Doc...you just focus on the ABC chukar classic....that's your current issue

Chukar12

C'mon... I don't know why but I actually read that link on "myths." Unsubstantiated. Nature is an increasingly cruel and brutal place the further down the food chain we travel. Wolves do not choose to wait weeks to eat, they are opportunists as well as hunters and would eat daily if they could. When...

I have only been at this a bit under 5 years but I have seen such a limited amount of this "gamesmanship" it is hard for me to fathom the levels or consistency of this that can sour folks. To me, as mentioned earlier, those who are working too hard are terribly transparent and they take away from th...

NICE SHOW PUG!

Doug, That information is spun. It does not give figures, the held up and or denied applications are multiples to 1 over progressive groups...and of course it does not find evidence linking it to the white house, and if it does (and I doubt there is any evidence to Obama) the only way to know that f...

Ray nailed it... ...professionals do not need to do anything to do anything nefarious to beat most of us amateur handlers. The best proof of this may be to judge an AKC Open Gun Dog one day and then judge the same dogs the next day in an AGD running under their owners...sometimes the performances do...

This is getting CRAZIER by the moment!!A dog runs into a dog on point, and the force of which almost causes a dog to: "darned near gets killed" ? It being so traumatic that the dog spent the rest of its life hunting alone because: "can no longer hunt in a brace "?This place is a ZOO for unbridled W...

You are wrong, I am not helping him. I am merely correcting a posters bad information (yours) so that folks who made need help don't get the wrong idea. I am more than used to exceptionally amateurish and limited experience posters getting louder and resorting to name calling et al in hopes of build...

I don't know the person...and I am not assuming anything. You have a body of work that either clarifies what you do and don't know, or you are purposely saying things that learned know more about to get a reaction. either way i suppose it gets you through the wretched winter. Remember, you are deali...

I came home to find a window broken out and asked my son who was playing baseball if he did it. He said no, that a big windstorm just came up and it carried a rock right through it. I wasn't there to see it. I can't imagine it happening. I guess by your logic I was wrong to disbelieve my son? Some ...

The good news is that there are clear guidelines and consequences for dog and people problems at a field trial. Conversely, hunting club parking lots, fields, dog parks, Petco, front yards, etc...where the preponderance of horror stories occur are generally unmitigated and inhabited by bias and blin...

Tons of Lobo...out of my Sonny dog and a bitch I own out of a dog owned by Al Ahston in Reno, Lobo's Rebel Dogg...full pedigree is at the bottom of my posts..I think, if i did the deal right.

Chukar12

Slistoe, There is actually two dogs there. The one in most the pics the smaller one has a ton of Lobo in him, the other dog is his Daddy and has it as well but its back aways...but Patch is doubled up on it.

Chukar12

It is the judge's job to set the pace, and the handler's job to show the judge the dog. A handler 1/2 a mile (or considerably less) ahead of the judge's aren't showing the judges much and will probably get reeled in from said judge. The handler and the judge should ride at a comfortable pace and the...

Post your spring training pictures...if you are getting any spring..

Chukar12

can you imagine the chaos and extended time a trial would take if handlers had to go look for dogs on point? As described earlier, it is simply the scouts job to cover ground that it would not be practical to have handlers judges and galleries going in multiple directions.

Chukar12

Ok...ok...ok...you new people out there, listen carefully, if you intend to hunt grouse or woodcock in Michigan or Pennsylvania (I think it was PA.?) do not buy an all age breeding. Furthermore, i you happen to own dog of this ilk I will have to ask that you surrender it immediately to the proper au...

It's hard to understand what you haven't experienced...how long would you last with birds a mile a part and in a 1000 foot of elevation change? is the world small or just the mind? http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/chukar12/IMG_0115.jpg http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/chukar12/2011Re...

Chukar12

Conformation is how a breed is defined, and Field is what their job is. Both are equally important along with temperament. All 3 things are what, in the end, defines a breed. No one of the 3 should ever be seriously lacking or they should not ever be considered for breeding. I am going to agree wit...

In ND, in the grass, the dog that takes a line 1000yds quartered on the wind just ran by 80% of the grassland in front of me....and a lot of game too. What's wrong with the birds that are in front of me?? What you are describing is sport....ball room dancing....the ballet....the high wire...dock ju...

