Shume, Tony Sallee (listed on the sire side of the litter) is a real stand up guy. He breeds some nice litters with some of Danny Woody's dogs. I was on the list to get a pup from Tony but the female (one of Danny Woody's) never came in so I ended up finding other litters. I would contact Tony and a...

Loss of access to properties due to the leasing of grounds to those with money to spare... To me, this has led to the ruination of hunting as a the sport.

I ended up buying the 700cc Arctic Cat Prowler with a Flat Bed. I am not limited to a width of box I can use. I can strap (3) 600 series varikennels side X side across the back and 2 high to haul 6 dogs if I need to. It also works for hauling fence posts etc. It was a tough choice between the Ranger...

Last time I checked, 4-wheelers are not legal per state law. The side by side (Polaris Ranger, etc) are legal on all but City, State, and Interstate roads unless approved by the governing body. As I recall they must have seating for two people sitting next to each other and must have a bed of some s...

If you're considering carpet, I suggest you look on e-bay for a Bedrug liner. The material will stand up to gas spills etc. and it is padded which is nice on the knees. I bought mine for $74.00 from an online store as I recall.

To me, style relating to the manner with which the dog covers the ground is more important than style on point. I'm not saying that style on point isn't nice also but if watching them run brings a smile to your face then you have something special in my opinion.

Your pup looks very nice to me too.

I think 14-16 all around. Maybe 17-18 highway. The 6 cylinder and the V-8 in those years got virtually the same MPG.

I have seen several boxes from here. They look pretty good for the price. You order kits and assemble them yourself.

Common sense is all you need. Don't try to exceed the limitations of your vehicle and you will be fine.

Food and water bowls. Bed or Kennel. Lots of items approved for chewing. Collar and leash.

I have no expectations cause he is young, but when will it all click for him.

One opinion:
Your expectations are as they should be for the first season. It will "click" in bits and pieces until he is laid to rest. Be observant and enjoy the clicks...

I have seen several Llewellins that were Chestnut tri-colored. Don't know if it's common in E. setters.

While we're airing our wish lists for others posting ads - I would like someone to post a real nice 4-6 dog trailer for oh let's say $700.00.

My experience with the type of woven wire horse fence is that it needs to be stretched fairly tight to work right. If not it will be difficult to get it straight or at least where it looks pretty straight. You need to have good. solid corner/anchor posts to pull it to. Get yourself a good set of cut...

What a great word "Encouragement" is. In most instances coming up with the proper mode to fit your situation is the key... Be creative.

So loading into the crate in the truck means I'm either going to have to work on things I don't particularly enjoy or stay in here while you go walk around the field with birds. Given those outcomes I would resist also. I always make sure I take the pups to do something fun when I first start crate ...

I have been doing the 180 for over a week. She stops fine but ever other dog I have had after a week or so will start to slow down or has to be drag past the post not her she doesn't care she will just keep going till the rope stops her It sounds to me like she is not ready for the 180's.

I want the dog (or employee for that matter) that is willing to risk everything in an effort to excel. If your not going to go all out I fail to see the point. It's not about winning or losing it is about doing something better than you've ever done it before. Anyone who participates just to win is ...

Bill, I picked her up a week or two ago. We had a wind storm come through and took the roof of my barn off so I've been busy cleaning up and haven't got any pictures yet. She is pretty plain. Small, white, black nose and dark eyes with no definable markings. I think she may have the most potential o...

I think I'm going to have to dress my pups in some Brown Bag "Unknown Comic" costumes after seeing those pups. I can't believe the similarity in the body markings of the two standing. Beautiful pups...

Kevin, I'm eyeballing the week before the 4th of July for a road trip. I'm having an 8 hole topper built by BIttercreek in OKC and it should be ready for me to pick up by then.

Hey Wingman, Jim doesn't know it yet but puppy summer camp is likely to start next week, at least for my pup(s).

I have used dog boxes for years and recently installed a topper (used) and built storage box in bed. I am currently using Vari-kennel type plastic boxes but intend to buy a trailer when I can afford it. The nice thing about a topper is that you can carry a bed full of cargo which is protected from t...

This is Tumbleweed's Doc Holiday "Doc". He is a Lewellin Setter 13 weeks old.

Here, where it's very dry most of the warm months, rain usually brings some better scenting conditions and cooler air. I enjoy working dogs in light rain or drizzle for those reasons. I do draw the line at lightning though.

Charles, I was down at Ronnie Smith's last summer with a friend who whose dog was in training. The day we were there they were releasing a bunch of young birds from a surrogator. From what I could tell the birds looked very healthy. He could probably give you a good assessment. Here's an e-mail addr...

Pheasant hunting in western Kansas. Late afternoon. I was tired from walking the fields all day so I took a turn as blocker for my dad and a couple of hunting buddies.

My take is slightly different (and probably not PC) but I think the logic behind people buying more guns has two components that have little to do with gun control. Guns will hold or increase in value while other investments are shaky at best, and the more guns and ammo you have the better you can p...

What is your favorite hat for extreme cold and windy conditions?

I recommend a life jacket for your dog. Not because they can't swim but because it gives you something to grab so you can drag them back into the boat. All of my dogs have to go over the sides. They just can't resist the attraction of all that water...

Kmack

Boy, that's a tough one for sure... I've owned both and based on your information I'd call it a toss up. Both make excellent house dogs and I don't see much differenc there. I found the V to be a better natural Pheasant dog and the GSP to be a better quail dog. The differences are very small (IE the...

One thing you might consider is the potential to upgrade transmitters down the road. I know the EXP receivers used on the TT Sport Basic G3 will work with many of the higher end TT transmitters (I'm sure there is similar compatibility with other brands/models I'm just not familiar with them). If you...
