the dog made it home and the employee was canned and you still want to sue someone? who's overreacting now?
people make mistakes and companies make mistakes why/how is a lawsuit the answer?

cody

we use it on race horses quite a bit, dont see why it wouldnt work with dogs.

cody

That was a very interesting read. Thanks Solon

cody

Well, again, you can't lump setters with pointers, with a small number of great exceptions they are not competitive against the pointers as AA's and do not have more "punch" than the modern shorthair. Could you say that the small number of setters that are competitive against the pointers in AA is ...

No-Mars was a guy named Leo Mitag. He used to be around Eugene, Oregon area, where is he now? Leo did some imports years ago and had one really nice bitch. can't remember her name though. He is still around. He is in Middleton Idaho now, I was at his place a couple weeks ago and he still has quite ...

I have one dog that "pins" once in a while, she doesn't really road in on them but somehow gets them stopped by applying just the right amount of pressure. Sometimes if they hit the birds hard and are right on top of them nobody moves. It's kind of a balancing act and I think some dogs can and some ...

and 4th (only cause I'm out of shape at the moment) would be chuckars in the high country all of these i would do on foot with my dogs just to see how we held up and a guy with local knowledge to help guide us in the right direction. (wink wink hint hint to anyone who fits in to my 4 dreams) I coul...

cody

i have been wanting this for awhile

cody

Well said

cody

I couldn't agree more.

but

but I sure would like to hunt the country he roams.

right now, you better bring a snow shovel.

cody

Holy cow!

there is no place for "factual documentation" and "sources" on a internet board is there?

I guess the ball is in your court Ryman

cody

So first you say this I think that trialers DO believe that their dogs are better...they may play it down but many feel the rest of us are playing Division II ball. and then you say this That doesn't bother me...after all, its really up to me to go out with my dogs and shut folks up...that's what it...

I recently ordered the book from Jim directly, if you would like his # PM and I will pass it along.

This in reality caused a big mess in the ES Pedigree and caused forming of what is now known as the field ES.

and thank goodness for that mess.

cody

Apparently the dog clubs here just need to give up control to those in Europe, since they are the only ones doing it right.

cody

There are some sanctioned dog breeds here in the USA,

Who is this sanctioning body?

the men with the real Pedigree dogs have their own clubs here in the USA also.

Where can I find a list of real pedigreed dog clubs?

cody

Ezzy asked the question what defines a breed, the breed standard has always defined the breed, and the breed standard is usually controlled by the main club and either the accepted breed Warden or authority on that individual dog breed. Some very good point were made here in this thread, and some v...

I am still waiting for that breed standard for EP's I heard about. Where can I find it?

As someone who has met and worked around Monty Roberts, I can tell you unequivocally that he is a fraud. I was also friends with the guy who did the actual rides on the colts at his shows. That guy didn't like Monty much either, and eventually quit. I'm not saying that his methods (and I use the te...

My dad used to tell me "when you find yourself in hole, stop digging." Sound advice for many

The English Pointer genetically has changed little, because of the their repetative breeding programs, their breed standard remains the same. RGD/Dave Where might I find the breed standard for a EP? I own 8 Gordons right now, and over the years have had a few more. In fact have a litter of 9 right ...

I gathered my knowledge from my mentor, Adam Fogie who was an old time German dog trainer, he helped get Ames started long ago, and worked closely with Davis thru his life time. I am proud to say he was my mentor and that few people understood dog genetics & gun dog training as well as Adam, maybe ...

cody

I ain't gonna walk 500 yards to go shoot their birds while I know I have birds in front of me.

So why have a pointer at all? Flushers work great for birds right in front of you.

cody

Did you look for a specific lineage to fit your needs? I wasn't looking for anything specific, but when I looked at the litter the papers had some good stuff. Did the titles of the dogs play a part? yes Did you consider the health credentials in the ancestory? no Local dogs? yes Ad in a local paper?...

cody

Chukar12, let me save you some time. Every so often birddogz (husker buckeye) starts a thread like this. They start out very innocently but they will inevitably turn to "field trials are not a measure of a dog" or "pointers suck" or something along these lines. Without fail, it will end with him cha...

cody

we have a very elite business that caters only to sportsman who are very well off, and do not have the time,

so, what if I wasn't very well off and did have the time, would you train a dog for me?

cody

Great pictures, thanks for posting

cody

Thats funny, up until now I thought shadow and birdogz were the same person

shows what i know.

cody

My version is bagging 4 different species in one day. I have hit the triple a few times but never closed it out, maybe this year.

cody

You mean just "Pointer" right?
English Pointers are the dogs one finds in a Show ring.
Pointers are found in the field !

Technically what you will find in the AKC show ring is "pointers". FDSB are the "english pointers"

cody

I had two females that got into once and I honestly didn't think I was going to get it stopped in time, they were fighting to kill for sure. Never had a problem stopping males.

cody

he is stopping at scent and standing for about 45 seconds to a minute then takes off chasing and barking for awhile. I have a EP approx the same age that does the exact same thing (the barking part). She knows I don't like so she will wait until she gets clear out there and starts barking. Does any...

cody

Very interesting, I have never looked at it this way. As breeds become more "pure" Maybe it will make semen that was collected before DNA more valuable?

cody

interweb marketing works well, you gotta get there pictures out there, get your name out there. I should see pictures of your dogs so often on this website and others that I feel like I know them. Your dogs have done some things so you should have been posting in the brag section every time they pla...

She may be able to kill chickens but not MORE chickens then Birdogz

Bring it in SD! I want to see those dogs hunt cattails, efficiently. South Dakota vs. your dogs.

What good does a pointing dog do you in cattails in SD? In my experience you didn't even need a bird dog, like shooting fish in barrel, except they were flying....everywhere.

cody

They remind me of the guys that say I could have been great. Ya, but you weren't. Head to head, I will take serious money on "meat" dogs. This is confusing, if anybody is going head to head it is the FT's, they put there dogs down with the best no matter the conditions, they put there money where t...

great video's, thanks for posting

I'm riding a high backed executive model, 6 way adjustable)!!

6 way adjustable? what do you need a 6 way adjustable for, that's just showing off.

cody

Do they find birds when they are out like that or are they just running?

cody

Very nice PE

cody

of course it matters to them didn't you see "where the red fern grows"?

cody

Sounds to me like this Westwind guy has it figured out, he doesn't have the overhead of trying to put a title on a dog and he is still selling pups for more than the rest of you. I think he has it figured out?

This seems like a good idea in theory... and is something that can be replicated in training. But I have a couple questions??? How do you know that the dog is smelling the bird vs. just turning his nose into the wind? How do you know that the distance from which he 'smelled' the planted bird is suf...
