Ok so I have seen bits and pieces here and there about why some of you have Pointers, or GSPs, or Setters, or own more than one breed etc...etc...etc... My questions are why did you choose what you have? What are the characteristics about that certain breed that helps you decide to have or not have ...

Russmill84

ok i will take pics soon, i have some but because of the move and stuff i gotta dig the camera out, and get em on here. I am going to take some of her and this miller pup.

Russmill84

Got the pup from Bill Coddington. Drove to his place last weekend and picked her up.

Russmill84

haha thats funny i didn't know Rick did as well! He must be keeping it under wraps! :lol: I tell you what though Chip this Miller pup has her Hands full with Zee! Zee is a ruler of the dang roost she thinks...she is giving every one of my adult dogs all sorts of heck! Chip she is the young prospect ...

Well i just put my feet down into the waters of the pointer world. I bought a young daughter of Miller's Happy Jack! I bought her to run some trials with, and see what training a pointer is all about. I have some dang nice dogs now, and a young shorthair prospect. But i got her to just give it a whi...

had tranny problems of my own with my 07 Classic Silverado. Dealership helped me out like no other. Hopefully the same happens for you.

That pup couldn't be in any better hands at having a shot to be a champion than being with Joe. Frank, that dog is on to something great!!

Russmill84

Yah website is down, pm me and i'll help you out.

Russmill84

Consider my vote put in for ya. Unfortuantely it is going to be on the worng car, but hey....bird dogs and NASCAR, can't get any more country than that!!

Russmill84

here is a couple, but you can find pictures all over the internet.....can you say a weim was not used to produce this?

Russmill84

wow. Now that sure is a good looking pup.

Russmill84

Well I may not be getting the point your trying to make Ezzy, so you'll have to excuse my ignorance. But i did read on the LRC site that any other color than brown or shades of brown, yellowor shades of yellow, or black is not accepted, or yellow, brown, or black with a brindle is not accepted, or i...

Russmill84

Well I just was just wondering for the fact that the LRC does not recognize the Silver Lab but the AKC does or did at one time, but caused problems with the LRC now they just say they are chocolate labs. Just seemed REALLY weird to me. I think just by looks you can tell 100% there is a weimaraner in...

Russmill84

So I have been reading after seeing a friend interested in Silver Labs and probably going to get one. Personally I know that the DNA testing that has been done on the breed only show its parents are it parents, it does not show up as a breed specific marker. AKC recognizes them as Chocolate labs or ...

Russmill84

Looks like it is definitely worth reading......just ordered one. Also if you find that intriguing, try PM'ing SNOOK, as his book Called "Dad,Dog, and Fish" is absolutely a must read! I'am sure he will help you get a copy of one, if he doesn't have any to sell to you.

Russmill84

For some reason when you said Tred Barta, I was thinking I could see Uncle Ted doing the same thing and then going on his "blood brother eagle" talk and so on!

Russmill84

Just me saying this, and it could be dumd, as I am not a trainer, but do train some of my own dogs.....I personally would put a bird on a maypole and checkcord your dog in. If your dog isn't pointing, it could be due to overpressure. Try a little E-Collar "WHOA" work as well.

Russmill84

Had a friend of mine in East Texas take hogs on with his 2 Black mouth Curs, and let me telly ou those dogs were absolutely relentless in taking thos big hogs out of the brush!

Russmill84

About to say the same thing.....Labs sound like the way to go with your hunting preferences.

Russmill84

I live in Cheyenne and make several trips a month up to Thermopolis. I would be willing to help If you would want to meet in Sydney or something.?? Just shoot me a PM

Russmill84

She just gets better and better on her style. I just had to show what she's up to. Gotta love her style.

All smiles on this end! I couldn't be happier with any other pup I tell ya!

Russmill84

Mine is the ULTIMATE sock destroyer. It doesn't matter whos sock, he will destroy it, and then keep it piled up by his kennel. We never have to wonder who did it.

Russmill84

PM sent.

Russmill84

intense little thing she is!!...Joe if you see these, she has it in her to be something great!

Russmill84

here she is againn....focused on the bird

Russmill84

Here she is again on point...she is a looker I tell ya! She is using her nose amazingly well, and she is still holding her point. I just keep making it all fun for her.

