http://gundoghousedoor.com/articles/sanitary_dog_kennel.htm This is pretty much what you said that you've seen before, but I'm not sure if you've seen designs with this much detail. Thought I'd post it just in case. I have a friend who is a world renouned protection/police trainer that runs this sy...

i cant remember the last time i saw a high straight tail kill a bird... I personally don't chase dogs for the birds, I chase birds for the dogs. I mean I am not a bird hunter by any means, strictly a bird dogger. Any time I go into the field with my dogs I don't care how many birds I get so long as...

Post your favorite breed and why you prefer it. Also any stories of how you got into your breed would be great.

I've never owned so many dogs that I've had to put them in kennels. We've had up to six dogs at once and they're always all house dogs that get plenty of time in the yard and conditioning. However, I plan on building a set-up someday so I've kind of made a hobby of visiting all the kennels I can. Wh...

My favorite artist and the best I've ever seen is a really nice lady named Gayla Salvati. She specializes in Shorthairs, but can do ANYTHING. She's amazing. Sculpture and drawings.

Maverick, that first painting in the Autumn Grouse Woods is really great. Would you happen to have the photo you could post?

Ezzy, The more advanced titles are ok but those indicate training to me and not natural ability. I agree with this 100%. In a perfect world dog "trainers" would only be used by people who hunt and not trial or test. I believe that the people who handle dogs in these events were mearly "developers" i...

Brandon, do you have any pictures of your dog holding his tail high on point? I've looked, but never seen a continental breed with his entire tail. As far as pointer breeders docking tails, I knew about that. I also know a great breeder, www.numarkkennels.com, who has introduced Scottish lines into ...

Hey C, I emailed you awhile ago about bird hunting on the West Coast. You told me to keep my powder dry and I didn't have a clue what that meant. :oops: Remember me? I'll tell you, I'd take him in a heartbeat, but I'm just not set up to come and get him or have him shipped out. I love to work with t...

I know there are Bobwhites in Southern and West Texas, East New Mexico, West Oklahoma, S/W and N/E Kansas, N/W Missouri, S/W Iowa and S/E Nebraska. Whew! I think that covers it. My reason for posting is to ask where all in the country you could go and have a reasonable expectation to get into at lea...

I remember living on the outskirts of Tucson when I was about 10 or 11 with my aunt. She had a house that bucked up against a large amount of untouched land and I would go out to explore and look for scorpions, snakes, lizzards, rabbits, coyotes and everytime I went out I would always spook a covey ...

For all of you dog lovers of the docked tail variety, can you tell me why it is still common preference to dock tails? In my honest opinion, a pointer will be much better looking than a short tailed dog while on point simply because of the high tail and high head. I really wish we would quit docking...

I have never seen the Perfect Start, but I've seen Delmars video. I would recommend Delmars tape, but I trained my first dog with his method and has really only used variations of it to train all my dogs so I have a soft spot in my heart for his methods and feel I'd be biased. I have also seen Bob W...

I'm not a hunter by any means, even to the point of not believing in hunting. However I am very passionate about pointing dogs. What gets me is the creating and developing of great pointing dogs. I really enjoy what pointing dog competition has to offer. If you're thinking to get into bird hunting t...

Ya, I use to do agility in Southern California and knew a man who worked his Brittany in the field and did agility to keep her occupied in the off season. He didn't seem to have any problem at all.

I may be wrong, but I believe my question may have been misunderstood. Kninebirddog, for example, really seemed to be trying to explain to me the different types and requirements of trials/tests. I'm not looking for a description of them, or even which one is better to look for. What I was asking is...

Ezzy, when I was younger I asked very "uninformed" question about Rawhides Clown. I see you're into Britts, but I bet you can still guess what the question was. It ended up causes a kind of discussion war. I have done that a few times on accident. Being new here, I'd really reather stay neutral inst...

I really prefer the piebald dogs or dogs that have markings like Holstein cows. My second favorite is a shiny solid liver coat.

NE Vizsla, just out of curiosity, can you tell me what they do with the meat off the coyotes? I've always wondered if they eat it? I'd feel awful odd eating a dog!

I haven't been around anything having to do with NSTRA in awhile, but I was chatting with a rookie the other day and he told me that to earn a NSTRA Ch. you just have to get 10 pts. and it didn't sound right to me.

Can anyone tell me what the requirements are to attain a NSTRA Ch.?

Thanks,

I know meat hunters don't really look at pedigrees as a general rule, they just want a good hunting dog. Then others who are involved in breeding and such will tend to follow one or at most a few lines or strains of dogs within their particular breed. So for those ofyou that do look at pedigrees and...

C, didn't mean to push any buttons, but I wouldn't post comments like that unless I felt I had a reason too. I was told in passing by a dog food rep from another company that before he signed on with that company he fed Purina. He said his dog died from kidney (I believe it was his kidney) failure a...

DeCoverly is the way to go if you want a Ryman, however you'll pay for it. He starts his pups off at $1300 I believe. He was friends with Mr. and Mrs. Ryman and all of his stock is from the original Ryman Kennels. It actually started when he visited the Ryman Kennel on his honey moon. When Mr. Ryman...

I know alot of breeders will claim that their dog "Hunts for the gun", but I don't believe that. They hunt for themselves, they just understand that they aren't going anywhere unless the gun goes wit them. Everyone also refers to a dog being "eager to please". I do believe this, but I believe they w...

I think the reason for him chasing song birds and other animals is just him being a pup. GWP's aren't fast maturers. When you say he wants to do his own thing do you mean he doesn't want to listen to your commands or doesn't want to hunt near you? If he won't listen it's just because he's more inter...

Ya, dogs usually cycle about twice a year, though my dog has had cycles as far as 10 months apart...odd. But if she's not in season then there's no worries.

Jeremy, It's nice to see some pictures of a nice Weim not bred just for the show ring. Where'd you get her?

SH, What about for the addiction to Shorthairs? Does that program include Weims?

Happy timing the the time before you start the dog on his formal training. All you do is take the dog out and let him have a ball learning how to "hunt", not point, retrieve or anything like that, just stretching his legs and having a ball. This is where he learns how to work the wind and hit object...

I have a dog training service, but on a minor level right now. Because I live in a rented house I cannot bring dogs in for training so I have a mobile dog training service. I also do not train birddogs for a living, just obedience and behavioral problems at this point. I charge $25 for a consultatio...

I have owned a number of hi performance/activity breeds from Belgian Malinois to Shorthairs. I always feed Eukanuba Puppy no matter the age of the dog. They seem to do better on it than the Active formula. I can't stand Purina after I found out that some of their ingredients cause major organ failur...

I never even knew there we...

I know Larry through another site and although I don't know how he is as a trainer/breeder I'll certainly vouch for his character, at least what I've seen from him online. He's always been honest, strait forward and a real gentleman. You couldn't want to know a nicer guy.

I had a friend who had a similar problem, but his wasn't from a fence. He was training his dog one day and someone else training a ways from him fired their gun in his direction and actually shot his dog while he was on point. I always thought this sounded shifty and maybe he told this story to cove...

It sounds like your dog just doesn't feel that there is any consiquence for disobeying the "no" command. I've never done it with a gundog for fear of developing a problem with loud noises, but if your dog is gun broke you may try to use a "shaker can". A shaker can is an empty pop can filled with ab...
