Last year, around Octberish, I bought a new pair of Mendle Denalis from Cabelas. I had gone through my Danners, Rocky's etc. All seemed to leak very badly. I was directed to the Denalis by a friend. I worked hard to break these boots in. Including wearing them all summer during training. Now they ar...

Your dog is Grand-Sire to our pup on the Dam's side and was literally the dog that caught our attention while searching the country for him. We wanted a pup with a lineage in part back to our first pup that I bought from Dan Hoke years ago. We are sorry that you have lost your dog :( Hotpepper, thi...

Very very nice! Might make me think about getting a shorthair..........................................

I may as well ask............................hens are legal? Must be planted or released birds in PA? Dont know the rules.

What about a club owned collar that is put on each dog by the judge//scout or whatever. Cant cheat if it is placed on the dog in front of everyone. I have no dog in this fight. Just trying to find a solution that fits everyone. But as was said. Cheaters will find a way t cheat. I have heard of peopl...

I think what happens is, in the beginning, those pros are happy to help a newbie that wants answers.

Train the dog not the breed.

A DD is a dog just like the rest. He is a V-dog and needs to be exposed to waterfowl, upland and fur if you would like. But dont get caught up in thinking you have to train it any differently then any other V-dog breed. Its a dog.

Went goose hunting today, Banks retrieved his firs goose, shot one at about 60 yards, but only winged it. i myself wouldn't want to deal with an angry 20lb goose! Isaac and Banks Shooting a goose at 60 yards? You must have been using HeviShot. 20 lb goose :roll: Most all of us overestimate the weig...

Munster

My concern is that I will eventually have to train her to retrieve. No need to be concerned. FF doesnt HAVE to be harsh. Watch the Evan Gram videos. There is no point in having a dog that is going to mutalate the birds you shoot. You may as well just deal with the issue now and not let it get worse.

I wish you would not have called me a liar earlier and I would have left it alone Munster. I now know why the sensitivity came up with you. http://www.huntingmunsterlanders.com/Photo-Gallery.html if that's what floats your boat great! This is America!! But don't deny that the fact that an unknowing...

Munster

Hey, I think we have answered the op's question as best we could, but with his indulgence I would like to know more about the fox/cat killing test. How would trap enough foxes to run such a test? Now cats are readily available, and perhaps a good use for the feral ones. The cat sitting in my lap ju...

Munster

Munster So you're calling me a liar but won't elaborate on the testing requirements. I agree 100% on the bad breeding but they're bred to pass the requirement set in place. A shorthair treeing a squirrel is a long ways away from a DL killing a fox on command for a judge to see. With testing require...

Munster

The German testing requires a kill also for their sharpness requirements. I've lost an English pointer to a very sharp DL. I dont know the DL you are talking about, but I can tell you with 100% confidence that the requirement of a sharpness test and the killing of your dog have nothing to do with e...

Munster

I think a DL or a male Small Munsterlander will fit your needs. The few Large Munsters I have not been impressed with. But, I would stick to the German variety of the Longhaar(DL) and pretty similar to the same with the Small Munsterlander. I have 3 Small Munsterlanders. 2 of which I imported from G...

This was told to me when I lost my dog to parvo in the 90's sooooooooooo, things may have changed. But I was told that Parvo can live/incubate in the ground/dirt/grass for over a year. So, I wouldnt be comfortable sending any dog over there for awhile!
Hope what I heard is wrong.

Surgery. All went well she is still every bit the devil she was before. Think we got over on the vet some how. I was thinking about this the other day. Baja's surgery fro this hook removal was 380.00. The other day, Max was diagnosed with anaplasmosis. The visit and tests cost us 700.00, then the Do...

Munster

Remember this one?

Baja at 10 weeks old thought a stink bait filled hook was an a meal! Crazy stuff. Thanks D!

Munster

I think there isnt anything wrong with what your doing, and I do it myself with my dogs. But I would pull it off of the wall just incase there was a miss step by her. I also have a pull tab on the collar so if they miss a beat it shuts down. Saftey first.

Love the enthusiasm!

