Pm sent blindduck

UPDATE: Have been receiving multiple PM's on how much the stud fee is and to answer the question, Im not charging a fee for the breeding. However, I will like to keep a puppy for personal use. The rest of the pups are yours to keep/sell. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

This is such a small world, Ive hunted with stone as well. Do you mind PMing me because its not letting me pm you. I can send some pics of both Lora and Stone

Xhipi1

Hi Makintrax,
I actually know quite a bit about Loras long gone nixon line. I have hunted with Lora her self and she is a phenomenal hunter. I believe she (lora) came from a kennel in Walnut Illinois. if you dont mind me asking what is the Sire's line?

Pedigree

Xhipi1

Hey guys I'm looking to breed my 3 year old male English setter. He has great bloodline and has strong prey drive. Have hunted pheasants and quail with him but he excells in grouse and woodcock hunting. I have posted some pics including his pedigree. Contact me if interested. Thank you

Xhipi1

Sorry a little off topic but campgsp do you trap pigeons in Chicago? I live near the city and wanted to try it out but dont know where to start and what to do. Any tips?

Xhipi1

Im glad you found your dog safe and still alive.

Xhipi1

Well I have only owned 1 english setter and can tell you a little about it. My pup has Ryman blood in him and from what I can see in him and in his father is that they are particaulry big in size with block shape heads and have long coats. The dame of my pup comes from long gone Nixon. She is a smal...

I was referring to the ticking that comes out later in the pups life. Thanks for clarifying it up.

Xhipi1

Like the above poster said. Check kennels and see what traits you find desirable. Check the stud and dame and that should give you a good idea on the size and coat length. Just remember all english setter pups come out white and stay like this for a little. This is something I didn't know.

Xhipi1

thanks for the response. seems like the dame has a pretty good bloodline. the pup is almost a year old now and is doing everything i want it to like holding points, using his nose instead of just sight, and fetches. the only thing he hasnt gotten yet is backing.

Xhipi1

thanks for the replies. The father was a ryman setter. he had a classic setter point, and large bone structure. the mother on the other hand was smaller and kept a 12oclock tail. As my pup gets older, its funny to see how much he is getting from the parents. For example, he has that large body build...

I'm on the fence about it. A sling does have its benefits when on those long hunts but they can get in the way sometimes. When I hunt my gun is in my hands with the safety on and my hand over the trigger guard to protect from branches hitting the trigger. Also I like the fact that its easier for me ...

Xhipi1

Hey guys can you guys tell me anything about this bloodline? I know bloodline isn't everything but will the pups come out good hunters?

Xhipi1

I introduced my dog to gun fire using a .410 then moved up to a 20 and then finally a 12 gauge. The reason for using these gauges is just due to my availability to them. What I did was had a friend stand at a far distance and i played fetch with my dog. as the dumper started to drop from the air he ...

Xhipi1

does anyone know if any part of Illinois gets woodcock this time of year? I live in Chicago and would love to let my dog loose on some wild birds.

Xhipi1

Poodles were originally bred as hunting dogs and are still used as retrievers. Look at Si from duck dynasty he proved Phil and Jase wrong with his poodle.

Xhipi1

Thanks for the reply ezzy I appreciate it

Xhipi1

It was in a liquid form and I thought ivermectin was a paste like substance that didnt work for ticks? Am I mistaken?

Xhipi1

Hey guys I have a question, I was over a local kennel and was talking to the breeder who said he gives all his dogs this solution he makes on his on that prevents heartworm, some stomach worms and prevents ticks.He gives it orally to the dogs each month. Does anyone know what this is and how to make...

Xhipi1

Where are you located? if your in illinois i can give you some bird breeders where i get my birds from.

Xhipi1

ouch. at least the dog is OK. it could have been much worse.

Xhipi1

Are you giving banks any type of treats? My dog gets an upset stomach when we give him milk bone treats.

Xhipi1

As I stated before he loves pointing out rabbits when I walking him. This was taken today he spotted a rabbit so pointed it

Xhipi1

my setter points out rabbits all the time when im walking him. he stands up tall and his tail is low which is the complete opposite of what he does when he points birds. i let him point and dont pull him away. i kind of wish i could shoot those rabbits but the city frowns down upon walking through t...

Xhipi1

man your in a tough situation. have you tried contacting the "under the table" roofer? does he have his own illegal company or is it just some guy off the streets who thinks he knows what hes doing? i had a similar situation with a granite counter top guy. i purchased an uncut piece of granite for m...

Xhipi1

you should go get it x rayd just in case. try applying gentle pressure to various areas on the tail and move up to were the injury is and see how the pup reacts. if he cries of something along those lines it could be broken. i know my pup had his tail doing funny things on time and i too thought it ...

Xhipi1

i have hunted with a female out of the kennel. The dog is amazing, retrieving, backing, pointing doing every thing you would want. she had her first point at 8 weeks and started to back at 6 months. the female is HUGE though. i have a big English setter at almost 65 lb and she is just as big as he i...

Xhipi1

sorry to somewhat hijack this tread but wanting to keep the dog house warm i put some old padded carpet in the house is this better than the hay?

Xhipi1

welcome to the forum. youll find allot of great people and info here. looking forward to seeing some of those pic

Xhipi1

does she come from a hunting background? i would start of with just the basic commands like here, heel fetch etc and then introducing her to birds. like show her a pigeon, let her smell it and let the pigeon go she should chase after it then from there plant a couple and see what she does. just go s...

Xhipi1

i dont think its ever too late. I mean if the dog is close to death and cant walk then your out of luck there but at 2 years old she still has the mental capability of learning new things. As long as she has a hunting bloodline, its going to be wired in her since birth. teaching her to hunt will be ...

Xhipi1

you might have tried this already but this worked with my pup so thought i might add. try adding a raw egg in puppy food the added calories from the egg and puppy food might help. How is her activity level? does she run around and acts normal even with the weight loss?

Xhipi1

i think hes doing that because he know you will chase him if he picks something up. try having a leash on him in the house too and if he picks something up hes not supposed to have just pull him back calmly say "leave it" and give him something he can play with. This is just a guess im not an expert...

Xhipi1

He has dropped this nasty habit. In my case I do believe it was just a pup being a pup. But I do agree that this isn't a habit to take lightly there can be serious consequences.

Xhipi1

awesome pics. at least you get to go out once in a while. School has to be the worst though, In october there are mid-term, beginning of December there are finals and throughout the year there are tests, papers and quizes. HOW FUN!!! hopefully all be able to catch up on hunting when my masters degr...

i laughed so hard when i read this

but i dont think hes a bad looking pup. good looks dont put birds in your bag a good dog does.

Xhipi1

he has drastically changed over the weeks. now whenever he picks up a rock or something he isnt supposed to have in his mouth i say "drop it" and if he continues to have it in his mouth i physically remove it and smack his rear a little. it seems to be working so far. just a little FYI This is a qu...

this is a great post. this is my first gun dog and so far im loving it. My pups sire is out of october stonewall pine and howards dixie pepper and the dam is out of long gone nixon and kelly's rainbow lucille. i attached a couple of pics of him.

Xhipi1

you can show him a couple of times by closing the door and sticking your hand out through the doggy door with a small treat in hand. once he begins to sniff your hand pull your hand slowly inside and the dog should follow. do this a couple of times with and without the treat.

Xhipi1

nice looking pup. the farm your hunting in is picturesque

Xhipi1

looks like a fun day. the outfit that your son is wearing is awesome. its better than what i wear to go out haha

Xhipi1

Xhipi1
