Thanks Don, that means alot.

ohiogsp

I am sorry, 10 yrs is way to young. It is so hard when one of our friends leaves us.

ohiogsp

Thank you, This way it will be here for people to read for years to come.

If you check the directions for use, the 5-in-1 calls for twice the amount the 3-in-1 does, so it remains substantially more expensive. And my pigeons and game birds apparently have not needed its extra benefits, which doesn't mean others won't. But please know I'm not knocking your suggestions. I'...

ohiogsp

The sand you are talking about is fine to use. The 12-15 birds is alot for that pen. You will see more losses (bird not coming back) and more sickness for sure. The bobs can be left up for a while then slowly dropped. Read my post about starting with pigeons and you will know how to do it.

ohiogsp

Probably semi-anually unless I seen somthing that did not look right in them.

ohiogsp

Here is a link to a 5-1. I could not find the exact one I have but this is very simular and they may not make the one I have anymore. This treats for most worms also. I think if you used this as your one and only med. your birds would stay pretty healthy. I am really into the health side of pigeons ...

Most my V perches are commercial made ones. Here is a pic. They are a 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 board 5 inches long with the V's being about 6 inches long. The ones I made I copied the commercial ones.

So, you want to use pigeons to train your dogs. Here is an article to help you do that. If you use the methods and information here you will have easy sucess. "Young birds" (yb's) You want to start your loft with young birds. The age would be from 1 month to 3 months. If they are older than 3 months...

ohiogsp

You are going to see a large number of gsp owners here. Reason is cause they are the best.

ohiogsp

Yes, the more open the better for hawks. You can make a fold open door on the front of my style loft. I usually cover the front section of mine with plastic in the winter. I also put 2x4's to the ground from the aviaryies of mine cause I had one flip one time. This has stoped it so far. The dog in m...

I have switched also and love it so far. I always fed the performance before.

Under 2 years is too young for sure but anything over that is good.

ohiogsp

I'll get back to ya. I will have to get the dam side.

ohiogsp

They will be ready this weekend and the dam's owner sent me some pics. They are here in Toledo if anyone is interested.

ohiogsp

The loft is good for up to 24 birds. More than that you will have more birds not come back and more sickness. I don't use birds from a pair that are on eggs cause if it don't come back or something you loose both babies. These lofts are the perfect size for training dogs cause you can keep enough to...

It is simular to this one. http://www.uplandbirddog.com/training/loft.html

I have never been a alvocate of books or reading a method. I like to see it done and videos are great. I use to post on their upland bird dog site long ago and knew about the method and nothing compares to seeing it.

Hello, there is a bunch of us near toledo. Welcome.

ohiogsp

Yes, Brad Higgins on here sells the dvds. Bill West was a genius with dogs. The video is not real great but the training methods are. Good luck

Hope you are not talking about the other Bill West. The one I am talking about is the West/Gibbins method.

Friend of mine was talking about a pair of pigions he sold to a japanese dude, got 50 grand per bird. I bout crapped me drawers when he told me that. He raises pheas, quail and other species of birds. Your friend must be a famous racer. What is his name? I know there are some pigeons worth $200,000...

ohiogsp

They are just pigeons. You hunt them anywhere and see them everywhere.

ohiogsp

Bobs are the bars or whatever you use that hang down. Bobs are part of the trap.

ohiogsp

How old are the birds? Have they flown from anouther loft? Where did you get them?

ohiogsp

Also some vets have no clue on what the tail lenght should and if the person that breeds them just drops them of and says "cut the tails". Then you have no idea what you will get. I have heard lots of horror stories about that. I tell my vet where to cut them and stand there and watch. I usually go ...

ohiogsp

Thanks guys. There was 12 pups and I think 3 died. My dog must be pretty potant cause they only locked up one time. The first time the customer brought the dog he tied with her and after that he would not have anything to do with her. It is like he knew or something.

ohiogsp

Or 5 pigeon lofts with no power in them!! I feel your pain. We have had our fair share of cold and snow and I am just tired of it.

ohiogsp

My avatar dog B.A. has some pups on the ground. This is not my litter he was just the stud, but I got some pics. Here they are. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a223/crazyt25/P2170181.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a223/crazyt25/P2170182.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a223/crazyt25/P2...

ohiogsp

You want to be there when they have some of the crops out and are finishing the rest up. The birds hide in the last fields that are up and when they cut them that is the best time to be there. I have no idea when this is and it would be different from year to year somewhat. We have a farmer in Iowa ...

I got one that puts her tail down on fur. She is the closest german bred dog I have, and likes fur alot.

ohiogsp

Nice job!!!

ohiogsp

Because the Master title cancels out the SH so it would not show up as a title anyway but it is not allowed by the AKC either.

ohiogsp

I said that and you can't go back. If your dog qualifies as a MH you can't go back and get SH. I don't know why but it is in the rule book.

ohiogsp

I would suggest always going through at least SH. You dog can be at the MH level and still run SH. You can use SH to see really where your dog is at. Dogs are different at test than in your back yard. It does not ever hurt to run SH IMO. Once you have been around tests for a while and finished some ...

Do you deliver to Toledo? Can't get Arkat around here.

Congrats Brenda, that is one heck of a dog.

Silver nitrate sticks. I "think" they can't be sold to the public legally. I get them but they come out the back door.

I like my Garmin. Other than the fact it was made in Tiawan. What ain't I guess.

ohiogsp

I would be willing to bet your dog will be very tired come friday and if you take it out sat. it will walk, not hunt. Oh, and the tues. afternoon will put it out even sooner. JMO

ohiogsp

Really that is awelsome. It cool to find people who accually had the dogs from back in your ped. Thanks
