Just got back from testing all weekend. Whew, my dogs all finished there titles. I know 2 were JH but my male finished SH so that is great. 6 out of 6 is not bad even if 4 were JH. Master Hunter here we come!! Tak, man I'm like you not into that show stuff. I tried to get the wife to do some, but I ...

""Both parents are AKC registered."" Ya, one is a registered GSP, one is a registered EP. ""Some are a light liver to lemon, as you would see with a pointer." Ya, because one parent is a pointer. ByeDog, I said it was sad and it is, these are probably not full blood GSP and they can be registered(al...

ohiogsp

Sad thing is, these dogs probably are registered with the AKC.

I thought chicken was more digestable? All I know is my dog are very skinny on lamb and rice mixes and I could not keep them on this in hunting season. The advantage I believe is they were extremely regular on this feed.

ohiogsp

Thanks man, snips called it self-fronted I believe.

P.S. I will have to post some pics cause this guy is doing a painting of him right now that should be very cool.

2 legs of senior until my boy can move up to master. I am also running my females this weekend. One needs 1 JH leg and the other needs 2 JH legs. Both my females are not quite ready for SH yet. One is really close and might pass some of the time, but I like to have my dogs trained close to master le...

ohiogsp

Thanks alot.

ohiogsp

Yes, it was just a bad break. Last weekend was not a wash we qualified 3 out of 4 runs so I can't complain too much. It was just aggrevating and I am a perfectionist. I hope this weekend goes good I am running 6 times.

ohiogsp

Are you running him on a checkcord?

ohiogsp

I am not saying these were bad judges. If there is some 2 minute rule I broke it. My fault. If I knew some rule like that existed I would not have allowed him to go there. The judges did see the other dog retrieve the bird because when I question them they said, "Your dog did a beautiful job it is j...

ohiogsp

You have rewarded her for throwing a fit by letting her out and into your bed. Your job will be much harder now. Never reward a dog that is throwing a fit you have to be very strict. Now that you have been scolded maybe someone can post suggestions on how to fix this. I will make one. Get your dog "...

Just returned from some hunt tests. My dog is going for his SH title (he needs 2 legs) and he is really doing MH work most the time, I just didn't test alot last year. So I am trying to finish SH so I can move on to MH. Here is the way I got screwed. My dog goes on point and the bracemates dog backs...

www.godaddy.com You can build a site pretty easy on here and have it hosted with them really cheap. I think I pay 40 dollars (maybe less) a year for hosting and domain name together. They have site building software on there site nothing spectacular but it is pretty easy to build one.

ohiogsp

They are no longer making them. Could someone verify that it is o.k. to freeze them? I put boxes of these in the freezer when they quit selling them and don't know if this is good or not.

I have heard lots of bad effects from feeding to much protein/fat too early. Maybe someone else will post on this because I don't know the details. It can cause incorrect bone growth leading to hip displasia and other joint defects. That food you are going to feed may be made by daimond. I am not su...

ohiogsp

A good tip if someone gets to close to the wick and it starts to bleed. If you have nothing to stop the bleeding put the nail in a container of flour. It will stop the bleeding if you have nothing else there.

ohiogsp

Man, I am just not quick enough.

ohiogsp

You could also use a buddy stick for this. Put her at whoa, get in front, release her, and keep putting her at whoa as she is coming at you. This will teach her it is not at your side. Is she cowering at your side when she runs to you? If so this is because she does not know what you want.

ohiogsp

Maybe a defect in the show ring. I am not sure of this, but it would not effect anything in field events.

ohiogsp

Here is what I use all the time. I have been able to enter all AKC events with this no problems. Maybe some other events you couldn't, but I don't know. This would be the cheapest to shoot it takes 209 primers.

