Guardrail was known to produce with everything he was bred to,even the mediocre females,so who do you give the credit to? Nell. In your opinion,shouldn't a female Produce Consistently with different studs to be considered a producer? Of course. And how can a dog be considered a producing Grandfathe...

Yawallac

Grandget?? Yes Grandget. They would be the pups by Guard Rail sired sons and daughters, Grandget. Here's a good example, Ch. Van Mac, everybody considers him to have been a "Gun Smoke" dog. Who's his momma?! :wink: Many, many Champions have been produced by Guard Rail dams ...and yet most folks alw...

Yawallac

What other Producing females did he produce? I think I've heard of one other but can't remember her name. You're kidding right? I'd wager that no other Pointer produced more Champion grandget than Guard Rail. The Field can't quantify the number with their antiquated system, but I spent an hour or s...

Elhew dogs coming down from the Strike/Kiwi crosses...

Who was Kiwi's sire?

Yawallac

I actually think on your website you should use your avatar pic of Jack instead of the one you have on there. You are not the first to make that suggestion! :lol: Thing is, that it was such a great find that the moment is pretty special to me. Everytime I look at that pic I remember Jack slamming t...

Yawallac

It almost seems wrong to put any collar on them.

With the increasing influence that technology is having on our bird dogs, we have decided to start breeding ...for longer necks.

Yawallac

I will never own a setter. :) Recommendations: For Fiddler, I would suggest Blackhawk/Strut. For Elhew we have seen the best results from Fibber. If Miller excites you I would look to pups by Webber's Little Bullet or House's Line Up. If you want something close to Guard Rail ...that's our shtick. G...

Yawallac

Hi Bill,

Can't wait to hear how that little girl does for you. She's a sweetheart! With those two additions, you have some serious bird dog power!

Yawallac

I think the question that most people should ask is what breedings ussually produce the easiest handling dogs?

I thought I answered that ...Guard Rail.

Yawallac

Ross, Good Luck to ya buddy!!! Will you be handling your charge?

Thanks Howie.

Here is the draw! Can't wait!!

Poster might be able to find something worth feeding from this bunch!!

So of course this app;ies to the tail as well!!!!!!!!

Yawallac

He was a little hard headed but that was probably the bird dog guard rail in him. Gene says that Guard Rail wasn't a hard-headed dog at all ...but that Rail Dancer was the hardest-headed dog he ever saw! HOFer Gene Casale and I co-own this dog and Gene was sitting next to me in the Mule ...and that...

Yawallac

Ok but seriously, it makes no difference to anything performance or health wise? I'm talking about a marginally bad bite, not something that will effect its ability to chew food. If a dog is slightly undershot, I won't lose much sleep over it because it will not have any effect on the dog's perform...

Yawallac

Pointers are bred for performance ...only. A bite that does not negatively impact its ability to eat, has zero effect on its ability to hunt. While we strive to breed Pointers with proper bites, we will not exclude a dog with a marginally bad bite from our breeding program because imo, a bad bite is...

Yawallac

...and specifically McGoo bred.

That would put the bird dog (Guard Rail) in them.

Yawallac

EP people seem the minority when it comes to the concern of breeding stock having good bites.

That's because it's meaningless.

Yawallac

Yeah, the bite is really important.

Yawallac

You seem to remember any concerns I have about the EP, but not the praise I have for the breed.

That's because your "praise" is like this...

"You have such a nice smile, it's a shame that your teeth are green."

Disingenuous - giving a false appearance of frankness. We get it.

Yawallac

If the destination is 85 or over they won't ship.

We not only ship out, we ship in. I wonder how they get here?

Yawallac

Somebody's feelings got hurt when you brought up an alternative to the EP for a cold weather bird dog. Misread. What ticks ckirsch off is Cameron's constant posts about how interested he is in getting a Pointer ...and then finding ways to demean them on Internet forums. Lets see, there were the pos...

Yawallac

We ship Delta out of Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC. Our lows during the summer are 85 degrees.

...but I'm sure you're right.

Yawallac

My son did a Rogaine experiment for school w/o my permission!

Yawallac

Delta who I've shipped dogs all over the U.S. will not ship to any destination unless the temps are under 85 degrees.

