1996 Chevy Tahoe. I love this vehicle. Big and full of space. I have two dog crates in the back and usually hunt three dogs. I like the fact that the dogs are inside the cab so they can get air conditioning or heat depending on the time of the season. I put some carpeting down over the tailgate so b...

Today was the Iowa pheasant hunting opener . Harvest is running about 10 days behind schedule and many places still have standing corn. We had some decent luck hunting this morning. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171029/1daed9905c9788c60c4c3ccdecb2b073.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk http...

I have German shorthair pointer's and live in Iowa, where normal Iowa winter temps can arrange to below zero to the 20s. I am currently down to one dog which I worry about her getting cold but she is in a double insulated doghouse and has an entryway that goes back to her den area which blocks the w...

The female is 5 years old. She does flag pidgeons also. It is not a running pheasant thing. I have seen her hold very staunch with her tail right on top of a bird and then the next bird she flags. I'm more cognizant of shutting my mouth and not talking when she is locked. Don't think I need to resor...

I have a 5 year old entact female gsp. She has developed sores on the top of her front two feet, at the base of her toes. When I hunt her they bleed from running through the switch grass and it seems to be a constant problem over the first 3-4 weeks of the season. She has never had this problem befo...

I have a gsp female who consistantly "flags", wags her tail back and forth in the pointing postion (11:00 o'clock) when she is on wild pheasants. Occasionaly, she will lock hard and tight and not move her tail at all. She does not break point while she is flagging and I know if I trialed her this wo...

Hollywood, it looks like that dog may have alot of dixieland breeding in it's pedigree. He looks very much like a dixieland bred dog that I once had. Where did you get him????

Crop has been out in most of the area where I live for several weeks. Many farmers almost done with their fall tillage. This is one of the earliest harvests I can remember. The problem that I have run into this year is the dry scenting conditions. We have not had rain for ever. Lots of dust!!! It so...

Chip,



The artsy thing is a little over the top for me. I could get beat up for taking a picture like that from where I am from.

I do like the way those two hounds look!! What kind of pedigree is behind Digger?

Iowa does not have walk in areas on private land. We do have quite a bit of public hunting and lots of private ground if you can run down the owner. To truly have a successful hunt a guy needs to commit to an area and return each year. There are several groups that come to our town from as far away ...

Chip, Sounds like you had one of those trips to remember for all the wrong reasons. I got out Sunday with four other friends in the quiet state of Iowa. Started about 8:30 a.m. and finished with our limit at about 2:00 p.m. Lot of good dog work and had to walk and sweat to get our birds. The walk an...

This post comes to many of you with outside temeratures below zero and for those of you not experiences these temps, I wish I was where you are!! What do you do to protect your dog from frigid temps. I'm feeling a little guilty this morning writing this as I am toasty warm in front of my computer an...

It was the two 6 month old littermates that are fighting.

I also want to note that I have a 44 y.o. non neutered male sleeping with a 40 y.o. female. There is some growling once in a while but never any problem with any breeding going on.

NE Vizsla, I love a guy that can think outside the box. LOL

I currently have 6 GSPs and 4 kennel runs. The problem I'm starting to be concened about is which dogs should I put together and which should I seperate. None of the dogs are what I would call fighters but I have broken up 2 fights in the last 3 months between a male/female littermates. This is what...

I bred to Cooper last summer with a Dunfurs Charlie Bailey-Gates bitch. He is a beautiful dog. This breeding had Hoosier Buddy at the grandfather position on the sire's side and at the great grandfather slot on the dams side. I have a male and female that I held back for myself. My two pups are off ...

I read recently on another board that you just have kind of gotten lucky with everyone elses hard work of breeding. I use to own a dog out of FC Dixieland's Luke and Moesgaards Lady Jackie. I noticed that a full blood sister was in Spot's pedigree. I'm not sure if my dog was a littermate to this dog...

I always find this a little bit funny but , I'm sure if you have a dog with this problem it is not funny at all especially if you like to give your dog kisses. You have to admit a product that makes "poop" taste bad is funny. I think poop would taste bad on it's own. There is a comedian that does a ...
