Really sharp shotgun! That stock has nice figure... good choice. Good luck with it this fall!

MTO4Life

Absolutely awesome. Beats my half day hunts for grouse!!! But I'll take them anyway!!! Looks like you had a great trip.

MTO4Life

Gotta love those kind of results! Congrats!

That's spectacular.... what a great weekend!!! Congrats to all involved....

Well done!!! Here's to that last point. Hope it happens soon!!

I had the same problem with my pup. She would just stand there. I could walk a quarter mile away, she wouldn't move. I fixed it by putting a christmas bell on her (from a wreath) that was about one and a quater inch in diameter on her. It had a small ring to it. She wore it around the house, for a w...

Nature's Miracle has worked like a charm for me. As stated previously, follow directions and you should be fine!

I'm new to this pigeon trapping thing, and have a question about why I can't catch them. I've done like I've read on this site. I've put my trap at a highway patrol yard on an out roof of a salt shed. I can see at least 20 pigeons on the hydro wires in plain view of the trap. I put the trap upside d...

Has the pointy ears and snout of a coyote, but I agree... it looks quite leggy. I would say coydog as well.

I bought these collars [K-9 Komfort TufFlex Center Ring Dog Collar] (2 of them) from recommendation of posters on this site. I find them to be tough and really great. They have both rings, and while I use the D ring for my leash, in a pinch, the O ring comes in handy.

He was a later addition (I didn't get him at 8 weeks). He was a year old when I got him, but he needed some obedience work, so that is what we spent a lot of time doing. Tried him on pigeons and quail initially, and he didn't like either. Just sniffed, then took off to run the field. Went for a walk...

MTO4Life

Hi all... just a humble brag about my pup. I received my second dog at the beginning of the summer as a problem dog (hence the defect dog name) who needed obedience training as there were issues with this first family. I took him and started working with him, but haven't done any official field trai...

MTO4Life

Quick question. I need to intro my pup to pigeons (assuming they cooperate and start trapping!!). More importantly, I need him to get excited about the birds. Is the best way to achieve this to just put a bird down, and let him sniff it out and chase it? I've seen him point a quail (held a couple of...

MTO - I guess the biggest difference between a shooting dog and an all age dog, for me is how they go through the country. The ideal shooting dog ground application, for me, can be described as hunting its way forward in an intelligent manner. The all age dog, on the other hand looks up...sees and ...

MTO4Life

Neil.. So when you tell me they have to be careful with how they train to be sure not to take anything away, is that when they break they dog? I know my bitch had a lot of run as a derby, but when the trainer started breaking her, she came in quite a bit. It took some good wild bird running in Kansa...

Both of these dogs have plenty of brains and the ability to get it done whether they are trialed or hunted. A dog that is pushed into running allage will soon be lost everytime they turn them loose. It is a very natural ability and the very good ones are few and far between, there are a good number...

MTO4Life

Hi All, I have a question, more just to hear thoughts on the topic than anything. What does it take to make an All Age dog? I don't me, how to train it, but is it genetics, or is it in the training you do, and how you bring out the independence? Is it possible to have an all age dog, but train it do...

MTO4Life

As I said earlier... well done to all involved! That is a great accomplishment, and is a testiment to you, your dog, and his trainers. Here's to many, MANY more of those for you, Mav (the dog

I am not a fan of watching a dog take a dump during the breakaway, but I can ride around that. As one poster mentioned, I also have a far greater dislike to watching a male dog pee on every third bush. That gets marked down.

ok, I know about the sound, but wasn't sure how to get this buzz. Thanks for clearing it up for me!!

Is this on any Tri-Tronics transmitter/receiver? Or is only the upland model?

MTO4Life

Not to steal the thunder on him, but it is the same Maverick that won. I'm sure Helen or Andre can fill in the details. All I know is that he is on cloud 9, and can taste the FC. The win couldn't happen to a nicer guy or a nicer dog IMO...

Great looking pup! They're hours of fun at that age! They can play forever...

MTO4Life

Ahhh, I'll be sure to NOT let my wife see that! I already got a 2nd dog this summer, I think a 3rd would be a bit much.

MTO4Life

Awesome looking pup!! Makes me want to get another one.... hmmmm

MTO4Life

Pro 100 all the way. Great range and the dial and buttons very easy to use.

MTO4Life

It looked very nice to me. I enjoy seeing that kind of thing. I especially like when the dog caught scent of the blood. It was funny to see the tail start to go!

MTO4Life

Thanks for the great reply!

Hey all American Field folk... I have a question for you. What constitutes a CH with American Field? I see dogs with 4xAm. Fld. CH and such. I know just winning a weekend stake isn't it, but are points accumulated as with AKC? Or is it when you win a designated championship stake in AF? I see that w...

I'm by no means a pro here, but I use both. The Garmin is great, lets me see what my dog is doing, but if I command here, and the Garmin tells me she is still hauling a%* away from me, I can nick her with the e-collar and fix that problem right there. Without the e-collar, the Garmin shows me she is...

Pumpkin!! That's different. I've never heard of that. I take it from your post you were using it to alleviate issues with the dog??? That's really cool...

I would have to say no. He takes the odd swipe at it to lick it, but really nothing. I'm not sure about when I'm not around though. I'll try to get him in tomorrow...

Yesterday, I noticed what looked like a wet mark on my Britt. Upon investigation, it looked (and felt) like a sticky goo on his back (approximately 2" long by 1" wide). I figured he rolled in something (you never know with him). I washed it off, and it appeared fine. However, when I checked a bit la...

I'm a HAPPY guy!! Pending AKC confimation, my girl, Sharptail's Alladin's Princess, aka- Jasmine, became a show champion today, picking up the last point needed to finish. She had an awesome run, with 3 majors in a row leading up to this. Hats off to Helen Riggle of the Wild Mtn Brittany gang, and t...

My wife and I were that way last year when we dropped our girl off. This year was the same, however the trainer sent us back with a dog as a loaner. Turns out, the boss (re- my wife) said we're keeping him, so now I'll have two in the house come fall!!! Go figure...

Thanks Mav... I'm pretty happy, and hoping this is the weekend where she becomes a 'special' dog as opposed to open bitch!!

Just a question about the titles. DC- dual champion, AFC- amateur field champion, MH- master hunter; those are easy. I need some help with the others. UDX- Utility dog excellent? TDX- tracking dog excellent? MX-??? AXJ-??? Am I right on the last few, and what are the ones where I didn't know the nam...

Awesome news. My bitch will be at the same shows! Best of luck!!!!

Thanks Brenda.... really dumb question here, but with the collar on the flank, am I attaching that to another lead, or just using it as a handle to move him back to the 'whoa' position? Again, thanks for the input.

MTO4Life

Question here. I've been working with my pup (about 1 year old) on whoa. He had a bit of whoa work before I got him (whoa post and rope on flank). He really was doing well with that, so I put the ecollar on him without it on for 4 days or so to get him used to that, and with the rope. He's smart eno...

I just use mine in Canada anyhow. I had mine shipped to my sister in Florida, and then she mailed it to me in another box. It's a great unit. Mine was even opened by Canada Customs and it was still sent to me. Too bad it wasn't allowed up here... it is superb and with some of the terrain around here...

That is really neat.
