Don't know how those in the second series did in the first but I like that Blue dog Waide runs.

Way to go Ronnie

Crestonegsp

That Ronnie he's a good guy but I thought he got out of the FT game.

Crestonegsp

I always liked 2 the best it has better edges and flows better. 3 is the hard luck course and hard to win on. I am sure 1 still has the barking dog at the house.

Crestonegsp

Good Luck to all entered and/or going. May all 3 courses stay dry

Crestonegsp

I agree and maybe they should go back to the good old days when there was an AKC trial on each end with Region 12 sandwiched in the middle. The AKC trials used to be 150 to 200+ dogs and Region 12 ran every stake. The old format used to attract 5 or more pros and this year Region 12 had 1 pro. It us...

I heard they did not run the ASD or AA due to the fact they did not have enough entries to make a championship. They ran the OSD only and I have no idea what the results were.

I'll be pulling for Linda Sue Swart since two of the three dogs she is running are litter mates to my Virgil.

Buckshot 1, The NGSPA is a separate nomination and I believe for pups born between November 1 and October 31 two years before the running. This year’s Futurity would be for pups born between November 1, 2010 and October 31, 2011. The litter must be nominated with a fee within 45 days of whelp by the...

Why is it when AA talk starts it goes range and how big they run? An AA dog is much more than just how big they run, it's more about how they got to where they are then where they are. The best line to discribe AA dog is - "An AA dog is like pornography, it’s hard to explain but you know it when you...

The 2012 NGSPA Chukar Championship will be held in the White Mountains of Arizona. The ASD will start on August 27 with the OSD to follow. The trial will be held at the Pole Knoll grounds off of road 112. The Desert German Shorthaired Pointer Club will hold a trial starting August 23 and the Sahuaro...

Stoneface, she is finishing holsters so here is a picture of one -

Crestonegsp

Here one of the holsters my wife is making for a pro with his logo on it and a tracker holster. She makes custom starter pistol holsters. She carves pictures of dogs and other items in the fronts of the holsters.

TIm Hammonds in Berea, Ky has some nice Red Setters. Until I lived in Kentucky I never saw many Red Setters but I would see them every AF trial there. He has some nice dogs that he wins with in AF trials.

Form follows function and to finish the GSP standard I think it says "a slight arch over the loin" Do you know where these standards came from? Horse standards is the root and start of dog standards, they took horse standards and changed them to fit the breed of dog they were writting the standard. ...

Crestonegsp

Dan or Rj are great trainers but what are you looking to get done with such a young pup at a trainer that you can not do yourself? I have always been of the mind set that you let a puppy be a puppy. What is the big hurry?

Crestonegsp

Holy cow, he is just a puppy. I am wondering about a response from a trainer who says "my dog was not pointing all that well and would try to rip the birds out"? This is a good trainer? He is a puppy and that is what a puppies do. Not all 1 year old dogs are ready to be sent to a trainer, some need ...

Crestonegsp

When you run in that part of the country it is different than a lot of people are use to running in, that may be part of the issue. The other is quail are not released each morning by some yahoo that has no idea what they are doing, they are released and well before the season starts and act somewha...

Fuzzy who is just outside Albuquerque has Chukar most all the time and good prices and will work with yo on delivery - 505-384-5163

Crestonegsp

Buy a pup from the best bred litter you can find and pray.

Crestonegsp

Booneville has a lot of tought turns no matter if all three courses are open or you have to use only part af a couple.

Good Luck to all entered this year and don't let your dog fool you at muskrat corner.

I have a Dixielands Smokin Fredom daughter that is lucky to be 35 pounds on a fat day. She looks like she could be blown over by a strong wind. I dropped her on the line a trial and the Pro with her brace mate looked at her and said "she dosn't have enough power to hang with my dog", she smoked his ...

Congrats to the winners, Keith & Bobbi Richardson for Breaker in the SD and Harvey with Breezy in the ASD, both nice SDs.

Good Luck to the AA hoping you get it done in time.

Crestonegsp

The range depends on the quail. Are you hunting Mearns, Gambles or Scaled? For Mearns I use a shorter ranged dog, Gambles medium range and Scaled I us a dog runs bigger. Oh you have to love Cholla, it jumps out and grabs ya.

