I have fed Kirkland in the past and had solid results with it. That was probably 6-7 years ago, so im sure the formula has changed since then. After leaving Kirkland I got on the Purina Pro Plan Performance bandwagon. Dogs looked great, performed well, and held up well. The problem was that between ...

Well trained, all of them.

John, I need to disagree with you on that one. One certain little white female GSP didnt cut the mustard in the "well trained" category.

Adding an extra horseback trial up this way is prohibitive because our lack of suitable horseback grounds. Both spring and fall seasons are already filled with other local clubs using available grounds.

A couple of years ago after pining for a 20 ga O/U i finally, pardon the pun, pulled the trigger. I bought a 20 ga CZ Canvasback, kinda just had intentions of using it a bit in the woods for grouse and kinda having it for shits and giggles. I didnt take too long after using this gun a few times, tha...

Yeah, at the Vizsla trial that grass was brutal. Made some nice young dogs look pretty stupid at times. Im a proud owner of one in that category

two on 5/12. Yes I will be at Crow Hassan next weekend for the St Croix Brittany trial. See you there.

unfortunately no. he absolutely rock n rolling, eating up the entire course, pointed two birds nicely in deep cover and found a couple more. He ended up having a brain fart in the last 3 minutes that caused him to end up with a 3rd. We have one more shot next weekend at a horseback trial, much easie...

Chris...you're brutal man!

Bill, only to the ones I love

original mngsp

actually Clark you might have a good plan. Abbie all fat and out of shape might slow down enough to be a shooting dog that you and Dennis can get around. Give 'em heck, do Minnesota proud!!!

original mngsp

...or is Abbie bringing fat Clark?

original mngsp

Congrats!!! Big accomplishment there to be proud of.

Depends on the dog. I have had dogs that played with tennis balls their whole lives without ever having it effect the retrieve. That being said I did have one dog that we took the tennis balls away because it caused him to hard mouth his retrieves. Once we replaced the tennis balls with a firmer bal...

If so then why didn't the show crowd ruin the English Pointer? Have you seen the difference of a AKC Pointer and an FDSB Pointer? For the most part, again there are exceptions, the AKC pointer is a big bumbly plodder of a dog where the real pointer is a completely different animal that can do what ...

It is Show Breeders doing the GSP an injustice, not the black dogs or liver dogs Thank you Brenda, maybe your reputation will bring more backing to my argument, even though you are in favor of allowing black GSP. Im just afraid these show breeders will start messing with the instincts and abilities...

original mngsp

Ken I never said black GSPs are all "great" hunting dogs nor are they superior to all other black GSPs in the world. I maybe should have prefaced my statement by saying that I have seen some very nice GSPs that do well in the field and the ring. I have had the chance to see your dogs on a couple of ...

What blows me away is the breeders who breed white and lemon gsp's and swear there's no EP mixed in!!!!

Howie

Its that recessive gene that brings in that lemon, dont you know that

original mngsp

a counter-argument to that is owners of black GSPs should be concerned with conformation just as much as owners of liver GSPs Steven, They are concerned about conformation, the kind that counts. That being the ability of a well bred hunting dog to be able to hunt for long hours, many days of being ...

yes by all means a big congrats to all involved in having a FC/AFC and MH of any breed regardless of color. Have to have a darn good dog to begin with, lots and lots of hard work, time, effort and some good luck also to accomplish those things. I have seen in HT, NAVHDA , and hunted with a fair amou...

Congrats Vern on the new MH.

Welcome to having a Derby dog. In most AKC trials this normal behavior for a Derby. Nothing wrong with it unless you cant get the dog off the bird and back onto course.

I already went and bought a different brand of food in the interim. It might suck wasting a bag of expensive dog food, but if in doubt you did the right thing.

Congrats Ted. I hate hearing "too much dog for GD", it sucks on weekend trials, but those are the dogs that are capable of winning championships!!

original mngsp

Ideally one in the middle, smart enough to learn and retain training, but not smart enough to think they know more than me. But if having to have one extreme or the other, I'd take an overly clever hound any day, they may drive you nuts in training and competition but the usually make the best bird ...

thought the GSP in the commercial looked a little slow of foot in my book.

Congrats on the AFC. Regardless of the color of the dog its a nice accomplishment.

Congrats on the new FC. You, Tim, and Dave all work real hard at this game and its good to see good people have success.

Last weekend was my last trip of the year with my two dogs. Tori 2 1/2 yrs old and Storm 1 1/2. This was a fun year. I put trialing on the back burner this fall to get more hunting in. I was thinking both the dogs and I needed a big time hunting fall. I havent put this much time in hunting for at le...

Sorry about the loss, its never easy and especially around Christmas. I'm pretty sure my boy Boomer that i lost a couple of years ago around Christmas has already welcomed Ginger to the endless prairie filled with birds.

Either can get the job done just like Howie said. I have owned and hunted with both breeds and I generally will give the nod to a GSP as I find I spend more time doing things with dogs where heat can be more of an issue than I do when cold might a problem. Find a good dog of either breed and you sho...

I've subscribed since the magazine's inception and yes, it is a wonderful magazine. I look forward to each issue.

Agree with Howie on this one. Lay a heck of a dominance beating on the dog when this happens. Years ago I had a 2 yr GWP that was awoken by a toddler crawling on her and took a snap. That dog took a severe beat down from me and we never never had any problem again. Over the years she'd be disturbed ...

I really don't even like being in this state during opening weekend. I usually try to be out of state, but if stuck here usually spend the weekend hiding in my bunker wearing my kevlar vest. Just kidding on the bunker thing.

No dont take a dog or yourself out. Those deer hunters are nuts.

Usually I have found that experience is the best teacher. Usually once or twice will a dog get cut up on wire before they start to really look for it. In most cases is not the tight 3-4 strand wire that causes the problem, but a fence that has 13-14 tangled strands and looks more like concertina wir...
