Steve that was a good one. Their tails never curl.

bondoron

Thanks for the reply Margaret. From all the input I am getting I will just push the birds and worry about the fur when he gets steady on the birds. I will start the fur retreiving earlier though once I FF.

bondoron

Thanks for the reply. The pup I am getting is from vom KELJER (D) litter.

bondoron

I am picking up a DK in a couple of months. I have been doing alot of research on them and I really like the idea of hunting fur with him. I guess I am just kinda curious as to how you train a pup for fur and birds the same time.

bondoron

Studies have also shown that the optimal time to bring your pup home is at 49 days. That's why I don't listen to most studies. Studies seem to always contradict themselves. I like picking my pup at the 7 week mark or a little early just because as the pups get older the dominant ones seem to get mor...

Livestock? If you think of dogs as livestock, I think you are missing out on alot of things.

Now I have seen direct imported German dogs of a couple of breeds that are a little tough on other dogs, but that's the way they want them I guess.

What breed are you refering to?

bondoron

I was happy to see -10 below this morning. First morning in 4 it hasn't been below -20.

bondoron

I guess I will probably never understand. This is a dog that comes from Germany but we in America don't agree with their standards? Maybe I am just missing something.

bondoron

Unless you are going to buy a show dog, why do you care? You are right I don't care about showing dogs. I don't even own a black GSP. I just don't understand how the color black isn't recognized, but the color has been in shorthairs for a very long time. I just wonder why and how they decided on th...

bondoron

Ezzy, I realize how it works. I am asking if anyone thinks there is a chance that this will ever happen.

bondoron

Sorry I stated that wrong. I meant do you thing the black GSP's will ever be allowed in the AKC standards?

bondoron

Do you guys and gals think AKC will ever ok the black color for GSP's?

bondoron

I must be in the minority here in WI. We have deer crawling out of the wood works here. I filled four tags opening morning and was done. I live in Cumberland and hunt in the Prarie Farm area. We all did great there.

bondoron

Sartell, congrats on the up and coming pup. Now the long wait begins.

bondoron

welcome aboard rottngrl. I gotta ask, what is Schutzhund?

bondoron

It's about 5 degrees here. I wish it would get colder, need more ice on the lakes. I got alot more ice fishing to get in. I'm lazy I like driving on the ice.

bondoron

Sartell Pointer, I think a pup out of either litter would be good. Like I said talk to Carey and tell him what you want and he will steer you the right way. I mean if he has the type of dog you want. I don't know if you called Dan at Dankar Kennel, but he got a pup out of the litter I did, and his p...

bondoron

Sartell Pointer, first let me say I am not saying to buy or not to buy a pup from Carey. However Klaus and Gretel are both great dogs. If you look at my pegiree in my signature you will see her sire is Blitz who is out of Klaus and Gretel. He will be running his VC this year. Howie (the owner of Bli...

bondoron

I still can't figure out why people want close working pointers.... When I was looking for my pup I wanted a close working dog. The reason is I hunt Grouse 99% of the time in thick cover. If my dog isn't always in sight than she has to hold point on a spooky bird while I try to make it to her. Alot...

bondoron

Thanks for the replys. I am not asking about breeding my dog (she is only 9 months old) I don't plan on breeing her I am just wondering how close dogs can be breed without getting negative affects. Larue I was interested in those pups you had this spring because I saw all the dogs that crossed in th...

bondoron

I am wondering if breeding a dog to it's grandparents pup would be too tight. Thanks...

bondoron

My GSP is 5 months old now and it seems like her nails are almost brittle. 1 or 2 of her nails almost seem like they are just shells and some of them have cracks in them. It is kinda hard to explain but maybe someone knows what I am saying. Anyway I am curious if this is some sort of deficiency poss...

bondoron

What exactly is International Champion? I know it is for comformation and you have to get 3 V-1's to get it, but otherwise I have no idea. Where are they held? Who holds them? Sorry probably a dumb question but I have no idea.

bondoron

Grant, do I need a premier membership to add pages? I have the homepage but it won't let me add more. Thanks....

bondoron

I am having the same problem. It's doing the same thing it did the other night.

bondoron

flannelberry you wrote : "I don't need a birdie dog - that can be the next one. I don't yet have my hunting lic although pplan to write this fall." I guess my question is do you plan on hunting with this dog? If not, you might want to check different breeds.

bondoron

Working now.

bondoron

Grant am I missing something? Do I need to open a new account to login where you say? It won't let me login there. Thanks...Ron

bondoron

Ruffshooter, I have the Easyshare also. I just save them as best for web, and they work perfect. If you save them as 100% they are huge.

bondoron

Thanks Ryan, worked perfect.

bondoron

Webpages too? Nice......

bondoron

Wondering if anyone can help me out. I put Cumberland WI in and the map changes it to Cumberland RI. I just put in Rice Lake instead, but if anyone has any ideas....

bondoron

I think my Wisconsin friend means 2.7% and Minnestoa is up 127% Yeah thats it Minnesota has so many birds all you southerners should come up and gett'em with a net :D :twisted: :twisted: Sorry I had to !! HMMMMM must be from Minnesota to screw up those #'s that bad. :lol: :lol: 4 Paws I saw that to...

bondoron

I am kicking around the idea about buying a CZ Canvasback. Just wondering if anyone here owns one and what they think of it. Thanks.

bondoron

My goal would be to get my pup ready for her NA run. Don't know if it will be this year or next spring.

bondoron

I second Pear on this one. Nice to see another GSP owner.

Welcome.

bondoron

GRIFF MAN, don't forget home of beer too.

bondoron

Ryan I feel you pain. Mine is great in the house also. When she hits the field there is too many other things to do than listen.

bondoron

craigm what a small world.

Just make sure to pick the right one.

JK

bondoron

How wrong did this topic go?

bondoron

I have been catching my pigeons out of silos. The short ones (40 footers) and empty.It is pretty easy actually. If you are afraid of heights it won't work tho.And you need a helper.

bondoron

craigm, I can't think of any Lepaks right now. I went to school with one but that was when I lived by Milwaukee. I actually sell beer in the Birchwood area, so I know some people over that way also.

bondoron

Mntngoat, you must have been really bored.

bondoron

I noticed a small increase here. Hoping for much more though. I would agree in wanting to see the #'s come up.

bondoron

Cumberland WI here.

bondoron

Ruffshooter, that is a heck of a way to teach Force Fetch.

bondoron

I know it doesn't mean a whole lot, but the WI DNR is reporting drumming up 27%. I hope this means the pop. is on its way up again finally.

bondoron

Thanks for pointing that out Ezzy. I was just going to let it be, but yes my PUPS sister was 96 days. My sister is 7395 days old and in no way has any connection to the sister of my pup. For here on out I will just say litter-mate.

bondoron

That tail must have been really long if that much is left after it was docked. JK Welcome aboard.
