It certainly says a lot for him that he is the only dog to finish the 3 hours!!

So are we going to see you in the woods up in Gladwin this spring?

You can follow in the footsteps of Wanbli and some of Chuck Langstaff's britts.

midwestfisherman

I don't think 5 finds is going to do it.

What was the name of the setter that won?

midwestfisherman

Mine lay them on the bare floor and empty nest bowls all of the time. They hatch and are fine.

Always wanted to do some quail hunting in OK or AZ. Also would like to go to Montana.

I'm looking for a spot to go to for a long weekend and run my dogs and do some training. The snow here is too deep and too crusty to get any real work done with out dogs cutting their feet up. So any ideas would be great as I don't know much about what is available in southern OH and only know of on...

I received some pictures of my Billie and a couple of other dogs from a friend who had seen her while visiting the Forman brothers this past early fall. The first 6 are Billie (black and white dog) and a shooting dog named Belle (orange and white dog). http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/8884/billybe...

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm working on that tab issue.

The cover dog message board is a great resource. If you make it to a trial in Michigan send me a message before you come up. I'll be happy to show you around if I am up there.

I have just completed a new web site for Richard and Jennifer Wyatt. They've been breeding setters and in the trial game for sometime now. I thought I'd post the site so you guys could check them out. They're great people.

It's official! Duke has a new home. Duke's new owner picked him up this morning. He's headed to live in W Lafayette, IN and then out to Wyoming when his new owner moves out there for his new job. This should be a great home for Duke! Thanks to everyone who inquired about him. Thanks Matt for bringin...

Due to unforeseen circumstances this dogs is still available.

midwestfisherman

Here are some pictures of Duke. I have him in the house. He's pretty laid back. Gets along well with my dogs. Kennels into the wire crate on command. Looks to be good on the house broke part too. http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/174/duke2ats1.jpg http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/3567/duke1aug2.j...

Excellent looking pups!

midwestfisherman

That is one super looking pup!

I get my barrels from my local Culligan water guy. $5 each. I also cut them out about 2/3 of the way up to help keep the bedding in the barrel.

midwestfisherman

Good stuff!!!

midwestfisherman

Very nice pictures guys!!

midwestfisherman

I had my tri-colored setter mistaken for a dalmatian on more than a few occasions. :roll:

midwestfisherman

Sounds like you and your dog did a nice job today. Without having a bracemate, your dog was at a disadvantage. I'd be willing to bet you see a different type of run out of her tomorrow since she is braced with another dog. Good luck!

midwestfisherman

I've got a pair of Brittany's, they're going on their third season and still going strong. Nice boot for the money.

midwestfisherman

Nice looking setter! I sure do miss Texas.

midwestfisherman

Thats too funny!!!

I cross posted this on the coverdog forum. I hope you find a good home for her.

midwestfisherman

Great looking pup! I love his color. I've always been partial to tri's. Good luck with him and keep us posted on his progress.

midwestfisherman

Very nice!

midwestfisherman

Great PE. You guys look like you had a great time! Thanks for posting your hunt.

This is from last Sunday. Had a great day. The weather was perfect, we saw plenty of birds, the dogs worked great, I got to hunt with a good friend, and we even put a few in the game bag. The stars of the day were who I term the "dynamic duo"! Jack (owned by Brad) and his big brother Merlin put on q...

midwestfisherman

Great looking pictures and a great looking young dog! Sounds like you have him headed in the right direction. Good stuff indeed. Keep posting those pictures!

midwestfisherman

He looks good. With the training and work that you've put into him, some wild birds sounds like just the ticket for him now.

midwestfisherman

Nice job with the camera wems. That first DD is a real nice looking dog! Of course you can't beat that setter pup!

Take care of yourself out there and give 'em heck!

Thanks for your service and sacrifice. I know it's not easy being away from home.

Take care and keep us updated on how you're doing!

That would probably have been accurate about 100 years ago.
