Many opinions on this subject, but I do both.

Depending on when you send him, I can highly recommend Rich Barber of Outbak Kennels (not Outback) who does his Winter training on a plantation in GA. He trained two of my GSP's and did an excellent job. I have heard nothing but good things and positive comments regarding Walnut Hill Kennels in GA f...

Ok, call this overkill. Getting ready to spend about 3 weeks in Kansas between now and mid Jan. Replacing two pair of Cabela's upland boots that seem to leak. Have purchased a pair of Meindl's. Have on order a pair of Irish Setter Wingshooter's(thanks cstokes), but also looking at a pair of Ll bean ...

bossman

If the trainer asked you to come out at the end of the month, I think thats a good sign. Training takes time and it happens in "stages", so in my opinion, no need to "bug" the trainer. Let him/her to their job. In my opinion, most trainers are not "communicator's. I usually check with the gentleman ...

bossman

Beans tech pants and Cabela's briarguard pants work for me

bossman

Well Topher40....What is the "right price"? Feel free to send me a pm. Thanks

bossman

Try Jim Gorley. 785-249-4316. Check him out at www.setterdogs.com. Great guy. Works very hard for his clients. We'll be hunting with him for a few days after Thanksgiving. Has good dogs. This will be our second year hunting wild birds on private land with Jim, but have hunted with him for several ye...

bossman

Thanks for all the good advice. Ordering a 20 ga CZ Ringneck as a backup to my 20 Benelli Montefltro. Spending a few weeks in Dec and Jan in Kansas. Have a 28ga Ringneck thats tons of fun, but thought it might cause a few "cripples" that late in the season that you all might find. :D Don't want a ba...

bossman

Man mngsp, what are you doing up so early? Bud's Gun Shop it is. Seemed to be a good spot, but your recommendation seals the deal. Thanks!

bossman

Never purchased a shotgun online. Anyone have any experience or make a recommendation. Thanks, I'm driving in the dark on this one. I have found Bud's Gun Shop and Cheaper than Dirt Gun's.

bossman

I guess it's too early for you, but there is a litter advertised under the Dogs for Sale section ..BDK's Sin City Wildcard Litter...that I'd be all over if I were looking for a pup. Good luck on whatever you do!

bossman

Very nice! Congratulations to all. Must be a huge thrill.

bossman

Congratulations! Don't know you but its obvious your quality people and deserve much success.

bossman

All I can do is agree with ACooper. Those two videos are now even available through Pheasants Forever. Good luck with your pups!

bossman

I've got someone looking for a Franchi Instinct Sl 20 with 26" barrel. If not, a CZ 20 ga Ringneck... I am told the Affinity, as well as most 20 ga auto's, have the same "loading" issue. Thanks

bossman

The Ol "Nail on the head". It's a 20ga and looking for a "back up" 20 auto.

bossman

Is the Affinity pretty easy to load? The only knock I have on my Montefeltro is it can wear out the thumb after a day of constant shooting. Is the Affinity better in that regard? How about the AL 48? (Does this need to be a new thread?) Thanks

bossman

In all due respect, I'd be doing things diffrerently. How was he "accidentally" introduced to gunfire??? Why are you taking him to the gun club in the first place?? Different dogs mature differently. Brittany's may mature just a little slowe than some other breeds ( no offense to Brittany owners, I ...

bossman

I may have missed it in the previous posts, what has your dog been introduced to the gun??? By the way, good looking pup.

bossman

So now what are your plans when Kimber does come into season? Enjoy your new pup!

bossman

Sorry you had a problem. I don't like to change foods. Had a long talk with the sales mgr at Victor and found him to be very helpful. He asked several questions and then suggested a formula. As I've said, I couldn't be happier! I noticed there are two dealers in Austin and several around the city. I...

bossman

Thats great!! Happy to hear the good news.

bossman

Call local bird dog clubs. Find a "snake avoidance" seminar. Here in Texas, I never run my dogs on wild birds until we have a freeze ( I usually send them somewhere for training in the Summer that has fewer snakes, but that, ofcourse, would be anywhere). Also, check with your vet to get an opinion o...

