That brings us right back around to the beginning; it’s all in the development of the dog. Pointers are pointers; they are bred to be the top athletes in the dog world. It takes a special dog to be developed into an AA CH, just as it takes a special dog to be developed into consistent NSTRA Champio...

Better to chase em than trip over em

I like your dog Pepper. You can tell she has Fiddler and Go Boy blood in her and willing to bet she handles well.

I apologize about that last edited post. I get a bit hot headed sometimes. I deal all day with convicts running their mouths and breaking up fights between drug dealers and car thieves and just don't feel like listening to it from some fella 1000 miles away. I get on here to learn and to talk about...

Would you rather push a rope also? It purely cant be done. Pulling is the only way to go, That's a great answer if all you know how to do is pull, cause, well, then you pull. Now I've noticed the guys out there that also know not only how to pull, they also know how to push and when to push - it's ...

Rich,

I think most will offer in the $400 range as a fair price.

If it could be managed, 50 tickets for $20 a piece is $1,000.

Maybe one GDF raffle and one at the trial:

That is $2k for 2 collars.

Think about it...........

You might say she has some crank 8) I'm a little embarrassed by this photo because of her tail. She generally points with a nice straight tail. She just went through a while at just over a year old where it looked like that. I need to get some updated pics. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3136/30613...

Chasin' Mearns

I like your thoughts CM. You are right, I don't know the dog in the photo. Obviously there's some Miller in there. Put some run in to the style and nose that the Fiddler stuff brings. 8) I don't know the exact story, but I'm told that they gave Gigolo a go in some horseback trials. That he was/is b...

I would like to see Ross' Jack win, but I sure would be happy for that Team.

Kind of along the lines of "power to the little guys" mentioned in the previous posts.

The pics of Ace in the Field and on their site are nice.

Lookin' good CM. 8) I think Gigolo is more impressive looking than Ben. Many things to consider on Sires and their selection, but he sure is a good looking dog. I also think if you study enough peds you will see Joe Shadow in dogs that you like. This may be your thread but I am pretty sure I will t...

Here you go Rob.......

A pic of Ben for the folks on here.

Chasin' Mearns

Rob, Hello from AZ. I have a bitch that is out of Ben. Registered name is Caladen's All Business. Many on the boards have seen her and know her as Patch. Don't feel the need too type and brag on here here, but she is special. She is in my avatar as a pup. Here she is in Montana: http://i192.photobuc...

The first season belongs to them to learn from the birds.

Thanks, Chip William - Larkin - Moore is a fine gun store in Scottsdale AZ. They sell some vintage and British with 2.5" chambers. They put a lot of time ...

Chasin' Mearns

Chip,

I used them on PHEZ in Kansas and Colorado.

Lots of horsepower - solid patterns - dead birds.

Try a box, put them on paper and see........

Now I use something much - much smaller, but do not want this thread to be hi jacked or morph into a big boomer for PHEZ thread.

Ahh I remember Patchy!! LOL Ross and I were talking last week about pointers. I actually was asking if he might have one for me. Oh My what am I thinking!!!! :0 You can have a pair of token EPs and still be loyal to the grey ghost. Tell your friend in SC that you want to come over to the "Dark Side...

Chasin' Mearns

Could not agree more. The Dam of my Patch pup in the pic above is a daughter of Go Boy. I have seen a couple of Go Boy and Miller crosses as of late that were very - very nice. Most convey that there is a lot of "biddability" from the dogs he has produced. CM CM, do you have a pup from Ross? I've s...

Chasin' Mearns

I was wondering if anyone on this board has owned a dog or seen a dog run that was sired by rail dancer. I know he was known for is perpotency, was just wondering what impressed you or didn't impress you about the dogs you've seen. thanks in advance Why don't you just call Ross and ask him about th...

Now that's kinda funny. I've just bred my favorite Miller female to a Go Boy stud and I do mean stud. Both of these dogs perform at a very high level.

Ron

Post pics of the Sire and Dam.

All the previous bloodines mentioned are great but I would like to add to that. For foot hunting, I have found that the Crow's Little Joe line and Addition's Go Boy line are hard to beat. JMO.

When you ask for opinions on lines in any breed to a genral audience, I think you are likely to get a popularity contest in answers. I won't mention dogs that I wouldn't use because I don't want to offend anyone, but I will tell you what I think a nice cross could be. I would look for a female out ...

Thanks Steve, I would like to find a used SxS, did you get that used or new? I'm looking at a couple of used O/U. Preferably a 20 ga. Thanks, Chip Used...... Estate sale.

Light weight and a nice swing.

I think you should get yourself a short tailed dog.

Don't run them over.

One is not a hardened dog man until you have been over the handle bars as 2 EPs pull you along on a mountain bike.

Chasin' Mearns

I have been roading mine (for 4 months now) from a mountain bike. I like that better than an ATV.

Built my own fixtures and rigging. Harness came from LCS.

Camera is in the shop or I would post pics. Know that I will as it is a slick set up.

Did Ross ever figure up the total wins earned for the Kennel / Plantation this season? Ask him, as it should be a pretty solid number.

Chasin' Mearns

I think making generalities about any blood from any breed is tough to do and normally causes drama on the boards. What is Elhew today? What is any line today vs. 20 years ago? The best PROs can read the dog, and break from there. Some will nock a pure Elhew bred dog today. Some will blast a Ford to...

I think their collars should be made of a "dura-lon" like material vs. the current woven nylon. I don't mind those collars. A little clunky but they seem darn solid and secure. An orange color option would be nice in case it ever did fall off - make it easier to spot on the ground or in the brush i...

Hard to really know what you have there, but for that $$$, and a gun that fit me, I would be posting pics of my new Rizzini.

Trainers can't make beautiful dogs (as you have there) but they sure can nuture instinct, and in your case with a puppy program, give them the start of their foundation.

This one is used (gently I might add... not a scratch on it). It is a 20 ga., and is very light. Fits great and comes with 5 choke tubes (I believe it was skt, skt, ic, mod, full) and a hard case for $1400 canadian. I think it is a good deal, and from what you are saying, a good solid gun.

The FAIR guns are I Rizzini. All of the Rizzinis are Italian manufacturers. Most of these guns in the US are imported under other names. For instance, several of the Verona series were FAIR made guns. These were considered to be excellent values. The Savage Milano is also made by FAIR. I have one o...