Celsius -40 is the same temp as -40 fahrenheit. That is the temp where to two scales cross.

ohiogsp

Was the contract wrote to just return the money of the dog if displasia was shown? Or would they replace the dog? What are the terms. The truth is alot of breeders are just in it for the money. It is sometimes hard to tell witch are witch, because of the line of crap they will feed you. Any honest p...

ohiogsp

Depends on the dog but at least 6 months.

ohiogsp

Tattoo dogs? I tattooed all my hunting buddies!

ohiogsp

Mine are crated next to each other and will chew them off through the cage. I had to put a board between them. I even had one chew the buckle off and the other ate the collar. Not good on the way out. I don't know the solution to your delema maybe put bitter apple on the collars?

ohiogsp

O.K. this is for the people with pups and that are new at this. Do not use launchers until the dog has experience with birds on a checkcord. The dog will have no idea what is going on. I use remote launchers all the time just not on pups.

ohiogsp

Your cousin, does he train pups? I have not seen a dog that locked up and did not move the first time on birds. They have to be on a checkcord and stopped. Just use a checkcord and bring the dog into a planted pigeon/quail. Then have someone wake the bird up so it is walking around. Then if the dog ...

ohiogsp

If your felt stuff gets ice or snow on it, that does make it not work very good. If there is not anything on it even in the winter mine does hold very well.

ohiogsp

Here is some pics of the one I built. Yes, it is heavy. I put 3 shorthairs in mine. It measures 16"wide x 24"high x 36"long per box. Overall dimensions are 48" x 36" x 24". This is insulated with 1" foam and has removable door covers and vent covers on the side. The box here is not very wide for sho...

ohiogsp

This pen is open all the time but next winter I would put plastic over the aviary.

ohiogsp

The pigeons do sit on the back of the door but fly off into the pen when I open it. If they did fly out they would probably just trap into my flight pen that is right beside this one. It was pretty easy to build with 2 people. You could build it in a weekend. There would be extra time for perches, b...

ohiogsp

Check out my new pigeon loft. I just finished this today. This is a breeder only loft no traps or anything. I have anouther loft that is my flight pen. Here is a link to the plans I used. I used the idea from these plans but changed it alot. http://www.redroselofts.com/starter_loft.htm http://i12.ph...

We get some huge snappers around here. I make a killer snapper soup it is kind of like new england clam chouder. Now I have to go eat supper.

ohiogsp

Yes they do recall. I used hundreds of chukar a couple years ago and had good luck with them. I don't know about a pen style trap for them but I just used live traps around my pen. I just set these live traps (the through type) right against the pen. They would try to walk through and get caught I g...

So is the rumor that dude was breed to pionters or was he half pointer himself?

ohiogsp

You do know this is a dog forum right? :lol: :lol: We do this up here in northern ohio in the rivers. Here it is the snapping turtles that are bad. We don't usually get 100lb fish more like 20 to 50lbs. Catfish meat is really good soak it in milk with lots of salt for a least a day. Then fry it or s...

My dam just cam into her spring heat and is drooling really bad. Is this normal I never noticed this before. I have noticed the male drooling alot but never the female.

ohiogsp

Great site, Thanks Grant

ohiogsp

Hey, your dog is a shorthair? Don't worry about nothing they don't come with no prey drive!!

ohiogsp

I wouldn't worry about it. The pedigree on that dog is good and he will like them naturally. If you did have a pup that wasn't interested there is things to do. I have seen pups not all that interested until about 1 year then come around. You can get pups real birdy by letting them catch clipped win...

ohiogsp

They make a medicated pad that you put in the ear cannal. Then close the ear and massage it all around. Then open the ear and take it out. This gets the deep stuff out. There is also drops for infection you can get from the vet.

ohiogsp

We just talked about this in the training forum under FIRST HUNT TEST. Here is the link.

There is a bunch of info here.

Thanks for the info guys this is great stuff.

I do some walking trials. I have no horse or a place to keep one. That will change someday. I run in hunt tests and am thinking about doing some NAVHDA events this year. I didn't know anything about Diamond S Staphanie she was a good dog huh. Scud was one of lenn's dog's right? I don't know if bonni...

Get homers for sure!! I am cleaning out all the birds I have this year that are not homers. If that tells you anything. If you get 1 pair they will have to breed before they will return. I would suggest getting min. of 3 pair. If the homers have been raced from anouther loft the cocks will return to...

Yes, attached to a live quail.
