first off, a blank shot does not have to be fired in a akc derby to give the dog credit for a find. A dog who is seen with bird contact may be called back to see if it will point,so in my eyes a dog who retrieves a bird has had bird contact. The simple part is this,what did the pup do the rest of th...

it does not recognize the format of the saved akc pedigree.
i was wondering if a editor of some sort would change to the saved file to one that this site would recognize

larue

Judged the same as master level except you can talk all you want

larue

Btw take a look at what the akc rulebook says about honoring
And avoidance of the honoring situation.
In both cases it states the dog shall be severely
Penalized section 1e under pointing dog rules

larue

Honoring with style is about showing your dogs Class and is part of the picture you want to paint A dog who is commanded into a back is taking a hit In my eyes just as a dog who needs to be stopped From creeping in on its bird.it is just not as attractive or as classy as a dog who stands his birds o...

I am attempting to post my akc research pedigrees
And I have them saved both on my computer and my email
But I cannot seem to post them.
Anyone know how to post them?
I am not computer savy enough

larue

Just remember good judges watch and use everything In a trial. A dog who honors with class is going to look good And a good judge will appreciate the honor remember a honor shows team work between The dogs and is a huge deal when actually hunting wild birds A judge will also take into account your c...

It appears the dog has some serious fear of going outside To be trained. He is avoiding the entire situation. You need to find out if is bird related or just training outside. . I would do any training inside And keep it simple a whoa table would be great He needs to be happy about outside and it wi...

just looked at the walkin area map for 2014,looks like northern Montana is the place to go

wild birds are the most difficult thing to teach a young dog to handle. the simple answer is to keep running on them it will click. If in working tame birds you are using birds that he can ride in with out them flying off you are teaching the dog that he can get close,wild birds will not allow that....

yeah was looking at all the walk in blm land available. i am going to contact the blm wildlife managers and pick there brains. I have hunted the grasslands of the dakotas for years so i know how much walking is involved. was thinking the miles city area first then the center of the state before the ...

i am headed out to judge for Dan hokes trial in the end of September and am considering driving and hunting my way out and back. Montana would be half way point and i have never really hunted birds there much. so i am looking for any suggestions on where to hunt in Montana I will be on the interstat...

my old dog max loved storms,he would sit in our bay window and watch the storms roll up our valley. He loved shotgun blasts,he would run toward them. Now he was afraid of high powered rifle noise,as they have a different noise and he would hear them during deer hunting. He would go lay down and you ...

have seen plenty of woodcock at pine island,and have watched a few be pointed in trials.It never hurts to point a wild bird in a trial.

larue

I dont know if handler speed is looked at by judges,as a judge i am watching the dog,not the handler.When I walk and the dog is way out front along with the other dog/handler all I can say is,,my dog better stay broke.. Catching up in a walking trial is one of the hardest things to do,when your dog ...

larue

last time i talked to akc they told me they tracked dog placements but not handler placements.maybe it has changed since i talked to them a few years back
so they might require placements but how do they know?

larue

I understand the cost portion of not running in trials.I also am part of a club the four lakes gsp who as a club only hold field trials.Our club consists of a handfull of members,around 10 members total with some not being able to attend all trials.We are all still working and many have families to ...

I have no doubt that max,(dunfur's tule moon) could win af events,I have watched her run a number of times and have watched bob salamones molly more.They are very similar in what they do,with max bigger out west while molly is unbelievable in where she goes in the cover.Lets not forget that most of ...

larue

it is your dog you hunt how you like.That being said birds will run/fly off to the human voice,constantly handling is one of my biggest pet peeves while wild bird hunting.It does and will have an effect of your success.I will not go into range of a dog other than a pointing dog is there to point,and...

