Really like the pics, thanks.

My season is over.

x2 with the emissions. My brother-in-law almost lost his 2 setters this fall due to CO poisoning. He had the crate on the back of the ATV with a cover over it to keep the dogs dry and out of the wind, it almost killed them. The same thing that blocked the wind kept fresh air out. The male pup let ou...

Weather has flip flopped across the Atlantic. Was 11C/52F yesterday and no snow forecasted for awhile, long range says nothing for 2 weeks.:o We are having your weather. A lot of guys with new snowmobiles are PO'd with the warm temps. Meant to ask a few diggers there how the hunting was, get to be h...

Stags hunt by sight, think greyhound crossed with wolfhound.

I'll let them contact you and get the details.

Ok if people use staghounds or running hounds?

Can I cross post this on another forum that deals with predators?

I'm starting to see some advantages to that type of coat for northern hunters I would try and market that if I were you. Many people suggest a wirehaired dog for late season work but they collect iceballs. A nice thick coated GSP would do well in the latter part of the season. This dog has a beauti...

That sucks about the ankle. Busted my hand when I was 17 and it would be in a cast for the opening of duck and grouse hunting. Took a grinding bit on my dads drill to open it up enough to hold a shotgun. Can't do anything like that for your ankle though.

BdBHunts

Could you bring the lurcher along for the fox?

BdBHunts

I dont think my style of hunting suits everyone on this site, but never mind i enjoy it and as long as i am working my dogs i am happy I for one enjoy it. Not much of that type of hunting where I now reside as it is either very thick or wide open, which holds only ptarmigan, but where I used to liv...

BdBHunts

Nice pictures. I assume you are shooting as there is no pics of lurchers. The rabbits here are in the thick stuff, not much smooth, open ground for whippets or lurchers, and most people snare them. In the eastern part of the province running beagles is popular, around here some guys drive along the ...

BdBHunts

Funny you should metion this topic. One of my pups had an incident yesterday and I posted this on another board. My wife called me at work to say that one of the dog's lips was swelling. She had put the pup outside and when she went to get the shovel to clean up after him his lips had started to swe...

BdBHunts

Don't know if you are asking me but I will answer anyway.

He is 3 in the pic. If I had a grey bitch around I would look to get lurcher pup from him.

The willow ptarmigan and red grouse are the same bird, different subspecies.

Hoping our numbers come back up. Do they cycle like ruffies?

My guy with some and a couple teal that were still hanging around.

I am on the opposite side of the continent from you.

BdBHunts

He was telling me how cute they were and I looked at him and told him that they would be cuter hanging out ofAbby and Max's mouth!

My sentiments exactly.

Looking for some dens for my terrier to get him some work.

BdBHunts

I had a dog shipped to me by NWA from Iowa to Ontario for breeding, no problems there and back. Had a pup shipped from Tucson to Ontario, same airline, delay in Dallas but the pup was fine. Shipped two pups together to LAX from the extreme opposite side of the continent, Newfoundland, for $250 with ...

PM me your contact info.

Where are you hauling to? I can check with some hound guys.

BdBHunts

If I horse around with the kids my male and female Bourbonnais get upset. They whine, bark and try to get between me and the kids. If someone came in the house and tried anything I am pretty sure that the dogs would be "in their face". I have hunted over GSPs that friends bred. Some dogs handle the ...

Thanks for the responses.

sjkennels that Bee is a nice looking dog. What is her ped and where is she from? PM me if you wish.

Looking at a 1999 F 250 4x4 Super Duty with the 7.3L diesel motor. The price seems to be pretty good for what is being offered, 256,000 miles and some body work needed. Rearend replaced 18 months ago, front end has been done as well along with 2 new batteries Not too worried about the paint when dri...

BdBHunts

3/8ths Border but looks like what the standard calls for even though the mother was a short legged smooth coated JRT.

BdBHunts

Lets just say that there are not likely to be cripples returned to me by the terrier.

BdBHunts

Nice work and handy looking dog. I will really try my JRTxBorder this year on rabbits, shot one over him last year while out for a walk in the woods and he retrieved it. He dug down through over a foot of snow to find what was left of one caught in a snare. http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o2/bdbh...

BdBHunts

I think it may make a nice rug in a few months time when the pelt thickens up.

