Good start. Waiting to see how you put doors in.

Ken Lynch

tnbndr, that is what I was hoping people would do. Show videos of the different things their dogs do at supper time. By the way, with one or two dogs that is easy. Try it with 6 in the house. They each wait for their food dish to be put down and their name is used to release them for their food. Not...

Ken Lynch

What is your feeding time like?

Sorry for the darkness of the picture. Only have an old camera that does not do well in low light. :roll:

I could not resist. I use this sometimes when training dogs. http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac356/KennethRLynch/P7290004a.jpg I cannot tell a lie. The picture was taken back in '01. The seat cover is now worn out and the battery is dead. It is now snowed in out in the barn. The only way I can us...

Has anyone ever used one of those wireless thermometers to monitor the inside of the dog box while it is in the back of the truck during a typical days activity? The kind that can record max high and low. They sell them as indoor/outdoor weather stations. I have used them to keep track of the temp i...

Ken Lynch

Welcome. Saw your first hunt post about Kansas. Great to see new people starting out with dogs. May your future be nothing but good times and lots of fun times with the dogs.

Ken Lynch

You are fortunate that it was only a skin tare. Yes it looks nasty, but once having gone through a wound like this you learn that it is not as life threatening as it first appears. For those that have not butchered their own animals (hunting or domestic) for food, the shock of seeing red is traumati...

There is an old saying…”Necessity is the mother of invention.” These devices did not come to be because some inventor sitting in a back room came up with an idea and then went out into the world to sell it. They came about because someone had a problem that could not be solved with what they current...

As soon to be Great Grandmother Mousse reclines in the chair, her daughter Feather and grand children Butterball, Pic, Pixie, and Pie wait patiently for sounds of Santa arriving on the roof. http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac356/KennethRLynch/Christmas2010.jpg May next year be your best one yet. :D

Ken Lynch

Tried the subject of clicker training a while back on one dog. Things went well. However I created a problem without knowing it. :oops: As part of the training you start to work in a verbal command with the action desired. The clicker is used as a signal to the dog that he did it correctly and there...

Ken Lynch

I need all the help I can possibly get. Put me in also.

Ken Lynch

If it works, DO NOT CHANGE IT. DO NOT MESS WITH IT unless it breaks.

Ken Lynch

Hi folks. I am going to try and get this thread back on track with the following comments. First and foremost the original question was directed at HUNT TESTS not field trials. That being said I have the following comments to further that discussion. First and foremost before you can go asking quest...

Ken Lynch

Congratulations to all that made the second series. More Congratulations to those that survived and walked away with hardware and ribbons.

Ken Lynch

For those waiting for a pedigree go to http://www.pointgoldkennels.com/Pointgo ... terate.htm. Anyone recognize any of these names or know the lines behind those shown on the pedigree? Most Australian dogs go back to German lines.

Ken Lynch

Charlie,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, PawVillage's database is very small (6674 entries) and does not have the depth necessary to find the dogs I am after.

Ken Lynch

Thanks for the offer to do some research. I can give you a few more bits of information which might help narrow the time frame to look in. Donner Horn's Zella was whelped 7/2/1970. However, she is down a chain, 5 generations of non titled dogs removed, from MAGGIE MAY WARNER who was whelped 7/25/198...

Ken Lynch

What I have looks impressive but is the combined work of multiple people before I ever came along. I started by purchasing a database program which also had a fair size GSP database to start with. I then entered as much information about the dog lines that I have. It is amazing how when you go back ...

Ken Lynch

I am looking for any information on a GSP named Donner Horn's Zella. The dog was whelped 7/2/1970 and the listed breeder is Robert Shain. I am trying to find historical information on the grandparents and great grandparents for this dog. If possible I would like information to contact the breeder.

Ken Lynch

Thanks for the suggestion. However, nothing is that easy.

Ken Lynch

I am just trying to fill in my dogs pedigree as far back as I can go. Hear is an example of what I am looking for. Behind all my dogs is a bitch PINE CREEK'S GRETCHEN. Her pedigree is as follows. http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac356/KennethRLynch/PineCreeksGretchen.jpg Down her dam side, 4 gener...

Ken Lynch

This stuff goes back farther than what AKC has put in their online database. Pre 1978. I recognize the danger on non certified pedigrees but do the best I can to verify what I get.

Ken Lynch

Is there an existing forum where one can go to get dog pedigree research help? For instance I am trying to find GSP ancestors for DONNER HORN'S ZELLA? I have information on the dogs sire HARD OIL SAM II. However, I need further info on the dam HARD OIL LULU.

