It also lays important ground work for later blind retrieve work and handling to blinds. Dogs were being taught blinds long before ff was even thought of. Lets go back to the days of folks like Charles Morgan and a few others . the great of early retrievers trials. Those folks didn't ff they way we...

Ms. Cage

I'd want to have the pup coming right into me to offer me the dummy before I even thought about F.F.ing the pup I agree my husband teachs every aspect of the ff before he over lays the ear pinch and the e-collar. I asked why ff if the dog does all . Response, ff is a American thing . If the dog is ...

What's the purpose of discussing this individual. If you are pointing fingers, remember there's three coming back at you....

I don't think you are allowed to run any e-device on a dog in NAVHDA. I have yet to see one on a dog.

Ms. Cage

At what point would you consider a dog having to much angulation I haven't seen a sporting dog with too much. Of course the German Shepard comes to mind. That's right where I wanted to go with this question . Cam folks start putting to much emhasis on comformation (angulation) That the sporting bre...

Ms. Cage

At what point would you consider a dog having to much angulation ?

Ms. Cage

Would you consider breeding your FT, hunt test lines to a Show CH. that is all Show lines ? Dual CH that is from all Show lines ? Look to improve comformation by breeding to a dog that has the conformation your looking for from trial lines ?

Tammy

Ms. Cage

I keep hearing how a field dog should have good conformation to move right in the field. Should a field dog have the same conformation as the show dog?

You'll find Dogtra to be a very solid product. We've used there e-collar , launchers for 14 years . never a problem.

[Personally the only reason I see for name restrictions is to have your clients promote your kennel. We like to have our buyers use or name but it is their choice..............................Cj By using a kennel name it's alot easier to keep track of what the hounds are doing in the NAVHDA world. ...

Ms. Cage

I'm talking about a handshake agreement. Not enforcing anything. Isn't putting his kennel name on the registration a restriction especially after the puppy is paid for, hummmmm! Dan, I guess you are right never thought of it like that. But I really had a lot of respect for the Kennel before this. W...

Ms. Cage

All our pups carry our kennel name. Name the pup what ever you want as long as the reg. name is Northwaters what ever you want. If a buyer doesn't agree, we don't sell them the pup. If a buyer changes the pups reg. name the pups guarantee is void. All done on a hand shake... We register the pup with...

Ms. Cage

A few years back I did the same thing. Lost all my homers.

Ms. Cage

A little food for thought. When looking for a pup from NAVHDA bred dogs it would be a good idea to check test records of sire and dam. You can do this by going to NAVHDA 's website. Click testing, go to individual dog test records. With some dogs you might get a eye opener...

Ms. Cage

Testing, I'm running or competing against a standard. Competing, head to head with other dogs. No, not the same.

If I remember right GWB froze gas prices after 9/11 . Prices couldn't go any higher than $2.00 a gal. for a year.

We own both TT pro 100 and Dogtras. one is as good as the other. launchers , Dogtra hands down.

I shoot a Rem. 870 youth model 20 ga. I'd like to take one of my husbands safe queen Ithica SKB S x S 20 ga,'s into the gunsmith and have one shortened a bit.

Ms. Cage

Thank You, Dogs are not listed as brags. More, so folks can see how they are bred.

Ms. Cage

Whoa there, Tammy - nobody's saying any test "aces" another, even if they do when it comes to requirements for water work. "Aces" was congratulating you on your VCs (those in your tagline, which interestingly doesn't show up when you post messages unless the person reading your response is also log...

Ms. Cage

Wouldn't say "many," Tammy, particularly not for running water blinds that require real handling. But more are starting to follow a retriever program - what with most of the versatile breeds now eligible for AKC retriever hunt tests.Aces on your VCs!MGAnd HRC HTs as well All 3 are seperate tests IM...

Ms. Cage

Howie said there were several dogs up here sired by See Johnny Run. Maybe late 80's early 90's and did well in the grouse woods as hunting dogs..

Ms. Cage

A good number of NAVHDA versatile champions are taught to handle on blinds. Many do follow a retriever based program...

Go to your local pro, rent homers.

Ms. Cage

If your dog does well on a food, feed it. We've never had good luck with diamond. All the dogs get is the runs. Lots of folks love feeding Diamond.

Not being a smart azz, males get VD too.

We will not breed with out both male and female being tested for brucellosis. That includes when we pair our own together.

We have 4 GSP's that live in the house . We have a litter on the way and plan on keeping a pup.

We don't neuter unless there is a phyical problem like a twisted testicle bad hips or bites etc..

Ms. Cage

We don't pay to hunt. If i was a farmer my first concern would be to raise enough crop to pay the bills. Feeding the wildlife, leaving land for the wildlife would not be a concern. Those that bi@#$ about the farmer well, maybe you should go invest in 600, 1,000 acres , pay taxes on the land, buy equ...

Ms. Cage

That must have been a fun hunt.

Ms. Cage

If you want a dog to back naturally and retrieve naturally with no exposure or training I think you may be expecting too much. Over a course of many years I have seen many, many natural backers and retrievers. For example, take a 6 week old pup, toss a dummy, pup runs out picks up dummy and hustles...

I have a fair amount of Sharp Shooter in my dogs and around alot of Sharp Shooter dogs . As a whole I like them.

I'm with Jerry, check out Friedelshiems kennels. They produce very nice dogs. We have a 8 month pup out of Willow Creeks Honker Man and like the pup lots!!!
