Does not matter to me, they all smell the same and I try to hide them in cover no matter what color.

Only a 7.8?

Garbonita has a nice litter on the way.

How about some songs that have to do with dogs. Putting music to a slide show. Everly Brothers Bird Dog and Elvis Hound Dog. What are some others?

larry

I have done it in the past,most return but not as good as quail though. Make sure your entry funnel is big enough for chukar.

larry

I also have pet-safe, each collar can be set for each individual dogs need. Dogs love the freedom of running in the yard, have killed 2 woodchucks and 1 rabbit. When not at home dogs are either in their kennel or crated in the house.

No the first person was touching both contacts. Did it a couple times, once I was first and once last. Yes, and some times do it just for the fun of it. one time three of us held hands and even the third person could feel the stimulation. Did a person on each end of the line touch a probe contact?

JH has no age limit on when a dog can be tested. NA dog cannot be over 16 months. I prefer to see the pups under one year.

We use a hidden dog fence

Another vote for 16!

The ones run over by the car are already cutlets.

Cajun do they taste better if shot or hit by a car?

larry

You do not say what you are looking to get out of one of these dog clubs, and what kind of hunting you will be doing with your dog. I am very familiar with NAVHDA and know that thier testing program is only part of what they are about. I believe that their main purpose is to help the dog owner learn...

Im in, Larry

If the dog is FF there is no problem. When I FF I overlay with the e-collar so I can clean up a lot of the dogs mistakes easily.

John, TT is very good about exchanging collars. I know a couple of people that have gotten TT colars used them once or twice and decided they wanted a different model and TT exchanged them no charge.

larry

Not sure why you chose the Pro 200? I have always used the Pro 100 for pointing dogs, I like the larger range of continuos stimulation. Your colar has the large range of momentaty stimulation.

larry

Put a small fence around it to keep the dogs away.

I bought 4 dogtras several years ago and have had no problems. Wish I had bought 6. Buy as many as you can comfortably afford.

Never thought about eating them but they would allready be marinated!

[quote="KFhunter"]love the popcorn idea, but don't understand how it would work as once the corn dried off the alchohol would evaporate?? Maybe I got the recipe wrong, use the pop-corn wet.

larry

Just remembered a way to trap that was told to me last year. Says it is not a joke he has done it a few times. Pop some pop-corn, choose your favorite whiskey, soak the po-corn in the whiskey and let dry. Dtinking the whiskey while making you pop-corn is optional. Go to the city park and start feedi...

Thats about it, also if you fire your starter pistol when the bird gets to the end of the lime you get some steady to shot and fall training.

larry

I used an old Fishing pole and reel. Duct taped a metal stake to the handle and but some 30LB test on the reel. Could let out as much line as needed and when not in use reeled the line in.

larry

I feel a lot of the good breeders are not in it for the money. They do it to try and better the breed and for the love of the dogs.

larry

You need to put your trap where the birds are feeding not roosting. You can get birds to start feeding in an area of your choise but it will take a while and you will have to put feed out daily. If you have access to a barn with pigeons roosting in it try catching them at night. We have very good lu...

No trap needed go at night with a ladder and small net, usually you can grab by hand at night.

Ruth, just one tip. Have your husband backup so the dog has to completly come out of the water before delivering to hand. @NIKE, i will be posting pics of the kennel soon, brians been so busy building for others he hasnt been to our property in a while :D ..ruth @LARRY, our member friends at NAVHDA...

Don't over feed your birds, I feed mine in the evening. If I let them out to fly or use them to train I put thier evening feed in the coop after I let them out. They don't stay out long and seldom land on the roofs as they are wanting to get back in to feed.

Where are the gaters, in by the AC?

Ruth, try doing it in your yard, when going out of sight just go around the corner of a building.

larry

What works better than smacking your dog with the shotgun barrel is putting the e-collar oh the dog. When you want to make a correction when healing touch the dogs nose with the end of the barrel at the same time stimulating with the e-collar. Dog thinks the juice is comming from the gun tip, and as...

Ruth, You are doing the right thing by setting up the training to mimic the test. She may heel well, but remember, you will only have a 3’ wide space between the stakes. It is very tight. Unless the dog is used to that, it is easy for her to get confused and go around a stake rather than between th...

larry

Ruth, You can go on-line to www.NAVHDA.org and see the test rules under testing.

larry

Ruth, get a copy of the NAVHDA aims and rules book, this will answer all of these questions. Also consider attending a NAVHDA handlers clinic this would be very helpful. There are several in the north east this summer. My chapter (Southern Tier of NY) is having one June 25 & 26, and we still have a ...

To be truthful the UPT test was desined more for the new handler trainer than it was for the dogs.

larry

Ruth, if you look at the NAVHDA web site they have the official test entry form. It asks on the form if your dog might be in heat at time of test. Also asks if you woul be willing to test on Sunday (or last day of test) if dog is in heat. As soon as your dog shows signs of coming in to heat and it w...

Good luck Ruth and Jersey!

I agree, I like it when I can look at the dogs head and eyes and it tells me where the bird is.

larry

On the pedigree it does not show the age, but the permenant records do. You can request a copy of any NAVHDA dogs test record and it will show all the info on every time it was tested. You can also request Sire and Dam reports which will show the test results for every pup that sire or dam whelped a...

I second the recomendation on a Johny House. Wire and ledge around the top so birds fly up to see out. This gives your birds plenty of exersize, My first quail pen was similar to what LCS shows, I had to let my birds out several times a week and flush them so they would get some excersize, with a jo...

larry

Your pup is now steady to flush and the shot of a blank. Things may change when the bird is shot and falls and the pup wants to run out and pick it up. At that point you usualy have to start putting more pressure on the pup. Take it slow for now and go at your pups pace. As far as FF I usually wait ...
