Gun Dog Forum

Anyone that has participated in putting on a trial knows that they aren't in it for the enormous profit to be made. They do it because they love dogs and enjoy hours of work with little or no thanks. There always seems to be several monday morning quarterbacks that are free with criticism, but short...

I am pretty sure those results are from the Hungarian Partidge Championship. It immediately followed the Region 8 and is put on by the same people.

great looking pups! congratulations!

kbshorthairs

I think it would be easier for people to give accurate advice if you were to tell us what you intend to do with the dog. I agree that both breeds are capable of being good pets, hunters, and trial dogs. Happiness will be best achieved for you and the dog if you get a pup that has been bred for the p...

Everybody loves PUPPIES!!!!! He is a cutie!

kbshorthairs

Do I understand your post correctly that it is APPROVED for American Field trials and pending with the AKC?? I know there revised collar looked like it would meet the size requirements, but I didn't know how far along in the approval process they were. It makes perfect sense that they would approve ...

kbshorthairs

That is awesome! Congratulations! I guess you will have to change your website where it says she is a big gun dog now that she is winning NGSPA All Age championships!!!! Sounds like an incredible dog!

kbshorthairs

I love the pictures, but it sure makes it harder sitting at home!!

kbshorthairs

That is what I am worried about. If he happens to be one that it bothers, I wouldn't know until after the damage is done. I think I will drive since I want to see that part of the country anyway.

How long was the flight home? How did the pup act and how did your fellow passengers act? I have shipped several dogs in the past, but now I am the customer. I am thinking about driving 1200 miles to pick up a pup rather than having him flown. I am not sure if a long car ride would be more stressful...

Treasure every moment. He will be buying his own tractor before you know it! What an absolute CUTIE!

great pictures!

I appreciate the thankless job that the moderators perform on this forum. I am puzzled however by the standards that they use to "lock" a thread. The rules state that the will censor material that is "......abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, or sexually oriented." That sound...

A big copy of that picture should go on the wall! Great looking dog.

kbshorthairs

Razor makes a good point. I know a breeder that gave a female away because it had a terrible undershot bite and was inferior in several other respects. He didn't have the dog fixed and a few years later the new owner had bred the dog and was advertising puppies EVERYWHERE using the original breeders...

kbshorthairs

Why did you hatch chicken eggs? Just to practice raising chicks?

kbshorthairs

Be careful with that trainer talk. I started out quail hunting. The next thing you know, there was a huge kennel, a one-ton dually, a pro trainer that liked to leave a few dogs with me to kennel or whelp now and then, and a 24ft aluminum trailer and several walking horses! You are right about the ad...

kbshorthairs

My sympathies for your loss. I wish you many days of fun with that new pup!

kbshorthairs

I am a complete novice in this department. Teach me about the importance of COI, especially going back 10 generations. I have been led to believe that little impact is made very far back in the pedigree. (For example, when I see puppy ads proclaiming linebred Rusty and Rusty is in the pedigree ONCE ...

Incredible pictures!!!

kbshorthairs

That is fantastic! Good luck in Eureka!

kbshorthairs

Congrats! That is a really good looking Brittany. Ya gotta love those Blue Ribbons!!!

kbshorthairs

That is fantastic! Congrats all around!

Since you are an expert on this topic, I am curious why your first post asked "why would you change?" Your second post said, "Tell us what a filler is, what they use as a filler and how it cheapens feed."

It would save time if you just told us what you feed and why.

kbshorthairs

If that is true, why don't we all feed Ol Roy and save a fortune? Maybe filler isn't the right terminology. There is a difference in quality of ingredients, wouldn't you agree? For example, there is a difference between meat and meat by-products. Several years ago, group of my friends, including a f...

kbshorthairs

I didn't mean to touch a nerve. I am sure that most feeds used by people on this forum are WONDERFUL. The average run of the mill grocery store brand dog food has ingredients that make the bag weigh 40lbs, but you have to feed more to get the same amount of protein etc.... and only end up with more ...

great looking pictures! the orange and white dog even matches the orange longhorns hat!

I received a daisy BB gun when I was 5 after taking a shooting class at scout camp. I started hunting with my older cousin and he loaned me a twenty guage single shot after watching me shoot BBs at quail for a year! For my twelfth Christmas my dad bought be a Mossberg 20 guage pump. I have a closet ...

kbshorthairs

There is always a marketing genius behind a desk that decides, "Hey! What if we just make the bag smaller and keep the price the same?!?!?!?" Whether it is potato chips or dog food it is always the same scenario. Other companies put more filler in the food. I think I will stick with the Pro Plan. Lo...

he is a sweetheart

Someday, when I grow up, I want to watch an All Age dog roll across that country!!!!! I wonder if Eldon needs an assistant.

kbshorthairs

They are keeping the Pro Plan Performance just as it is I believe.

kbshorthairs

Robbi,

That river really is up! We lucked on when Ike went through and only got a nice soft rain. After reading your post, I could almost hear Keith telling you to get rid of the camera! I hope I can get to Eureka to see you guys and that the weather stays as nice as it is right now!

Blue Dawn Kennels and Chisholm Creek Kennels are both in Kansas. Most of Mark's dogs at CCK are from the lines that that Robbi and Keith have bred through the years. I would highly recommend them. They are the real deal. You wouldn't have to worry about someone claiming champion bred dogs only to fi...

kbshorthairs

Has anyone found a good looking GSP logo that can be used for embroidery on caps? One with a 12 o'clock tail perhaps?

kbshorthairs

Blue Dawn Kennels. I think they have a couple of six month old pups still available. Can't go wrong with them.

kbshorthairs

That was amazing! Fantastic pictures and perfect setting!

kbshorthairs

I believe that the "carry license" is for concealed weapons. If you are hunting.........carrying a pistol or using a holster should be fine.......and smart!

kbshorthairs

When running puppies, if they point or show interest in larks or other non-game birds it is considered OK. They somehow learn the difference with time. What I am curious about is pigeons. I know that the dogs can smell 10,000 times better than I can, but how can they run past some larks, that are si...

kbshorthairs

I have noticed several pictures where the dog has an e-collar around his flank. Do trainers use that to work on point intensity, to raise the dog up if he crouches when he points, ......what?

kbshorthairs

Thanks!

Is there a website that lists the AKC field trial dates and locations for GSP trials? I used to be on most of the clubs mailing lists but haven't trialed for several years. I just renewed my membership to the GSPCA and my subscription to the American Field. I am trying to get back into the loop and ...