Take a breath. In . Let it out slowly.What is the back story?.. Is she responding to questions about her actions, or the agency actions. If hers, then the fifth may apply. She is a citizen.

Bill,

Thanks for sharing that...impressive dog work without mention of one's purpose and or differences in training. I enjoyed the break from work.

I do basically what Don mentioned above. Whether it is a silhouette or a dog, i bring the "learner" in and pop the bird on first sight...by now all the dogs are stop to flush broke and they should stop at the flush. If they do not i back up. In a repetitions the dog cues in that a bird will flush if...

Skye he sounds like a great dog with a great home, your pictures are very nice...congratulations. I am sure with your NSTRA experience you know how to contact Arlette and Nolan (his Montana summer camp is at least in the west for you) they usually have pups coming consistently.

Cool picture...what's your current dogs breeding?

Come see us at the Britt trial at Boyce corral in April...October is too long to let your setter wait

Chukar12

I am not sure this is a popcorn event? Does American Field list conformation anywhere? The preponderance of pointer folk I know could not give a rat's fat elbow what the AKC has to say. What little fussing there is at those trials is reserved for arguing over field related performance and rules.

Chukar12

Why would you use an LOL or defend yourself, did you see what was written in bold in your quote? You are wrong and yet you still blindly pursue the same path. Field trials and or any volunteer organizations including the PTC and Little League are far better off without people that lack the self este...

WOW!!! How the heck did my comment about the need for the next generation of hunters...who will be members of the competing/testing ranks...get turned into another squabble??Maybe the problem is we're to busy kicking each other in the "tukas"....makes us ripe pickins for those that would like to se...

Chukar12

I never quite understand the mentality of people who make unsubstantiated suppositions. Field trials and tests in all their forms with positives and negatives acknowledged are a measurable way to determine abilities in a dog you may never see. If you are a hunter and you choose dogs from highly succ...

Chukar12

No Evan, this is a long confusing thread. I was referencing pre collar corrections...the old days...hands on corrections AFTER you actually caught the dog.

Chukar12

They understood after enough reps and if they were tough enough to take it. I will be speaking in code to some but you will understand based on your education...the dog was notified at the transgression then came a correction...the notification generally a loud you SOB. Often times dogs get pulled o...

Chukar12

Polmaise I believe he is saying he couldn't imagine catching the dog if that was his option. In days of old they had to saddle up and ride hard to catch a dog like Elks and they had a tendency to make the correction worth their effort. Softer dogs had little chance their odds are much better today

Chukar12

No one has mentioned the collar to "run down a dog" The collar is used to make corrections at a distance immediately on an untethered animal. In my case always after a long process of behavioral shaping and overlaying the collar on cues taught at the end of a lead. The" running down" talk comes into...

Chukar12

Unseen...yes. However, unless your comment was tongue in cheek or a misrepresentation mine cannot be anything but accurate. Any and all disciplines in dog training whether they be bird dogs or otherwise have established that enhancing or correcting behavior has a diminishing effectiveness as seconds...

Chukar12

Mike...you ran a lot? Then you had to make too many corrections because you were too late to be as effective as you should have been.

Chukar12

That's correct and retracted you could only have them in 18" as they would meet in the middle of the larger diameter piece

BVK wrote:Chukar 12: I thank you a great deal for sharing your plan! Could I run two dogs from each drop (eye bolt)?

Sure...just put a splitter to the harnesses usually they are sold where you get leashes or collars or you can make a short splitter with chain and swivel snaps

Chukar12

All it takes is a three foot piece of 1-1/2 square tubing stock, and a three foot piece of 1-1/4 to slide inside. Attach the 1-1/2 with u bolts to your quad rack, and drill the end of the piece of 1-1/4 on the end to install an eye bolt to attach your harness to. Slide the 1-1/4 into the 1-1/2 and d...

Oilcan, I think the pros and cons have probably been covered. When the blustering and posturing has subsided I think you will find this. It is harder to keep a dog broke than not, if your desire is manners in dog work and the only thing that will scratch your itch while hunting is shooting birds the...