Ken Lynch

Let me see if I have this right. So the real benefit of Dual Sanction events is for those who whish to strive for titles in both organizations. They get the chance to kill two birds with one stone rather than have to attend two different events to accomplish the same thing. That is a financial consi...

Ken Lynch

I am a little confused now. Are you saying that in my example had my dog been AKC only registered, then the win would only apply to an AKC title? If so what is new about this discussion above and beyond what has been going on for years?

Ken Lynch

Ok let’s get some answers to the following situation. I have an AF only registered dog. I enter one of these dual events and win. I get AF Champion title. What do I get on the AKC side? 50 dog entry so normally AKC would say 5 points toward AKC Field Championship. Does AKC recognize my AF registrati...

Ken Lynch

Wish I had found this forum earlier. I spent part of July, all of August, and first week of September on the UP with some friends training pointing dogs. Looks like you guys are in for a good bird season. Would have liked to met M1Tanker and FrozenTundraGSP. Which part of the UP do you call home? M1...

Open to the public. Check out http://www.tmthuntingpreserve.com/ Or are you looking for private clubs?

Ken Lynch

I only got out 3 times last year and sent in 7 wings. 2 of the 7 were adult males. 2 of the 5 females were immature.

Ken Lynch

I hope you mis-typed and are hoping to keep the trial to three days and not two. Looking forward to a fun 3 day trial. See you there.

Ken Lynch

Wish I had been at the event. I have not been to that section of the country. From what I heared it was windy and cold. It was the first one that I missed.

Ken Lynch

The answer as to why the black GSP is allowed in all other AKC events other than the show ring is because no other AKC event requires adherence to the USA GSP breed stand as a condition to participate. The presumption is that all GSPs judged in the show ring up until the time the standard put forth ...

Ken Lynch

So much has been said so far that I am no longer sure where to start with a train of thought. So many people have liver dogs that contain dogs in their lines that came from lines from outside the USA, it is not funny. Those foreign lines allow and in fact have black GSP dogs in them. Even in the USA...

Ken Lynch

I am not sure how the voting on the standard change went on the earlier votes. However, on the last vote, for those that voted, greater than 2/3rds were in favor. I believe that the number of members voting was the highest anyone could remember. But because the number of votes was near but not 2/3rd...

Ken Lynch

Hi Brenda, From my point of view I would have to say both. When out on the road competing I would find people in both camps (bench & field) that thought that I was doing the right thing. However, there were as many that also always were saying that well your dog cannot win group, best in show, or a ...

Ken Lynch

Hi Art, The field has never been the problem. The black GSP has always been allowed. The closed eyes are not just in the “show ring”. Yet it is also some of the field people who are “closed eyes” on allowing the black in the show ring. There are people out there that are dieing to get a chance to pr...

Ken Lynch

Chris, I find it interesting that you tout the black GSP as the all good hunting/field dog and that you fight to keep it pure. However, you do not have one on your avatar. Does this mean you do not own one? You state “I never said black GSPs are all "great" hunting dogs nor are they superior to all ...

Ken Lynch

I for one would kill to own the first DC Black GSP in America. What confuses me is when people like Chris Benskin think that the only reason the black GSP is such a good hunting dog is because the black GSP is not allowed in the show ring only in the USA. This is the same thinking that must lead one...

Ken Lynch

To all that read this forum. I do not have anything to do with this dog. I happened to be there at the event to run my puppy in the walking stakes and had my camera. I had first met Jen & Dennis Hazel a few years back at a field trial when they first started out. When I found out that the dog had fi...

AFC Wolf Plain Brooks Sally MH took a 4 point first place win in the Open Gun Dog (retrieving) stake at the NUTMEG GSPC Filed Trial this past weekend. The win completes her requirements for AKC Field Champion title. She is now FC AFC Wolf Plain Brooks Sally MH. So what you might say. A lot of dogs a...

Ken Lynch

Not trying to hijack the discussion. Just pointing out the fact that if both parents are healthy and have the characteristics that you like then heredity is in your favor in that the puppy will inherit those characteristics. That being said environment then comes into play on how those inherited cha...

Ken Lynch

Funny that no one has asked what the dam and sire are like. Was it a line breeding or an outcross breeding? Are both, dogs that you like and wish you had? If so, chances are in your favor you will end up with a dog something like them.

Ken Lynch

How old is the puppy? Build Johnny House with solid wall up at least 5 feet high. Have an area up high in the house where you can trap part of the birds in the Johnny House. Put a door on this area so that you can free fly the birds from the house. Then take the puppy for a walk into the area where ...
