I don't train with my husband. It leads to divorce

Oh Sharon...you CRACK me up!! Truer words were never said. Gonna take the IRWS and a Brittany and hit the woods here shortly in search of grouse & pheasant....should be an interesting afternoon

Oh Travis....you are so MODEST. Your wife is hooked, just dowsn't want to admit it because then she'll lose what little control she has over the checkbook :mrgreen: Congrats on the win Jet Jockey!! Better start putting your spare change in a jar now. That ribbon just cost you more then you realize :...

Hey there Danielle! Nice way to get started. Welcome to the Forum. I happened to notice that "Abby" is distantly related to most of my dogs. FC/AFC Ramblin Willie is a 1/2 brother to my DC Mokan Wild Mtn I'm Justa Gigolo (Dutch), both are sons of FC Mo Kan Playby, one of the foundation studs behind ...

I think Rick tht you are probably right on....some dock jobs are better then others.

Way to get it in the bag Katy!!! May the rest of your hunting season be as successful as this

Pm sent

Please tell me he couldn''t have gotten to a pond, swamp or bayou somehow??? You DO live in alligator country

Sure hoping your boy comes home safe and sound.............

2. Yes, I talked to the trainer on a weekly basis while she was in training and got a status report every time. But...that was his word. 3. I chose the trainer because he is the BEST in the country. If you chose the best of the best, why are you suddenly doubting him? In my mind, being in the biz o...

Hmmmm......I guess that coud be a possibility I guess. Somehow I suppose I prefer to think that this "trainer" is a professional who has a reputation and a business he would like to uphold and keep running in order to keep the paychecks coming in. Did you not have opportunity to visit your dog in th...

Awesome job Bernee!!! Congrats!

Our girls go back to work on a part time basis when we start to wean, which is between 3 and 4 weeks of age. They go back full time at 6 weeks.

Probably going through a false pregnancy. If she was in heat in June, she would not have whelped til August and the pups would only be 4 weeks old by Sept. She would have been VERY THIN and those teats would have had the look of having been through the wars! Plus the pups would just be starting to w...

Congrats!

He shows staunchness, intensity, positiveness and lofty style on point and steadyness to wing and shot." Without the above qualities, the comparison between AKC Gun Dog and AF Shooting Dog is a moot point. A dog can run a great ground race all day long but if the staunchness, intensity, positivenes...

Congratulations! SH, MH here you come!

Very NIce!!!!

Pete did a fantastic job in the Open ( I was there) and I heard his performance in the AGD was just as good if not better. Looking forward to the Peach Pie mnext year at the party!!! he is indeed a heck of great BIRD DOG

Congrats To Jim and Drew Carter.

Welcome to the board:) Is this Terry O Leary or Jim Sheridan we are speaking with? :wink: :wink: :uwink: SO Glad to have you aboard here!!!! I can use all the help I can get in the R&W dept! Wendy, NC Quail and I are then only IRWS owners here I beleive..... You've probably heard about my Aidan....C...

aaah...Crakbook here we are!

Wish I could! Hope you have a GREAT event

Oh GOd Casper....that picture of you just made me HOMESICK! Great shot BTW....and I love your Shetland. Can I have him?

I'l trade you one "Peanut" for him

Hope you are considering this as something to keep you active during your retirement/golden years. Dog Trainers are notoriously "poor"

but the reward of doing something you love is well worth the lack of reliable paycheck.

I'm a die hard Chessie fan too.....but Rick and Slistoe are right on. Might look to Whiskey Creek Chessies in NC.... Kathy has some pretty awesome bird dogs . http://www.whiskeycreekchesapeakes.com/id4.html

Yvonne.....This is a 1/2 brother to Hunter

))))

I like the pedigree, probably because its much like mine Ok admittedly it is a stretch. BUT Ezzy says Bang's pedigree is much like the pedigree behind his dogs :wink: And You are now breeding Miss Bang to WHO??? :wink: So.....if Ezzy ever wondered what his line of dogs crossed the Wild Mtn lines wo...

Here is a picture of Travis' "defect dog". <GGG> This is a full brother to my Kiki. DC Mokan Wild Mtn I'm Justa Gigolo x Midas Zippin Red Hot Dot http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff328/k9fitness/FACEakaGunner.jpg Congratulations Travis and Gunner! A job well done and I'm so very glad you were will...

Does she have an underlying skin infection of some sort? Does she have flea allergy dermatitis? what are you using to bathe her in? and like Mbosco asked...what are you feeding? She may be having food or flea intolerance issues that are manifesting with gunky ears and smelly skin ........how are3 he...

