dhondtm, Let me start that if the Breeder did not do what I said does not make it a bad dog or bad breeder!!!! Lots can be done at 4 weeks of age. Pups are wheeling around and starting to explore, chewing sticks hoses leaves, grass a dog turd that I did not see, each other etc. I take my little ones...

TAK

Kevin, lots of people do. I am just one that does not. Let me explain a little on this of my idea. I look for a pup that is built to what I like, deep chest, tail set, etc...... and yes color and markings. I weight much more on the breeder as a person and the dad and mom of the pup. Example: My Niki...

Sniper who did you get your dog from in Utah?

TAK

You would have to believe in it to trust it! One of our most famous trainers ever Delmar Smith wrote books on the last puppy picked. Picking a good breeder and then a good bred is the key. I have had pups shipped in without even seeing a picture of them. Crap shoot at best but you can play more of a...

TAK

Agree 100% with concept. But as always not every dog is that same drive or intelligents. Take a pup from a well breed litter that has not had a proper upbringing and then is handed over to you. When the interduction to birds come along dog has no intrest. I as one to build this drive am going to mak...

"""NO NO NO NO NO that WAS NOT me !!!!!!""""

Sounds as if it was a bad thing???????? Explain? Mail me if needed

TAK

I think I did meet you at a AKC trial near Colorado Springs... I talked with you and your dad for a little bit about dogs, Blake Chance and Moose dogs? Ring a bell? You also had 2 litters of pups with you?

And the other placements? Pulling for Tall Oaks Stone......

Great Job both you and Rick! Nothing makes my heart sing like GSP's Placing at big trials!

TAK

I was told that it was a 2X3 mule deer. I did not shoot it a friend loves to hunt but hates the meat. I love the meat but guiding bird hunters this time of the year makes it hard to hunt deer. Needless to say no pictures!

TAK

I started feeding Raw meat tonight. No improvement yet! Disadvantage nearly had a digit bit off!
QC I have to add this I will get my corn in the diet no matter what. The deer was shot today standing on the side of a corn field! :shock:

TAK

QC has a great advise here! I train with some guys that every 10th bird the dog gets a retrieve. and it had to be worked perfect to get that retrieve.
Another good tip is when working 2 dogs let the backing dog at times get the retrieve......

TAK

Grant, from what you said, you was nothing short of perfect for having the dog stay put and you then gave the release by the tap! Good training!!!!!!
By this thread I am seeing there is alot of Perfection Kennel fans?

TAK

There are many trainers in the WA area I am sure. I can not name them but I bet you could find one close. The net is a great place to find this....... This may be a sign that it is time you take a chance and train this dog yourself. Find a retrieve club and jump on, sure there will be dues but the e...

Ohh my H E double hockey sticks! Is there a person/company that can do a test and put the answers as yes it is good or no it is not..... I have tryed to shy away from business promoting there food and try to find studys, researce and hard facts.... If anyone has a link to one that I could not find p...

""""Two of the top three ingredients in pet foods, particularly dry foods, are almost always some form of grain products.

Born and Raised in Helper Utah North of Price give me a name and lets see where it takes us!

TAK

I am going to Re-load on this and researce a little more. I don't want to sound like Corn is a save all in a food, but I believe there is some benefits with it as the other grains and Rices you said. I only came out and said that with the foods I have feed I have never been lacking or the dogs for t...

TAK

When talking Corn in our Football players and athletes at that.... Have you ever saw the Nebraska Corn Huskers! Them boys are Corn Feed! See the size of them BOY"S! Dogs are much different than us. I can't break it down but I have been told many times by Vet's Hunters and jsut people that added tabl...

TAK

From some reading in the past I read about the "Myth of Protien" The reading was about hurting the kidneys in the dog that is overloaded with Protien. Sorry not real sharp on it, was some time ago when I read it. One factor in the test was that test only have been done of lab Rats..... The reading a...

"""Dogs definetly need more than a bag of food can offer!""" Boys I am not buying this.... I add nothing to any of the dishes that pass through the kennels here.

TAK

Tell us what you have heard about the collor of the Eyes and Nose??? It intrests me

TAK

Amen to that..... Were is your home..... I may know you from the litter listings I saw today. I think we have the same Idea on this I just differ a little with a Derby dog. I have just seen to many times a great derby put in bad hands and a fair derby in great hands.. What one was finished? True you...

