hope again

and her sister joy

here is a pic of my hope pup,18 months of age. This type of style is what I saw in simon,and scully when I watched them run out west.I love the way dan's dogs stand tall when on point

I am thinking about sending in entries,eva and her two daughters.I have not been to kelly farms for awhile,last time there eva was a pup and I ran max. How time flys,you guys always have fun up there,I just dont know if I am up to walking ,or trying to keep up to eva and her daughters! I might need ...

grounds are dry,and already getting green.They burned the area they slashed last year,but it was already greening up.I expect pine island to be thicker than normal this year.

larue

we had a nice turn out for our trial,the weather was good,the birds were strong,and we had fun.planning on the same dates next year.

larue

any idea when the derby would start?

larue

all breeds,I have never seen an akc gsp trial that was closed,other than the nationals.

larue

I took a walk at pine island yesterday,and the grounds are nice and dry,and look great for the trial in two weeks. Looking at menus for the trial,thinking about baby back ribs,or rib eyes from our local meat market,open to suggestions. It looks like we will be having a light trial as far as entries,...

we ride the fence before the four lakes events to find and repair any holes in the fence.The access road,scares me more than than the interstate,but I have not heard of any dogs having issues yet.
But like anywhere we run,it could happen.

I had to make the trip to the vet with hiedi tonight,as it was time. hiedi was my first gsp that I played games with,she recieved a prize 1 n/a and a 197 prize 2 ut score,but in heart she was an all age dog. The number of times I lost her while hunting or training was countless,but she always knew h...

Reasons to come to a 4 lakes field trial. 1. Great grounds to run a dog.Big grounds with flat terrain,easy to get to off of the interstate.Best grounds in wis,maybe the midwest 2.Wis dell is 15 minutes away.If your wife and kids like waterparks,send them to the dells,family will be happy,you will ge...

We are going to be holding our akc walking trial this year on march 24th and 25th at pine island ,which is at portage wis.We might hold one horseback stake,but we will have puppy,derby,am and open gun dog as walking stakes.
I will post a link once we are approved.

larue

I took a look at dankar kennels,and was surprised to see spencer,along with a number of dogs I know in his kennel.
My hiedi bitch who is turning 17,is out of the same bitch as some of the dogs in the pedigree's,along with my old dog max.
Spencer was was fast shooting dog when I knew him.

larue

I am trying to find out if I can run a pup on there 15th month birthday in a puppy stake.Pups were born dec 3,so can they run march 3rd in a puppy stake?

larue

I have not read the entire thread,so I could be repeating. But first off you can walk in any akc event,be it horseback allowed or not. If and when you get separarted from the other handler,your judge will stay with you,and your dog throughout the entire event. There can be some significant disadvant...

larue

I would certainly look at hillhaven's kennel,I think they are still producing a few pups.

another option is to fly in a judge,and provide them with a horse,etc. I have flown out to Washington state twice to judge,around 400 round trip for tickets. More clubs should look at this option. It is fun to go judge dogs you no nothing about,and have never seen before. Judging a trial is a thankl...

larue

The pup has learned if it whines,it gets outside,which no doubt was part of its house breaking. I would put the dog in a crate for a while when he whines. Teach him whining gets him into a crate,no anger just matter of fact.he whines he goes in crate for awhile. One of my year old pups has learned t...

larue

first off,a clarification.My buddy Mike Kindler is actually breaking the girls out for me as a personal favor.He broke max out at 13 months of age,and I had 10 years of running broke stakes with max,so I asked him to help me with the girls. My only real point was that by having no birds in a puppy s...

larue

so you are saying that a pup cannot be in training to be finished at 14 months of age? That you cannot have a naturally staunch pup who you are bringing along,who is well on its way to being broke at 12 or 14 months of age.A pup who you really dont want to catch a bunch of birds,in an uncontrolled s...

larue

There is a couple of good reasons to run puppy stakes without birds being planted. The biggest reason is if you have a young dog who is progressing very nicely in steadiness work, you can run your pup in a trial,where it can experience all the new things a trial brings,a new brace mate,a loud handle...

larue

2011 will go down as a bad year in my books.I lost my max dog,a dog who did everything for me.My buddy lost his howie dog,another fc who was a heck of a hunting dog along with his trial wins.Dan hoke lost both 2 time national champion simon,and fc afc hank,another great hunting dog. A very tough yea...

larue

Dan hoke of dunfur kennel is by spokane,he does go south in january to arizona I think to train dogs.

larue

I will vote to allow black into the gspca standards the day that dk's allow me to test an akc pedigree'd gsp in there testing format.
I would say that would be fair,allow dk bred dogs(black ones) to compete in akc conformation events,while I can run an american akc bred dog in dk events.