If the Health Cdertificate has an acclimation on it from the vet, Delta will ship above 85 degrees. You have posted that twice and you are wrong. WE DO IT REGULARLY.

Yawallac

My son was 13 when I started field trialing, he was given chores to do and was paid $10/day for not complaining.

That's brilliant! I have been paying my son to work, I should be paying him not to complain!!

Let her run a pup, the rest will take care of itself.

Yawallac

Ross Are you saying if you lived in ND you would not have pointers because it's too cold . Ron, if I lived in ND I would get a mail order bride from the Ukraine and never leave my cabin! yawallac, if you don't mind could you tell me where you got you pp from? Brandon, she came from Calvin Harpe in ...

Yawallac

I agree Cameron, that's too COLD for EPs. In fact, that's too COLD for humans!!

Yawallac

The end of May the temps are way too hot. They won't ship over 85 degrees. Period.

Getting by the 85 degree limit is easy, all you need is an acclimation on the Health Certificate from the vet. We ship to and from SC all the time. Delta and Northwestern are the two carriers we use.

Yawallac

This girl could SCREAM through the pineywoods. I first saw her full sister from a previous litter at a NAVHDA test in TN. I said, "Gotta get one of them!" That little dog ran as fast and furious as any of my Pointers, so I called the breeder and he had a repeat litter on the ground. Kelly http://www...

Yawallac

I've seen and owned PPs that could really roll! They were far from "tanks". Other than the GSP, they are the closest continental to the Pointer imo. Keep in mind they are about 85% Pointer. Really cool breed.

Yawallac

There are far more FT-type GSPs that can play the NAVHDA game than there are FT'ers willing to learn the game. I believe that. In fact, the best "NAVHDA dog" I ever saw was Woodland's Lord Hanschen. Hans was a son of HOF Hidden Hollow's Ronlord Ruler, who was a son of HOF Checkmate's Dandy Dude. Ha...

Yawallac

Ross would that be Blackhawk Stuff?
If so the rumors may be true

What rumors?!?!

Yawallac

Ross
Who is the sire and dam of that litter?

Looks like a Guard Rail x Tomoka cross!

Yawallac

They will lay eggs in the jh but they will not sit on them. However, we are having success releasing jh birds and closing the houses ...some then nest and hatch out broods.

Yawallac

...he breeds all Rock Acre stuff.

The only worry you have with that ...is this!!!

Yawallac

A specialist is now a versatile?

Yep.

EPs aren't exactly known for their tremendous duck search, retrieve.

Shhhh, don't tell mine that. They don't know any better.

Yawallac

The absolute best Pointer noses I have seen were out of HTA and Shadow's Attitude. Ckirch's dog was by an HTA son of mine that had probably the best nose I have ever seen on a bird dog. ...but as I have told Craig many, many times the good stuff in his dog ...came from his momma!! :D Point is that i...

Yawallac

IMO the Fiddler bred dogs (Honky Tonk, Joe Shadow, Rock Acre, etc.) consistently have very good noses.

We did share emails Ross, and thanks again for the quick response. That's right, email ...not phone. Sorry. :D BTW, I picked up Rocky, my dog that just won the New England Championship and Jack, my avatar, from George Tracy today. I'm going to work them before the SC Championship.

Redman, I believe we spoke on the phone. :) After reviewing the responses I would agree that any of the breeders listed would be a good choice for a Pointer pup. ...even Chris!

But the pups never seem to get along with one another. My daddy is better than your daddy stuff.

Yawallac

Hey Clarence, great thread!

Yawallac

Craig, I agree. I have been reading Howie's posts for a long time and I would really enjoy training with him. He's a dog man.

Nice pics Howie. I miss NAVHDA training days, great people.

it absolutely should not be allowed during a test or trial "OMG Harold, he just gave his dog a piece of dried liver!!! CHEATER!!! CHEATER!!!" At the MH level do you guys honestly believe that a morsel of liver has any effect on the dog's performance? Really? :lol: absolutely should not be allowed!!...

Yawallac

A nice scratch on the head and an atta boy when finished should be enough treat for a dog to want to perform well again. I just can't get too worked up over some guy giving his dog a treat. BTW, I consider a "nice scratch on the head" and an "atta boy" to be training aids too, so maybe they shouldn...
