along with my Mec 600jr reloader came 1,000 CCI 157 primers- I have no use for them

ah this might be the wrong place- should it be moved over to guns and amo

move it if it should be over there- ok

Shadow

Shadow, Those dogs look too big to be Britts. What'd you mix in with the Britt blood? :lol: . ahh he's just a little fella, not fully grown- short legs, no go- the picture is deceiving, you know how the camera plays tricks 8) I'm thinking along the line of AZ- hey AZ- you design something and come ...

Shadow

Az- here mine don't care if it's cold, warm, or hot- I'd like to know how long these high powered GSP can go without water

being that I can't find any water within 60 miles of me

Shadow

jer_allen- just to put it in perspective- and there are more folks here with higher powered Britt's than these besides the "setter" these youngsters like to run- oh- they don't know much besides find birds you never did say what sort of dog you have http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj7/layoutboat/...

Shadow

well said Ray-

I think my male would enjoy a nice big run with a GSP- course I need to figure how he can carry water to drink- and get him to believe it's ok to ignore me

Shadow

well- as long as we get to give our Brittany's water and they don't-

apoligize Andrea

I do think you should see if someone has a 22 pistol you could try out-

Big- I do smile at the pistol shooters on TV- I mean the movies-

Shadow

you don't need to go there Ezzy- there are many that because they can't shoot shouldn't be using a rifle- Big- there's some that say I was pretty good with a handgun I see no reason why he shouldn't pick up a 22 pistol and see how serious he is about practicing with it- might even find he has the kn...

Shadow

It was a just a question is why i asked. Forgive me for creating a "stir" here, i'm new to gundogs and very highly interested. I think brittanys are awesome and good looking and i've watched them hunt on TV shows. They could keep up with any bird dog on two legs anyway....maybe....... :o lol it's S...

Shadow

question is- what are the breedings of all these where he says the hunting has been bred out

that would be good for the new folks who aren't famaliar with Brittany's

Shadow

I've got Ruger Blachawk 357 Magnum that I've hunted with quite a bit- Alaska, Minnesota, Kansas- open sights- quite nice to have it strapped on the hip eyes started to let me down so I now have the Hallo Graphic sight on it- darn accurate with the proper loads I've also got a Ruger Single Six conver...

naaaaaa they must have been on some PETA forum

Shadow

ok- I get it- you're talking about the perfect dog

well- I've got one- perfect to me that is- most likely you've never been satisfied
many people will never be satisfied-

um- btw- what kind of dog do you have

Shadow

I call bull- take a look at the DC Brittany's that many have in their pedigrees- there's a reason

Shadow

give a little swatt or two every time it points fur- unless you like a fur pointer

nothing quite as funny as 30 or more mouse points when you're hunting with others

Shadow

well said Ezzy I want to look at the 5 generations- like seeing the the ones that go along the same lines- pick a pup from a proven breeding with the intent to breed later down the line then it's just a matter of reading the youngsters and bringing them along each their own way- hard to actually say...

Shadow

well said- I just had a person on another forum give me an old electric clipper set so I can give mine a hair cut

Shadow

Greg- sent you a pm

Why are you wanting to reduce your dog's energy level? Is he being destructive or are you just making a conversation? Is he an inside or outside dog?

grew up in Northern Minnesota hunting Golden Retrievers- seemed the perfect family, resort, and duck and grouse dog came down here to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and brother in law- he took me quail hunting with his female Brittany- his group gave me a young female EP- hunted her for 13 years-...

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj7/layoutboat/cold-otherhuntersareinthefield00-7.jpg thanks- 34 degrees here all day, started out rain, sleet, then snow, now sleet rain Candy isn't much to go out playing in this weather, Shadow, Lizzi, and Choc- "open the door we want out!" two quail have been ...

Shadow

small brag! man that's what we like to see- supposes you've worked him on birds- first real wild ones- he did perfect- keep on keeping on don't worry about a thing- that's what I did with my two pups about your age- let them experience the run and finding birds- any find and point at that age is sup...

Shadow

I'm interested in getting out with you and that Britt- provided you carry that camera with you :D when the pups were born I'd heard there was a place in Texas that had some quail they were trying to rid of so drove down and got 20 figured to work the pups in them- took one out for each pup when they...

Shadow

thanks southern- I do like the looks of your sam- that's a picture to put up on the wall- or computer background Lizzi is going to be slim and i suspect right arround 21 at the whithers- Choc is going to be big- feel a bit sorry for him as he can't keep even with her on the breakaway- but he's the r...

Shadow

are all the pups spoken for

Shadow

K9- those were good reading- I've seen a few veterinarian offices where the sign is posted "we fully suport the HSUS" hope this post keeps going and we hear how the IRS goes about it- plus the ones that quit sponsering- you wonder though- maybe they are just taking their name off the list but still ...

