13" Beagle , even better if it is a puppy

Brittguy

Job well done. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Brittguy

Have you just been opening the door and letting them go out on their own . You should do this and let them fly around the neighborhood before you do any road training.

Brittguy

We have a small dog and a Britt in the house. The little dog eats slow so we feed the Britt in a crate. She loves to go into the crate. If it is near feeding time she will stand by the crate waiting. Maybe you could work out something with these thoughts

Brittguy

To me a good foot hunting dog is one that handles easy.

Brittguy

Your state may have dog training areas on their public hunting land. Once you join a club and meet other members , you will probably make friends and have training days with them in addition to regular club days.

Brittguy

A walking stake will be stated in the premium. Even if it is a horseback trial you always have the option to walk

Brittguy

I just won the book and haven't had time to read it, but I have heard from several people that they felt it was the best book around.

Brittguy

I would guess that he was protecting his find from his bracemate . I have seen this happen where a dog flash points or just runs in because he doesn't want his bracemate to get his bird.

Brittguy

Probably your training sessions are too long. For this age puppy, keep them very short

Brittguy

The trick is to find something you enjoy. If you like your work , it gives you a feeling of accomplishment , then the time spent there is enjoyable. Do you plan to ever get married? Your ambitions will be a turn off to a lot of women. Do you plan to have children? Most parents want to provide the be...

Brittguy

It is hard to tell in a picture, but he does look good and if he sometimes leaves food then you are doing alright.

Brittguy

Mine was double registered TWH and Racking. I mentioned when I first bought her I had trouble until I found the correct bit. Then she was great. I could keep her at any speed I wished.Never had to think of getting her into a cantor or gallop. She was far from lazy.Maybe I was foolish but I could get...

Brittguy

Do you belong to your local Brittany club? Some clubs are more active than others, but most have training days and you will make friends with people that have the same breed and interest. They often meet and have training days even though it is not a club function Here is some contact information Ei...

Brittguy

I don't know the reason but I have had the same experience not being able to find birds.MY friend went on a training trip to GA and VA. he could not find birds there either, so the problem is widespread.

Brittguy

Had one for 14 yrs. So much go but with all the control you wished. She is the horse my friends and me judge others from. When I first got her I had problems with her walking too fast. Arms would get tired holding her back and sometimes judges would say slow down. I finally found the right bit and e...

Brittguy

I told a friend of mine about this.... He had a very good answer. They have only had this problem once or twice and its weird how it doesn't happen to females.... The testicles on male Brittany pups need to be pulled down around 6-7 weeks or else the pup won't grow and it will then be called a hamp...

Brittguy

they have to really like where they are living. People say they will home within a very short distance but I never had much luck.

Brittguy

YES , don't keep us waiting. No shame in not knowing what she was talking about. Seems everyone on this forum doesn't know what she meant. She was at fault for not talking like an adult and being more clear.

Brittguy

I would certainly ask. I cannot imagine what she was talking about. I would have taken that to mean that he was neutered except you would have seen some sort of incision .

Brittguy

Do you think there are ever any fights??

Brittguy

for worms I use Wazine17. 1 once to a gal. of water. Take water away eve. before you are ready to worm . That way they are anxious to drink. I forget what the name of the powder is for lice. Just go to your feed mill and get product used for chickens.

Brittguy

sounds like the type of performance that kept you on edge

Brittguy

How old is he?

Brittguy

I always remove the dew claws on my puppies because I think it gives a cleaner look to the leg. I have had dogs in the past that had dew claws and have never had any problems with injuries

Brittguy

Never had this problem because I use soda (pop) bottles.

Brittguy

Never had a 28, but I think a 20 would be more useful. I wouldn't be concerned about the difference in noise.

Brittguy

for this to happen twice in a row, I would give some thought to my flushing efforts.

Brittguy

spend the money now because eventually you will buy them anyway. That way you will save the money you would have spent on the manuals.

Brittguy

You should have no problem as long as he has been properly socialized. When you seen him, watch how he comes out of his kennel and how he acts away from his regular area.

Brittguy

I have been feeding what is called Big4. which is a game bird, feed also Turkey starter etc. Birds do fine with it. I am assuming yours is a pellet not any grain. I raise a lot of babies this way.

Brittguy

Nocardia and Actinomyces are the two problems you are asking about

Brittguy

20 should do you fine. If I wanted more gun I would go to a 12. Nikegundog said it pretty well.

Brittguy

I can't add anything that has not been said. I just wait until a pup is in full chase and a fair distance then pop a blank. They never act like they hear the report.

Brittguy

When I get a new pup from great blood lines, does this mean it will be a good dog ? or Will I have to take it to a pro to make it a good dog ? getting a pup from great blood lines , put the odds in your favor that you will have a good dog. The need to send him to a pro depends on your time commitme...

Brittguy

thanks for posting. We really enjoyed .

Brittguy

when something happens immediately after doing work on an item , I usually find that it is related to the last work performed, so I would check the oil filter and drain plug. Sometimes the gasket from the old filter comes of and stays in the housing. When you put the new filter on it doesn't seal pr...

Brittguy

I would take my puppy at 7 weeks rather than waiting.

Brittguy

here is a link to a pigeon forum that is very informative http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/index.php . Look in the hall of fame post in this forum

Brittguy

Curious as to why the whole litter needed culled immediately. Seems it would be hard to make such a decision that soon unless a person just did not want the litter.

Brittguy

Same as Ezzy , I have had contact with hundreds of Britts and never saw a seizure. Years ago I did talk to a person that said they had such a problem. So I feel safe in saying it is very rare. Are you certain there is no problem with the ears. I am guessing that there would be some medication for tr...

Brittguy

I once read that you will be more successful if they do not get the treat every time.

Brittguy

Or you can just have collar clinic repair your old transmitter. Last quote I had from them was 105.00 to rework a LR200 collar and transmitter.

Brittguy

your situation would not concern me at all

Brittguy

To find a club, I would go to akc.org and look at events and award sections. There you can see up coming events in your area of interest. It also list contact information for the club secretary that is hosting the event.

Brittguy

I thought it was just my local feed store. He keeps saying it is coming in. Hasn't had Premium Adult for a couple of weeks. Tractor Supply has it.

Brittguy

He will still be able to stand and turn around, just have to keep his head lower. I would go with 24" .

Brittguy

Ditto on the aluminum. No matter how hard you try the steel will rust. Whenever you are ready to sell you will easily make up the difference in price

Brittguy

With either venue it depends on the judges. I have heard some strange thoughts from judges. How about " his find was not on the course"

Brittguy

hunt test are usually open to all breeds
