Nope but looks like the birds are quittin' us... Not many birds left in these parts..

Pleasant Ridge

good luck on all accounts. 50 birds that is a big difference from the asheville area, you could hunt all season or two and not see that many birds. brandon Aint that the truth!!! Sounds like your dog is learning, if you have access to this many birds just make sure you don't shoot any he doesn't po...

I have an older French Brittany, those pictures make me want to have another.. I like the orange roan for sure..

Pleasant Ridge

I would second the motion for Dave Hughes, Lloyd Murray (longgone setters) or Grouse ridge setters.. While these are coverdog English setters these folks are breeding dogs for the grouse woods If you are looking specifically for a Llewillin, there are multiple places on the internet to look.. Bob Ba...

The Red Setter was not an option.. There is a difference between Red Setters, Irish Setters and Red and white Setters...

Gentlemen, Here is my point, why purchase a cheaper made newer shotgun when the gentlemen can pick up an older Winchester M12 that will last many life times, and be trouble free. IMO it is always better to have a weapon that is a known quality entity, than a newer shotgun that is no where near the ...

Pleasant Ridge

With the BPS, don't you find the bolt release on the left side is in an awkward position for a right hander? No, Mark I have never found an issue with it but I have never had issues going from a double trigger to single trigger gun or a trigger mounted safety to a top mounted safety either... I had...

Pleasant Ridge

Buy a new shotgun.. For around $500.00 a Browning BPS would be hard to beat... New gun, reliable, screw-in chokes, you can shoot steel, etc...

Pleasant Ridge

Too late?

Mr. Ruff don't run...

Respectfully, I have to disagree completely.. Don't fool yourself.. A Grouse will run given the opportunity..

Very well said!!!!

Thanks Chip,

I had saw those earlier today.. I noticed in the first thread that the ones posted from "Georgia boy" were missing.. They may have well been what I was looking for.....

Pleasant Ridge

Thanks Ted,

I have saw several of the scotts kennels.. Someone on this board a year to year and a half ago posted pictures of very nice ones they had built themselves from there own plans...

Pleasant Ridge

Could those of you who use elevated kennels please post some pictures? I did a search, but it seems some of the pictures have been removed... Any pictures would be appreciated...

This is a total indulgence but check this piece out: http://www.ithacagun.com/28gauge.html question: If you were looking for a used Ithaca pump, what models and years would you look for? You need to look at anything made before 1975.... They are bringing ~$100.00 more than they were this time last ...

That puppy shows his Blizzard blood. It looks like my pup shares quite a bit of ancestory with Some of your Sires and dams! Mostly in the grandapents 4th and 5th gen(what is that like 12.5% genology from the 4th gen and 6.5% from the 5th) but it is still quite nice to see! You have some beautiful l...

(Oh, by the way, socialization with people and pets is very important for pups, but if it were me, I would keep him away from Petsmart/Petco until he has all his puppy shots. Sooooooo many people take their dogs to those kinds of places (and dog parks) that you never know what might be there.) rockl...

Pleasant Ridge

Good deal, I know a lot of folks have read and used Wolters books in the past..Before I got to sold on his methods I would check out some others..Delmar Smith's "best way to train your bird dog" is an awfully good read and resource... A lot depends on the dog... Where are you located in Va.? Parker

Pleasant Ridge

Phoenix, Good looking pup... Yes, you will get some negativity thrown toward your pup because of the breeding.. However, I would not in anyway let it discourage you... I know that some stated bad things about Kings dogs in this thread, but I can tell you several positives that I have encountered fro...

live4point--- If you want a answer for your question I suggest you do some long research on the subject

Pleasant Ridge

Well, honestly not knowing the final issues or what really went down, it is a shame for the dogs. Whether or not the breeders did right by their lines or their breeding practices, I can not say, and if I did know more I am sure it would still depend. And I imagine it is no fun for those that were c...