Munster

yup. i was out bid but didnt care cuz I had the bean vest.

Munster

There was a big legal battle over that vest back in "04 I believe, actually Bean started selling the Mother vest a year later they made there own version, and the court battle ensued....I still use my Mother vest and am looking for another one used in good shape to buy and put away. May look at the...

Munster

yoou see the Bean vest to the right in the picture? I could never figure out what those straps are for across the back. ???

Munster

Its getting close to hunting time here in Iowa. Duck opens late Sept. and then Pheaz late October. First, what KEY items do you carry in your vest for the dog and yourself. Then if you could only take 4 items, what would you take? I carry a first aid kit, Knife, pliers,a pair of dog boots, water and...

Munster

I have the bean vest aswell and I bought one for Hubby last x-mas. I love the vest. The shell pockets rock and the whole box of shells fit right in them so when you are done you just remove the box. I must have a newer version because I havent really had any of the issues mentioned. I hunt about 2-3...

Took my dogs out dove hunting. The opener was a lot slower then last year but I m sure it had to do with the crops of sunflowers being destroyed by flooding. First day with Max and Abby . I am ashamed to say that I do not hve any pictures of the birds from that hunt. When we were done we were so tir...

Munster

I think the dog looks good too.

But the set up is to stale, boring and slow. I dont think you would work a wild bird so slow...... Get there, work the bird, keep the dog guessing, honest and on his toes. SOmetimes if he hits the scent, cut the bird loose right away. make it fun and make him think.

Munster

Very very nice! Will you take a run at the VC?

Munster

To tell you the truth and I know this is going to be taken wrong. From your pictures I have felt he w as a bitnof a chunk.
4-5 cups quit a lot. Also with a big chested dog be happy he eats slow. You have things to worry about like torsion.

Munster

Thanks for that posting - it was awesome to see all the stages. I too, was waiting with baited breath to see if Max was going to mess things up (or if you were!). So glad to see you guys made it through! They have a way of giving you a pucker factor on test day. I had no reason to think he would mo...

Munster

Very very good! It is a lot of fun isnt it.........not to mention nerve racking.
We also ran on the 18th and got a 204. So far there are 57 prize I's this year and of those 26 are 204................I was bored last night!

Munster

Thanks

Munster

Looks like you are ready. The track is what gets most though. So many variables.

Munster

I think Mr. Walker said when you have a good litter, you just reach your hand down in the box and pick one up!

I have a male Field Champion Brittany with 41 field trial wins, both his sire and dam are in the Brittany Field Trail Hall of Fame, and I am sure a littermate sister will be. He has been used by very few as a stud, including me. OFA'ed Good and CRERFed. The hard truth is there are better dogs out t...

Yup, they hold inward aggression because the other dogs got to keep their nutz! :roll: I think that trainer is high.

He isnt going to starve himself.

He will eat when he is hungry.

EZZY, what is neat is you and some others have seen this pup come full circle on this site. I dont know how to look things up from the time I got him until now. But would be a neat story line.

Munster

you guys are great, thank you very much!!!!

Awesome job congrats Munster. Hope I can get that kind of performance this weekend. I am sure it will be just fine for you. Kelly is a great place to train/test. I didnt get to see you train, but I am sure you and your pup will do fine and have a great time. Ms. Cage. I hope so to. The things we ha...

I would not give an aggressive dog away. That becomes liability. I would put him down. IF this is what is going on.

Munster

Video it. Unless this is a medical issue, it didnt JUST happen. There were signs leading up to it that you missed. He shouldnt be GAURDING anything. This isnt his job or place. I dont want to upset any tree huggers or kinder gentler trainers here, but the way I do it he would submit or pass out. BUT...

Munster

its hard to gauge what is going on. Another problem is you dont know how to read a dog, so having you do to much can cause more problems. Even how you are reacting to the current problem..............is causeing a problem. HAving said that, Shags is on it with the lead. If it were my dog, and I am c...

Munster

You made a visual crutch. Yes it is fixable. Yes, you will need birds. No, you dont NEED to buy a remote trap, but one would really help right now
But you also need someone close that can help guide you along.
