My understanding is that the problem was "killing birds for points" not necessarily "killing birds for bird dogs".

what's the difference?

You'll have to ask Bernie that question, not me.

On the breeding, who owns "Kraftman's Ko Kane"? Her owner wishes to remain anonyomous, so I can not say (It's a Miller thing :D) I see you have Molly that is a product of Kraftman's Ko Kane and Miller and you have Jack that is a nick of Kraftman's Ko Kane and Guard Rail. Which do you think worked b...

The BAMA started today. The IN is next and then George heads north. I assume the MI, Egypt, Keystone, Canadian, etc. We'll send two north, not sure who will be going with Jack yet. Rocky, Ace and Cooper are trying to earn a ride.

Yawallac

Those aren't roads, they're fire breaks. Dang Mid-westerners!! :D BTW, guess what? Did you see that our " This year's Derby" just qualified for the National Shooting Dog Championship yesterday? That's Jack, my avatar, he placed 2nd in the Dixie Derby Classic (1 hr) and then finished 2nd in the Natio...

Yawallac

Thanks everybody. I'm surprised that no one asked if I could milk him! :D Just bred him to this Miller female to see what he can produce ...and to clean him up a bit. :wink: Molly (Miller's Ghost Rider x Kraftsman's Ko Kane) http://www.perfectpedigrees.com/4genview.php?id=1602 http://www.caladenkenn...

Jake will be 1 year old on the 23rd of this month. He will be our featured Derby for next season. I took this video today because Doug hates stacked pics. He's just a pup, so he'll make a mistake or two ...but he's not too bad. :D First find - about 25 birds got up and I didn't shoot right away beca...

Yawallac

Duane, you're right, the last NBHA Championship that I ran in was the ft season before the retrieve requirement was lifted. Even then, it was only one bird shot on the course for the retrieve. More recently, the United Bird Hunters tried to get AF recognition but couldn't because Bernie said no kill...

Yawallac

...it was not working , so why pay for it.

Scott, without it, you lost AF recognition. That was probably a tough decision.

BTW, as far as I know the NBHA still shoots birds (a bird) on the course in Championships. At least they did two years ago in the last NBHA Championship that I ran in. ???

Not a competing site, just another forum that might interest the field trial crowd. (happy)

I don't hear of a well worn path to his door to breed to his VC or buy a pup.

That's because he's ahead of his time.

Yawallac

Actually Ross I have seen you refer to them as "anologies" in 2 separate posts when I think you actually mean "analogies" but hey who is keeping count.

That's because I spell like a 6th Grader!

Yawallac

This was their first meal off of momma last week. http://www.caladenkennels.com/gallery/sarah_guardrail/firstmeal.jpg Sharon, won't see 13 because we lost 4. I whelped the litter in a whelping box in the house rather than our whelping building because I wanted to give them "special care". I think th...

Yawallac

Ross was rude.

I thought his post with the redundant anologies was condescending. I responded in kind.

Your post made me smile.

Yawallac

You start telling us about the dogs you are breeding to that have excelled in NAVADA instead of field trials and then I will quietly turn around and not go there. Ezzy Then you better start turning around because when ckirsch puts a VC on his UT PI male, we'll be breeding to it. That dog has an All...

Yawallac

Lets use Ross for example how many pups does he raise a year and how many AA champions has it produced? This is only year two for this kennel and we are way ahead of schedule. Give me some time and you'll see how many we produce. :wink: it takes a special dog to make an AA dog not every dog is cut ...

Yawallac

Ut oh, don't go there Ezzy. My avatar is the one of biggest running dogs on George Tracy's string and he earned a NAVHDA NA PII 107.

I think Hustonmc's post is spot on. A biddable Pointer, with all the tools, can do whatever you ask it to do.

Pointers are so misunderstood.

.

Yawallac

Tom, I have been battling Pointer stereotypes for years, whether it be from people that think all Pointers are run-offs, Pointers won't retrieve, Pointers can't swim, Pointers are aloof, Pointers aren't affectionate and more. It also carries over to lines and I think that the Elhew line gets a bad r...

Here is what I "gleened" from your post. You write like a 6th grader.

