She is a pretty dog, I have a little guy about his same age. They are alot of fun.

I am coming out in the morning to help out. Jeb said you needed some volunteers. I will be there around 730 AM. Anytime next week would be good. Thanks

My pointer is giving me headaches. He will stand some days and others he wont. He has such a strong prey drive, which I like, but we need to learn to focus it. I have some launchers on order but they wont be here for about 3-4 weeks. We have worked WHOA for many weeks and he does very well, he will ...

Good lookin bird, here in UT we have to draw and it takes like 3-6 years. Its a joke. Hopefully next year I will get the chance.

I currently have gravel, and I am very sick of it. Any other suggestions for kennel floors without spending a fortune. Thanks

I like the liver with the white legs. Do you trial him? Or NSTRA? I would be very interested but I just picked up my new pup 2 weeks ago. My wife would kill me.

He hunts likes it no tomorrow. I take him roading with my pointer and we usually go 10-12 miles and its not a problem for him at all. The only time he slows down is when we are hunting chukars in the steep rocky country. Other than that he never stops. He does well in the NSTRA trials I attend. We c...

Lets try this. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh138/elkhunter_ruger/100_1414.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh138/elkhunter_ruger/100_1416.jpg These are of my GSP, you cant really tell in this photo, but he only has 3 legs, he fell out of the truck as a puppy. http://i255.photobucket.com...

Here is my pointer. He is 18 months old, holding his birds alot better, but still wants to break. I like his style though, he looks good. http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh138/elkhunter_ruger/?action=view¤t=100_1416.jpg http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh138/elkhunter_ruger/?action=view&c...

48 AL 28. Thats what it says on the side of the gun.

How much would a 20 gauge semi automatic shotgun be worth? Its basically brand new.

He is finished as far as obedience trained. Steady to flush, heel, whoa, here etc. Its just the retrieving is sloppy. If I put the plank between two chairs, what do I tie him up to? So that he wont pull away, claw at me etc?

I just recently watched the FF from Jim Dobbs. I have watched it a couple of times and I feel comfortable with the process. My GSP has decided he does not like retrieving that much anymore. He drops them, circles me, drops them, then pee's on them. Then is off to find another bird. My only question ...

Any breed can be a disaster! Especially your own dog. Nothing like screaming and yelling at your dog while he runs away. We have all been there.

What shots and how often should I be giving my dogs after they get their puppy shots?

I think I am going to go with Rich, I have heard alot of really good things from him. I wanted to go with Yallawac but the extra cost to ship is too high. It seems there are ALOT of really good trainers out there. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks for the advice and tips.

I have an EP. Is Dave worth the additional $200. I was also referred to Rich Robinson in ID. Has anyone used him?

Looking for a reliable trainer in NV or ID or UT. Thanks

Anyone know a good pointer trainer in the UT or ID or area? I am thinking about sending my pointer out. Thanks

He finds them, but he wont hold point. He will point when we set it up with a CC and walk him into the bird. He is getting better and better each time. I am just comparing him to my GSP who was so easy to train, stood on his birds from the very beginning. Now I have my hands full with this out of co...

Utah really doesnt allow training on wild birds from april to august. It makes sense, and I went out for the last time this week for pheasants around my house. But I was not aware it was a law. Good to know though. How far of a drive from SLC is it to get to some decent sharptail country in ID? Thanks

I will try that this week. I really like the dog, he looks good, lots of stamina. He is young, only 18 months. So I will work on those other things and get him following my lead. Thanks

He knows here just fine. We have worked on that alot. He responds to it, he is very hard headed, I have to increase the stimulation alot sometimes it seems to get him to obey. And I know he knows what "here" means. When we do yard training and I say "here" with very little stimulation he comes runni...

Whenever I go exercise my pointer, he hunts for himself, runs off and then I spend my time looking for him. And I mean he just runs anywhere he wants, my shorthair keeps track of me and stays in front. Whats a good training technique to keep him hunting to the front but also keeping an eye on me and...

Go around the marsh's by the lake. And up towards willard bay. Not much good dog work country, its just very thick and nasty. You will find birds, but dog work is very hard.

I am thinking of getting a new dog this summer or early fall. I want a GSP. I have considered a pup out of Sonny and I was also curious about Rick. Any input would be appreciated.
