Really bad in the V world. Don't even get me started on that. 1,500 for a pup? Wow.

V-John

Ezzy how to you live in IL with all of those crazy gun laws and rescues that don't want hunting dogs to go to hunting families! It ain't easy. The people who wouldn't place a dog if it was going to be hunted was in Iowa though. Right in the middle of pheasant country. Plus you couldn't keep it in a...

I was out hunting today in the area. I live about 20 minutes from JC. The roads were a bit slick, but tomorrow, when the snow melts you are looking at a lot of muddy roads. Obviously the paved roads are going to be fine. The gravel will be ok, dirt roads, well, you know. As far as the hunting is con...

V-John

Doing ok, thanks for asking. I picked him up last night, he had a deep cut, muscle damaage but thankfully no tendon damage. That was my number one worry, so he had muscle stitched up then had the skin stitched up. Man, that cut was so clean, it was amazing....

grgdog66, Thanks for the info on the website.And you have me all fired up for some Pheasant hunting and Im still 7-8 months away from getting to Kansas :) Thanks again! Daniel I'm Sure Ft Riley has a Sportsman's center (Ft Sill does anyway) so you can probably hunt there on post. I hunted Ft. Riley...

V-John

Good to hear from you! I was beginning to wonder where the heck you've been! We definitely need to get together... Are you still on the PDJ board as well?

V-John

I live in Manhattan, have lived there for a lot of years. Shoot me a PM if you want.

V-John

Where are you PCSing too?

That the greyhounds are sweet as all get out. Especially if you go through a rescue group, sometimes a lot of the socialization is done for you...

V-John

Brad, how much are they going to cost with the recievers? Can you post that, or should I contact you independently.

V-John

Maurice knows a great deal about this, and if he says they are good, I believe him.

What about getting some wire baskets? A bit more sturdy, and if you put enough straw in there, you wouldn't have to worry about the eggs falling out. (also if the wires were close enough together on the wire baskets...)

V-John

Good looking dog, and glad to hear you adopted an older fella!

V-John

Have any of you guys had any success using a plastic (say tupperware or something similar) box mounted on the side of the wall as a nesting box? I've heard of guys using part of a bucket, but what do you think about a plastic tupperware box? If so, how big would you suggest?

Ace, check your PM's...

Hey guys, With football season coming up, I thought that I would start up a fantasy football league for some of the guys on various boards. It's going to be an Auto pick draft on Yahoo, and it's a free league for braggin' rights. So far there are six guys from the Pointing Dog Journal board, and wou...

V-John

Buckeye, yes, I am that guy. I was so embarrassed. At least I made an impression, shoot, you still remember me and Riley!

Thanks for the compliment... Again, my prayers and thoughts go out to her...

V-John

I'm glad to here that... I've only met her once when she was judging a field trial for a dog that I was running and she was the nicest, kindest, most helpful person. She even didn't laugh too loud when I tripped and fell as I went in to flush a bird that my dog had pointed. She was so helpful, and k...

V-John

I personally don't see a whole lot in temperment per se, but I do see a lot of the field dogs that have a lot more drive and energy. Again, though it goes back to the breeding. Unfortunately, there is a lot of difference in between the field dogs and the show dogs. I've seen a few show dogs that cou...

V-John

Hey guys,

For those of you that have made your own launchers. Does it matter that they are different brands? I mean, what brand have you guys had success with? Any help would be appreciated as Ebay has a ton of different brands, and I want to get the right one. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you could help me out here. I have a little coop, and I had five pigeons a while ago. I say HAD because one of them died. I had noticed that he was puffed up all the time, and shivering, but didn't think too much of it. Well, I went out to the coop and found him sto...

Someone said something about Derby points going to the ten that are required for the Championships... How many points do you get for a Derby win? How are the other broke dog points distrubuted? The same as the Derby points in terms of placement? Are there any differences in points earned from a walk...

V-John

Hey fellas, was wondering if you all could answer a quick question. I'm trying to make a set of bobs for my pigeon coop. What would you guys say should be the minimum height for a set of bobs? Will seven inches work? 8? Thanks guys!

V-John

Good looking pup! Pretty dog! Got two of them myself, where did you get the fella?

V-John

Do you guys break your dogs of going near moving vehicles? I've heard of some guys do it, but... How would a fella go about it? For safeties sake? I mean, there are times when the dog is out of sight, and I can't correct him with the collar... Thanks for your help.

V-John

I will post some here later. However. I would like to forewarn EVERYONE that I was cursed with the inability to cut a straight edge using a saw. So needless to say, there are, uh, gaps, in certain spots... I like to think of them as promoting airflow... I still have some more work to do, but I recie...

V-John

Thanks for your replies guys! They were greatly appreciated!

V-John

Hey guys, I finally got a coop together and would like to get some homers. From what I understand, feral pigeons may or may not home or fly back to the coop. I guess I'm needing some homers or something to get started with. Any suggestions? I'm in Kansas, in the Manhattan area. Thanks guys! John

Justin, This past weekend, a lady flushed a bird with gunners on both sides of her. She then proceeded to draw her blank gun, and stepped in front of the gunner to her right. The gunner coud not fire. She fired her blank gun at the bird, thankfully the bird flew to the left so I could have a shot at...

V-John

Ok guys. I just spent the last two weekends gunning for an AKC field trial, and an AKC hunt test. I thought that I would give you some pointers coming from a gunner’s perspective in order to make your experience more pleasurable. 1. Gunning is a thankless job that nobody wants. If you do your job ri...

V-John

Sure... Sounds good to me... Count me in...

V-John

But I've been pulling a lot of crud out of my dog's eyes as well. How exactly do you guys flush the eyes out? Squirt into the corner and let the dog blink, or where do you guys squirt? Thanks...

V-John

Hey guys, one more question. What does DC mean? What does it take to be a DC?

V-John

I have the neoprene one from Cabelas. (Orange) And if at all possible, I would take your dog with you, (with someone along of course) and run in, (if that's possible at Cabelas... So much to look at! ) get the vest and then size your dog in the parking lot. The sizing is not that accurate because al...

V-John

I used to just let my dogs sit in the seat and they would be pretty good about sleeping during the long trips, or just hanging out during the short ones. If I had the top off, I bought a harness that would attach to a seatbelt connector, and I'd buckle them in. That always worke for me, as the seats...

Both of our V's are in the house and sleep with us at night. When we leave the house, then in the crates they go. Since I have a 13 month, and a 4 month old, that's where they go. To reinforce the potty training for the younger one, (we have no doggie door... I would like one, but my wife's complete...

V-John

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Especially seeing and reading how you loved your pup so much... I know that I feel that my closest friends have four legs instead of two. Everytime I hear of another dog passing it gets a bit "dusty" around the computer... And t...

V-John

I thought that you guys might be able to help me out here. On Friday, I took my 16 month old V out for a run. This was at about 830 at night or so, so it was relatively cool. He ran pretty hard when we first got there like he always does. He usually ranges out pretty far and I couldn't see him for a...
