At four generations back on the potential pup between the two................. it ain't even close enough to consider calling it linebreeding,breed based on performance not paper IMO.

Wildweeds

Females being worth more than males is a bull poo poo breeder deal as far as I'm concerned,Its a way for a breeder to get more money out of a pup based on the potential downstream money that COULD potentially be made should an UNSCROUPULOS breeder such as THEMSELVES........... have a litter.

Looks like Lady Bob to me as well.

I think it will be more like 1500 for a breeding and 1000 dollar pups from a specific kennel.Lets just hope he produces better than the last national champion,Johnny Crockett SUCKED in production of winners numbers,he got the hall of fame because ALMOST everyone that had ever seen him was dead and t...

Was not my shag fav and never will be,but got to give credit where it's due, Dandy effort and a big paycheck for all involved along with some pretty good instafame that will become legendary in 15 years.Lets just hope breeding is selective and his production is 10 fold of the last HOF NC Setter.

Did the same kind of thing years ago on my own property, had 5 times more trees than your pictures show(you couldn't walk 4 feet in any direction without running into a tree),all of no value other than firewood.I rented a 200 size excavator for 1700 dollars for the month and ripped an acres worth of...

My buddy does it and in two years of screwing around got 37K worth he cashed in to ski bum off of.Some jackwagon kids that live in his area who were always hitchhiking and bumming drinks at the local bar were drunk and breaking rocks in the creek with a sledgehammer,knocked a granite rock in half an...

I is a straight shooter.................... told ya you would be happy.

Wildweeds

You allready have a feedback arena IMO,it's called start a thread,ask a question about a breeder and use the PM function to have opinions expressed whether good or bad in private as to not sling mud.

Not sure how fast they are but I know what they are not faster than................ .220 swift

First runoff in second,setter prediction #1 down

Wildweeds

This is something I've wondered about as well [quote="Highway Ends Kennel") Could this also allow "abnormal" sperm or sperm of less quality to fertilize the eggs and produce lower quality pups? This would be based on the premise that because the sperm is not subject to the same process of eliminatio...

I used Vetcor K9 reproduction in Canada and the ICSB in Oregon for collection/freeze points,I haven't used any as the male is still alive and sired a litter 2 years ago at age 10 that produced 9 pups. You need to have 100 million live swimmers at thawback for a viable breeding,the quality inspection...

I been buying really nice chukars,9 month old fully mature shooting preserve birds for 10 bucks a pop,I've bought 40 of them in the last 2 months,they put up with no monkey buisness from the dogs and eat pretty good too.To quote Bob Pettit.........."The cheapest part of owning a birddog is what peop...

You need to have 100 million live swimmers at thawback for a viable breeding,the quality inspection has a freezing and thawback with a small sample to determine how much is lost through freezing and thaw,the math is done and the remaining sample is packaged for breedings with the premise that the qu...

Fuzz, I did the research prior to fiddling with it as far as the only time I've messed with it personally and did not intend my original post to be construed as whining as much as informative for others contemplating such an undertaking. now that you mention it I know another guy who did 9 surgical ...

Thought perhaps a discussion on breedings brought on by science and vetrinary intervention would be informational. A woman I know just used some fresh chilled on a gordon setter,in an exchange with her I tried to inform her of things I've learned through personal experiance and experiances of others...

Wildweeds

Yes you should contact the breeder and yes the breeder if a good one should refund some of the money,you got a pet,pet prices do not command top dollar,Top dollar should mean that IF you WANT to use the dog for breeding you CAN.I wouldn't even bother registering that dog as it serves no point to kee...

In any breed or genre,pointing flushing retrieving I think the amount of huntability the dog has is specific to each dog.I've hunted with a NFC that was outdone more than once by a derby aged hunting dog.My buddy has a wirehair that he had his buddy a pro lab field trial handler/trainer train for hu...

Do you have an auction barn locally and the stomach/mindset to get it done yourself?

Pointers is pointas and settas is settas and thems birddogs,sorry continental breed folks yours are considered dogs that find birds but not actually "birddogs" to the true blue redneck crew.

Never seen one much over 40,think english setter of the orange and white variety for genetic code.

Yep agree 100%, the intro has been all wrong with this dog,For starters put the pistol up and leave it where it should be,in the safe or the sock drawer,.22 pistols KRAAAACK,the pitch is completely different than the BOOM of a shotgun,also if your useing live rounds in that .22 it creates a subsonic...

Make a slipknot with a carabiner attatched to the center ring on the collar,attach cord to centerring and go around the dog behind front legs and up through the carabiner,makes a half hitch that always stays in the correct position,you'll have 2 finger control as there is a very sensitive nerve behi...

No what they are wanting are stakes for special olympians of dogdom,No finished dogs in the open and amateur stakes.There is no way to judge the true ability of the dog if they can't beat a finished one.There's lots of 8-10 year old dogs around here that have trialed the whole time and have one plac...

As to training what? a Labrador,a pointing labrador or a pointing breed pointer/setter/gsp/gwp/britt?Your searching for a reference I'm guessing as you've allready contacted him.

Leave your shotgun at home for a couple trips and just follow along behind her,don't fiddle with her tail and whoaing her and let that 8 month old pup be a pup,my opinion is the dog is overtrained for her age in that she can't mentally handle it pressure wise,short and sweet hunts get her in birds a...

1- hunting is hunting and sometimes you find nothing otherwise it would be called shooting
2- don't feed before because you could end up with gastric torsion which will ruin your day
3- Even a day with no birds is better than working.

Relatively certain that Sportdog is the new restructured version of Innotek.Which means unless they worked a miricle it's still junk.I had a innoteck and as mentioned by hoosier I spent tons of time with the warranty department on collar failure and transmitter woes.The system which was 600 bucks ma...
