Re: pigeons I screwed up

I did this once myself, I went about 5 miles. Let go the whole flock of about 45 birds. 10 or 12 came back but it took several days to a week.

Re: Gun Dog Express.

There are two sides to every story. Sounds to me like you failed to provide the carrier with a servicable address.

Re: GSP Pedigree help

This pedigree does speak for itself, I personally know over 1/2 the dogs and have hunted behind many. I own a littermate to Hiedi and she is one of the finest young prospects I have ever worked with. These pups should get it done in any venue.

Re: throw up

Use one of those stainless steel dishes that has the posts in them, put a couple of tennis balls in the dish with the food. Dog has to work around these obstacles.

Just to set you straight Derrick this is not a reference to the rifle. It is refering to Animal Rights Activists(terrorists).

If the guy you bred to down the street came and picked up his pup why would the same not be true for anyone else?

Re: What to look for?

You asked about Quail Ridge sometime ago, Steve is having a litter with Aja and Gunner. Due in late March, I will be getting a pup from this litter.