bossman

My thoughts are with you! Beautiful dog

bossman

As I have mentioned previously on the forum, I am very pleased with Victor. Made in Texas and should be available at one of your local feed stores

bossman

Very nice indeed! But where in Texas is she training. Man...It's hot around here

bossman

Please do. I really feel guilty not leaving him with Rich to campaign. My wife and I just really enjoy hunting him with our other two Shorthairs. As a matter of fact, ordering one of those new Garmin Alphas' to keep up the the rascal. Good luck

bossman

Well I may not be objective since my avatar dog is out of Guy. My wife and I have had bird dogs for 40 years. We have loved them all, but would have to say Luke is the best. Has it all in the field...style, animation, range, great nose. Delightful in the house. OFA excellent. I would think pups of y...

bossman

Ezzy... Did you field trial your Brittany's in the mid-west in the late 70's, 80's, 90's? Are you familiar with Loyd Budd (he finished one of our Brittany's for us and ran him in the National All Age Championish). I can fill up a page on Mary and what she has done for the field trial community. We t...

bossman

I can not imagine Mary Karbiner not being in the Hall of Fame. She totally deserving of the honor!!!!

bossman

Local feed dealers. Now have one 5 miles east of the house and 5 miles west of the house carrying the feed. Have a neighbor that shows Poodles that has made the switch.

bossman

Georgia Boy...I'm paying $32 plus some tax. I was paying about $53 per bag for my previous feed. At first I almost felt guilty, but no question, very happy with Victor! The guy that owns the feed store say's he's increasing his weekly order regularly.

bossman

Thanks to those on the forum that recommended Victor Dog Food. I made a switch to their Hi Pro Plus ( 30/20) about two months ago from a good, but much more expensive brand. Could not be more satisfied. Dog's look good, energy levels very good, clean up is easier and actually feeding a little less. ...

bossman

We started using several years ago since we travel so much with our dog's during hunting season. Really seemed to help so just continued the rest of the season (no ezzy, not going into detail, that too is my opinion and I'm stickin' to it). Oomph is actually made about 3 miles from the house. Will h...

bossman

I agree with the above. All mentioned are good products. We have settled on Total - Zymes Plus. Tablets are just easier for use.

bossman

You bet, and proud of it!

Great trainer, great facilities.

Thanks to everyone from the Lone Star German Shorthair Club who so unselfishly volunteered their time to conduct snake avoidance training today. This was my fifth year to take advantage of the program and they really do and outstanding job ( 105 degrees today). Thanks to them, my dog's are one step ...

bossman

If you have a good trainer, many more positives than negatives. I have always sent atleast one of our dogs to the trainer for the Summer. It's good for a dog to learn how to be a dog. Good luck. I'm sure you will be happy

bossman

Will be thinking of you

bossman

Will be thinking of you. Always room in Texas. Just bring some birds!

bossman

This has been some really good stuff. As many of us have commented on other threads, I feed 30/20 all year. Just less in the "off season" ( and my pedigree finally worked)

bossman

Hondo...Great question. I'm looking forward to the replies.

bossman

First of all....Great web site! My wife and I have hunted with Jim for about 8 years. If I were to say all the good things I could say about Jim, I'd run out of room on the Forum. Truely love's dogs. Honest, my wife and I trust him explicitly. His dog's are exceptionally well trained an well cared f...

cjhills.."I did not call everybody that disagrees with me a liar"...But in my opinion, you did...."hasn't bred many dogs or is lying". Plus you added that somehow Independance Day "gives us the right to go on here and insult people" Well no , it does not give you the right to insult people, thats ju...

bossman

1doggie, appreciate your comment. Don't know of a contract that will protect your reputation. It is your ongoing conduct and behavior that creates and maintains a reputation. Imo, just do the right thing, as I'm sure you will as, again imo, the great majority of the sporting dog world does, and ever...

bossman

Well now we have added "lying" to the equation. Great

If the original poster decides to use a contract, I would hope he shares the key points with us. One thing for sure, Wyatt should throw some good looking pups. Gook luck

bossman

I find the tone of some of this conversation somewhat disappointing. "Dishonest", "untrustworthy" "low life". Man, what type of crowed are you running with ??? I have had bird dogs, "performance " dogs since 1977. Field trialed for 20 years and now just a pretty serious hunter. Looking back I think ...

bossman

Gosh, you asked for opinions and it appears that your mind is already set on some type of contract. Fine..it's your dog and I wish you luck. But what exactly are you trying to protect yourself from?..Not trying to be sarcastic, but just don't "get it". Thanks
