Re: What is the MOST money you've seen or heard a dog sell for?
^^^^ Stud fees and puppies. And IIRC there were some decent purses for some championships ; don't know about futurities and things like Purina awards. But it seems like the stud fees would be somewhat limited; even if these dogs are the equivalent of a Kentucky Derby winner, the stud fees are no wh...

What is the MOST money you've seen or heard a dog sell for?
We have plenty of posts about what's the most you'd pay for a puppy, or what does a started or broke dog go for. But what is the most you've ever heard a dog selling for? In the livestock world it's easy, there are public auctions. I've been to an auction where a $40,000 black angus cow was sold; an...

Best time of year for southern plantation hunt?
Most of the southern plantations use the October 1st to March 31st season. Obviously, this six-month season has a lot of variation in the habitat, the birds, the weather, and the dog's ability to scent. In the early season, the cover is thicker and greener. The birds, if early release or surrogated,...

Re: Dog Boxes.......
Interested in dog box vs dog crate comparison myself. Why not just get one or two crates for the truck?

Re: Winchester model 12 value
First off, these guns (and pump guns in general) are rapidly losing value. Especially in the larger gauges. Second, I have bought two Model 12s in the last five years. One was about a 1956 M12, 12 gauge, "Heavy Duck" gun in exceptional shape for its age. The Heavy Duck models Probably over a 90% con...

Re: Anyone insured the value of their dog?
You can prove value of household goods, jewelry, and other hard goods with receipts and valuation estimates. But how do you prove a dog's value other than by purchase price? How do you prove its value as a stud or brood bitch unless maybe it happens to be one of the most sought after producers in t...

Anyone insured the value of their dog?
I am considering buying property insurance on my dog. However, every google search is either about pet health insurance, or what type of breeds are excluded from your homeowners insurance. I want to insure the replacement value of the dog itself. We all know a finished, titled bird dog is worth some...

Why did the British have so many distinct dog breeds?
Just a curious history question. Why did the British have so many specialized dog breeds? It's a pretty small place (geographically) and I'm guessing population wise, it was always smaller than France, Spain, Germany, and Italy. Flat coat retriever, curly coat retriever, Labrador retriever, golden r...

Re: The Spaniel Spot
Has anyone seen this video of David Lisett's springer, FTCh Buccleuch Pepper? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfzLrCAU550 The dog handling and control seems amazing to me. Is that common in British spaniels and the standard they are trained to? Or is it uncommon and amazing and, hence, the reason fo...

Re: The Spaniel Spot
Has anyone seen this stud dog promotional video of English FTch Buccleuch Pepper? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfzLrCAU550 First, I was really impressed with the dog handling. I've never seen anything like it. Is this much control of the dog common in the US? Is this an uncommon amount of steadin...

Mostly used for pottering around the farm in NC looking for woodcocks, chasing grouse in the southern Appalachians, and did my first fun trials this year. This pic was fro...
