Chit ya,,,, what ya need to know,, I've retrieved 10x more birds than my dogs have ever thought about retrieving. Man I gotta start hunting with you more often. Sounds like your better at running down them cripples better than I can. My sniffer just doesnt work good enough to pick up foot scent. Iv...

Casper

Way to go guys! Happy for ya.

Casper

I have a couple questions regarding this training method.

Is the stimulation a constant stimulation or is it momentary?

Can this method be used for teaching a horse to stand to mount, stand while mounted, and stopping?

Casper

Linda and Scott are very upstanding people. You should be able to get what your looking for with them.

Casper

Way to go guys! She sure is a nice bird dog. I liked her ever since I took Brian chukar hunting. Keep up the good work with all your very talented dogs. Hope to hear more good news of them all in the future.

Casper

I'd say that if you want to say my dog is better than the rest out there than start FTing. It feels good that you have the "better" dog when you get that ribbon. But if you just want to do something when you are not hunting and want to prove your training than give the hunt tests a go. Both can be f...

Casper

It's all free running and hunting at their own speed in the country they'll be doing their job for years to come. The more I learn about dogs the more I like this statement. After getting into trialing and watching many dogs from different parts of the west I am seeing different performances. I am ...

Casper

nope just leave them be

Casper

Pick up any issue of the field and you will see a LOT of winners out of Blackhawk. I thought that last year this dog was a Derby? If that is so how is it that he is already siring CH dogs when they are mostly still to young? Ross didnt you breed Sara to him when he was still a derby? Those pups are...

Casper

what are typical costs for ground shipping? Chad why are you not a fan of flying pups? How many pups have you flown? I have only one experience flying a pup (the one in my avatar). Although she was a bit shaken with a sudden new surrounding she handled the flight well and adjusted to her new home qu...

Casper

Thats good news! Thanks John

Casper

My understanding of FF is that you should have complete compliance from the dog sent to any object, without assistance, you set at the end of the table including birds before you take the dog to the ground. I also understand that many trainers will start the process with the toe hitch than change to...

Casper

Pup looks like it will have some style to burn. Looks good Pepper

Casper

I'm in the same boat as Doug. This is the best time to just let the pup develop on its own. I had good success with my pups by knowing where I could take the pup and put them into birds as soon as possible so each time the pup was successful in finding birds. It doesnt take long before they start do...

Casper

I dont know how it would be cheaper when you are being paid by others to breed to the dog "you" own

Casper

Hold on folks! There's a HUGE difference between demanding a dog stay with a pro and asking the amateur to be nothing more than the check writer. In some cases the pro owns the dog. He may have developed it as a pup or he may have bought/traded/been given the dog from a client. He believes that the...

Casper

Man what an experience that is Brenda. I have been there twice. Every day I look forward to the day I get to go back. Take a bunch of pics to share with us

Casper

I dont know of that guy but if your looking for a trainer fairly close to you there is Dan Hoke ( http://www.dunfur.com ) and RJ Marquart ( http://www.quicksilverkennels.com ) up in Washington. Both are very successful and respected trainers.

FWIW

Wild Mtn Beans N Tortillas.

Love the call name though..............Bean.....errrrr........never mind

I always liked those roan Brittanys. Pretty dogs. Good luck with her

Casper

Right on guys! Congrats on the placements. Looks like things are really going well for you guys.

Casper

wait till his foot is dry and he isnt licking it anymore than apply the betadine or apply it but wrap the dogs foot in vet-wrap. My dogs usually only lick their pads for a day or two. IMHO if you just put the dog up for a week his feet will dry and the pad will heal itself in a few days. If you are ...

Casper

Right on man! Those dang $2 ribbons are the "bleep" things. Its so exciting to win one. Keep it up

Casper

What about the pup that remembered 3 bumpers on day one doesnt even retrieve the first one on the next visit (if there is one) and the one that showed no interest in retrieving made 2 retrieves than wanted to ruff house a bit on the 3rd visit? Or the one pup that was shy of the bird the first time i...

