Brittany with a flat coat. I have a new Brittany male that could spend his whole life in your arms. My female is not near as affectionate. Both are 250 yard dogs but you can rain them in. Got my last dog from Kristy Goodall and all the dogs in that line are affectionate. Unfortunately this dog has ...

It looks like they are available at Gun Dog Supply. I didn’t try to order one, are they out of stock? Why not support the company that supports us here on the forum, same prices, better service and they host this board so it is free for us to learn/help and free from advertisement.

The dummy that has a rubber ball on the end of the throwing string. Dog got it and ate the ball when I wasn't watching. I replaced the ball with a 1 1/8 size steel nut on a 6 inch cord. He will not shake that. Also I can throw it 100 ft with ease with the extra weight.

Google pointing Breeds of Southern California. So Cal NSTRA is raffling off a new Garmin collar and transmitter.

oldbeek

I had an earlier biothane that did what you said. Have one from Gundog Supply at least 2 years old and in looks good and pliable

Look at face book,Southern California pointing breeds. Mitch Prowse at Dragonpoint gun dogs has amazing GSP gun dogs. He is in Paso Robles CA. He competes in NSTRA and every dog he sells ends up on the podium, no matter who trains them. We have one member from the northwest region that regularly goe...

I have a dogtra RRS ser.01648. Dont know how old. Receiver light stays solid red after turned on. I sent my set to Dogtra service about 7 years ago. One receiver was not working. Cost was under $50.00 and they Got them back to me in 7 days.

We definitely have a trial scheduled for Jan 7-8,2023. Our trial grounds are at 15650 Lockwood Valley rd, Near Frazier Park CA. Many current members have young dogs, this should be a interesting year. If you are in the LA area, come out and get acquainted with the game. We offer dry camping and serv...

oldbeek

Do you determine the sex of your young birds? I am in the LA area and thinking of starting a new loft of birds. A hawk got into my loft and killed all my good breeders. Need to shoot the rest and start over. You are near Downey, right?

oldbeek

Good line of homers make better training birds anyway. All of my good breeders are from racing stock. As soon as one set of chicks leave the nest, they lay again in a day or 2.

Standing Stone on u-tube is a good free video. they call it trained retrieve.

oldbeek

@coveyrise64 how old was your dog when using their retrieve program. My pup retrieves well naturally but will drop it on top of my shoes every time. He is 9 months. I had one of those. Didn't think it was a problem till I took 2 nephews hunting pheasants and they just winged every one. Pup dropped ...

I used a bell on close working Brittanys. Cant tell you how many times I was cussing that dog. Where the heck is she. Frustration. I hunt on the Mojave desert also. I got a big running Brittany and broke down and bought a Garmin 430. Would never be without one again. so much more satisfying hunts. y...

oldbeek

Real homers need to stay till they have mated with a partner and raising young in your loft.

oldbeek

Sharon, I just came across this subject. I hope you have family to enjoy in your declining years. I have my son, daughter and grand, great grands near my wife and i. I have one nephew that is like a son. We hunt together many times a year. I love to be around family.

oldbeek

NSTRA, was designed to extend your season with your dog. it replicates hunting. I started into it just to extend my season but after I won a few I am hooked. My dog loves the competition.When up against a really good dog, she excels. Her form is crappy but she finds more birds than most. My Britt an...

oldbeek

I am going to have to pick this pup over the internet as I need to help my wife exist at home and cant be away that long. I have total trust in the breeder and she is going to help evaluate them in the next few weeks. We will be doing it by video. A friend with second pick is bringing him home for m...

oldbeek

How do you do it? They are from an amazing line. This may be the one. Boldest pup in the litter so far. I have first pick and breeder would have picked him also. She is keeping the only female.

oldbeek

Good luck at that Nstra trial. My sons GSP came in first out of 24 in the regional eliminations last Saturday, and got to the run off on Sunday to end up first runner up. SC Nstra on face book. My dog decided to hunt lizards and Horney toads during eliminations. Grrr! Tell Mike Smith I sent you. PS:...

If you like a backpack design, look at the Bucks Bags Upland jacket. Most comfortable vest I have ever worn.

You-tube Standing Stone Kennels and subscribe. Or Perection Kennels. See how they do it.

oldbeek

This dog has her opinion about stocked birds for sure. Last weekend we had a fun, work and training day at the nstra trial grounds. Dogs know you cant correct them during the trial. We set up mock trials with birds and judges, but dogs could be handled and e-collars could be used. It was success fo...

I use a large landing board that has a removable screen over it. Daily I put my young birds out on the board with the screen cover on, so they learn how to enter through the bobs before I ever let them fly free.. I do this just before feeding time. When they pop right in to get to the feed, I know t...

