Phil,

I am very sorry to hear this. Fine was a great dog. I am glad I had a chance to hunt with her. Tell Gayla Natalie and I are sorry.

cumberland

Ross, take a look at the head crank in pic 2, that should be right down your alley.

We're going back to ND the first week of Nov for pheasants. I was lucky enough to get to make two trips this year.

cumberland

Just got back from North Dakota about 8 pm last night. Had a great week, saw a ton of birds, shot my first triple ever on any kind of birds, got some very good dog work. Brought back 12 sharptails and 6 huns for consumption at home. This is from the evening I shot the triple. 6 total sharptails and ...

cumberland

I have a question for you all. In trips to Nd the past three years, I have refrained from hunting alfalfa fields or started winter wheat fields because I considered them unharvested crops and wanted to be on the safe side with the land owners. We did this even though we knew the grouse were in there...

cumberland

The she I referred to is the breeder of your Belle, Mrs. Sweeney. Your gender is not important to me nor did I try to infer it was one or the other. Here is where I have a beef with those who want to pretend they have DK's by using the Google translation. I am well aware of what Deutsch Kurzhaar tra...

cumberland

So I visited your site thinking that in order to really be able to give an opinion on DK's that you should own one and go through the testing before comparing the two. Then I clicked on Belle's pedigree and thought well maybe she does own a DK, as both parents were from DK litters. I have to admit t...

cumberland

The vet should do it where you tell them to. Most vets have no idea what the standard is on tail docking for pointing breeds, they just take a guess and chop. If you leave it to them to decide, you'll end up with a short little stub of a tail.

cumberland

I own a solid black male. Hunt him and test him quite extensively. I am going to take a little different stance on this issue. Most people tend to dismiss any dicussion about solid black GSP's as selection by color, and I view that as de-selecting by color. There are very good dogs that happen to be...

I have seen him at NAVHDA training days, but don't know enough to comment.

You could contact Joe Macowiak, his contact info is on the App Valley web site, www.avc-navhda.com under the officers page.

Updates and photo page added. Updates include segments from an interview on Deutsch Kurzhaars done with Bird Dogs Forever.

cumberland

Such a heart felt apology from Charlie that the Vetters need to thank a third party (Parshal) for it.

cumberland

Congrats. It builds confidence to know that your dog can do the work and to have others excited about your dogs performance.

Let me know if you come up this year. I have a VGP 1 dog that I would like to do that with, and I am here in KY.

cumberland

On Saturday, Harley vom Beaver Creeks finished the NAVHDA Utility test with 201 pts and a Prize 1. I'm very proud of him, and look forward to tackling the Invitational next year.

cumberland

Congrats Madonna. Well done on what appears to be a very wet day.

cumberland

Laurie was at the test we held in KY about a month before the test you were at Bruce. She tested Jed and that day.

cumberland

At the NADKC Annual Meeting on April 26th, Harley vom Beaver Creeks received the Presidents Award as the top scoring VGP dog in 2007 at NADKC hosted tests. He also received the Ehren Praesident's Gold Medallion for having the highest Prize 1 VGP last year. http://vomblauengras.com/yahoo_site_admin/a...

cumberland

I hope it turns out well for them Madonna. And good luck in your Derby.

cumberland

The Derby was in Indiana, at Dr. Ron Ferris'. The pups are mine, but bred by others, Beaver Creek Kennel in Michigan and Kings Crossing kennel in PA.

cumberland

Congrats!!! Where did he run at?

cumberland

Asia von Kings Crossing completed her Derby with a Prize 1 this weekend and also was the highest rated young female during the zuchtschau (SG1 conformation rating) Isabella vom Beaver Creeks received her adult conformation rating of V which stands for Excellent in the German system. V is the highest...

have corrected dogs with the collar in my pocket

I bet that would be quite the surprise. In this case, the back pocket would be better than the front pocket.

cumberland

Tom,

I agree tha taking him hunting is the thing to do. I'd also second ditching the semen if there is a potential genetic cause.

cumberland

I would expect it is more likely that there could be a little pointer in the line not too far back?

cumberland

On March 31st, we will be holding a Derby in Somerset, KY. Anyone interested in checking out a DK test is welcome to come observe, and we also have room for a few more entries if there are some DK owners who have yet to find a test to enter.