I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT SIMON AND LD.MY EVA WHO WAS OUT OF SIMON IS CLEAR.

larue

I would like another simon puppy,hopefully i can get one in a few years when dan uses a straw.

larue

ord, I got eva from karen/brian 9 years ago.a couple pics of her daughters.you should get a very nice pup.

larue

More formal training than a run and gun.Quail will be planted,but under controlled situations.For the two dogs I am working,i might kill one bird each if it goes well.

larue

The crops are all picked,my grounds are in great shape.Looking for a few people who want to meet on sundays to train .I have 300 acres of lowland with fields and edge lines.I need to run some bracework with other dogs. I am located 20 minutes southwest of wis dells.

larue

I have ran with jade, a nice dog.and max had one heck of a event a runner up and a national championship.way to go max.You showed you can do it for irene and for dan.

larue

the biggest issue in trying to give advice is that without being there and watching the dog,it becomes very difficult to understand what is actually going on. The good trainers adjust there training to how each dog is responding,and that ability to read a dog,and figure out which direction to go nex...

I have had the privilege of judging max 4 times,she is one heck of a nice bitch. Irene and cal are some of the nicest people you will meet.I remember one find she had at hokes trial,she was standing on a rock out crossing against the skyline on point for the 10 minutes it took for us to ride to her....

I would not bet against max,,she is one heck of a dog.

off on friday to give the grouse heck in sd.been going out west for like 15 years now,but I was spoiled with my max and blaze dogs.I will have 2 almost 3 year olds,, a pup and eva who is 9,so it should be fun.In my group will be the world famous 2 time national tippy and blue ribbon bobs multiple ho...

How many of you get health certificates when you go out of state hunting?

larue

we had to end blazes pain,he had cancer in his jaw and it was time.Blaze was a max son,who was a fabulous wild bird dog.His one weakness was fur,he would kill any skunk or porky he found,We had plenty of vet visits to remove quills.I remember his first covey find out west,a covey of 100 or more bird...

larue

blaze is home,he went through the surgery like a champ.Regretfully they found the mass had invaded his jaw way to the back.The vet removed as much as he could but the jaw is affected.So I hope we bought him some time,and we have done what we could.

larue

blaze's blood work came back excellent,like a 6 year old dog so we are having the mass removed today,vet says 15 minute surgery,his mom lived over 17 so maybe we get few more years.

larue

I am in the process of decided how to handle my old dog blaze.Blaze turns 15 in june,and has recently developed a mass on his right cheek,i found it this week. A trip to my vet shows that that the best option to find if it is cancer is to remove it and send it in,as the location makes a aspiration t...

litters making money,now there is a funny joke. My last two litters went like this,eva's litter she had 4 pups that survived,one was a stud fee,I keep two but lets assume I sold them.So the potential was 1800 My vet bills for that litter were 1500 bucks,ultra sounds and issues with delivery.another ...

larue

I really am not trying to sell the pup,I just have had some interest in her,and when we talk price it seems to be an issue.I once sold a pup to a pro,it was a max/chelsea pup.He used the pup as a guide dog,then sold the pup for 3500 I was told. Gwen(pups name) ran on sunday with my eva bitch,who run...

hat,,I use birds to develop desire,to enhance point.She is hunting very hard,is pointing her birds hard.I do not count birds to decide how far the dog is along,but what she is doing. As far as pedigree,with a dog at her age you can see what you have,a pedigree never pointed a bird. I am starting yar...

larue

I have had an interesting time selling pups over the years,and it would appear that price is an issue at times.I sold pups out of my last litter for 600,at 8 weeks of age.At that time all were pointing the wing,and 2 were pointing live quail very strong. I recently had some interest in the last rema...

hvac/r is what I do.A quick review of furnaces.The high end modulating furnace run around 97 % efficient,over the standard 92 % single stage ,so a 5 % gain is what you are looking at in gas usage.A two stage will approach the 97% in low fire. The blower motor in a modulating furnace will save you el...

it depends on what you want,the garmin is small easy to use but has a delay and the one I used lost the dogs around 3/4 of a mile. I use the older radio tech,mine is an f and l.I would suggest getting a yagi antenna and pick any of the good collars to go with it. You can track a dog miles away with ...
