I assume that netting is trapping.

Shawn, Shawn, Shawn you listening to Dan again?

The Britt sure has grown.

Whoever the friend might be I'd be curious to know the code that they put down as the violation.

It was a good trip to South Dakota. We got schooled by the roosters but when you are out numbered 500:1 it hurts even more. All in all a great trip and great experience for the dogs. The best part was Abby put the young pup in his place. I think even Mary would agree to that.

Awesome video Denise! Very scary situation with the snare, sounds like Roxi handled it as best as can be hoped for.

That is him smiling.

Here is a short video I made of the rig I made up last summer. No horses or ATV but did have access to a free golf cart so took advantage of that. I was still adjusting the length from the tubing to the harness and have trimmed things up since. Dog absolutely loves it. :mrgreen: http://www.youtube.c...

There are two sides too every story. Here is how it really went down. We arrived for the hunt Saturday morning and while my boy was ready to hit the field and do what he does best, the Munsters were already at their peak for the day. :P http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv192/GerenVE/IMG_0475.jpg A...

Road side count showed an expect harvest 150,000-200,000 birds. Compare that to (correct me if I'm wrong) SD was about 1.7 million last year. If you look at the small game map for pheasant I's say 95% of the state is rated as poor and there is NO excellent rankings in the state. Even read Iowa game ...

Is that a Small Munserlander pointing in the last pic?



Mahamari

Small Munsterlander fits the bill too. Great in the house and with family. Mine is 19 inches tall but thinks she is a big dog. Hunts hard and is very cooperative and hunts ducks and has retrieved geese for us. Munster, You have peaked my interest into these Small Munsterlander. A 19" dog that retri...

What, no photography credit for my shot of the "stale quail"? I'll have you know I got a C+ in photography class in 9th grade. Really I should have charged you for that pic! :mrgreen: Don't worry about socializing Max, any 12 week old that you have to hold back from investigating a horse isn't too s...

I wouldn't be to concerned about hat first intro to the water. If you recall, Geren had the same experience chasing Abby and then the ground dropped out from under him and he was under water. 10 minutes later and a little encouragement and here he is http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv192/GerenVE/...

Love that second pic!!


Looks like he's a bold little pup.

This is the 2nd time we've helped at a regional SM hunt weekend and everyone is sooo nice, the dog quality is excellent, and I'm still drooling over the meals we ate. It was great hunting with you, Danton, and Abby. Abby's a snappy little girl with a terrific nose, and her field manners reflect som...

That wasw helpful. I liked Arrow. I am a bowhunter. :) I am going to keep the names and see what happens when he gets here. What kind of personality he has. I hope he is naughty! :twisted: Careful what you wish for. I vote for Chunk cause he looks like a big boy. For some reason "Reco" has been sti...

I ended up making it down on Saturday. We didn't hit any of the seminars but made it past every booth. Lots of interesting stuff ad even bumped in to a few people I know. Only spent about 3 hours there but it was worth the trip.

Curious why any maintenance is necessary? I only wonder because my Drahthaar has buildup of snow in his paws when we go out and it doesn't seem to bother him a bit (though if I cut off one paw I'm not not sure he''d show that it bothered him). Is there problems that can occur with this buildup?

Going for the first time on Saturday. Shame to admit it but Ive never been to one and it's only 1.5 hours from me. Looks like it should be a good time. Looking forward to a couple of seminars and talking to some vendors and breed clubs!

Really no decision to make here. The moment they cross the property line do what needs done. Not your fault, not even the dogs fault, absolutely on the owner 100%.

I've been toying with the idea of upgrading my current dog transport system (plastic Pet Porter, or back seat of the truck). Looking at doing some traveling for tests, and some out of state hunting trips, so I think a good box would be the way to go. So, my question is,, what is everyone's thoughts ...

"OH MY GOD"

Great point, great commentary. nice video. Sure is a good looking pup.

Mahamari

A big congrats. I heard through the grapevine :wink: that your pup did terrific. :mrgreen: Thanks, it was a real good weekend. Really enjoyed it. I'm guessing come spring I'll be seeing Brandi running her NA too! Congratulations!! Can we see more pics of that beautiful pup, please?? You want me to ...

Everything!!!

And as for your post title.... No need to think, you want one! Glad I chose one over a lab!

Well we are creeping up on 18 weeks now and things are progressing nicely (IMO). This is Geren Vom Entenmoore my DD. This is my first non-lab hunting dog and it's been an experience. Actually the last couple of weeks he's really been turning the corner and I've been seeing marked improvements in beh...

My 11 Week old DD has an annoying habit of biting at my hands and forearms when he wants attention (my guess as to his thinking), or when we are playing. I've tried curling his lips under his teeth, sticking my fingers down his throat when he does it, and putting him in his kennel when he does it (i...

I should have mentioned that I did put the collar on him Monday as I found 2 ticks on him (and one on me), and again one more today on him.

Thanks,
Chad

Hello all, I picked up an 8 week old Drathaar on Saturday and took him to the vet on Monday just to get started. One question that I have is the vet advised a Virbac Preventic Tick Collar since I told him I'd be out with the pup in tick populated areas. He said after a month I can use the topical th...

Just a quick note to say "thanks" to everyone who has replied on this thread and in the many PM's I've received. I've read them all but replied too few. I've been battling the flu for the last few days so I haven't been on top of my internet correspondence. I have received far more suggestions than ...

Thanks to everyone for your replies. It sounds as if I need to get in contact with vom Wildflügel Kennels and a few others as well. Geographic location is certainly not my number 1 priority with choosing where a dog comes from but it would be nice to see the parents in the field ahead of time if pos...

I'd like to start by saying "Hello" from a new member. I have been using this site for research for some time now and decided its time to join up. A little about me I suppose before I get to the question. I hunt upland birds, waterfowl, archery hunt for deer, and hunt coyotes in between. Typically I...
