Addict If you get down my way I have a few breeding pairs I will give you, but they are mostly white. They have been having mostly red babies though. I got a lady that is getting out of the pigeon racing business and said she would give me about 40 of them. I should get them in about 2 weeks so if a...

Dirtysteve

Cache Valley is the only place that has wild birds left isn't it ?
Maybe we'll come to you to train

Well maybe out in the Basin there's a few left but TAK won't tell me where his secret spots are.

Dirtysteve

TAK
Rob and I are trying to get something going. I talked with him last night about it. We will definitely let you know and maybe talk you into emailing everybody.
I would like to do it on a weekend day and make the day out of it, if we could get enough of us there.

Dirtysteve

Addict
Welcome
Where you located?
Tom has some very nice dogs and I don't think you could go wrong with one of them.
I'm only 2 hours from him and some of us GUPDC Wasatch front guys are going to try and get together once month and train at Lee Kay.
Join the GUPDC and come on out.

Sorry to hear about this. Hope he makes a full recovery.

Dirtysteve

Thanks to everybody that gave me these kind words.
It was a pretty rough weekend but we are doing better.
I am glad I had the chance to spend time with Ryker he was one of a kind.

Tom it is always an honor to shake your hand and I'm sorry for your losses as well.

I'm sorry to dump this on you guys but I need to tell somebody. Yesterday I got a call from my wife, hysterical and I could hear my kids crying in the back ground. She said my Ryker had just been hit by a car. I came home as fast as I could and found him lying on my lawn with my wife and kids. Ryker...

If you buy a broke dog are you buying somebodies wash out? My friend and I have been debating this. I say no not always, and if so, maybe a washout to a person who trials extensively is the best bird dog a hunter may own. He thinks if they are getting rid of a dog that they have put that much traini...

Thanks for the help I will let you know if that works.

There is a guy down my way that makes his dog drag some welding lead and heavy chain behind their harness's.
This might be a safer way.
I think my pup would drag me to death if I hooked him up to my bike

You going to the training seminar that TAK is having?

Dirtysteve

I have orderd the parts to build my own launcher
Thanks for all the advice.

Dirtysteve

Get ahold of 12 volt man, He is from up that way and he could give you some ideas on where to go.

Dirtysteve

Birddog All I have is a manuel launcher and when I work him alone he has learned that when I bend down for the cord to pull that a bird is coming up so he has started creeping in. It works well with a helper to pull the bird but when alone he has it figured out. I even lengthend the cord but trying ...

Dirtysteve

I messed up :oops: I was working my 6 month old GSP saturday on carded pigeons. He is pointing well but will not hold it very long. I had him on a check cord but I thought we were a ways off from the bird so I left him range a ways. Well the bird had gotten up and moved closer, he pointed but busted...

Dirtysteve

I'm planning on it but I have to see what the "Boss" has planned for that weekend.

Dirtysteve

Congrats!
Wish I could've been there to see him run.

Dirtysteve

I bought a this collar from a guy that used it on his Lion Hounds. It is a one dog unit with tone and a 1 mile range. You have to change the electrodes to increase/decrease levels. Once you find the right level does the dog always respond so you don't have to change intensity? I was going to get one...

Dirtysteve

I have only watched about half and so far like it.
I think it is the best way I've seen to introduce the gun.

Dirtysteve

Got mine Friday. Yours should be right behind mine.

Dirtysteve

It sounds as if your gun is setting both firing pins by opening the action, which should only set the first. O/U set the second firing pin by the recoil from the first. I wouldn't even mess with it myself I would get a gunsmith to look at it. I've learned the hard way that is best to pay somebody wh...

Dirtysteve

His tail is always at 12' o clock the only time he rests it is when he is sleeping.
Jack Russel???

easy there...LOL!

Dirtysteve

Thanks 12 volt, are you going this weekend?
I will try to get some other pictures soon.
I would also like to thank Ted Meyer from VZ kennels he was great to deal with and I am very impressed with this pup.

Dirtysteve

Well my pup made it! :D Friday I picked him up at the airport. He came home and acted like he had been there his whole life, jumped on the dog pillow and moved right in. Tak and 12 volt watch out he will be giving you guys a run for your money soon! :wink: Anybody want to post some pictures for me?

Dirtysteve

I orderd the perfect start video on the 20th of February from perfection kennels and haven't received it.
Are they normally that slow or should I start calling?
And bye the way thanks Grant for the speedy delivery of the video I ordered from you.

Dirtysteve

Can you or Tom send me the info on the seminar?

Dirtysteve

TAK
He is a direct son of Sonny.
Dam is a grandaughter of FC White Smokin Mad Max and FC Wrenegades Strike Three. I'm sending the money on friday....So hopefully in the next week or two I will have him. I can hardly wait

Dirtysteve

oh yeah thanks for the replys

Dirtysteve

I haven't got him yet......soon

Dirtysteve

Is a 4 month old pup to old to socialize into a family dog with small children? And has he missed any any crucial stages in developement/training by not being placed with a family?

Dirtysteve

My experience with pigeons is if you have got them from somebody else who was flying them or caught them, then you might get back half if your lucky. I don't fly any birds that I buy or trade with others. I do fly all the young birds but I get them use to their new loft after weening. I have a trap ...

Dirtysteve

Thanks guys I had a very good time. I couldn't have met a nicer group of guys

Thanks for putting up with all my questions.
If there are any more trials coming up in the near future please let me know.

Dirtysteve

Thanks everybody

Dirtysteve

I don't know
I was talking to a guy that said he is breeding his male, a son from Erdenreichs Navigator, this spring. I was just wondering if any body knew much about this dogs claim to fame.

Dirtysteve

Can anybdoy tell me about this dog? I have done a search on the net but nothing came up.

Dirtysteve

12 Volt Man
I'm from Lehi and just found out that Art Cox lives not very far from my house.
I will have to get in touch with him.
I am going to ride out Sunday and watch the trials.
Saturday I have a chance to hunt a pheasant farm so I am going to give that a try.

Dirtysteve

Thank you for this infromation I guess I will have another Cabela's bill as soon as I get done here.

Dirtysteve

Wow this is a neat site! :D I have a whole bunch of questions for you experts. First, I am looking for a close to medium working GSP with a strong desire to retreive. Any particular lines to look at? Second, How do I find if there are any Field trials or hunting test in my area, and can I go to them...