larue

you certainly can train your dog by yourself,and run him in a ut test. In fact the navhda program was designed with that in mind.The training and then running the dog in n/a then ut was designed for the owner to learn about his dog,with the goal being to evaluate your dog for possible improving the ...

larue

I was cleaning out my cabinets this weekend when I found a undeveloped roll of film,I just picked it up and I found a bunch of pictures of max back when he was 7 years old training off of horseback.I can age it exactly because there is a pic of eva as a little pup in one of the pics. Very cool to fi...

larue

you could go back to the source,,dave and jan hill might still be producing a few dogs.
I know they have a max daughter that the have bred a few times.
Jan told me that when they bred her to one of Daves trial bred dog,they produced the best litter they had ever seen

larue

It would completely depend what the dog was before he was sent to the trainer. Did he know what a bird was? was he naturally pointing? was he afraid of his shadow? Was he well socialized ? Did he know his name? What you can expect is improvement,the only answer you can get is from what you know the ...

larue

not in georgia,but take a look at dunfur kennels.
I recently posted a video of two 10 month old pups that are well on there way to being broke.

larue

I did not get the pups from dan,I sent my eva bitch (a simon pup) out to dan and had her bred to muff another dunfur male. We are using pigeons in the clip,and they are two different pups in the clips,the first clip being "hope" and the second being "joy". I am taking the clips,my buddy is actually ...

step 1,locate nearest garbage can.
step 2 ,insert innoteck in said can.
step 3,go buy a tri-tronics or a dogtra product.

larue

doug,I enjoyed your dogs,I would hunt behind them anyday.
It was apparent that they knew how to hunt wild birds.

larue

I have just returned from another Inland empire trial held in washinton state,and I can say once again if you get a chance to go to one of there trials it is well worth it. I got to watch some really nice dogs run,and had another great time. Class people,class dogs,great food,and one heck of a place...

pine island has a few grouse on it,when you get off the dog training area's.There are quite a few woodcock also. I would expect to have a few more grouse at pine island after all the logging they have done in the past few years,might take awhile but the cover should be better in the near future for ...

larue

I myself tend to agree that we do not test our breed for stamina and heat enough.I have hunted sharptails in south dakota in the mid 90's and have had success,with some adjustments to where I ran. We tend to produce what wins,and with the vast majority of stakes being 30 minutes we often breed for s...

larue

I hope you find her a good home,but you need to understand that you played a big part in what happened,by having 2 dogs retrieveing at the same time,to the same person.

larue

It sounds like it is time to rehome her,but I will also say throwing a dummy and allowing more than a single dog to try to retrieve it is just plain asking for a major dog fight. I would also ask what kind of "training" is going on with multiple dogs and a dummy being thrown,unless one of the dogs i...

larue

very simple,the national grasslands in western north dakota.1 million acres of public land,get a a map and go.I would base out of "bleep" or williston north dakota

larue

We will be training somewhere in eastern washington,to be honest I get up at 5am with dan,load a butt load of dogs,horses,ect and dan drives me somewhere out in the middle of no where.So I really dont know where I am when we are training. I just follow dan around,drink his beer and try to keep up wi...

one of the biggest running shooting dogs I knew was also a akc titled tracking dog!

larue

lots of options for birds for you,jeff rice in burlington raises quail and chucker I think.he live in the bong area. You could also look up any of the navhda groups and go to one of there training sessions or just give tim a call(the litter owner you bought the pup from) he often has birds. You coul...

larue

looking forward to visiting all of you from washington state area this oct,trying to decide if I should bring eva or one of her crazy pups to run and train out there. I know the food will suck,the beer will be warm,and the dogs will point with low tails and be real hogs. I also know dan hoke will le...

ken,any trial ran at eagle wis could be walked easliy,horseback or not

larue

Walking trials are the gateway to horseback events for many people. I myself had a 2 year old dog,who I had put 2 prize 1 ut scores,and his master hunt test title on,I was looking to run something else with him,so walking trials were a very easy new game. Just take the dog in my car,and run them. Af...

the four lakes club will be holding a walking trial on dec 3rd at a hunt club er,,private training grounds.
Bring your long underwear,and your anti freeze
It will be help close to horicon marsh here in wis.

larue

birds,birds and more birds,if you want to make a great bird dog you have to have them crazy about birds.

larue

you can certainly try all the enticement ways to get your dog to swim,other dogs,live ducks,ect.If they do not work this will. Get your swimsuit or waders on,Carry your dog out into swiming depth(for your dog) and throw the dummy back onto the land or in very shallow water. He will swim back to land...

larue

I would get him into as many birds as you could now,when he is a young pup.
