I started running these trials after relocating to a new state. Not having any hunting spots gave me the nudge I needed to get started field trialing.Now I can't see myself not running trials. I have meet some great people and dogs as well.

I think there is always room. I know over around the Quincy area there are very few quail to be found. I ran a trial by Terre Haute, In. that used Georgia Giants, i'm not sure where he got them from but they worked great. Make sure you post on here when you get some ready to sell. We are hoping to g...

Count me in

I would think either would be great. I think the main thing to look at would will you be doing more of upland or waterfowl hunting and would you rather upland hunt with a flusher or a pointer. Another factor is size, will it be an indoor dog or outdoor dog. Is smaller better or does it relly not mat...

There is not much prettier than a well bred pointer. I have 3 Gsp's, 1 pointer and 1 english setter. As you can tell I am not prejudice I like'em all. With the pointer I have I think he probably came out of his momma pointing. He could do it all pretty as a picture at just a few months old, includin...

I have also heard neutered dogs live longer also, anyone else hear such a thing? I am not for or against neutering but I would say that I do feel that alot of people don't fix there dogs and maybe should? I think everyone will agree only the best should be bred. Quality is what we should be breeding...

I have a neutered pointer. He doesn't hump anything and think he has to run around peeing on everything. Another nice thing about it is heat dogs don't phase him a bit. So when people are crying about heat dogs at a trials I say bring em on. He is really nice to be around. Everything else is still a...

Nothing? I am not asking for names or specifics. Just trying to get an idea as I may have an opportunity.

Is anyone familiar with sponsorship? Any idea what one would expect to get from a dog food company? Should I assume that the higher in the rankings one is the better sponsorship deal he or she should get? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also any ideas on other types of companies( boot, e-coll...

I would not give rawhide to your dog to chew on. Pieces come of and compact in your pup/dog taking veterinary treatment to remove. My vet says it's not a pleasant sight to watch the squeling pet as he get's an enema treatment to remove pieces of rawhide. Or the cost of surgery to get the really nast...

Is it a pointer? I have that same issue with my year old pointer. I have conditioned him to the e-collar and he works great with it on, but it didn't take him long to get collar wise. If I try to run him without the collar he tends to get a mind of his own. Unfortunately the trials I run in won't le...

I know these folks from the trials we go to. They have very nice dogs that do well.

smoothbean

How old of a pup are you looking for. Want something started?

smoothbean

Anybody know about the de-bolting process? I read this in a post and would like more info.

smoothbean

I als have an EP with the same issue. I have tried running him in some trials but it is pretty nerve racking just waiting for him to run off, chasing tweeties or whatever. With him the running doesn't make a bit of difference. He was getting to run every night and you still can't trust him. I have u...

smoothbean

That wouldn't shock me much. I know chickens will eat anything that doesn't eat them first. I,ve seen them eat snakes, toads, and alot of other things that move and are smaller than they are. Would a turkey be that much different?

smoothbean

I don't care who ya are. That's funny!

smoothbean

I have never seen horse back trials.Can someone tell me when they pick up the dog does that meen they are just too tired to carry on or is there another reason they do this. Also I assume when they pick the dog up they are dropping out of the competition. Also correct me if I am wrong they do not sh...

How about Scot Storm? Some great art work here.

When I was a teen in Camp Point, Illinois I meet an old bird dog man named Ransom Butcher ( I think I have the spelling correct). Anyway as is the case in alot of things I wish I could go back in time and soak up as much knowledge as possible hanging around with this old timer. I remember he gave me...

I was reading the Decoverly post's and read a little piece about the FDSB pulling Hank and Dash's registration. I didn't want to steal the thread so I thought I would start a new one. Of course I have seen the show several times but wouldn't consider myself a devoted fan but since its got something ...

I am in eastern Indiana. I am close to Cambridge City about an hour east of Indianapolis and an hour west of Dayton. Are you interested in this breeding ?

smoothbean

This should be a fantastic litter. My female is also an excellent bird finder. She has had one litter out of a different stud and all that I have kept in touch with are doing great. Thanks for the reply

smoothbean

I talked to John Resa this evening about getting my female bred by Resa's Trouble Mace. The plan is starting to come together. She should come in heat the end of Feb.. Here is a link to her pedigree :

I am pretty excited about this breeding.

I really like Puppy Development 1 and 2 with Rick and Ronnie Smith. They are both about an hour long and full of great information. I just got them not to long ago, my dogs are older. I just wanted to learn some new ideas for a new puppy one of these days. Also you never now what you can learn that ...

