don't know that they are mowing it as waste, they are mowing it and baling it for feed because all the pastures are burned up.

never had trouble while running dogs. However, our neighbor lost a house dog to a pack of 'yotes. They let the dog out to do his business before bed, I had heard the Coyotes yipping all night then all of a sudden dead silence. 10 minutes later I hear the neighbor hollering in their pasture for the d...

I would say there is a lot of genetic predisposition to be better in the heat. However, I will say that conditioning and body condition that dog is in has a lot to do with it. If the dog is too heavy then it will heat up quicker, if it is out of shape it will heat up quicker. Getting your dogs in co...

Here is one I am partial to, his main problem is his handler, but hey when you have a handful of a dog and he is your first real trial caliber dog there is a steep learning curve, just gotta work to get better every training session. He is goes about 57 lbs, runs with good style, and obviously point...

I had ACL and medial meniscus cartilage repair in 1995, it sounds like you have cartilage damage or inflammation of scar tissue that built up after the surgery and subsequent healing processes. With you saying you have never had full range of motion since surgery, sounds like this could very well be...

I have been feeding this food since last fall (bought a 66 bag pallet). I am getting ready to place another order and am trying to find purchasing partners to go in on the next pallet. If you are interested in feeding a high quality food at a good price (it is not cheap), feed less food per feeding ...

I cracked the screen on my Garmin today working dogs. Does anyone know if there is a way to get a replacement screen and install it outside of sending the unit to Garmin for service at $150 rate? This should be a $20 or less fix not $150 bucks.

Slow down your pup is very young to be introducing it to gunfire, introduce birds get it fired up for birds then introduce gunfire only around birds when it is in chase of a flushed bird. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a good bird dog!

If you are after setters in NSTRA talk to Wes Barr, check the NSTRA website he should be listed on there somewhere.

Travis,

The American Field would reach out more to the target audience, you might also post through NSTRA's website.

I have fed the 26/18, 24/20 and 30/20 formulas. the 26/18 here is $26 and the 30/20 is $27 I have not seen the GF formulas at the local dealer. I feed the 26/18 and the 30/20 dogs do well on it, my two trial dogs are on PP Performance, that is what they were on and doing well so I didn't change but ...

Looking good, are you going to cut in windows or ventilation.

I would keep the e-collar handy just in case, they are animals not robots and she is a curious pup as well!

Puppy basically up to a year old, looking for potential, pup should go with you and to the front, puppy manners around game acceptable. Derby=1 to 2 years old basically based on birth date of the dog if the dog was born in summer or fall then they are at a disadvantage to those born in Jan-March or ...

Bob is a hoot and when you get the three of them together it is a great time. All three great guys who would do anything to help anyone out. Bob-o is in his mid 70's and still running dogs from foot, horseback and hunting the sandhills all day long.

Here is the situation, he has gotten away with getting away so now it seems okay to him, I had the same problem with one of my dogs, he went where he pleased not where I wanted him to run or to key off me on the horse. If they can get away from you and they can on foot no matter the collar situation...

this is precisely why message boards can be a PIA, individuals should not be mentioned by name. I think that SJ can get what ever is needed from either person mentioned, knowing both personally and the product that either is capable of turning out. Be clear of what you want and what you expect from ...

Anyone have experience shipping an adult dog, is it cheaper to ship by ground or air, I know it is cheaper for pups to go airlines. I am looking to get a dog from the Portland, Oregon area to Kansas City area in the next few weeks. If anyone has suggestions let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Something that not everyone has in the embroidered logo print department is to get a set of the canvas insulated saddle bags with the logo of the trial on them.

I am feeding a horseback field trial dog that I own, Enhance Professional Athlete and am pleased with the body condition that it keeps him while being worked and roaded,3-4x per week. The question is that at times it seems he gets really hot, can act like the workout is not even affecting him and br...

How many of you use a plantation type saddle vs a trooper? I have a Tarpin Hill that I am contemplating moving out for a plantation or endurance type saddle. Considering the Hillcrest Plantation saddles made in Indiana by Myron Razor. Has anyone seen these or ridden in one? Thanks in advance.

I know a very successful long time field trialer in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that feeds it and has for years, he had it rebagged and sold it for a while as well. He still feeds it and says it is a good food. I have seen his dogs, over the years and know that he knows performance and what it takes t...

Tony has some really nice dogs, I think all the dogs he has currently are out of Nat'l Ch. Lester's Snowatch and his female that is out of Belfield Silver.

Cup your hand rub her throat vigorously for about 15 seconds. Does this result in a coughing fit? It may also be allergies, Benadryl can be used in dogs, may just give her a 1 benadryl in the am and in the pm for a couple of days and see if it helps. If it is kennel cough it must runs its course, ve...

Could it be time to visit starting a rotating trial each year or find something that is a little more centrally located for all the pros that want to make the trip. My thought that the economy could also be a factor playing into more limited traveling attendance as well.
