Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment.

Is Emma out of the last Lady/Rev litter?

I have a male out of the last Lady/Rev litter and I've been very impressed with his natural abilities. We are training for a fall UT test right now.

Again, Congrats!

That looks like a nice formula with no fillers. Good price. That company also make lots of human foods so they probably have good quality control standards. My dogs are doing well on it. Nice coats, firm/compact stool, and they maintain well on it without having to eat a ton. My 7 year old female (...

This looks like a very useful tool. Thanks for taking the time to put it together and share.

After many suggestions, I really appreciated them by the way, I had decided on Dankar Kennels. Someone PM'ed me about them and I checked them out. Talked to Kara on the phone and I decided at the end of the phone call they were my kennel to choose. Thanks everyone for the help! Great choice. I met ...

I'm feeding my pup about 4.5cups a day morning and night of puppy formula pro plan for large breeds. I was originally feeding him blue buffalo (or bison? can't remember) and it gave him the trots so I switched and his stools firmed right up. I increased his intake for about two weeks to about 5.5 c...

MNGSP

Thanks for the information everyone. I will make a few phone calls and see what kind of products I can find. It sounds like a bit of patience is in order as well until the odor wears off. Just an FYI, but Mendota Dura Soft collars repel moisture and odor... You wouldn't be de-skunking your collar ri...

MNGSP

Good Morning, So I was hunting some public land in SW MN last weekend when I got a nice surprise. We had just pushed a long field of prairie grass to a swamp edge hoping to get the birds to hold up in the cattails along the swamp for my 8 month old pup, Flynt. I pushed through some willows that were...

MNGSP

I didn't even look at your location when I responded. :oops: Sorry about that. I head down that way around 4-5 times a season. My favorite time is after the firearms deer season is over and there's about a foot of snow on the ground. That's when things get really interesting down there. We should ge...

3 hours West? Wouldn't happen to be the Lac Qui Parle area? Maybe...Maybe Not. :D In all reality, if you drive about 3 hours SW of the Twin Cities you'll be into some good pheasant hunting. It's all about the spot on the spot, if you know what I mean. Look for areas that other hunters avoid, or are...

MNGSP

I've hunted SW MN the last two weekends and have done very well. Don't get too discouraged by the DNR reports. There are definitely less birds, but still plenty of them around. You just need to know where to look. How I approach pheasant hunting in MN... Look at each area you get to and decide which...

MNGSP

JJ-If you don't mind I might be interested in coming your way for the late pheasant hunt..I have a family in-law that lives near you. I was planning on being there this weekend but now I have to wait for my surgery. Sure thing. I'm going out the next two weekends and then I will take a few weeks of...

MNGSP

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention. Flynt did great for a youngster. He learned distance on points pretty quickly after getting a bit too close on a few birds. What didn't help matters was on his third point. I walked in to flush the birds and he jumped about 3 feet in the air and plunged in to the grass...

MNGSP

I got out on Saturday. Could of had our two person limit in about 1/2 hour if I didn't forget how to shoot straight. :) We ended up getting our four birds by the end of the day. We saw over 40 birds, with about 2/3 of those being pointed. Tons of hens out there with a rooster here and there. Not man...

MNGSP

I'm in.

Thanks Doc!

Best of luck to you and Fonz this weekend. From what I've seen of him I think you'll do just fine. Heck, you could have tested him months ago and done well from what I've seen! Think of it as just another walk in the field and you'll do great. Most of all, have fun with it and remember he's still ju...

MNGSP

I think you are on the right track with the live bird thing. If he's good and bird crazy I'd think that would be enough to draw him out. Get him good and excited about that bird and toss it out jsut deep enough that he'd have to swim. Then progress with farther throws as he gets used to it. I think ...

MNGSP

I'll be at Kelly Farms for the Saturday NA test.Would be great to meet some fellow forum members!

MNGSP

onk, You and I are probably from different generations so my advise to you will be from a generation prior to the femization of America. 1st you never ever ask a female for permission to do any thing, your wife is not your mother, as Logan Bennett wrote in his old book, Training Grouse and Woodcock...

MNGSP

Thanks. I think he's a good looking boy too.

I can't wait to start the hunting training; but for now its all about socializing this boy. I plan to see where he can take me in the NAVHDA system as well. Judging by his pedigree I think he will go a long ways.

JJ

MNGSP

I should add that Lynn has 5 pups left. I believe it's 3 females and 2 males.

MNGSP

Good Morning. We picked up Flynt from Lynn Erickson at Herbst Briese's Kennel this past Saturday at 9.5 weeks old. I couldn't be more pleased with the boy at this point. His potty training is going excellent (almost too well if you ask me :) ) and his crate training isn't really training at all. You...

MNGSP

Is it just me or does his head/face look exactly like Hustler?
I can't stop coming back and looking at those pics.

MNGSP

I agree with everyone else. What a stud.
You can see the determination and intelligence in his eyes.

JJ

MNGSP

I like it.
Should carry well in the field too if you need it.

We'll have to get together someday and hunt the pups together. Best of luck with the training and such.

JJ

MNGSP

What's his name?

MNGSP

CONGRATS!!