I am on my second year running UFTA trials. I cant get enough. I started when we moved from Illinois to Indiana. Since I didn't know anyone and didn't have any places to go I needed something, and this was it for me. I never ran any trials before then I was just a hunter with a dog. Now I can't imag...

smoothbean

I dont know but there must be something else in there to give him such a nice tail. HEHEHEHE . Really he is an outstanding horse. We used to have paints and quarters and rode with some friends that had appys. If memory serves me there werent to many that had much of a tail. I now a guy that had a le...

smoothbean

I went from strictly hunting to mainly UFTA and NBDCA trials. We moved from Il. to In. so not having places to go and watching tournament hunter on the outdoor channel I started trialing. Maybe it was a mistake starting these trials because now I am hooked. We are going to the UFTA NAtionals in Feb....

My vet told me a story of a big time champion horse that was cloned and the clone turned out to be a crow bait piece of junk. I don't think it's all some people think it is.

Wow that's a pretty big increase in fees. There was some suspicion that they did not put out all the birds that the said they did 2 years ago when I was still going there on a regular basis. I guess there is really no way to tell for sure. I think it is great that they are not closing down. That wou...

smoothbean

I guess I am looking to keep a line of dogs that can think on there own. Such as range out when needed but also hunt close depending on cover. Of course they will look good doing it. I guess one of the most important things is a great nose and a dog that can get it done in all types of weather condi...

Thanks for the reply Romeo , I appreciate your opinion I was hoping for several replies. Not a very talkative bunch here I guess.

I have been doing some looking around and researching English Setter studs. I am trying to plan for a spring breeding for my female. http://www.perfectpedigrees.com/4genview.php?id=1152 I was thinking about Resa's Trouble Mace. I have not yet contacted John Resa yet to see if it is even possible. I ...

Question for Will. I used to live near Golden, Illinois ( moned to Indiana about a year and a half ago). Anyway, when I lived there we went to Jim Edgar Panther Creek about weekly. I heard talk of the FINE( I better not put what I would really like to call him) Gov. wanting to close these places. Wh...

Hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving. Thanks to all our servicemen and women protecting our rights. Also thanks to the great folks who keep this sight up and going.

I like the Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete but there are some issues to watch for. I made a gradual switch to DNEA from Iams because I was having trouble keeping weight on my male GSP. It put weight on him but it also gave him very loose stool. I have since switched to one part Diamond and two part...

I have six year old GSP that I taught to fetch a tennis ball when he was a pup. I did not and still do not let him have it when we are not playing. I think he could about pick up a stick of butter and not make a mark in it. I have used lock winged pigeons to practice blind retrieves with him and he ...

smoothbean

I say the earlier the better. I have a GSP that is 6. I had never tied him out before last year when I started running UFTA and NBDCA trials. Needless to say he didn't like it so much, he doesn't bark just whines and will not just relax. He also doesn't go to the bathroom on a tieout. One time I was...

smoothbean

I'm with you. I have had enough of this heat. No shapies here in Indiana but a trip west is high on my list of things to do.

smoothbean

I would be very careful with this situation. You could start out with a ton of vet bills or worse yet losing a pup. Also you don't want to infect your other dog.

smoothbean

I think maybe this is why everyone has a breed they like best. Maybe they are more fit to one breed than another.Maybe clashing personalities. Does anyone else feel the same?

smoothbean

Has anyone seen this video ? Looking for some learning material on the subject as I would like to try this with one of my dogs. THANKS

smoothbean

Does anyone have any tips on picking a new puppy or deciding which one should be the pick of the litter.

Last summer I watched my shorthairs tie. I started expecting puppies when she started bagging up. I didn't think she had gotten very big but when she started producing milk I thought fo sure there would be something. After waiting a week beyond the latest do date I could come up with I realized some...

My shorthair is very lean extremely muscular. My brother had never seen him before and met me at a UFTA trial he said he looked like he was on steroids because he was so ripped.I fed Iams and have been very pleased with it. I started feedind Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete. This put weight on but m...

smoothbean

The show really does not do the game justice. I run the NBDCA and UFTA trials, they have similar rules but some differences. The UFTA is probably my favorite even though I found out about it after seeing the NBDCA (tournament hunter) on TV and joining it. It is a great sport for the average hunter b...

I've been reading the posts on this sight for awhile. I am from the Richmond, Indiana area. I have been running UFTA and NBDCA trials fr about a year. Also I have two GSP'S and one English Setter. I will try to post one of the pedigrees to see if I can get it right. http://www.perfectpedigrees.com/4...