Crestonegsp

Bigsugar, after spending the last two years in KY and the only horseback trails are AF that is what we did. We ran against Pointers, ES and depending if it was Central or Western KY we saw a few Red Setters. I had the only GPSs. I was never blown away by any of the Pointers or Setters to the point w...

Yet another example of how Bernie who owns the game so he can make the rules as he sees fit

Crestonegsp

It is not a big problem with the draw the night before the start of the stake. When I would go I would just call Jean and ask here how many were entered do the math and know when to take days off. The only difference now is you need to call Aldrich and ask him how many are entered in each stake.

Crestonegsp

We feed Purina Pro Plan, good food and the GSP on the Performance bag is a show dog we bred, CH Crestone Armed And Dangerous. The real reason is the Pro we use feeds it and it is easy when dogs come home and go back. Purina also supports FTs and you can get money back for Vet visits.

Sant said he was changing to GSPs for his sled

Crestonegsp

Too much dog? Not a chance. Someone much smarter than me said you can take the run out of a dog but you sure can't put it in them. You need to start with the best dog you can find and train it to suit what you use it for. If they run circles around you feet they will never be the bird finding machin...

Kip – Our first GSP out of a Big Oaks Bumper x Dee Dees Jackson son, what a way to start. We have added over the years Wendy, Bink, Dylan, Tommy, Twister, Tuki, Keely, Tip, Johnny, Daisy, Winter, Roz, Bunny(EP), Virgil, BB, Rider and Leno

[quote="Crestonegsp" The point is if you want a DK/NAVHDA GSP that is fine with me but I want and American GSP because it suits what I do. I do not look down at DK/NAVHDA dogs they serve their purpose just not for me. The American GSP has evolved into a great dog and in looking back at the history ...

Crestonegsp

gpblitz you seem to have an issue with the GSP as it is America today. The American GSP is an accomplished field dog and different breeds were used to develop it but the fact that you miss is there are plenty of lines of GSPs in America that are GSPs and no other breed. The whole black thing makes n...

Crestonegsp

I am not sure if you understand the GSPs in America and not all have Pointer somewhere behind them and to make such a statement is very misleading. Have a few people tried to breed something into certain lines to get what they believe is an advantage, sure and those of us who look stay away from tho...

Crestonegsp

The parent club (GSPCA)tells the AKC what the standard is and if you are a member of the parent club you are bound by their rules. The AKC only enforces the rules given to them they don't make up the breed standards. I would not breed a bad bite, black or any fault. I always thought the reason to br...

Crestonegsp

When you say 'jacked bite" what do you mean? Overshot, undershot? Or something else?

Crestonegsp

Art,

Wish we were still in KY so we could attend. Have a great time.

Lithgow used to have a lot of pictures and information on his web page http://www.waycoolkennels.com but it has not been updated since he got out of GSPs

Congratulations to the winners and especially to my boy Vigil’s littermate PVR’s Rugerheims Smokin Hellin

Crestonegsp

I was told they ran brace 40 for the last one of the day yesterday and will finish sometime Friday.

Crestonegsp

If he has shot over the dog every time he is in the field my first question is who shoots every bird for a dog? Second if he is only going to carry it and not shoulder why does he need it at all? I would not let him carry it but because there is no need in a JR Hunter, they do not need to be steady ...

Crestonegsp

Got to love nationals. One year a dog of mine ran 100 yards off the line, stopped for a wild flush while the other dog kept moving. The other handled flies off his horse yelling and starts shooting, who knows why. A step later we were headed back to camp, oh well. A little luck always helps.

In past years the AGD takes about 5 days, Futurity 2 to 3 days, AA 4 days and OGD a week, pros start scratching and picking up dogs toward the end so OGD may go faster. All depends on the number of entries but this how it has progressed in past years. After the AGD the place clears out and the trial...

Crestonegsp

Ok this drives me crazy, just because a dog runs up over the hill out of sight it is not an AA dog, that is a run off and all too often the two are confused. Where is it in any standard that says range defines an AA dog? Where the dog is, is one thing but how did they get there is another. All too o...

Crestonegsp

Congrats too the winners. It's good to see Chase win, who says nice guys never win.

Crestonegsp

Sounds like he needs to learn simple commands heel, here, whoa. You can not use an e-collar on a dog that does not know the commands . Start with a short lead and work on the three basic commands heel, here and whoa and move to a checkcord until he is reliable. He is 8 months old and just a kid, giv...
