great post Ezzy!

volraider

My dogs do great on the 24/20. I would try it and see how your dogs do.

volraider

Great post Ray! It's really that simple and we just complicate it with all the other stuff.

volraider

Just remember it's a 3 or 4 month process before taking the collar off. No reason to have any set backs. I'm happy everything is working out for you.

sounds to me like you have a bold little pup which is a good thing. Your puppy sounds like it needs a dose of wild birds this season and then should be ready to break. If you did your homework on setters then trust your breeding and give it time to develop on wild birds. I have shorthair that is a l...

I think everyone is crazy when it comes to dog food. My buddies 15 year old gsp eats ole roy everyday and she still hunts a couple of hours at a time. She also eats her own crap and any other crap she finds. Dogs are dogs and like everything else we over analyze anything and everything and even thou...

volraider

It doesn't matter the brand as long as your dog does good on it. I feed sportmix 24/20 and the dogs do great. I pay $21 for a 50lb bag.

Great show! Best bird hunting show on tv.

volraider

If the dog has been hunted over and birds killed for it I think fireworks is a non-issue. I have 2 females that are scared to death of fireworks and thunder but love to hunt and a shotgun blast. If I had a puppy or a dog that hadn't been hunted a lot I would take some precautions.

MM is your neck broke? :lol: Why was the video tilted? I got my glasses but I haven't got the 8 gb card yet. So I guess it will be another day or two. I got a instructional video with mine but it was broke so it's going to take a while to figure everything out. The IKAM is the same glasses I got. Lo...

In order to be considered for Best GSP ever they should look like a GSP.

In all honesty what kind of person would actually 'dunk' a puppy in a bucket? I know it happened back in the day and may still take place. I sure wouldn't have the heart to throw a puppy in a bucket of water because its not the correct color. One of the reasons Bob Wehle brought the elhew line so f...

Any proof?

Yes, my litters do great. You got any proof it's not?

Diamond puppy is the best puppy food on the market.

I don't know if its completed yet, but I want to see the Lane Kiffin Shrine

Some stuff just isn't funny!

Dixie Stampede is still there I think.

volraider

You have dollywood in pigeon forge that is a huge draw. There's a bass pro there and a bunch of smaller stuff to do.

volraider

Brenda,

I ordered a pair so I will let you know in a few weeks. Maybe I can send you a video of Fritz's boy Blitz!

I know you would like him on the ground.

Brian

volraider

Have a litter and see if you make money. That's an easy way to find out if you can make money.

Elhew dogs are few and far between

That's what I'm saying.

volraider

[quoteCan you even name me an "Elhew" dog today?][/quote] Sinbad, Commanche, and a ton of others are advertised as Elhew. Sinbad and Commanche look nice from the pictures but I'm talking about the rest of the "Elhew" dogs where the male is 40lbs and 50lbs and the females may be 30 and 35. Whele like...

volraider

Most elhew dogs I have seen look like crap today(confirmation). The pictures I have seen from Wehle's dogs there was not a single dog that looked bad! I believe that some dogs have great traits and the goals of people that breed should be to keep those great traits.

volraider

That' s what I'm thinking. What age should they start raising?

Brian

volraider

I have white racing homers that were hatched this year. They are laying and hatching off but they are abandoning the babies and they are dead within 24 hours. It's like they don't know what to do after the egg hatches. Anyone have an ideal why?

volraider

I wouldn't take him to a preserve unless they have great flying birds. Catching a bird doesn't kill you but catching a bunch will set you back big time in your training.

volraider

Hook a pulley to a tree limb, attach to the dog around the neck and flank, use a 12 ft piece of pvc attached to the collar, use the e-collar on low around the flank and around the neck, put the dog up on a barrell.

I sent you a pm.

volraider

Please send picture of dogs, kennels, and training grounds to xxxxx@hotmail.com. That's the way my add would end.

volraider

Try "training with Mo" once you read it you probably will not pick up another training book. Very good step by step explaining.

Brian

volraider

Brenda,
One of the Ohio chapters run at Minga. That is the grounds where they hold the Britt all-age I'm pretty sure. I ran a NAVHDA test there and it was great.

volraider

Another thing is to have people with you during training. As Brad said earlier their will be people around during the test so have people around during training.

volraider

Make the drag simple at first. Build on success.

How's the foot Brad?

volraider

if she works upto the launcher and is too close when she points but is steady how should i handle that? because when she has gotten too close to a bird i planted in cover its easy i just flush it or it flushes on its own but the launcher may scare her if shes too close and it is set off right? You ...

volraider

ruth, i set my launchers up a good distance apart. i work on commands in between birds. i teach the dog to stand still (whoa) and i work on recall and handling. i always hold onto the checkcord in case the dog breaks and the launchers don't release the bird. launchers will fail either batteries or n...

volraider

IF I were the breeder I would give a full refund on return of the dog. That' s my guarentee. If the breeder does anything else then they are doing you a favor.

volraider

Nice puppy!

volraider

Looks a little like his daddy I would say. Some of the other guys are testing this fall.

volraider

Blitz recieved a Natural Ability perfect score of 112 for a Prize I He's out of Brenda and Rick's Fritz dog and my female Ridge-Point's Dixie Delight. We are begining our steading process and he's doing really well. He's working on pigeons in launchers in this photo. http://i303.photobucket.com/albu...

Just let the dog chase birds until the pro gets him. Then tell the pro what happened.

Jonesy, Jack Carter was my neighbor for 25 years. My friend bought his place at the estate auction and I still work dogs there from time to time. I had a couple of grouse ridge setters when I was in school and I went to Jack for training help. He asked me if the dogs would come back when called, I s...

She looks great Ruth! Not bad for a almost 5 month old puppy.

Go here and download the Field Manual by Maurice Lindley. This is free and will give you a good idea on how to break a dog completely.

volraider

DK - I have seen 2 or 3 DK's and 1dog was like a tractor stuck in low gear. The dog never got 25 ft from the handler. One was a nice gundog and the other ran just as hard as most shooting dogs with a very smooth gait. They always have great confirmation. American GSP's are really 2 distinct breeds. ...

volraider

I would be interested in running a couple of dogs.

If you buy a ford stay away from the 6.0 they had a lot of trouble out of those. The 7.3 was a good motor but they were hard on gas. Late 90's dodge's were probably the best on fuel mileage but hard on front ends. Duramax with an allision is the route to go. IMO
