I don't believe that any sons or grandsons of Fiddler are still alive, I can't think of any great grandsons either. If one wanted a strong shot of Fiddler I think you would have to look around and find something linebred back to him.

I feed and water at the same time that I do at home, I feed the same feed and the same amount. When I can I bring water from home or buy a couple large jugs and take it along. I let them out on a chain or leash to air every 3 or 4 hours depending on the weather. Make sure to take bowls and something...

That is one nice, long tailed rooster!

So what is the protein and fat levels in the new chicken and rice formula at Sam's Club?

Big Dave

I can remember my Dad feeding Joy canned horsemeat mixed with their dry kibble when I was a kid.

Big Dave

$35.99 for 35lbs here, I have seen some $3.00 off coupons in the paper lately too.

Big Dave

Have you seen the new Iams Sporting?

Big Dave

Heat will get them mouth breathing and they won't being scenting birds as well, green cover is also tougher for the dog to smell game birds as well. I would think if I saw four birds that the rest of the covey would be around close.

Big Dave

I am glad you went out and worked for it, many would just sit home and believe that there were not any birds.

Big Dave

I have also had good luck with dogbooties.com, they are rather inexpensive in case you lose any and not hard to put on.

Big Dave

I have handled a CZ Ringneck in both 20 and 28, the 28 is noticeably smaller and lighter. Ringneck and Bobwhites are both nice guns for the money, they are the only CZ's that I have been around.

Big Dave

Nice pictures, looks like a nice trip.

I had one done in St Joseph, MO in 2004. I found her OFA report but I cannot find the info on the vet who did it. I remember it wasn't far from the college, Missouri Western.

Big Dave

Please sign me up, and thanks for the chance.

Big Dave

I think you really captured the spirit of it all.

Big Dave

I have used Tri Tronics for the last 20 years and have always been happy with them. I had one DT that I bought used and some friends use Dogtra, I can't see myself changing. I also like buying American when I can.

Big Dave

What? No picture of Andy? Looks like a fun and productive trip.

Big Dave

Orscheln's is always the highest price on any dog food around here.

Big Dave

He did not produce Shadow's Attitude. Does anyone have an up to date production record on him?

Big Dave

Stan Wint and Scott Miller did a heck of a job marketing Honky Tonk Attitude. From the awesome picture of him on point that we have all seen over and over to his registered name etc. As I have stated I liked him and some of his get, I tried to breed my daughter of his to Turbo but it didn't take. Th...

Big Dave

With the economy and general lack of birds in the Midwest I don't know what would be real marketable. I think Derrig's Erin line of dogs would be in demand as much as any. I did see Honky Tonk Attitude go a couple of times, including when he won runner up at the National Free All. I have an old dog ...

Alliance Nutrition has an article on it's webpage "Feeding the Hunting Dog" by Dale Hill PhD. It talks about switching feeds in the off season as well as some other good information.

Big Dave

I am going to try and make it.

Big Dave

Scott,
Thanks for passing this info along.

Big Dave

Style is a lot easier for me to identify in person than from a picture, the situation, intensity etc. certainly play into it.

Big Dave

I find that using the wrong gloves rather than checkcord material causes my hands to burn. I use cotton roping gloves and a permatack checkcord, they will make it whatever length you need, I have a longer one to teach recall and a shorter one for bird work.

Big Dave

Find something that is easily available in your area, is affordable to you and that your dog does well on. There are many dog foods that fit this desription for most people.
Which forumla of National are you feeding?

Big Dave

Timing is the key, call and pull on the cord and tap with the E-collar all at once. Eventually the E-collar will take the place of the checkcord.

Big Dave

I have really enjoyed this thread. Didn't Branscums' Nickle win a walking championship and an all age championship both? Slate Creek Doc stuff was pretty popular in this area at one time and Crow's Little Joe was very strong in the NSTRA game. I would like to hear more from people with Doc breeding ...

Big Dave

To answer one question, I would rather have a Lester's Snowatch pup today than a Touch's Whiteout pup. Snowatch is a national champion and has now produced a national champion. Whiteout is still unproven as a stud but will obviously get a chance to change that. With his consistent outstanding perfor...

Big Dave

They don't show Touch's Whiteout on their website.

I think the Pzazz feed is manufactured in northeast Kansas. I know some hound men that feed it and I did try it myself. I did not care for it, I tried a black bag that was 26-18 and a red bag that was 25-20.

Big Dave

I have seen one torn dew claw on a dog and it was ugly. I decided right there that I would have them taken off of any litter that I raised. It is pretty rare but can be serious when it happens.

Big Dave

www.ranchonekennels.com This will lead you to Craig Thompson's website. Craig is now living in Arkansas but trained dogs, ran field trials and managed a hunting ranch in Texas. He ran against Fiddlin Rocky Boy quite a bit and liked him and added his blood to his line through Turbo, High View Jake, H...

I used to buy stuff from Dressler's in Kansas City.

Big Dave

Congratulations on your win, and he is an awesome looking dog!

Big Dave

Heck I like ya Tom, but then again I work in a prison.

Big Dave

If you are in Trenton you need to go see Ike and talk hunting dogs. Heck he has feed, shells, guns and certainly years of experience.

Big Dave

Looks like fun !

My old daughter of Honky Tonk Attitude weighs 44 lbs., our Honky Tonk/Rock Acre Blackhawk grandaughter weighs 40 lbs.. The Honky Tonk line does tend to run a little smaller than other lines.

Big Dave

Looks like the pointer pup is coming on strong for you..

Big Dave

I know one was shot in Ray County Missouri, I was hunting less than a mile from where it was shot the day before. I was hunting Republic County Kansas and the farmer had a newspaper where one had been killed there earlier last fall. They are here for sure.

Big Dave

We used to feed 'K-zyme" to our cows before breeding and to our bitches before breeding or when hunting our dogs hard. My hunting partner has a hard gainer and his vet sold him some Fastrack, he uses very little and it seems to have helped. Tripe, just the thought makes me gag.

Big Dave

Sal,
Any experience with "Fastrack" as a supplement?

Big Dave

I vote for number two Ron.

Big Dave

Sorry to hear this.

Big Dave

I prefer Pointing Dog Journal.

Big Dave

Tom,
The Rebel blood generally refers to dogs that go back to the old all age champion A Rambling Rebel. I think if you google field trial pointers you can still find Frank Thompson old site that had info on the "Rebel" dogs.

Big Dave

I have several K-9 Comfort collars and do like them, they are made of a similar material as Permatack but only a single layer of it. Permatack is now making both single layer collars and their original double layer models. If you chain a dog out on a stake or a chain gang at all the hardware and mat...
