A book not in print now but very good is by Deane Harris, "Training the Ultimate Bird Dog". If you locate a copy you will be glad to get it. This is his web site, and you might like the breeding of his dogs. http://www.wingsweptllewellins.com/

One great looking pup! I had a Lew that was Kings breeding on the bottom and Williams Chapman on the top. He was one bird crazy dog. As a pup he would chase the crap birds for ever. He even pointed them on the power lines. He worked well for me and was with me everyday at work. Easy to train also. H...

The person I talked to, used f-1 (first generation offspring) for the mature and chicks. He released them for recovery of quail in the area. A 12% carry over is pretty good even for wild quail. he worked closley with Tall Timbers research center here in florida. Thay have some good information about...

I believe it was one hen to thrity chicks. The hen is with them from right after hatching andreleased wirh them. A dusting asrea is needed in the pen also.

King did a lot to save the llewellin. His record keeping along with some problems with russian dogs he brought over. here is a link to many llewellin breeders.

i have spoke with a man raising F1 quail. He told me that he puts a adult F1hen with his chicks from the start. Grown in flight pens with little human contact. They are getting around 12% carry over to the next year.
Has anyone here done this?

I have used jeffers Pet supply for years. have never used bio spot though.

Welcome to the forum. I too am looking forward to the stories of your hunting with the two. Ask about the training in the training section and I bet the lab guys will help you.

I am saying a prayer for this family and yours.

Okvet03,
Do you know why in Canada heartworm preventive can be bought over the counter but here in the USA it can not. My vet told me that if a dog tested positive for heartworm he keeps them on the preventive. It does not make sence.

Brady came to us by way of a statement made around a campfire that we would like a red whippet to match our greyhound. Cindy spoke up saying she raised field trial whippets and had a litter of red whippets. A trip to Atlanta and the breeders home the next afternoon when the field trial was over. Sho...

Gun girl,
Welcome to this forum and hope you will enjoy it. I find this a great place to hear many different and varing opinions giving one the option to go with what seems to make sence to them.

dlfl

I would think that a butterfly net or pole crab net would work to catch the birds. We used a pole crab net at a pet store I worked at to catch the birds that got loose.

dlfl

Grant,
I am so sad to hear this of your dog. Get all the lovin in while you can!

dlfl

I feel so sad after reading this. May the time go fast till you can think of him and not tear up.

dlfl

if you have a photo program use it to resize using resolution of 72. You can also resize in Photo Bucket using the edit feature. Check other avatar posts in this forum for other ideas.

Welcome to the forum. Itis the best one.

dlfl

Great looking pups! Wishing you the best of luck in their development.

I have a fenced yard yard that I let my pup stay in. We yard train and play out there. The one side is lined with old cedar trees and a large oak. The cedars are trimmed of the lower branches up to about 10 feet. This allows a very good view of the inside of the tree limbs. My pup spends hours point...

Glad to see you here.

Welcome to the forum. Any hunting dog will need exercise to keep from driving you batty.

dlfl

Looks like Jim's dog will have good weather. I believe his dog runs in the second brace today. I hope the two dogs, handlers, and scouts have a great day.

dlfl

Welcome to the forum. I enjoy this one about the best of the ones I read.

Steel shot on snipe must be different each state. In Florida snipe do not require steel shot.

Ben,
Good to have you about! A good looking pup!

Benny,
Rye is now 9 months old. When he fills out he will be a pretty big Lew. He has to be close to 50 lbs now.

dlfl

Benny, Rye has turned out to be a great looking Llew, thank you. Most land is now planted in slash pine as St. Joe paper company owned most of the land in the panhandel of Florida. Some natural long leaf , short leaf , and sand pine still exist. The long leaf with its wire grass understudy has mostl...

I did Rye's first bird work yesterday. This is a shot of his first flying quail experience.

good to have you Nick.

Welcome to the forum. I was lucky to have spent 6 1/2 years in the Grand forks area.

dlfl

you need a photo editor program , use it to resize the desired photo to a maximine width of 210 pixels, height: 210 pixels, file size: 292.97 KiB.

I have found that if I make photo 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches or smaller and a resolution of 72 it works fine.

dlfl

OFP,
It is always a pleasure to have young people take up our sport. Hope to see pictures of your new dog and the retrievers.

dlfl

He posted that he hired two people I believe.

dlfl

I love working with puppies.

dlfl

That is a great looking pup!

dlfl

I know of a fellow in Ireland who uses a Lurcher for bird hunting. It is a whippet border collie mix.

dlfl

Welcom to GDF. Good looking pup

dlfl

Welcome,
Two great looking younguns!

dlfl

Be careful using the e collar when hunting.

Dirtdober,
I believe that Snipe are the only shore bird that are legal to hunt. There is a season on them and many in Texas hunt them. Check out http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/ if you want to talk snipe.

Benny,
My post was not about your photo, I was explaining why I posted a close up of a dead bird. I did not look at your thread as I had participated in it.

By the way, my next snipe cooking will be an experiment with Caribbean Jerk spices. I hope to give a report on the results afterwords.

dlfl

I normally am not a fan of dead game photos. A friend shot the one above of one of my birds from 12/24/08 and I liked it. It shows how beautiful the bird is even after being shot.

dlfl

dlfl

I too understand what the testing is for and why it was put in to effect. I might of been stirring the pot!

dlfl

OK, now I must make a comment . Dogs DNA makers have come a long way and many can be identified as to breeds used in its past. I propose all pointer breeders send their dogs DNA to one of the centers that will evaluate for breeds making up their dog. How many pointers will come back with greyhound i...

dlfl

Think I will set back and watch this last one. LOL

dlfl

If the parents have not been DNA'ed that is the problem.