Well Ezzy...looks like you and I are goona be related soon

heheheh...go ahead...ask Yvionne why!!!

Welcome back Yvonne!

A really big congratulations to Andre - AKA MAVERICK for his dog, Maverick's stellar performance at the Buckeye Brittany Club's fall trial last week. Maverick powered his way around a course that had not been mown and ripped through cover that was at times well over his head to have 4 finds and one ...

I'm curious here...Has your girl ever been introduced to any other birds in a training situation other then pigeons? Sounds to me that she has not had a good and proper nose full of the game birds you want her to eventually hunt. In spite of what alot of folks believe, with each new game bird there ...

Thanks all

He is in OHIO now and hopefully waiting for me. Can't wait to get this FT season started. Can't wait to see my Beans girl, but most of all I can't wait to hug (ok and kiss) my hubbie......

Welcome to board. Your Lacy is a darling girl. I had the pleasure of running with, and against and of course of watching both her grandfather and great grandfather in action (Whirling Red Taz and Red Sun a Risin)

GREAT gun dogs!
I think you got a good one

or register the pup for you online. The breeder can do that too!

I thought about Rend Lake...wasn't sure how far off his path that would take him. I'll mention it to him when I talk to him today. Thanks Neil!

Hubbie Brian is headed home from bird dog camp. Planning on meeting him at the Buckeye Brittany trial in OH on Friday night. He leaves Larned, KS tomorrow noon time........ Anyone near St Louis, MO or within 100 miles east who can offer suggestions on where he can stop and drop down 2 horses and 19 ...

Very good point Shag! We haul slant loaded in a 4 horse livestock trailer......lots of room to stretch out and adjust themselves. This isn't the case with straight load trailers of any size. The horses are boxed in and confined by the "stalls". Just more fodder for consideration.......I agree 100%. ...

We haul all over the country. For trips that are relatively short (6-12 hours) we leave the horses on board with water and food offered every 8 hours. Water offered every 8-10 hours always. On the longer hauls we make a point to stop and drop everyone at the 12 hour mark or so. If you have horses th...

This recipe sounds delish! Snipe has a similar flavor to woodcock, right? A bit of a liver type flavor? So...when are ya cookin some up and where is my invite to dinner?

Good is almost never cheap. A smooth, safe, sane, sound and strong 4 year old will,in all likelihood become a smooth, safe, sane and STRONGER 5, 6, 7, 8...15 year old. A spooky, skittish two year old will in all likelihood become an even spookier, more skittish adult, unless the owner is a far, far...

I too have a parvo survivor. There is not a thing wrong with her scenting abilities....she is a heck of little bird dog. She contracted parvo at 16 weeks even WITH 2 vaccines on board. The newer virulent strain is capable of breaking through vaccine protocol.....

OMG!!! I feel like a heel....somehow, I missed this post back in June!!! A heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS Casper! A job well done and we couldn't be happier for you!!!! Mac is your first...and will forever remain the standard by which you will judge all others. he is a heck of a dog and probably the ONLY...

what are the registered names of the parents? Guess that doesn't matter since you want to use wyatt.

$6000 to put my DC boy's elbow back together. 2 plates and 13 screws. That was the first time he broke it. The second time was another 1000 and the third time was $1500. Apparently he had stress fractured the elbow to begin with somewhere around April 2005 when he ran in the 2005 AKC Pointing Dog Na...

Serious? Don't you "play" Ezzy? LOLOL. I know that after a long day in the saddle at a field trial I'm wiped out. And usually prety chilled due to my fatigue more then anything.....think about it :roll: The same happens to the dogs sometimes, especially if they have little to no coat and are extreme...

How do you know the dog isn't cold? My Mom's little Schnauzer vibrates if she happens to be sleeping in a spot that has even the slightest draft, even in the warmest temps . She prefers to snuggle into something. I keep her clipped down VERY short ( #15 blade ) so, like a GSP or pointer she has no i...

The roading is more of a pulling/cardio workout ratherr then a "running" workout. How old is the dog you are roading? If the dog is pacing with the ATV that is a good start. Let the dog get happy with the activity, don't go fast and set a good even pace.....even if you think its too slow. Slow is go...

Welcome, welcome, welcome!! Glad to have you aboard JIM! Best of success with your upcoming surgery and looking forward to all your adventures with that Labbie pup!

Don't forget that when you pour your slab to do so on a slight slope so that they drain when you hose them out. Looks great though!!!

Sounds like a hot spot starting. Has Gunner had a bath recently? Soap residue will create a hot spot. You may have irritated the skin with the slicker brush ( Yes it can happen and is easy to do) by going over the same place a tad too hard, a tad too often . Another possibility that comes to mind is...