BdBHunts

Just keep poking the "hernia" back in and it probably will stay after a while. As was stated previously it may not be a complete closure, should work by just pushing it back in. Try that and see before getting surgery.

BdBHunts

Nice dogs. Those lurchers look to be well muscled and in shape. I like the look of that dog in the second picture, some leg under him. A couple Borders I see as well. What is the Chesnut and Tan dog? A spaniel cross?

On that day 8 years ago the world changed. It has been different since. On that day the town where I work opened its doors to thousands of stranded passengers after the fateful events in New York City and the Pentagon. A small sleepy town of 9500 people was inundated with almost 6600 bewildered and ...

BdBHunts

Is it a bull x or bedlington x?

BdBHunts

Do you use the lamp and lurchers?

BdBHunts

Do you have a terrier for fox?

BdBHunts

I didn't think they were foxhounds but Harriers. Nice to hear the hounds. I have hunted behind Beagles here, smaller dogs, and Walker Foxhounds.

BdBHunts

DO NOT store that in a closed container. The pressure will build up from the chemical reaction. You cannot premix it and hope to use it, somebody would have already done so and marketed it if possible. Carry the seperate ingredients and mix when needed. You have about 10 minutes from the time you ad...

BdBHunts

Are those English Foxhounds? The hunt where I got my terrier had English and a few Welsh too, 63 hounds in total along with a lurcher, a couple Borders and JRT. Some big hounds though with a lot of whiter dogs.

BdBHunts

I have never seen them before, how do you like them, do you hunt them much. I like them, the temperament is calm in the home but turn it on outdoors. They are what you may call a "softer" dog, harsh methods don't work well but they really are not needed with any breed, but that is not to say they c...

BdBHunts

Braque du Bourbonnais pups that I bred. Mom is a white with very little ticking but dad is heavy ticked. My female looks and acts a lot like my brother-in-law's female setter other than the tail length and feathering. Mom at 5 months http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o2/bdbhunts/th_AliceaandRose-1....

Here are some pictures from 2 weeks ago, when they were 10 weeks old, behind the house on our beach. One training partner in the background, she is the keeper of the dogs and the official namer. :) http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o2/bdbhunts/th_DSC028871a.jpg I was trying to ease them in but my o...

Also I wouldn't mind trying a Bourbanai or a Munsterlander in the future if the opportunity presents itself.

Opportunity presented to you if you wish.

BdBHunts

if any of you TRULY knew what went into a dog fight you would know that there CAN'T be any human aggression in the dogs. About half a dozen people in close proximity, strangers hands on the dogs, so you can't be aggressive towards people. A dog that was distracted by going after humans would give t...

Pit introduced to pats for size? never heard that one, every pit x pat cross I ever heard was to add mouth and hardness, people who work terriers they way they ought to be worked dont want more size. If you hunt ground game then a small flexible dog is needed, but if it is coons in barns, brushpile...

BdBHunts

You may cross a collie lurcher with a bull/grey or terrier/grey to get certain attributes. Some people crossbred to get things that they want in a dog, look at hog dogs and some crosses there.

BdBHunts

I was wrong on 17, it is a Patterdale but a bully looking one at that, not the old type. Some bull blood is introduced at times for size.

BdBHunts

16, and 17 is a Staffi I believe.

My daughter snapped this on the way home from the vet.

My old kennel was a wooden frame, 2x4 and 4x4 pieces, with steel roofing along the bottom and chainlink stretched on top. Fence was attached at one end and stretched to find the length, then piece of fence was unwound to get the proper length and re-stretched and attached to the 4x4 at the end. The ...

BdBHunts

There is another French breed as well, Braque du Bourbonnais. They work with you, close if need be and will range out too. I know that they can handle the heat as they hunt in AZ and CA. They are not afraid of the thick stuff and love to retrieve as well.

BdBHunts

My two Bourbonnais.

The pups were born Wednesday. The first pup, a nice marked male, didn't make it but I have 8 wiggly, healthy, "robust" as the vet put it, pups 5 males and 3 females, smallest just under 10oz and the heaviest 12.5oz. They came at different intervals, hours between some and minutes between others. No ...

I know my GSP wouldn't hang with a lab when hunting geese in icy cold conditions This old guy could hang with them in his prime, my buddy has shot a lot of ducks and geese for his old boy through the years. http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o2/bdbhunts/th_PetesPictures119.jpg http://i116.photobuck...