Pleasant Ridge

Mountaindogs, From my recollection Hank was never one of the dogs originally questioned by FDSB.. I owned a dog that was caught up in the question.. She was fine dog (RIP).. She was 100% Setter, rather you want to classify her as Llewellin or Russian\Llewellin.. I'll tell you this much about her and...

Pleasant Ridge

Here we go again.. It stems back a long way... If you do enough research on Llewellin setters you will find out.. It seems that this is never going to correct itself......

Pleasant Ridge

Hey Donnie, I Feed it to my 3 dogs. They seem to have good stamina and the clean up is fantastic. I know Brian says Belle's coat faded but I have not had that issue, although I will say that the kibble is not as "oily" as say Black Gold. I am feeding a 65 pound setter 4 cups a day and he seems to be...

Pleasant Ridge

The previous post on Kennel flooring had me thinking about an "above ground' kennel system such as a Scotts type kennel. Who uses them and what are the pros and cons of them?

Pleasant Ridge

Chip, A Rambling Rebel gets the hound credit. Blackhawk goes back to setter ....allegedly. We Pointer guys don't get our panties in a wad like the GSP crowd. We just want better bird dogs. If a coon hound made Rebel the dog he was and a setter made Blackhawk the producer he is ...well, I just don't...

(sniff, sniiff) I smell a troll!!! May I ask, is anyone with a differing opinion to certain folk here a tIroll? As you can tell I don't post here much but I do enjoy the read... I have to ask, which dog is more than likely to point a troll, retrieve a troll, track a troll or complete a troll search...

Pleasant Ridge

I too feed exceed chicken and rice.. I have fed many different feeds and it seems to work well with my dogs. I have one 1.5 year old male (65 pounds) that eats 4 cups a day. One 45 pound female 3 cups a day and a 40 pound female eats 2.5 cups a day. Believe it or not all dogs require different amoun...

Pleasant Ridge

I don't know if it has been mentioned but Delmar Smiths book "Best way to train a bird dog" is a great read. Also your pup should be wearing and dragging the cc around. I probably don't have the expertise that some do here, I have only had a few bird dogs in my life but I for one don't let a pup pul...

Pleasant Ridge

You could also go to a farm supply store and get 2 empty 55 gallon plastic barrels, attach them together and put a door on them and you've got a cheap, light two dog box. You can find 30 gallon barrels as well.. I think if you look on the rolling red priaie kennel website they have instructions on ...

Pleasant Ridge

Either dog is competent just make sure you get the dog from a breeding that has produced grouse dogs in the past. If you are duck hunting you need to lean toward the GSP.................

I have been the route you are talking about.. you will end up with more money in the box than you expect. You should be able to find a good used box for $200.00 to $400.00... Also I use shavings with news paper ribbons for bedding..

Pleasant Ridge

I own and hunt Llewellins, they are fantastic dogs given the right opportunity. They are great upland dogs and wonderful companions. I owned and know others who own FB's. wonderful upland dogs, however I don't know if duck hunting and turkey hunting is exactly suited for either breed. If you would b...

I think that you will find that most "mobile" panels are 10x10x6. There fore you can make kennel runs that are 5'x20'. I have used this setup for some time and the dogs seem to have exercise room while in the kennel. I have used gravel, but I am in the process of putting down pavers. While the grave...

I was solicited to be a "Charter Member" of QU when it first started up. I sent in dough, but they kept thinking of reasons why I did not need to be a Charter Member unless I sent in a big bunch more.

Dependening on where in Tn. that you end up will decide where and what you will hunt. If you traverse through the Knoxville area, you will find Big South Fork N.P. located about 40 mi. north of Knoxville off of I-75. The forest will take in both TN. and Kentucky. The terrain is rough to say the leas...

Cindy, Thanks for the most wonderful picture. I noticed you have your TT beeper under the dogs chin, does the TT beeper in that position bother the dog?

You are fixing to get into more money than you think and weight can be a problem. The price of sheeting material ( plywood or similaris very high. 2X4 's are pushing $3.50 or better now. You may get by with making your frame by splitting 2X4's into 2X2's. If you want to save yourself some time and a...
