Sam Training is training, and hunting is hunting. When out hunting that is the results if the training put in. Out in the field hunting you reinforce/correct what's been learned in training, but for me anyway all training is done in the training field. You can still continue training year round even...

Watch the temps once they start to drop the snakes will disappear. I live in the High Desert of California and we have run into Mohave Greens or other rattle snakes , almost every year early in the season. The state that I've seen the most rattlers early in the season is Idaho. We've ran to as many ...

It's not abnormal to breed a real nice Field Trial bitch in the 6-9 year range. If a female is being campaigned and is hitting her prime years in the field it's hard for owners to pull that dog to breed her, so sometimes they get held back from breeding until they are 7 or older. Age to me is subjec...

Feed him earlier, leave him outside if you have a fenced yard. Put him up and before you go to bed take him out again. Leave water available all day but take water away a couple hours before putting him up. Know that when puppies eat they then poop, puppies sleep and then when they wake up they pee ...

My buddys and i have hunted a single dog each ages 3-7 years old all GSPs in Washington and Idaho along the snake river from Pullman to Brown Lee Resivor , hunting Pheasant, Chukar, Huns , and Quail for a week straight, 8 plus hours a day, and the dog handled it. Sure the dogs were sore after the 3r...

IMO the best chukar dogs are dogs in shape, not over fed, have good dark pads, light weight dogs with long legs. Heavier boned dogs will struggle more. Color can play into the hunt on real hot days, but again if your dogs not over fed and not on the family loved feeding program , the dog will perfor...

Looking at the past unless we personally watched a dogs development and training, or are judging by production records, it to hard to breed backwards. I agree with TAK in that dogs should be improving with each generation, but that takes a breeder that has an open opinion on their breeding program. ...

Carl, thanks for the nice words about Neo, and Goonie. I'll agree with Carl in that Blues is a dog I could only aspire to owning and and hopefully through her pups hope to produce dogs of her caliber.

Ryan Again not everyone is in the same situation as you and myself. Not everyone has wild birds to go run and train dog on. Most of the dogs I train are for people that live in the city 2 hours from any area to run their dogs. If everyone lived in wild bird habitat there would be less habitat, holdi...

I will say not all dogs are born with alot of it. The good one are, and thats why its important to do your homework when picking out a pup. Out here in California things arent cheap. If your buying a $200 dog theres a good chance that it will take more time, and cost more to train that dog, and that...

LarryLowell

Running a pup to get their natural abilitys out is great, and with some dogs thats all they need, just depends on what your looking for as the owner. Free running a pup on wild birds is not formal training. Formal training is checkcord work, and e-collar work. In my puppy program I do free run pups ...

I was wondering what makes a dog worth 5000. What makes 8 week old pups worth a 1000. I feel that there are very few dogs in the world that are worth 5000 and furthermore if a dog is truly worth that then there should be no reason he is for sale. JMO. I'd like to hear a little philosophy behind the...

but if the breeder is one of "THOSE " breeders...it sure doesn't do their breed any justice at all Well I dont know if I would go so far as to say that, they did choose to use a GSP, to outcross with, LOL, so that would help the breed as far as becoming a better "Birddog", or at least those dog any...

I would say that there is a GSP in the woodpile back in there somewhere if the Weimy looks like that top picture. I've never seen a liver Weimy before, at least nothing that looks like that.

I didnt have time to read through all the replys, so if you've already been given this advice, take it for what it is, My Opinion. First off, your first mistake was using the wing on a string.

If there is a chance a problem may even pop up, why do it, even if it can be fixed with ease ?

A dog is worth what someones willing to pay. Some of the off breeds charge more for their dogs because there are less of them and when you have less of something its normally more expensive.