8 Mojave Greens in or near my yard in one season. One was on my grass while I was cleaning up after a birthday party. 30 6 year olds were there a few hrs before. Less snakes = less breeding.

oldbeek

Hip replaced 2 1/2 weeks ago. Doing great. I feel so good I could probably go out and damage it. While asking my surgeon what I could do now, I asked if I could run my dog off my quad. He looks over his glasses and says, Don't screw up that new hip I gave you.

oldbeek

I use a short 4# sledge. I have a stainless steel post with 2 bearing retainer rings near the top for attachment of the water bowl right on top. Machinist friend makes them. Easy to drive and remove.

oldbeek

I refuse to give up. Of coarse I live on the edge of the desert with quail around my house. Getting a pup from Kristy and Dean Goodall in June. I have had a bunch of body parts removed and some replaced but still moving forward. Got a new hip last week and have not had a back ache since. In my count...

oldbeek

Have to agree on setters. I have never seen one out west when hunting. I was convinced the show people had bred the bird dog out of them. Got into NSTRA and find there are some fantastic small setters around. Here in So Cal GSP's dominate the field. Brittanys come in second.. AZ has lots of English ...

oldbeek

The 509 launchers have a drop down door where you can load the birds from the end. It has a hole that goes thru the door--Take some duct tape and tape that hole shut-- If you don't, quail can stick their head out that hole and when you launch them it will kill or cripple them since their head is ou...

Google Wilderness Athlete. They are in Utah. They have a glucosamine vitamin formula that my dog likes. Just sprinkle it on their food. Very inexpensive and seems to do the job. I use their recovery mix when in competition. It is also great for recovering from a hang over. We tend to drink a little ...

I have a greater horned owl that cleaned out all my rodents. Last week he got into my coup and ate one of my best homers. I left the bob entry open. Oh well. I ushered him out the door. Owls do nests early in the year. probably feeding young. He has been here in my trees for 3 years now.

North and south support each other as much as possible. NCN trials are much closer to Reno than coming down to so cal. There are 3 NCN members that consistently come to so cal trials.I am only 45 miles from so cal permanent grounds. Were you able to navigate the NSTRA.org site? Go to regional to fin...

a real simple fit tool I saw years ago was to tape a drinking straw on the receiver in the site plane. throw it up and see where it is pointing. you should be looking down the center of the straw.

Have you ever done NSTRA ? Northern Cal-nevada region is having a trial in Vinton, NV on March 19-20. Nstra is designed to replicate bird hunting and to extend your season. Pretty close to Reno. If you have never done it, you should give us a look. Lots of great guys that will make you feel right at...

Had an electronic problem with my Dogtra. Sent it to them a Monday and received it back fixed on the following Wednesday. Great service at a very fair price.

welcome. My last chukar hunt was up near Orvada when I was 75. Had some health issues after that. Getting another spare part so I may be back at it next year. I enjoy flat land quail at 80. Brittany guy.

In my early days, I was running her as a bye dog. There were no other bye dogs to be had. I told the judge if she acts up I was going to shake her up. The judge said he would DQ me.

Welcome!!! I am a Brittany guy out west. Love NSTRA for the off season. Used to hunt with GSPs and a Lab.

If I was to start over with collars at this point I'd go to Gun Dog supply and check out the Garmin ALPHA10 collar. will handle up to 20 dogs and cost only$400! That would be a steal! . At GDS that is for hand held only. Add another $300 for a collar. There are some 430 sets out there now used, but...

some young birds have a hard time learning how to be parents. Give them time.

Last day of the season. My hip has been killing me so I am trying to let it rest. I was going to watch the football play off games and use my heat pad. Went outside to feed my pigeons and found it was a beautiful day. My Brittany was dancing around in anticipation. I thought, to heck with the pain. ...

Her first time on a long trip in a dog trailer full of GSPs. I think she was insulted to be transported in such a shabby manner. Usually up in the cab with me. Had to sleep out in the dog trailer also. Very nice custom trailer. Well,, she totally blew me off. Long hard trip for me and she totally sc...

I am heading to North Cal trial with 3 other guys from So cal. Northern Cal Nevada, NCN, had a trial all ready to go and covid cost them 6 entries. So Cal is going to the rescue.

if they do get bold or pups get curious. I hit them with 8s at 40-50 yards. That thing about water lines. I had one that started eating my drip lines right next to the pond I have for them. ??? out west near the Tejon ranch a guy shoots them all the time. He uses decoy dogs also. The population out ...

Garrison, what you had is young dogs with no skilled leader. There is no way a smart bitch leading a pack be anywhere near your dog with you in the area. I once had a pest control license which required many hours of education on how to eliminate pests. The first order of business is to identify the...

what do you feed them? that sounds like a lot of feed.