Russmill84

I couldn't be any more happy! He just made things look good. Still a few things to work on with him, but he is just a good dog, and was definitely deserving of his placement, he worked extremely hard for me.

Russmill84

Posted in the wrong area before...but here ya go....My first ever trial and me and ol' Kickstand pulled off a 4th! My first trial and he got us a 4th. In the "B" Field on the last brace by going 4/4. I'm super excited! He definitely made me look good.

Russmill84

Russmill84

Ditto on the mouth piece part. Don't forget to clean the bag either, that thing will get slimey pretty quick.

Russmill84

Well I have dealt with some pretty stubborn dogs, trying to help friends and family break their dogs. I know the heat cycle thing is absolutely the truth as i have dealt with that a few times. But thank you all for the comments on her. I am just so pleased with how good things are going, and I will ...

Russmill84

Here is my 16 week old pup on point. Chloe if you click on her pedigree is a pup from Joe Amatulli's breeding. I am extremely proud of her, as she hold her point, has learned here, whoa, and kennel by only positive reinforcement. And i mean she has learned them to a "T". Just thought i would show a ...

Russmill84

I think you will absolutely enjoy the book.

Russmill84

Let me say that if you have yet to get a copy of his book and read it, you are truly missing out. Take me saying this for what you want but i have read hundreds of books, and this is probably the one i will remember for the rest of my life. Truly a work of art the things that are shown and written i...

Russmill84

She is doing absolutely amazing now, she fits in, and has already found a love of the crate.....And a ball. I have never EVER in my whole life seen a dog as intent to throw this thing around and get so riled up over a dang ball. She has a passionate love/hate realtionship with it. It is fun to watch...

Russmill84

Well, after all my anticipation, the pup "Chloe" that I bought from Joe is everything i could have hoped for thus far. What a little ball of energy, there was NO shyness, or even a single hesitation about coming out of the airline crate and setting a running blaze around our house. She is all about ...

Russmill84

Congrats on everything, i hope all goes well!

Russmill84

Cooper will be 2 in January, and his training was the same as every dog I have had. Even the same trainer. Who knows, but it sure is a funny thing.

Russmill84

Ok so Cooper is now a finished gun dog, Cooper is a GWP I aquired in a trade here a while back, and he is an amazing dog, the thing is he is literally the smartest dog I have ever been around. First, when training unless you are carrying a gun, he will not run, nor retrieve anything you throw his wa...

Russmill84

I second the the peagravel idea! Thats exactly what i did, and it works great. I just dug about 8 inches down in a 12x12 ft. square, and filled with bags of pea gravel, and it works great. I do have to clean up pea gravel around the edges though. They always knock some out.

Russmill84

Ok well i just bought a new Browning Gold Hunter 12/26. My question is when i receive it tonight i need to know what kind of lube to use to clean out the factory stuff, as it has been sitting in a store for over a year. I would appreciate it! Also anyone else have this gun? If so how do you like it?

Russmill84

Well Joe I wish you were here! I could use a little of your expertise around here.

Russmill84

Kickstand will be my NSTRA dog, and Chloe since she comes from a big running line will more than likely be getting into some puppy stakes, then field trials once she is ready for it.

Russmill84

Wow what a beautiful boy! Weims will always be to me the best looking of the bird dogs. JMO

Russmill84

Are you going to be doing the trial down by Colo. Springs?

Russmill84

As for the other pup, I can't wait to see what she turns into. Training her is going to be a blast im sure!

Russmill84

I am definitely nervous about it. The good thing is I have ran and seen exactly what he can do, so i know for a fact that he will be showing ME the way things work. As for people looking at my skills, well lets just say i fall under the started category of human bird dog handlers lol Im not finished...

Russmill84

Thats great to hear about kickstand, and someone who knows his breeding background! He is absolutely amazing to watch. His training was second to none, and he handles as good as anyone could ask for. He is an absolute pleaser and lover, and a bird finding fool.

Russmill84

I do not believe so. I have asked around and am looking for some type of puppy stake, but I don't believe NSTRA offers one. Atleast not around here anyway.
