A little pup may have some troubles adjusting to the cold temps, They are smart and it appears our dog likes being inside. I would take it outside and play with it. If its not too cold, I would put it in your kennel and it will get used to it. Do you have any photos of your pup? Here is a picture o...

The new pointer pup (11 weeks) we got is getting acclimated to her new home pretty well. The only issue we have with her is she hates the cold. Anything below about 45 degrees her tail goes between the legs, she wines and she will run to the door to get back in the house, she won't even take a walk ...

First, I've really enjoyed what I've read here and look forward to discussing bird dogs with others. My situation is that I have a 11 year old GSP that is dead steady all day on point, and retrieves perfectly to hand. She's not steady to wing, but as a pheasant hunter that doesn't so much bother me...

Have him give Ron Wilson or Greg Dixon a call. I am sure they can hunt down a pup...

I am an Associate Partner at IBM's Global Business Services...my biggest client right now is Bank of America and with them acquiring Merrill we are working with the Bank on the Transition of Merrill into the Bank.

jhoughton

Good luck finding him...have you called all the animal controls in the area? Police Stations? Fire Departments? We did this and got reports of people seeing dogs, but unfortuantely it was never my dog. A deer hunter eventually found my girl...if there are any hunt clubs anywhere near where you lost ...

Don't know if anyone saw on the news yesterday about the plane that went down in NY. I was out there at a meeting with many of my current clients and co-workers and most of them were on the plane. For some reason, I decided to change my flight and come back to Atlanta early this week and not head ba...

My son is really getting attached to the new pup...nothing better for pups than little boys and nothing better for little boys than pups.

jhoughton

We are excited about this pup...I really liked the pedigree on both sides. We are hoping that she will be a "high octane pup" to run in horseback trials along side my "wild" wirehair some day.

jhoughton

We will be picking her up this weekend...I am real excited about the breeding she is out of she is out of Elhew Sinbad X Shotgun Hannah Brown. I always wanted a pointer and just never pulled the trigger on one so I am real excited about this pup. Here is a picture of her: http://www.schnitzengiggleg...

I'm confused... one of mine has 7 placements.... report only shows 3 , and no wins. And he had wins. Fuzz :? Me too :? According to the AKC report, Marley only had 5 placements for the whole year which is the same number of placements that he had back in May. We all saw him win the NFC and chances ...

jhoughton

congrats on a great year to everyone. It's great to see our breed doing so well in all breed trials. anyone know how that report works? I'm confused... one of mine has 7 placements.... report only shows 3 , and no wins. And he had wins. Fuzz It is only "Open" placements and will not include Puppy o...

Here is the report...

Our Trish tied for first for the 2008 AKC GWP Top Dog. We are so proud of how she has done this year in her first year of trials. We had 8 total placements and had 2 Major Wins.

jhoughton

The two dogs that placed were absolutely awesome to watch. Always showed up in the right place at the right time and stood multiple large covies. My girsl Trish didn't finish as she didn't have much snap to her. She just came into season last week and after the stress of being lost last week, we dec...

jhoughton

I would call your vet asap. My setter had a bad reaction to his lyme disease shot once and we almost lost him due to it. Not trying to scare you, just better to be cautious with those types of things.

jhoughton

Started out with Hunt Tests moved to Walking Trials, now hooked on Horseback Trials. I also run my setter in UFTA sometimes... The venue has been more driven by what my dogs are capable of competing in well. As my wire streched out, we moved to the horseback trials and my setter is a solid UFTA dog,...

jhoughton

Trish runs in the last brace...will post the placements when I get home tomorrow.

jhoughton

We got through 6 braces today and 3 are scheduled for tomorrow...Mav had 2 finds and Dee had 3 covey finds. Those were the only braces that I rode today so that is all I know.

jhoughton

Well...thanks to everyone for your prayers. Trish is safe and enjoying being at home right now. We took her to the vets yesterday and had her patched up a little, had a stick cut out of her leg and her wounds cleaned out. She is now enjoying life as a house dog...we pulled her from the AKC trial thi...