I can't pick up my boy from Lynn until the 9th of April. I can't wait.
I sure hope he's as calm as yours looks!

JJ

MNGSP

Dog scootering looks like a blast! I think I could get into that!

Which scooter do you have gdog? I noticed some of them have fairly low weight capacities until you get into some of the spendier models.

MNGSP

Glad you chose a pup from Lynn. I'm sure you'll be happy with your decision.

Yes, I had the first pick of the black/white males. Boy those pups got big in the past week! I can't wait to pick mine up!

Congrats!

MNGSP

If you look at VC Tall Oaks Amazin Angel in the pedigree I posted you'll see a similar lineage as your Flash Point dog. Maximillion with Luke a few Gens back. That's what caught my attention. Granted the rest of the Lady/Rev pedigree is all NAVHDA lines. I guess it depends on what you''ll use the do...

MNGSP

Here's the pedigree of the pups gspblitz mentioned earlier. I picked my boy out last weekend. Great looking litter. Should make some nice hunters.

JJ

MNGSP

That is when you get payback on those running roosters.

Could'nt have said that any better myself.
When my pup looks back at me midway through the season as a rooster that ran off on her flushes in the distance, I always tell her "just wait until it snows girl, we'll get the last laugh."

I've been thinking about getting something like this as well. Another one I ran into on the net is the Hatcam. Look it up on google. There are a few pheasant hunting videos on youtube using the hatcam as well.

JJ

MNGSP

I agree with what Ezzy stated. I switched my dog over from Nutri-source earlier this year due to cost. As soon as I put her on the Diamond EA she had horrible gas. I backed her down on her daily portion and the gas got mush better. After about two weeks she stopped with the gas altogether.

JJ

MNGSP

I was able to stop the "alternative noises" by simply using my ecollar on a low stimulation when my dog would make noise just soft enough for the bark collar to not pick up. My dog is going on 6 years now and only barks when someone she doesn't know walks by or comes to the door.

JJ

MNGSP

Anybody? Is there anything I can coat them with to help prevent the scratches? I seem to remember people using something on the underside of dogs for similar purposes?

Thanks.

Hello all, I've been thinking endlessly lately about the upcoming pheasant season here in MN while out getting Holly my shorthair some additional excersise. Just about everytime out last year she seemed to tear up the insides of her ears pretty good. Mainly just scratches and sores from running thro...

MNGSP

What kind of training are you talking about? Obedience? Bird work? Either way, I would recommend looking up the MN chapter of NAVHDA. They usually have some obedience classes this time of year. I attended them with my dog last year and learned a ton. You cannot beat the socialization for your pup ei...

MNGSP

ssjetset, I would love to do some grouse and duck hunting and watching our dogs do what they were born to do. I know for a fact that I would learn something new. Thanks for the offer. I think we'd both be pleasantly surprised by each others dogs. There are no hard feelings over here. Have a great da...

MNGSP

There are negative things against the kennel that I agreed with; namely the hip certification. I clearly agreed that this was an issue. Not something I would like to hear; but I agreed with it. I am, as I have stated numerous times, not putting Countryside on a pedestal. I realize and acknowledge th...

MNGSP

No, you weren't; but you sure do backpedal when you get called out on it ssjetset. Hold on while I go tell Holly she'll never win a trial or amount to anything because her breeder didn't know what she was doing. What a bunch of garbage. Bottom line Ace is that if you are looking for a hunting dog th...

MNGSP

Say what you want about Shooting Star or any of the other reputable breeders in your area, but with any of them I can get a pretty good idea what I'll be bringing home. With Country Side's pedigrees I wouldn't have a clue. Even with the best breeders there is risk, but at least the odds are much be...

MNGSP

I do agree with what Brenda is saying. It makes sense to me to try to "breed out," certain problems such as Hip Dysplasia by choosing pairs that are certified to be dysplasia free. It is for the better of the breed. Does it mean that because the kennel in question doesn't test them that their dogs w...

MNGSP

He'll tell you that the kennel you are researching has no background in NAVHDA and niether does the kennel owner, however many kennel owners in Wis are active in chapters as trainers,breeders and judges. If you want to get into Navhda why not talk to people involved and ask thier opinions? Just bec...

MNGSP

Snips, I do not believe that they OFA hips. They do include a 30 month written guarantee against health defects. I realize that this may not be enough time to tell whether or not the hips are bad or not. Definitely a good point, and something to be considered in the purchase of a dog. Thanks for bri...

MNGSP

Ace, For comparisons sake, Holly will range out around 100 yards in relatively shortgrass (anything she can see over). In the taller grasses/corn she will range out about 50 yards. I didn't mean to make this a Countryside lovefest, but I honestly have nothing but good things to say about them. Have ...

MNGSP

Buy what you want, kind of like driving a mini van when you could drive a vette. Hey, just the kind of analogy I was looking for. Why buy a Corvette when you can't use all of that power for what it was designed for? Where does the Corvette shine? On the race track. Is it "cool" to have or fun on th...

MNGSP

My take on Countryside: Patty is one of the most honest people I know. She is very open about her breeding program and will not sell you a dog that does not fit your needs. I was new to the breed when I began looking and she not only answered my basic questions, but explained to me her breeding prog...
