stocker then Coope...

For craig- I just bred a litter on the field side, and one male is structurally super impressive to my show eye. He will just never be of size or produce the coat. But in the right areas... He may have a chance. I'm debating keeping him around to see how he develops. I am not scared of showing smal...

I realize that but wouldn't the undersized AKC dogs be laughed out of the show ring also? Not taking issue with your post, Red, but your comment brings to mind a misconception I've noticed over time, crossing over between AKC and AF trials...it seems some folks think that because a dog is AKC regis...

Craig, Just because that is the AKC standard doesnt mean all AKC dogs are that size and weight. They might not be registered FDSB, but they could fit right in with the crowd.

I'd take exception to some of the description in http://www.brytestar.com/redsetr.htm write up also. Cooper is 15 months and weighs 33 lbs. The last time I had him out running he averaged 8.9 MPH on a 55 minute run with a top end of 21. That average includes drink stops as well as peeing, pooping an...

Looking forward to the pictures Don. It's always fun staying in touch with the offspring. I'll try and get some of Cooper so people can compare a couple of litter mates.

BTW do you think you'll be able to make the Coulee City trail June 28th and 29th?

I got tired of waiting on my bitch to come in and put her with another female in heat. About a week later in she came, coincidence? I think not.

If your dog breaks through, then it can't come back in Doesn't keep the Rottie from down the street from coming in and eating your dog Doesn't keep other critters out..

I don't want to hijack this thread, but how about the invisible fences that do not use wire? They have a base that is kept in the house and the dog can range in a 90 foot radius around the base, but if they get out of that area the collar stimulates them. I have looked at this several times but hav...

I had to go to higher power collar to prevent my dogs from going through when a cat showed up. The high power collars have 5 levels of stimulation and I find a 2 or 3 works for my dogs.

Craig, Dogs need to be spayed/neutered in order to get a PAL. PAL dogs are not allowed to participate in trials; they can participate in hunt tests. Edited to add...spayed/neutered dogs can compete in trials and tests. At one time on the AKC there was a section that did include PAL dogs for trials,...

http://images.akc.org/pdf/ADPAL1.pdf Because of the reciprocity issues, you may have to fudge some of the answers on the application. Then there is the spay/neuter requirement to consider.

Being a FDSB only registered Irish Red Setter you have a few options. If you have the dog spayed or neutered (depending on the sex of the pup) you can then run it in AKC trials. I've been told that even if you win you can't get the award and it won't show on any registration papers. If you want to ...

Craig How long have you had red setters, and how have they worked out for you.

Nice looking dog. She should throw some good pups. My Bree had a litter about 8 weeks ago. I'm keeping one and the rest will be going to their new homes soon.

Personal preference I guess. I hunt willow Ptarmigan on the Barrens of Newfoundland( somewhat similar to moors in Ireland) and these birds at times can be pretty wild. Sometimes I think a low profile on a dog may have its advantages. Your Red sure has a nice style! low set and high tail. Thanks and...

The biggest divergence is the 12 o'clock tail over here. Some interesting reads. Craig O. Is the 12 O'clock tail a conditioned trait or does it come out naturally in some setter?