TAK

not an for sure answer here but a old friend that breeds and trials Labs said never breed a Yellow to a Chocolate. I believe he told me that the pups have pink noses and something else??? Just a guess.
One other thing he did say is never breed for color and the only good color in Labs is Black.

TAK

""I know of a lot of folks that brag on JH titles or puppy and derby wins at trials."" I am one that likes to see a strong Puppy or Derby. Me it shows that breeding is there and there is everything that nature has given it coming out. It goes to say not everyone can finish out a great dog. Plus not ...

How is "ROM" written before a dogs name or after. I have not seen this before?

TAK

QC lets take this a step further!!! When selecting a new pup how far does you or any one else go back. I for one like to see the 3 gen or the pup I am looking at. I like but not a must see a FC or NSTRA Ch as the sire its a plus to see the female also. Then looking at the Grand sire and dam of the l...

TAK

Hunt Tests you must have passing scores in I believe 4 areas... Trainability, birdwork, Obediance Ground coverage you must mantain a 7 over all of them to pass. If you skip the JH and the SR you must pass the MH 5 times to be crowned. Might be 6 NSTRA you have to have 18 pts 9 of which are 1st place...

When feeding Raw meat how do you ration this out? What is to much? If that is possible..... is it feed as a supliment or as base food source?

TAK

Work of that Caliber I am sure is out of my $$$$ range

TAK

Then it is time to get a Chukar or Hen Pheasant and freeze it. I say Freeze it as it will last longer than a fresh kill. Make it a game.

I noticed the collar that you have. Is this a collar you made or what kind is it. I see that it has 2 d's and it looks like there is also a buckle.
Is i sort of a pinch collar or ???????

TAK

Use that log then.
Also thinking about it a little. I have had some dogs that never liked to play fetch. Crockett (Brit) would retrieve a downd bird miles away. But a ball, stick or anything he would give the look you threw you get it!

TAK

QC I did find one problem with the picture!

It's not hanging on my wall!

TAK

I forgot, Good luck with the First trial.....

TAK

Wow there pard! I only take wagers with Pointer guys. I would never take a chance with a GSP! By the way nice looking girl..... and the breeding? Your other one is oviouse were it came from.... I also have one slot open on Suday at this trial so I can put you in it!!!! Jump on that plane and before ...

TAK

If the trained retrieve is not your cup of tea here is a few things you can work on. It sounds as if the dog is picking up the wing.. I would change the object over to a bumper. I would keep the check cord on and when he picks it up milk the dog back to you. If he will not hold it I would do as said...

Is this dog in your Ped? NFC/FC Baron Von Blitzkrieg IV. ?

TAK

In alot of hunting trips, I have never seen a regestration or Pedigree point a bird!
If your little pup is everything you wanted in a dog you won!
Fill free to pass some names in the lines around and I would guess you will get some advice on what you got and could expect out of the dog......

TAK

I should be a little more clear on what I said before. I do believe that you should try to stay with some of the names in the line to represent a great line, but if I own the dog it will have my kennel name. An example is Elhew If I was a pointer guy I would for sure put my Kennel name with Elhew in...

TAK

In a short time of competing in sanctioned trials I think I have done well for my kennel..... At just 3 years old my buddy "Clown" won the Arizona Regional(NSTRA) and less than a month later gained his first Championship! Not to mention he was 3 legged at the time with a 2 1/4 in Russian Olive thorn...

That's what I am talking about, Fine art! OUTSTANDING!!!!! :cheers:

Ya I was the Frozen judge. Boy(gal) let me tell you I have hunted in some odd places over the years with weather that you could not think of but I have to say that was the coldest I have ever been. It did not help that I thought the trial was going to be called and I was out loading my horses when a...

TAK

There is alot to be said about dog foods. My advice is to choose one that is at least 24% Protien and 16% fat. There was a past post about the Diamond products. This past summer I feed the 24/20 and the 30/20 both gave me everything with performance. The Negitive factor was the waste and the smell o...

TAK

I have seen this name on many peds over the years, Blitzkrieg I am sure was a kennel....
The great thing is you get to name your dog what ever you would like. It always disapoints me to see the breeder demande his kennel name to be placed on the regestration

TAK

What no mention about the judge that nearly froze to death. :shock:
