subatomicstang

Looking for my first blank pistol for use in traning and hunt tests. What do you guys recommend as good priced and reliable also what ammo or poppers? I am new to this.

We are going to run our 6 month old in a junior hunt this weekend. What all do we need for this? Is there a specific dress code? If someone could give me a run down of what we should wear what if any special collars leads? guns ? Whatever i need to have.

subatomicstang

thanks for all the help guys. I am sure the field 90 will be better for me I like the layout on the controls better anyways it looks old school to.

subatomicstang

I do like the sound of the field 90 expandable to 3 dogs. 359.00 i can get it with one for now then upgrade later on when i have the funds.

Randy - It has a half mile range and a dial intensity changer...those are two things I do not like. A half mile range sounds like a lot, but that is a half mile under ideal conditions. In cover or in hilly terrain that range can drop dramatically. I do not like rotary dials for a bunch or reasons. ...

Randy - If you ae looking for a tritronics collar there are two things you can do. First check the TriTronics website. They were running a deal where if you sent in a broken TT collar you would get a hefty discount on a new unit. If it is still in effect, see if you can scrounge up an old, broken T...

Well after further investigation I returned my pro 200 to Cabelas and I am waiting on a new G3 Upland! It looks like on the G3 they moved all of the buttons on the back to the front. They also replaced the screw in type antena with a fixed one. The website says the fixed antena will help acheive th...

YEah we just got our first two eggs after 4 days of having the pigeons, and noticed the female was sitting at night and there was no male sitting at day so after candling the eggs are no good.

hopefully they will lay some more.

subatomicstang

I read about 18 19 days. Should be able to candle the egg at 7 days see how its doing.

I just placed my order for perfection kennels perfect start/finish dvd set. Do they go into e collars?

subatomicstang

**Perfect Start Perfect Finish** I also read alot of books and none of them made sense for all of the training. Once I watched Perfect Start I thought the Earth stopped it rotation. This was the one method that made common sense for everything that was taught. The videos will cost you less then spe...

I have been in the dog fence business for several years, so email me if you have questions about the invisible fences. I have trained over 5000 dogs to the invisible fence and several of those are hunting dogs. I have never had a dog confused by the fence but its important to time the events to not...

subatomicstang

IS an e collar and a invisible fence a bad thing if both used on same dog? I am thinking of getting invisible fence to barrier our work shed so the dogs wont get into things. Now is the correction in the e collar the same as the invisible fence collar ? Will they get confused ?

subatomicstang

Thanks guys. So can you use the collar for even obediance commands, such as sit, heel, come, etc? Our male hit 6 months and is starting that whole "I dont care what you say, I aint doing it!" stage and giving us the middle paw. He knows the commands but unless he feels like it, he wont do it. I was...

subatomicstang

12 by 6 ft kennel. I understand the whole misuseing of these devices and to only use them for commands you know they know. I suppose it would be great to be able to get their attention when they arent right in your hand.

My wife has been talking about getting an e collar for the dogs. What are the pros and cons of these things neither of us have ever used them. I understand if they are not used properly it may be very damaging to the training. So basically i need some opinions and also if anyone had a specefic model...

Well i have great news My wife says that we have 2 pigeon eggs alreayd !!!! I am excited!! Only 4 days in and we have eggs ! What are the chances these things hatch and what not? How long before they might make a baby?

Now we may end up changing the registered name of our male pup. Oy vey!

Ughh not really change just the addition of SRB's

subatomicstang

I wouldnt put him down until i knew he was in pain. If he is not then he would just be the couch potato he deserves,
Good luck with it

Most Gsps do very well in the kennel,most every one that owns a GSP owns more then one & they spend time in the kennel or crated when everone is away & do well when let in the house for periods of time.They love human affection & the more you give the more they want to please.Good Luck with what ev...

I like

Hopes big chance, Hopes second chance, and relying on hope.

I also like the initials idea i wish i would have thought about that before i registered my pups name. Is it to late to ammend?

This sounds like a form of attention getting and the dog repeats this form of behavior when ever you grab his nose for a correction of his vocals . what really works is a shot of binaca breath spray(you can pick it up at your local gas station since it is for people)in his mouth. it is very efficti...

I hope we dont get into free feeding it would be hard to diagnose any problems and know exactly what and when he ate last. Ill just stick to the program we have in place now. He chokes on his food sometimes but i have never seen him bloat. Besides i think fatty faticans would founder if we let him a...

How do you teach pigeons to drink from a nipple waterer?

-Randy

subatomicstang

No big deal! I mean hey some pickup sooner than other but that doesnt mean it will be better in the longrun! I am satisfied with his progression

-Randy

subatomicstang

I think when we first fly them ill just send out 2 so in case they keep going ill still have 4 more. But maybe they will do some mateing and lay some eggs before long. Is there anything I need to do like put on some barry white or maybe an ambiance light? haha

I look and see GREEN GRASS....We havn't seen any grass here since first snow and now we are A$$ deep in snow and anywhere between 0 and -25 deg F below zero for a month now. Its pretty ruff on the pup to even get her to go out and squirt when she needs to. Nice looking shorthairs ! Thank god for FL...

Those are two nice looking gsps. Glad Hope's got a home where she'll be used with birds. It sounds like Toby's doing well with his point, considering he's 5 months old and that was his 2nd time around birds. Nice coop, but I forwarn you--it will never look so clean again! :lol: Denise Yes i blieve ...

Hubbie chiming in here. We do not currently hunt our dogs these are the first gsps or gundogs we have had the pleasure to own. February 6 and 7th we will be at our first hunt test we are super excited! Just letting him be a puppy and get real excited about the birds soon we will be getting a little ...

subatomicstang

Then whatever we find to power it for a dogs life will somehow give them cancer or something! It does seem much more conveniant to have a micro sized collar attachment thats water proof and tough.

WE have a 5.5 month old pup, and sunday we are adding a 2nd dog she is a year to 1.5 i am guessing. She was a rescue thats why i dont know for sure. Is it a problem keeping these guys together?

I ordered 4 nipples from farmtek.

subatomicstang

Were you able to find a recipe for them? Maybe killdeer purlo or killdeer pie?

subatomicstang

If you use a 4ft length of 4 inch PVC with the nipple about 6 inches of the floor you really don't need an addition resevour(sp). That will hold plenty of water for a few days unless you have n awful lot of birds. Ezzy oh ok as simple as that! I thought that the nipples would need some pressure to ...

We used a 50 gallon drum secured to the joists in our barn outside of the quail pen. We then ran a flexible rubber hose from the 50 gallon drum thru a small hole in the wall into the quail pen to our automatic waterers (they weren't nipple waterers). And it worked great! The only problem we had was...

anyone have any pics of nipple waterer systems? I want to use a holding tank mounted high and some pvc piped from it down hill and into the coop will that work? think I could use a large plastic drum and pipe into the bottom with pvc?
