Re: horse inspection and delivery and fat horse

I've some where the vet walks around them and says he's good to go and I've seen some where the vet shows up with a team and one is an accupuncturist and the other is a joint specialist and the o...

Re: WINGSHOOTING USA
He asked me for a video and I came through x2 for that matter. Those two dogs are more mannerly then anything on Scott's show and one is a 16 week old pup. The show just isn't for me. Why can't that be ok.

I put all of my youngsters on a chain and let them watch older started dogs. That's enough to get them thinking birds. Then I get them off and its their turn. If I had to do some gimmicky stuff with a pup to fire him up about birds he wouldnt be in my kennel long.

I like to use a pigeon pole with young pups like yours. Just don't let your pup catch a bird. If he doesn't point it the first couple of times I wouldn't worry too much. If he won't point a bird after the 6th or 7th go then I might be concerned a little. He's a pup and if he's bred well he'll do wha...

I would put more value on a dog that wins consistently. Championship titles are nice but some dogs get lucky and win 1. If I had a dog that had 30 plus field trial placements and no championship wins I would take a pup out of something like that.
