springpoint

thanks guys i'm looking for a dog to hunt grouse so want a close to medium range dog, do you guys have any suggestions on breeders or bloodlines that i should look into, for this type of dog.

thanks

springpoint

I've been looking around at dogs and have been helping my friend train his dog, thus the pigeon question.

I really like the looks of pointers and i was wondering if pointers are a good dog for first time owner and handler.

thanks

springpoint

the pigeon poll sounds like a good idea, how long or a line do you put on the pigeon from the poll and how tall is the poll you use.

thanks

springpoint

thanks very much

springpoint

thanks guys

SC about how far can the ussually fly with a piece that long?

springpoint

I'm looking at getting some pigeons for training and i read some were that you can tie a piece of garden hose to a string and then to the pigeon so it can only fly so far and then you can get it back to use again. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and how big was the piece of garden house you...

If you were looking for breedi...

I see on another board that this dog won her 17th championship which just seems amazing. She must be considered one of the top females of all time. I was wondering what dogs she is out of.

Just a beautiful looking dog also.

springpoint

thanks guys for all the opinions i've decided to stay away from this dog and i don't want a dog that possibly has health issues.

thanks again

springpoint

yawallac i thank you very much for your opinions, i was just saying what he told me, wondering what you guys thought.

thanks for all the suggestions

i have not seen the dog yet so i don't know if the dog looks malnurished or not.

springpoint

I talked to the owner and he said the dog in question came from a litter of fourteen and she was the smallest when born, and she is very healthy he said he thinks the small size is because of the litter size.

springpoint

She come for a very reputable cover dog breeder and the owner that has her now has had very good dogs that he trials, and said she is just to small and doesn't run big enough, he figures she will be about 25 - 30lbs.

thanks for your opinions

springpoint

I've come across a english pointer that someone is selling because of her small size. She is 16lbs at 7months is this way under ave. how big do you think this dog will be?

If it's way under ave. for a english pointer is there any health problems that i have to look for.

thanks

springpoint

sorry to here about your dog, he is in my prayers.

springpoint

thanks neil i'm not very versed in the trial formates but yes i did mean pointer stakes as that is what mostly wins the american field all age stakes from what i read.

springpoint

I have a question when looking at brittany's i see that they have there own ack breed club nationals. I was wondering how big to all age dogs have to run in akc compared to the american field all age trials. neil that is really nice to here about that french britt is that ack trials or american fiel...

springpoint

thanks again guys so much good info here for me to ponder

springpoint

not looking to start a fight but i was wondering if there is any difference between american and french britts besides price, number of breeders and color.

i guess what i'm looking at is your chance of getting a good dog better in the american lines

springpoint

thanks guys

springpoint

I also know that bruce minard is doing alot of winning in the woods with elhew x miller crosses.

springpoint

thanks for all the information guys, i found the post about brittany's being one of the quickest learning breeds to be very interesting and one of the reasons i'm intrigued by the breed.

do most people with brittany experience find them quick learners and easy to handle in the field

springpoint

thanks guys

i was wondering if you have heard of a kennel called tainter creek they are located in wisconsin, and have a lot of the maverick blood line in there kennel, i was wondering if anyone has heard of them or seen anydogs by them.

springpoint

i've been looking at brittany's as i really like them, and the reason i asked this question is when i look at the pedigrees on alot of websites you see alot of the same dogs farther back in the pedigrees. the all age dogs look to be a little bigger statured dogs. I guess what i'm getting at what dog...

springpoint

I was reading the post on the german shorthair breeders and a few people said that top gun gsp's is known as one of the premier breeders in the country and i was wondering who you guys think are the premeir brittany breeders that are producing dogs for the foothunter and family.

springpoint

I was wondering what type of dogs elhew fibber mcgee ussually produces?

are most of his offspring horseback dogs or walking shooting dogs, biddable things like that.

thanks in advance.

springpoint

thanks for all the replies

springpoint

thanks for the info guys

springpoint

Just curious but the wirehairs i seen were pretty big and heavy dogs, i was wondering if the dogs you guys are running tend to be lighter than the navhda dogs or are the build of all wirehairs about the same.

thanks alot guys

springpoint

Someone told me that they have horse back trails for german wirehairs and i found this interesting because the couple of wirehairs i have seen have not been big running dogs. I was just wondering if there are other wirehair trials besides navhda and who breeds for bigger running german wirehairs.

springpoint

yeah i'm not on pdj so i have no idea what your talking about.

springpoint

I've narrowed my search down and i think a brittany is the right dog for us. I'm just wondering what breeders or bloodlines should i look to for in a brittany for grouse hunting. I'm looking for a dog that is biddable, medium ranging and on the smaller side of the standard also i would want a femle....

springpoint

wow thanks for the answers dave. What i was thinking is a dog for upland hunting and what breed gave you the best chance of getting a good dog or a beginner.

thanks again guys

springpoint

I was wondering what you guys think is the best of the lesser known breeds in the field.

pudelpointer
red setter
wiredhaired griffon
small and large munsterlander
gordon setter
french britt

i know i'm missing some but you guys should get the idea

springpoint

Well this is what happend i was talking to a breeder the other day not going to say any names, and he has a nice young female who has a curve in her tail about 4 inches from the tip and he said he was going to have her fixed because he won't breed any dog that doesn't have a poker strait tail. he br...

springpoint

so i take it that tail defects are genetic, i'm no breeder i was more just wondering.

thanks for the replies guys

springpoint

I was wondering if you guys disquailify a dam or sire from your breeding program becaue of tail set, or if the tail has a curve in it.

I had a fellow tell me he wouldn't breed a dog that didn't have a poker strait tail i had never heard of not breeding because of a bad tail but i could be wrong>

springpoint

I'm going to make a roaing rig for my atv and i was wondering how far you guys have your dog out from the tire of the atv.

springpoint

I was wondering if anyone has used the lion country supply bird launchers and how durable they were and how they worked in general.

thanks in advance

springpoint