I've been involved in two startup chapters, Mid-South (then Mid-TN) and the App Valley Chapter. The best option IMO is to start as a sub-group under an exisitng NAVHDA chapter until you have a critical mass of 10-15 members. The insurance premiums are one of the major costs for a startup chapter, an...

cumberland

I'll try and get one on post it.

cumberland

They were uncovered, had a semi rough texture and sprayed out just like concrete. The block fit together tightly, so there were no real gaps.

cumberland

I have seen patio blocks used on a sand base. Cost is comparable to concrete, and the benefits are about the same. The patio black can be taken up easily if needed.

cumberland

Thanks for all the info so far, and I look forward to hearing more opinions. John has it right on those trips to the priaries, there were a couple of occasions the last two years in ND where I had wished I had that third shot. Once on a cripple running through I corn field where I had the OU open tr...

cumberland

My current arsenal consists of a Mossberg 835 that is about 8 or 9 years old and a Baikal OU that I paid $250 and is starting to show some significant wear. I am starting to think about getting a new gun, primarily for upland hunting to replace the OU. I have looked at new OU's, but I am now leaning...

cumberland

I'll second the wild bird contact for the pups, not enough of it around my parts.

cumberland

Mulberry Pheasantry is a nice place, been there. Not sure where Hilliard is in relation. They have a web site, could Google them.

cumberland

Most brooms I'm familiar with wouldn't send the correct message that this behavior is absolutely not acceptable. I would send that message with something more substantial. I also think that you need a little more control of the situation. If this has happened more than once, then the older bitch nee...

Bruce, I think that is an excellent point. I have never quite understood why there is so much discussion about price of puppies, and it seems it is an especially hot topic with GSPs. From a potential future breeders perspective, if the difference between $500 and $800-$1,000 make that much of a diff...

cumberland

My male pup didn't get full control of his bladder until around 6 months, and I have a friend with a 5 mo male old pup that is dealing with the same issues. I think it is a male thing as our newest female pup has no problems. Best advice i can give is to hang in there and he will eventually develop ...

cumberland

Yer worried 'bout the wrong end of the dog!!

Wisest thing I've read on here in quite a while.

cumberland

That's who I was thinking of, but I couldn't remember his name.

cumberland

What level of training does he want? Good dog trainers in KY aren't real common. There is a guy in Berea, but I don't have much experience with him.

cumberland

An alternative view: Some understand the DK scene and the GSP scene well enough to make a decision and have, with sufficient knowledge and forethought, deliberately chosen to play in the GSP scene. There is nothing wrong with that Greg. My comment was geared strictly towards those who argue that th...

cumberland

There were actually 105 DK pups born/registered in 2005, I'm not sure of the total number of DK's in the US currently, maybe the 800 or so is correct. I have come to the conclusion that DK's aren't for everyone, and it is not because of the perception that they may be sharp or hard headed because th...

cumberland

That is a very interesting thread. I had always heard that hunting in Germany can be very varied depending on the area and that the dogs could be varied in skill levels due to the primary game in the area. I think the game populations are comparable to hear, not many guys in my neck of the woods hav...

cumberland

I am one of those guys who will tell you there is a difference. This is one of those topics that gets divisive real quick though. Genetically, the two come from the same backgrounds. Primarily the difference is in registration, DK's are registered with the Kurzhaar club in Germany (DKV) although the...

cumberland

now,what I do find offensive is when a person asks about buying a pup from someone,and another steps in and trys to sell them a pup, complicating the issue. It is called a conflict of issue. Amen to that. bunman, no, untrained puppy is worth more than about 150 dollars. Well then, I guess I signifi...

cumberland

Well done, both of you. Are you hooked yet?

cumberland

Greg,

Thanks for the trianing essays, they are extremely helpful. I hear you may be a gunner at the upcoming AVC test. I look forward to meeting you there. Running a young dog in UT.

Nice pictures Kevin. I take it Dave Roberts didn't show?

Setters are notorious for crouching when they point. My llewellin will set sometimes and when staedied up will not point without crouching. It is not as easy to style them up and it takes lots of time and patience. and I have thought about splinting it but he doesn't like a stick taped to his tail....
