Thanks for the replies. I had been using the codura faced jeans, but had a Sand Plum thorn go through them yesterday into my shin, so decided to go with chaps that are a little more impervious.

gmanksu

Would like to know what everyone recommends for brush chaps that aren't too hot or bulky while riding and still gives ample proction from thorns, etc. A lot of guys around here swear by Wick's but since they are out of business that is not possible. Does anyone use Tiemann's or Mule Brand, if so how...

this is the only item in a google seach that came close to the Formax. Maybe the feed store you use is being bought out by a Formax branch, it looks like Sportmix is the preferred pet food of the Formax feed stores.

thanks, I will cut him back and increase gradually to see what happens

I am trying a bag of the 24/20. The dog has been on it straight about a week. Did anyone that feeds Sportmix have issues with loose stools and bad gas during he switch? If so, how long did it take the dog's system to get used to the new food? He is eating the food well and is actually putting on wei...

One issue I take is that the editorial staff of the American Field should have known that allowing an article such as the one by Mr. McKenzie to be published would create a firestorm and serve only to deepen the division in the field trial world. They did not follow their own standards that the cont...

I am trying to get a female setter transported from the Charlotte, NC area to the Kansas City area. If anyone from that area is headed this way and can help out let me know and we can work out details.

Thanks,

Robbi and Keith, I came and rode the day on Wednesday last week to watch my setter (Bud-handled by Drew Zink). Have to commend you guys on the effort it takes to look at 60 dogs in the conditions that were presented, just wish mine would have had his manners together for another 40 seconds :D But th...

I would recommend using Dr. Abel in Riley if she is still there, I used her while I was in grad school. Also if Dr(s) Carlson (husband and wife) are still located near Flush I would recommend them as well. Would say if you have horses use the Carlson's as both have been involved in the performance h...

He has his momma's eyes as well. I hope that "Jackie" or as Jerry now calls her Boom turns into the producer that her momma was, as every nick that Ballerina had produced. Good luck with him

I looked at the website but there wasn't a listing of ingredients. I looked at their 26/18 formula and it was a poultry by product meal based feed. A local feed store said they sell alot of the 26/18.

John,

You now know the joy of owning a setter pup!

gmanksu

A pair of Oster A5 clippers and a #10 blade=no burrs

gmanksu

Does anyone have any experience with feeding Sportsman's Pride Professional formula?

gmanksu

BigSur,

A "dropper" is half pointer and half setter.

gmanksu

Half dropper or half martian, I'd own him, and I believe most if not all posting on the subject or making statements as to Blackhawk's status as an English Pointer would say the same.

gmanksu

Doug, that last picture is Priceless that is for sure!

gmanksu

I would recommend Odoban, disinfectant and odor removal solution. You local Sam's Club should have it or you can order it online just google it. Cost is about $10 per gallon concentrate.

"Can you run your dog in a field trial successfully if you do not have a horse and everyone else does? I was talking with a trialer this weekend and he runs all his trials off horse back. He stated that I could run my dog in trials and not be on horseback. It was my impression that in a regular fiel...

I bought some of the stainless steel stake outs from the ad on the Coverdog board last year. Very nice stake out with chain and brass snap. I don't know what he is getting out of them now but know they are machined and turned for the point, and all welds are ground smooth. Definitely the nicest ones...

The dog will tell you when they are ready, when they have bumped andchased enough birds that they start standing birds on their own, without checkcord or collar intervention without breaking they are ready to be whoa broke. Right now all you should be concerned about is teaching that pup, "No, don't...

Keith, IMHO Form follows Function, if you want athletic dogs you have to breed to the phenotype that will give the body structure to produce athletes. Have you got that new Kansas red home yet, saw him at the KFTCA meeting when E. picked him up, very nice pup. If I didn't have 3 derbies at home I am...

gmanksu

I like the collars from Covey Creek Products out of Iowa, much like the Permatack but 1/4 of the price. They have checkcords, collars, leads, etc.
Gary Ryun a trainer out of Linville, Ia also handles these.

I have used the Scott's kennel for dogs I have that tend to be messy in the kennel. If I get a pup that is showing tendencies of being messy in run I will put them in the elevated kennel for a while say 30 days, they get used to being clean themselves in there because everything falls through and wh...

If you have ever had a bird flush from one field across a paved rural road with a dog in chase to the wild flush of a bird before you arrived at the site of the point then heard a car coming at way beyond the speed limit and you turn your head away just waiting for the thump you'll know why finished...

Most Holiday Inn Expresses will allow pets, Super 8's too I would check with the Holiday Inn Express around Gardner and then a Super 8.

Wagonmaster, Read the post more clearly, the Brophy dogs and the dogs Jack Flynn have are AKC dogs, Jack's dog won the ISCA Ch. this fall ISCA is affiliated with the AKC. There are good red dogs to be had on either side of the fence, on average the "red setters" have way more success in all breed tr...

Feral hogs are now illegal to pursue and hunt in the state of Kansas. They are now under the auspice of the Kansas Animal Health Board as a nuissance animal (feral therefore they are not truly "wild" animals). This was put into place due to the line of thought from KDWP and the KAHB that hunting pre...

I forgot about Eudora and DeSoto, if you like beef jerky I'd definitely look into Eudora, there is a little meat processor there that is famous for the stuff, every time I go through on HWY 10 gotta stop there for supplies. Both are small towns and like was said there is a better chance of getting m...

You would have all of that in any of the areas I mentioned, there are Kansas Wildlife and Parks managed wildlife areas area Perry Lake which can have some decent upland hunting, great turkey and deer hunting on the northern end. Clinton Lake has a wildlife area as well just to the west of Lawrence. ...

The Dallas Pointer and Setter Club would be a good contact. I believe EJ Hall is the contact for their trials. EJ is out of Gunter, Tx is that is near you. PM me and I'll see if I can dig up some contact info.

I use Repel Sportsman that is 30% Deet sprayed on pants and boots, tucking your pants into your socks or boots will help as well. I also have had good luck with the new products containing Picardin when repellent needs to be sprayed on skin, the high level of DEET will really irritate areas it is sp...

Getting on grounds a Ft. Riley is possible.