Casper

I bought harnesses for this lady. She custom makes them for your dog so they fit real nice and they are priced real nice. The Urban Train Harness is probably the one I would suggest for this kind of usage. http://alpineoutfitters.net/Secure/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=155 I like these over the le...

Casper

By 10 months old I would think that the skeletal development has reached its peak. Sled dog people start their young dogs pulling at younger ages than 10 months. Mostly light duty but I am sure they take into consideration everything necessary. I would be willing to bet that as long as Matt kept a c...

Casper

I was there. Got around clean 3 of 5 times. Went birdless once because the bird decided to leave early before my scout could call point and the dog didnt stick around for anything :roll: . Other time he decided that after his first find he would run one down :evil: . We didnt get anything out of it ...

Casper

You continue to put the same fuel in your vehicles regardless of price why should your dog get less just to save a few bucks?

Casper

As of last night Windee is still gone. I have been coming and going as work has to take priority over the field trial. So I havent ridden many braces. In the Non Retrieving I know of two dogs that "might" be making some money. One is a wirehair that I believe was handled by Dave Lachance that had 5 ...

Casper

Sweet Man! Bang up jobs are always great to have.

Casper

Had a great time chasing a couple dogs around with Casper Saturday afternoon finding a few sagehens and Cali quail. He's got some darn promising up and comers so gotta look out for him too - sheesh! (congrats on the placement man!!) I swear to ya' 'ol Stitchy was a broke dog at one point in his lif...

Casper

Has anyone used with any success this type of recall pen? I was gifted one last fall but have just sat on it. If you have had success using this pen has it been stationary or have you been able to move its location and still have good recall success? How many birds have you been able to keep in it c...

Casper

I heard that Doug Favor won the AA with his dog Bugsy and Emmett with Fly also took RU to George Wilson with his dog Buzz.

Rock on guys

Casper

withholding placements means that there were no other dogs that did a job worth giving a placement. Such as dogs that did not live up to the standard of that particular stake, poor manners, etc.

FWIW

The Ames Plantation has 20,000 acres extensively managed for quail, with some of the greatest minds in quail propogation consulting and involved, spending thousands of dollars and man hours, yet the quail continue to decline. They have tried nearly everything else, perhaps they should try to make t...

OLGD was won by Rick Dodges dog Mocha

OGD was won by Eldon Hongo but I cant remember dogs name. Second place was my dog Mac. 3rd and 4th withheld.

Casper

Right on! Big congrats to Emmett and Rick. Both super nice dogs

I am a gal, 5' nothin' and about 110#. I would like a smaller horse. I know how to ride, but am getting to the age where a safe and sane ride is my speed. No more herky-jerky cow horses, I want a smooth gait as well. :D I am always looking for something better so if you are even slightly interested...

Casper

You need to contact Terry Zygalinski. I dont have his phone # handy but can get it for you. He is pretty good about matching a horse with its rider.

How big of a guy are you? How big of a horse you looking to get?

Casper

Ryan I am going to be pretty negative here. First let me say this. I have not done FF yet but do understand the complete concept. What I am seeing in your dog is a ton of fear. She does not want to pick up your thrown objects. A properly FFed dog wants that object in its mouth. They want this becaus...

The brittany club is holding their trial this weekend up in Madras.

The GWP club is on the 18-20th

In May there will be one every weekend for the first 3 weeks in Madras. 2 horse back and one walking.

Go to one or all of them and meet some club members and check out some FTing.

FWIW

Casper

I have a similar issue with the same flag only if I click it it erases "all" new post flags in all forums. Any ideas? I have not messed with anything. It works on all other message boards with the same icons just not GDF.

Casper

Ross I have a question for you. As I watch your postings I observed one thing. In the past the rule of thumb has been "whoa" is not for birds. Meaning that it is taught away from birds until the dog totally understands what is asked of him (stand still and grow roots). Once the dog shows he fully un...

Casper

Right on guys! Those are some fancy lookers you got there.

Casper

Nice pics man Libby is a cute little girl. Good to hear your recall pen is doing you good

Casper

I am partial to Nevada but no one else is

Casper

Rick pictures are a excellent idea. I will do that this weekend.

As for the money I will have to discuss this with the club.

The nearest trial is 4 hrs away.