jhoughton

Just got a call and we are now on the 5 hour drive to go get her. I can't express the relief...my wife and I were in tears when we got the call.

jhoughton

Well, we have done about everything we can to find her. All we can do is hope someone finds her and calls. She had a tracking collar on with Ray's contact info and her regular collar with mine on it. Thanks to all for the kind words...they say you get that "one dog" in a lifetime and she sure was mi...

jhoughton

Ray was out in Newington getting ready for the trials this weekend and she was having a great run and just disapeared. Ray spent all weekend without sleep trying to find her and I went out as soon as I got the word she was missing. We combed every place we could get on within 10 miles and there was ...

Ed Moody won AGD...

jhoughton

Keep in mind a good field trial horse can run anywhere from $2500-$5000. Anything less and you are probably buying either a young horse or someone elses problem. I agree with Brenda...give Ray a call as if he doesn't have a horse he may know someone who is selling a horse. I would suggest you get a ...

Does anyone know the process for registering an AKC dog with the FDSB? I have done it the other way...but even on the American Field Sire, it is not clear on what needs to be filled out.

Thanks,
Jay

jhoughton

Only water test I know of on the east coast is in Delaware in August...I am betting Trish will be in North Dakota again this summer so that isn't an option. We will have to wait until the Nationals next year probably unless we can find one in the spring.

jhoughton

The only other placement I know is Ray won OLGD with his Dixie dog...

jhoughton

Well...my little girl Trish finally got two of her 4 retrieving points this weekend in OLGD. We lost her in both OGD and ALGD and called it a weekend at the ATL GSP CLub Trial. She now only needs two more retrieving points for her FC. This was her 7th placement of the year so we couldn't be happier ...

jhoughton

Why only a GSP? Why not consider a GWP...better coat for the cold water and alot of breeders have great lines for ducks and upland...

My Llewellin is out of Highway Dan and Twin Cedars Rhett and have seen a few others out of him. My setter is the best wild bird dog that I have ever owned and one of the best I have ever seen. I have hunted him on everything from ruffed grouse in NH to Quail in S. GA to Pheasant out West and he outp...

jhoughton

Let me know when you want to go out and try it again...I haven't had any luck finding good habitat in N. GA, but always enjoy a walk in the woods with dogs. I really miss seeing 20-30 birds/day up in NH.

jhoughton

A big CONGRATS!!!!

jhoughton

Congrats and what a litter of pups. I saw Orville's pup out of the second Wilson Cookie litter...looks like Wilson without the beard. Will send you a pic when I get home.

jhoughton

Well we finished with a second in AGD this weekend. I am real please with how Trish is coming along. We have all of her FC points now just need the retrieving points.

jhoughton

Got the call from Ray Dohse yesterday that my GWP Trish won OLGD at the Midle Georgia English Setter Club Trial. This was Trish's 5th placement and 2nd win this year. I am heading down there tomorrow morning to run her in AGD.

jhoughton

Anyone going this weekend? I will be out there Sunday to run in AGD.

jhoughton

Congrats to Rich, Brenda and Ray...

jhoughton

Please post results if you can...

jhoughton

I don't think I could take another one of those plantation hunt shows where the dog creeps, flags, lays down and then pounces on the bird. Would be good if they would show some really seasoned wild bird hunting though...

Eastern Iowa??

He will be at the trials in Solon Springs WI the last two weekends of the month.

Any idea on the other placements?

Has anyone heard how OLGD went?

jhoughton

Please keep us updated on how the trial goes. I've got a dog up there running with Ray Dohse. I was going to be there this weekend, but my boss has different plans for me. NYC tomorrow and Ft Lauderdale Saturday and Sunday...I would much rather be in Wisconsin!!!

jhoughton

Spin their head in a circle for 30 seconds and put them in the cover. They will be dizzied for a few minutes...so give them a few before you bring the dog in so they will fly away. Get a recall pen if you want to get them back. It may take a day for them to recall, but if there are a couple of males...
