I have ran in a few NA tests and the track has always been ran in fairly tall grass, if I understand this right it sounds like this was run in a bare field? Pretty tough doins for a young dog IMO. on the other hand I ran a pup in NA test once that was a completly different dog at the test then he wa...

Oh, and as for that remark about more pheasants being shot over labs than Brittanys each year. My boy limited out, a hunter with a wiem pulled one down and I missed the one I shot out. According to the DNR official tha was there when we left, those were the only birds taken that morning. I think I ...

cody

assume you are joking, but any good dog is a real hunting dog, regardless of the breed. Even the ones you don't know how to spell. I was, you would think I know how to spell it since I own one? From now on they will be known as BRITTS the greatest hunting dogs in all the land....or at least better ...

cody

I would venture a guess that more pheasants are killed over labs than any other breed.

and when did brittney spaniels become "real hunting dogs" ?

When they dropped the spaniel and started to "quarter"?

cody

good stuff, thanks for the replies.

cody

Who are the top 5 English pointer blue hens?

cody

I see, so it is a pole barn.

cody

How do you like your Morton Building?

cody

Actually, it is not outlandish And the reason we went to Germany for our first weims.

So you are saying that out of 1000 wiems only 1 will hunt?

My experience has been a little different, I have owned 5, they all hunted. Some better than others, but they all hunted.

Maybe I am just lucky

cody

that is some neat looking country

cody

I have been wondering the same thing.

So outside of a championship you cannot earn anything that will show up on a pedigree? No FC, AFC, NAFC in american field?

cody

99.9% of weims in America have no hunt, are not sold to hunting homes, and are worthless field dogs,

Easy there, you might want to change that to don't hunt not won't hunt. Even then 99.9% seems a little outlandish

cody

I just had made a few mistakes while trying to rush to prepare for a NA test, of course I did not have launchers and think they can help a great deal. Will you be testing in Utah or Idaho? Let us know how it goes.

cody

You might see if you can transfer your $100 payment to a spring test. Give her a hunting season for to figure it out, if she doesn't, you have the rest of winter to work on her. It might be a easier once she is a little older and has more experience. JMHO

cody

It dont' get much better than that

cody

That looks like it would be a lot of fun, thanks for the pics

cody

What do you mean "spin them"? Are you flipping them 180 degrees

cody

So how do you take a swarm of shot and only break wings or legs and not hit the body?
marshboy

My thoughts exactly

cody

That's great, I have a 12 week old that I am still waiting for the first point, I want it on wild birds as well. Maybe if I quit running her with the old dog she might have a chance.

cody

how old is the pup?

cody

It is semi-public knowledge in that industry, I don't expect it will be to much longer and there will be a article on it. Are you in this industry Ezzy?

cody

It is happening in the QH racing world already. A big player in the game came forward and admitted he had cloned a mare of his multiple times, they were not registered, but he did in case they allow them someday. At that time he said 36 other people had cloned horses but no one else has come forward...

cody

you might try lake lowell if you want somewhere close with water, never been there myself but I do drive by quite a bit. It might be closed for nesting season. Fort Boise in Parma shouldn't be to bad for you either, don't try hunting pheasants there unless your willing to belly crawl and take on a l...

cody

Does anyone have any experience with this beeper collar? I have a line on a NIB for cheap but I can't find any reviews.

cody

I will admit I am completly new to the gaited horse world. I customer of mine is trying to sale me a 1/2 QH, 1/2 Saddlebred. He has nothing but saddlebreds and uses them for everything (he claims), I just don't understand the major difference's between TWH and a SB.

cody

What's the downside to them? Compared to a TWH

cody

Do people every use saddlebreds for trials or hunting?

cody

Man, you are running out of forums. Didn't you just leave the UBD a few days ago.

cody

The dog would be "reprimanded". Hows that?

cody

I don't know there is very much I'll wallop a dog over

I know one thing I will wallop a dog over and that is barking for no reason

cody

I actually have a lot of respect for a dog that can run a fur track, I just expect them to be baying while they are doing it.

cody

Ya gotta have some fur in there to be versatile, don't ya know

cody

Rich,

Do you just keep them in the harness for a while and then put them up or do you release them from the harness and let them hunt from there?

cody

Adam, Sorry didn't mean hijack your post. You could probably find some club training days or NAVHDA events in your area, they give you a chance to look at all the different breeds and if you are like me you will probably want one of each. :) The only thing that might be a problem with the versatile'...

cody

I just get tired of hearing how other breeds who were designed to be specialists can do it just as well as any other breed We owners of "specialists" get tired of hearing how versatiles can do it as good or better in the field. That gate swings both ways These Brittany and other "wannabee versatile...

cody

There is a NAVHDA test in a couple of weeks, you can check there website for directions and exact date. They encourage people to come out and watch.

cody

Somehow I think that Brits, Setters and Pointers not being accepted by the versatile crowd is not such a bad thing anyway.

cody

Guess it depends on how you define a versatile dog. I would venture to guess there are a good number of versatile britts, setters and pointers out there, as well as GSP's and GWP' s that are not.

cody

Maverick,

Here is a site you might find some good stuff on. http://www.uplandidaho.com/ Not quite the same as UBD but still pretty good.

cody

I have always thought it interesting watching herding dogs that the seem to have a natural "look" when they first start. My brother trains some and to me the way they "look" or "stare" down cattle or sheep is not to far removed from a point. He has had dogs that have to much stare sometimes as they ...

cody

uhhh, lemon and white........... couldn't be the EP shining through could it?

cody

Thanks for the info

cody

I have pretty much decided on a English pointer for my next dog and I just read in another thread that there can be quite a difference between AKC and AF lines of EP. Anyone like to enlighten me

cody

3britts,

where are you located in Northern Utah? I was born and raised in Fielding

cody

My name is Cody, I am 34, I have a wife and 2 year old son with another kid on the way. I was born and raised in Northern Utah but I am now sales consultant in the Boise Idaho area. I used to do NAVHDA, Hunt tests and trials with a couple Weims that I owned, but got away from it over time. I know ha...

cody

EK-

I was a huge Kjelgard fan when I was a kid, I think I read them all. Loved; my side of the mountain, summer of the monkeys, savage sam and another I can't think of. Very similiar list to yours.

cody

I actually waited to long and lost it to someone else. I seen her on craigslist but I didn't act quick enough and she was gone when I called. He was asking $ 200 for her and $ 100 for a black and white gsp he had. Thats what I get for researching it, I should have just acted.

cody

from what i know, no titles or anything. He claims she is broke but I am assuming a started dog. Assuming she is started i was thinking she is worth a $800 to a $1000 but I just wanted some other opinions

cody

I have a line on a 2 yr old, Female, GSP that is by NFC GK's NUKE IT and out of ZIEGLERS DIXIE by RUSTY"S BLUE EARTH, the owner says she is broke but needs a little tightening up. Assuming everything is true that he is telling me, what is a dog like this worth. Even if she is not broke what would sh...
