Ultracarry and I loaded up the dogs and headed to the desert looking for chukar today. Did a little walking, but couldn't find any birds. Oh well, it was better then working.

Nope. Did it make a sound when it left? Besides, killdeer look like, well, killdeer. I'm guessing meadow lark.

What does lasting an hour require?

Same thing as running all day does, just a faster speed.

brad27

The field trial sorts that all out. Don't agree. Lasting an hour doesn't require much. I like heart...but a dog with heart AND great geometry will simply outrun and outlast heart alone...IMO. I think we all need to know what good construction and movement are...and why it happens....Don't need a sh...

brad27

Why are we still pointing the fingers at the stud? Plenty of possibilities what's going on here, but why is it the stud that always gets blamed? They don't deserve all the credit when they produce greatness and they don't deserve all the blame when it turns out less than desireable! Some think ther...

brad27

My question was a hypothetical one I didn't mention the sex of the dog.

brad27

What caliber did you decide on?

brad27

Here is my question to this problem..... What is to be done about it? Will the owner of the sire refund the stud fee if indeed the DNA matches up? How have they responded to this situation? Is a refund expected? Should it be expected? A rhetorical question maybe... just wondering how any of us woul...

When I asked if dogs should be judged/titled based on conformation, shows like the AKC and Westminster shows you see on TV is the last thing I meant. What I'm refering to is the dogs being evaluated more for form, pracitcal form. Chest, straightness of limbs, tail set, bite, to make sure there isn'...

I've only had him a few days. I know I need to bond with him and chill out a little bit, sounds like he's been bounced around quite a bit and nobody has taught him a dang thing. I was just really frustrated when I wrote the original post. He's a lot more dog than I'm used to. I suppose I should jus...

You need a longer checkcord. (ecollar) I tried the ecollar but he doesn't seem to get it. I had it on low stim. and he stopped, sat down and started scratching it :roll: He just has no clue what I want. I've started teaching 'here' in the house and will move it to the back yard and eventually to th...

What have the field people added to their competition that is fluff?

brad27

In this case would ground speed be a better word for momentum?

brad27

Yeah, even if they do have the "ee" trait...Why would Chuck want to spend more money on this debacle? I can imagine 2700 for frozen semen and you have a litter of 2 pup's who are white and orange. Would it be better to sweep it under the rug and act like it never happened? If you could know genetic...

The dog food industry has changed greatly in recent years with new research, new ingredients and new methods of manufacturing. It's a shame that posters can't express their opinions or exchange ideas without always having to battle with a condescending and overbearing moderator. Could you post a li...

I checked today the noses are brown from starting as skin tone I will get them tested,it seems to me and correct me if I'm wrong that I'm ether looking at something in the wood shed or they are double e carriers, let's not forget about tonellies rising sun question. Takes two to tango................

Not if that was the wrong straw.

True. I jumped the gun with my comment.

brad27

I might be able to find out. My uncle owns his daughter ( Lucy's dam). I could ask him to put me in touch with his dogs breeder. How did he work out for you as a stud?

This is a very interesting thread....Please forgive my ingorance..... As a novice with GSP's and really don't know anything about the breed other than I really like them, can you test the dogs to see if they are not pure GSP? If not how do you what you are buying??? You can test for the "e". http:/...

Absolutely. I don't believe bdc type formats should be done away with or prople shouldn't do it if you enjoy it. It's just my belief that its not a legitimate proving ground for quality because it makes no attempt to judge quality of work. People have gotten defensive and tried to twist my words. I...

I dont run any of those venues but can see where Romeo is coming from. He made one statement about the judging and now people seem to try to twist his words and become the grammar police. In the end, if you enjoy your dogs and have fun at the events, then continue to run them. God knows we need to ...

I don't necessarily disagree with anything you've said and I've acknowledged that there are almost certainly some good dogs in those venues. However, if you can honestly tell me you believe that a format that makes no attempt to judge quality of work in any way is a good venue for proving quality d...

Thanks Sub, but I just can't spend almost $3 per pound on dog food unless maybe they only require 1 cup a day on it. The buttermilk seems to be making a slight difference and it's only been 3 days. After a week of this treatment I may try adding some PURE pumpkin to their diet if I'm not satisfied ...

I'd the food is soaked in warm water there is no need the blend it.
