Do you have deer ticks in your area?? Sounds to me like a bulls eye rash, and that is lymes. I found a deer tick on Vern and a bulls eye rash, took him immediately to the vet, and he is on Amoxycillin twice a day for two weeks. According to my Vet, the Lymes Test is not effective until 6 weeks after...

I am a big fan of French Brittany's, but then I have one. I hunt, and do Field Trials and Hunt Tests with Vern. He is my buddy, and sleeps in bed with me. These dogs are fantastic companions, and in the field can run with most dogs. They do not have the big run All Age dogs have, but Vern will hunt ...

Chris,

With as many entries as there were this year, I could see it be a 3 day event. I think we are going to see an increase in participation in Walking Trials in the coming years.

Chris and Jacob,

I want to say thanks for putting on a good trial. I thought the trial ran great and it would be hard to see how it could go any smoother

French Guild 16ga SXS made between 1895 and 1930
Noble & Sons 12ga SXS made in the 1950s
Bernadelli 20ga SXS Not sure I like this gun as it is too new, and has a single trigger.

I am a fan of old SXSs and double triggers

Looking for and older 28ga SXS and an older 20ga SXS

Has anyone used any software for breeding purposes. I know there is software available that can compare pedigrees and the like. I am wondering what the pros and cons are.

Thank you,

Like you, I was offered a job at a lot more money. There was no travel involved, but it would have severly limited my days off, and I already had 3 trips planned this year for trials and whatnot with Vern. Money means little to me, if I can't use it doing the things I love. I recently had someone co...

I think everyone is jealous because the Britts are such good looking dogs!! Oh wait it is the French Britts that are the good looking ones. Chris is the format for retrieves the same as it was at last years trial, or are you going to do callbacks for the retrieves? We heard last year that it might b...

I will be there on Thursday. I have been invited to ride along with someone who will be taking pictures, and I intend to take my camera as well. I can hardly wait, it should be a great time, even though I can only stay for one day on my way to GA. So if you see some poor scmuck having trouble stayin...

Hey Chris,

Can you email me a premium when they are available. I think I am probably already your mail list, but I want to make sure.

Thank you,

Is there anything that a non mounted spectator can see. I pretty much doubt it, but i will be traveling through the area on my way to GA, and think it would be interesting to stop.

I agree John. I field trial UKC, AKC, and FCI, plus Hunt Tests in AKC. A dog has to have good manners. UKC and FCI if a dog does not have good manners and respond to the handlers commands, pick the dog up, you are done. Vern also sleeps in bed with me, and when we were in France, he got to experienc...

I give my dogs Ivomec, have been using it for about 7 months now. I squirt it on a piece of bread and they eat it. Much cheaper than Heartgard. Make sure you use Ivomec for cattle and swine, and not for horses. Second do not use Ivomec Plus, and lastly do not give it to hearding breeds. I got mine a...

I would love to get a copy, My email address is in my profile, otherwise you could email it to me at mdinsmore@oppenheimer.com also.

Hey Chris You shall certainly be seeing Vern and I around. Vern and I have a full schedule for the first half of the year. We will be in GA, AZ for UKC Field Trials, Doing 3 or 4 AKC Field Trials here in Minnesota, and I am planning at being at your Hunt Test among others. We will not see you at our...

Hello,

I think it would be very interesting to see them, and how things may have cHanged over the years.

If you scan them in, please send a copy my way,

Thank you,

Which breeding will you be getting a dog from, the early one? I do know a couple of the dogs, as they are from the same kennel Vern is from. I also see a dog from Shipleys. Kali has Nat in her pedigree, and he was a great dog. I met the breeder of Nat, Pierre Terran when I was in France in Oct. Hank...

Thank you for the link

That one I am not familiar with. Do they have a web site?

Hello, LOF is the European registration number for a dog. When a dog comes into the US, it has to have an export pedigree, and then when you register it with UKC or AKC you get a registraion number form the. OW and BW, I could be mistaken, but I believe are referring to the color of the dog. Orange\...

It is always hard to know where to get a dog from. I have one from Mooney's, and I have done a lot with John. He can be difficult to work with at times, but in the end, I think he cares for the breed, and produces some of the best dogs in the country on a consistent basis. I have talked to many othe...