Shadow

Karen- great picture- nice looking Britt- picture looks familiar like on TV

Shadow

in town, open yards, streets- you need to do some serious thinking-

depending- I wouldn't be so quick to start making formal complaints- I lived in town for 30 years with bird dogs

Shadow

beyond repair- would you give it away

Shadow

have someone plant 5 birds and the clock starts now- 30 min- you and your dog head to head with another and his dog- who ever finds, points, holds till flush, and retrieves to hand the most and does it in style is the better dog easy to have that same thing in this field behind my house- it's a mile...

Shadow

cjuve- you should hear how yawallac conditioned his dog for NSTRA you see a Top NSTRA dog go all out for 1/2 hour- then you see that same dog go all out for an hour in a National- condition is condition- the best need it to be in top condition- conditions dictate how hard and long they can go- think...

Shadow

put up a picture or two

I like to be able to feel the ribs and hip bones

Shadow

well- look at the rules of a NSTRA trial- they ask that fields be so and so-

Shadow

I did- couldn't be happier

now I'm waiting on Heck's to get back with me on the components I need

look foarward to you and your son coming down next fall- maybe you'd like to give a sweet little 20 a try- short range stuff

Shadow

cjuve- not necassarilly- take Rangers Barshoe Angel- might still be the winnningest female in NSTRA- she could plain out cover ground I have ran against Angel several times. She is the real deal, handled by an extremely talented trainer/trialer. There are allot of dogs in that game that go as big a...

Shadow

I look at it as- you take a bunch of top dogs in any situation- planted or wild- you will see them do their job- it's the nose the real breeders are breeding for

Shadow

congrats on your Brittany pup- I had two born in July that I started in wild birds at 4 months- just go easy with yours and don't expect or work for perfection- as much bird exposure as possible is what brings a youngster along- free running time is also important- helps you two figure out what you ...

Shadow

since pups were 6 weeks old been feeding them and adults twice a day- regular schedule- pups get 1 large coffe cup, female 1, male 2 at 6:00am and 5:00pm- they let me know if I'm late- I like that they hurry up and eat and want more- better than leaving some- but my male doesn't eat all his sometime...

Shadow

I You can twist it anyway you want Neil but bottom line an hour of running in the cover of a typical NSTRA is ZERO difference then an hour of running in the other formats in terms of conditioning and excertion. There is no twisting about it, they are different venues made to evaluate different aspe...

Shadow

no I haven't- it's hard to get a decent pattern out of 6's- 2 3/4 1 ounce loads just aren't enough pellets- Citori has 2 3/4 chamber don't laugh- so used to my archery safe range it's just natural to let birds go when out arround 30 yrds- btw- you were right- Estate came back to me- same as Top Gun,...

Shadow

Heck's and Coyotes in Garden City- going to head up there- think I'll try some Lawrence brand Mag lead 7 shot
been using 8 and 7.5 on pheasants

toothe paste- made me smile

picked up a Dremel cordless 7.2 volt- Britt's toe nails- sure like the two speeds and quiet

Shadow

thanks again Greg- believe I'll stay away from the adjustable bar

nice explanation- understood

Shadow

my guess would be you find the adjustable isn't consistant

my thinking was to use Hodgdon Longshot- work up some 7/8th and 1 ounce of 8's and 7.5's-

yeh- can weigh out the trial loads and then order -and agree- not to hard to modify a bushing-

Shadow

thanks Greg- I cut one open and the base looked pretty solid- know I could buy AA shells and shoot and reload- but having all these I thought I'd give them a try looked at Hodgdon Reloading data- figure to use powder, primer, and wads that will work in both hulls- now that I know they are Federal br...

Shadow

I was given a new-in-the-box Mec 600jr reloader- have been shooting Estate Super Sport Comptetition Targe Loads- have over a case and some empty's- I'd like to look at reloading these- question- are these Federal manufactured- meaning- could I use the reloading data on Federal shells- any one have s...

well hello Streenie- you've made a good question- and I'm listening- being that we think Britt's are smart

Shadow

Have been working my 14 month old GSP on a check cord and he works well. Take the cord off, and off he goes..running like a crazy freak chasing everything with no control. So why take it off? Really. You are creating a check-cord wise monster. Put the cord on. Leave it on. Run him down and jerk his...

Shadow

Would be nice to have a Garmin to check it out. I have a heck of a time trying to keep track of where they are and its almost impossible to hunt them when the cover is heavy and I have to find them if they are on point. They sure can be hard to see when they get out 400 yds or so and they go over a...
