i can get a free cocker. it is out of king charles or louie or something like that. i know they dont point so it wouldn't be a upland dog but i was wondering if i could kinda train it kinda like a lab and use it for a retriever. if they are good retrievers? i dont really know much about these dogs s...

ever since i was a kid. i always mixed in wet dog food in the winter.

sjkennels

Mix breeds are always a crap shoot. You never know what you are going to get. Only thing to do is take the dog hunting and find out. Sorry i couldn't be more help. this is true. but so is every other registered pup/dog you get. yes you do have a better chance of getting a good dog its pure blooded....

i know of one guy around here with those pheasant pigeons and he is big into showing them. they kinda look multi colored. they are a show pigeon but can get up and move when you pop them out of a launcher. i like using those to train with just because they don't fly low to the ground and around in c...

sjkennels

thank you for all of your advice i moved it up too 2 1/2 cups of dry dog food and a small can of wet dog food so i will see how that works out

sjkennels

theres a pigeon thats called a pheasant there not homers but they will home back to the coop if not to far away but they are really fast flyers and as said before rollers work good they dont fly to bad

sjkennels

one thing to rember is dont hold the body and shake the head you will kill the bird and have a mess on your hands when you pop a dead bird out of a launcher and the pup trys to get the bird trust me i have done it before

sjkennels

you let me know when you wanna get out steve. i have some places where you can really let him use those legs. how about einstein is he doing ok?

i had bella inside for about 3 or 4 weeks when she was getting ready to have pups and she had a few accidents but not many all i did was let her out about every couple of hours but all she does inside is lay on my lap and sleep all the time.

sjkennels

i ran my female couple days ago guiding and it said 20 miles in a day. i know of one horse back trial dog that a buddy has and she will make a mile cast. but i had that i would run off of foot and he would run over 1,000 yards to the front and he wasnt a run off.

sjkennels

like everyone else said dont do it. my female had some shoot to close to her when she wasnt ready for it. it scared her really bad. and i got lucky i can still hunt her. it took me a year to get to where anybody can shoot over her if there are birds or no birds. and it still worries me when people s...

sjkennels

i have a gsp. and i use to feed her 2 1/2 scoops of dog food a day. and i was told that was to much food so i cut down to about 1 1/4 of a cup. now my gsp looks to skinny how much do you yall feed your dogs to keep them at the right weight with out over feeding them. she would eat her self to death ...

sjkennels

well i have had a gun problem with bella my female short hair since last year. i have been working for almost a year now to get her over this problem. i have shot hundreds of birds over her from launchers and thanks to my buddy that owns a preserve i have been going out there and shooting a ton of b...

i read on there website only thing that i could find thats scored is finds backs and retrieves. but i figured if i had well trained dog that would not break after the shot i might do better. but if all i need to do is to have a dog that will point honor and retrieve. then i only have two things to t...

i have another thread about ff my dogs before or after breaking them. but i am going to start to try and break my two short hairs after hunting season. i wanna run nstra next year so what should i concentrate my training on. my goal for starting when we get more day light is to train my dogs to be. ...

sjkennels

sjkennels

sjkennels

with it being freezing cold and the ground frozen could i just lay the hog panel down? or would i have to bury it myself? i read on one of the posts that someone said i could just lay it on the ground and over time it would bury itself. how do you guys connect the hog panel to the dog kennels?

i am wanting to put chicken wire in on top of the dirt to keep my dogs from diging out will they be able to rip it if they start to dig? and when they walk around will there toe nails get caught in the chicken wire?

sjkennels

what is a good hunting vest. the one i have now puts all of the weight on my shoulders and it gets very uncomfortable after walking a while. so whats a good vest that you guys have tried that have been really comfortable?

sjkennels

it just surprised me for it being the first time that i know of him getting to run or it is since i had him that he ran out that far and he must think he is a Lamborghini because he would see a tweetie bird a 100 yds away and he thinks he can catch it then when he couldnt he would come back and get ...

sjkennels

in the yard he comes 6 or 7 times outta ten and when he is out running it goes to about 5 or 6 and is it normal for a pup this young to be running between 60 to 200 yards my other pup never did get out that far she still doesn't get out that far

sjkennels

i knew i would be having to work with the dog. and i knew i would have limited time a day to work with him. but i work with him everyday when i get off for about ten minutes and let him run around the yard everyday after we get done with working on come. i am gonna talk to my buddy that owns a prese...

sjkennels

the reason why i am asking. is i have this pup that i got from south wind. and i dont really wanna send it to a trainer. but i work 6 1/2 days a week from sun up to just about 20 min until dark each day. is that 20 min a day enough time to work with a pup each day. to train him my self? or at least ...

sjkennels

you guys have a good point i just found a couple of things about them and read the articles they sounded like a good all around dog just was wondering what everyone thought about them the first time i ever seen one was a week ago

sjkennels

i have been reading some about these kind of dogs and they seem to be one of the most versatile dogs there are. it can go from blood tracking, to sitting in a duck blind, then sit and retrieve doves on a shoot, and then be able to point upland birds, and be able to hunt rabbits and other fur game. t...

with in picking a pup some go for getting the most bold pup in the litter. but you cant tell what kinda dog your going to end up with when picking a pup so the best thing to do is if you want the male then get that him. but if you change your mind then get the one that you like the most. may it be t...

sjkennels

i know the dog wasnt Dehydrated but i was thinking it might have been sick or the dog is unstable

sjkennels

even if she is 18 months that dont explain her doing everything right then just the one day act like she has no independence or anything and be scared of everything but you maybe right

sjkennels

yea the dog was wearing a collar

sjkennels

we could see all the dogs at any given time

i just got done guiding a pheasant and quail hunt for 2 days. and the guy i was guiding had a 18 month old Drahthaar first time i have ever seen this kind of dog. i don't know much about this pup but i do know from what he said that the dog was trained by a professional trainer. and the dog was in I...

sjkennels
