"Hey, 12 volt where is Meyer kennels located? " -He is out of Lawrence Kansas. http://www.meyerskennels.com There are quite a few Pointer breeders in Kansas. ----------------------------- "By the looks of his feet, Cooper might have his "paws" full in a few months! Puppies are SO cute! -I know, his ...

I have a "double double" on the 18th and 19th of Sept. This will be my dog Cooper's first NSTRA trial. Actually 4 trials in one weekend. I don't know what to expect. I will be doing what I can to get him on birds and in top shape before then. He usually always retrieves to hand, so that part will he...

Introducing Ashby's Honky Tonk Cowboy My new pup arrived this morning all the way from Kansas. He is out of Meyers Kennels. His sire is 4 time NSTRA champ Honky Tonk Rack who was sired by the great Honky Tonk Attitude. The dam was a grandaugher of Elhew Damascus. I am very excited about this Elhew/H...

Once again, that is one fine looking pup.

I am expecting my special delivery from Kansas this weekend. My new EP pup. I am excited to have another dog.

Great looking pics. Kage sure is a nice looking pup.

Speaking of Dove hunting. I was going to start a thread with a question. I figured I might as well ask it here. I haven't hunted doves before. It sounds like great fun. I saw quite a few today when I took my dog out training. I plan to go this year. I would appreciate some tips on hunting them. I al...

I needed to get out with Cooper. He just turned one year old last week, and I am trying to have him ready for his first NSTRA trial next month. I picked up a few pen raised quail and a couple of pheasant hens. I headed out this morning at 5 a.m. for my dads property. It is about 150 miles each way, ...

He's solid white with just a hint of orange on the ears. He should be an eye catcher.

:D I decided that Cooper needs a huntin' partner. I should have this new little Pointer at my house within a couple of weeks. I am very excited about this little guy. He is out of 5 time NSTRA champion Honky Tonk Rack from Meyers Kennels, and Hunter's Elhew Molly whose grandire was CH. Elhew Damascu...

I was looking througha local online classifieds service and found this guy trying to sell Pointer/Setter cross pups for $500.00. Are people really that crazy? IMHO pups like this should be maybe $50 bucks to cover the costs and then also a wruitten agreement to spay or nueter. On another note, they ...

Wildrose,
My apologies for being uneducated on this. You said that you spray your boots with Thompson's every once in a while. Are you talking the regular Thompson's Water Seal that you use on wood? or is there another Thompson's product for boots?

What do you guys wear for shoes/boots in the field? Let's say warm weather and cold weather seperate. Looking for ideas so I can get a set of bought and broke in.

It is actually a place sponsored by the Utah Division of Wildlife. It is a large shooting range only a 5 minute drive from where I work. I had heard that they had some bird dog training grounds, so I stopped in to see what it was all about. Apparantly it is 950 acres of varied landscape including hi...

Sometimes I'll tie a pigeon to an empty plastic coke bottle filled with approx 1/2 in. of water. This will let the pigeon fly for about 40 yards or so, and saves birds.......... Nice variation on the "carding" of pigeons. I may have to try that. I need to locate some pigeons. They are pretty scarce...

Commmon' Man! I don't think we're doing too bad. We've only been online for 3 1/2 months... Grant. No offense meant. You have created a fantastic place. I love the V-bullien format. Very easy to navigate and your choice of colors is pleasing. Not to mention the very cool pictures you have edited in...

The last few weeks I have decided to work hard at getting myself and my dog in shape for the upcoming hunting season. I wanted to build some muscle bulk and some stamina in my dog. I hope to have him ready for a NSTRA trial in September. I also started the Atkins diet recently for myself. I started ...

Does anybody have any opinions on what time of year is the best to get a new pup? My Pointer will be one year old next month. By hunting season 14 or 15 months. He was born in August. I feel like he will be a fairly good dog this year, his first season. I also feel like he missed out on a lot of goo...

Thanks Brenda,
I didn't know which would get answered first as this forum is still taking off and a little slow.

My Pointer Pup, Cooper, will be 1 year old next month. He has progressed very well lately. He was good on the commands he has been taught so far (come, kennel, whoa, and fetch sometimes heel). This has all been taught on the check chord with most of my information from Delmar Smith's book and things...

Great video. Keep those coming! It is a real help for us rookies.


Also, it looked like you have a really neat place for training.

I went out to a NSTRA field trial here in Utah on Saturday. Just wanted to check it out and meet a few people. I am hoping to run my dog in one of these by this fall. If you have never seen one, get out and do it. Very fun, and there are a lot of neat dogs to see. My dog is a little over 9 months ol...

Good question. I have wondered the same thing. I have thought about spraying my dog with it but never have.

Very cool. Definately too much time on your hands.

Thanks!

I just picked up a Benelli Nova 26 inch 12 guage.

Future plans/wishes include a Dehaan O/U and one of the new CZ autos.

I took Cooper over to the local school tonite. While my kids played, I worked him on Whoa and also a few retrieves. He is coming along, but still likes to take a couple steps forward when he is excited. Had some great fun. http://www.hunt101.com/img/144561-big.jpg http://www.hunt101.com/img/144563-b...

I am going to work on steady to wing and shot.

I have an 9 month old English Pointer that I have been working with. This is my first bird dog and he is a lot of fun. His name is Cooper. I live in Utah. I plan on getting involved in some NSTRA trials here. Mostly looking to have a decent bird dog in the end and have a lot of fun with him. I might...

Those that use it. Please explain your method for using the barrel. I got a barrel and it is painted with a pretty glossy paint. The dog slips off very easily. Is this the point? I duct taped a piece of carpet on the side and tried that a few times. I haven't got serious about the barrel method yet....

I have been feeding Diamond Premium. Seems to be working well.