Yawallac

My avatar was braced with her in her most recent Championship win. She is so beautiful that I think Jack tried to show off and ran completely off the course! Young dogs, what are you gonna do!?

She is one good looking Pointer!!

Yawallac

Do you have contact info?

.

Yawallac

Would you suggest a 1 year old started dog instead of a pup, since you would more likely know what you have? Yep, I like started pups/dogs for that reason. Prices go up as hunting season approaches, but you can generally find some great deals during the summer and there will be more inventory to ch...

Yawallac

Yea yea I know Ross,,,, cause I keep hearing you can't.

Rich, sorry. I misunderstood your post. "I keep hearing YOU can't."

Got it, I get it, good point.

ROSS WHAT STUDS AND BITCHES PRODUCE CLOSE WORKING DOGS? GET IT? SHEESH! :D :D Now you're getting it. You DD guys are always a bit slow. :D Call some breeders and tell them what you are looking for. They will tell you if they have pups that will meet your needs. After training a DD you will be amaze...

Yawallac

dont worry about what line, just get a pup and make it range how you want. YES! In fact, when you get your pup, put your blinders on and pretend that it's a brand new DD pup. I'm absolutely serious. Train it just like your DD, test it in NAVHDA, do everything you would do with a versatile pup ...an...

Yawallac

I will never hunt on a horse. Never. I want a dog that likes to hunt close to me naturally. I don't want to end up like my friend with dogs that naturally hunt big, and have to correct them. I am asking if their is a line of Pointers that will have a naturally shorter range. I have heard you about ...

Yawallac

Seems to me like if you want a close working English Pointer though Elhew would be the way to go just in my humble opinion. That's fine but BoDarc is NOT an Elhew kennel. And I don't care who you plug, but you should at least know what your plugging! Helllooooooo. :D Now I've noticed the guys out t...

Yawallac

As a foot hunter I don't see a big running dog as a good match for me. You're not listening. A big running dog is fine ...as long as you're on a horse. That same dog should also be your woodcock dog. A close working Pointer, that only hunts close, is not a good Pointer and a big running Pointer, th...

Yawallac

Personally,,, I would always rather have to push'em them pull'em. Just for internet comversation,,,, why would ya believe that?

Rich, I've read that from you before ...and I just chuckle.

Yawallac

I think he is looking for line of dogs not a certain kennel. That was pretty funny ...cuz you went right into a kennel promo! One of my biggest running dogs goes back to Mike's stuff, Bo darc Daisey Mae. :lol: Birddogz, you're asking the wrong question. The question should be, "What line of Pointer...

Yawallac

Yeah, those Miller crosses ought to be some real boot-lickers.

Yawallac

How big is your female? Can you post pics of her?

Yawallac

I would say that doing it for a pup would be on the extreme low end. I would not offer a female for lease for less than $2500.

Yawallac

I have pups on the ground from both studs from similarly bred females ...and I am very pleased with the looks of both litters.

How's your female bred?

Yawallac

He's Attitude bred. BTW, that's the lowest I have ever seen his head on point. Seriously, he is the CRANKINGEST dog I have ever seen ...and I have seen a boat load of crankers. This dog cranks when I drive by a KFC!!

Here's a stylish young boy of ours that I am finishing out right now.

Even though a runner up champion gave a championship performance but wasn't the best dog that day I wonder if that is part of the reason Rail Dancer isn't in the Hall of Fame. His production record is impressive and he has several wins but never a champion. Big Dave, That's a resonable assumption c...

Yawallac

I don't think the FDSB cares if the Championship title was a Ch. or an RU Ch., they are both Champions. What? A RU CH is not a Champion ...and is not indicated anywhere on the pedigree. I have a litter of Rail Dancer pups. He was a 6x RU CH. It's not listed on my pups pedigree ...I only know he was...

Pointers can't swim.

.

Yawallac

So does this mean that if a dog were to be named RU CH at a Championship, the pedigree would show it as CH so and so?

No, RU CH is not designated on a pedigree.

Yawallac

...and only a CH shows up on a pedigree, a RU CH does not.

I hear theres some nice pointer pups hanging in the warm SC weather

There are nice Pointer pups in MI too! It's easy to find good Pointer blood almost anywhere ...but thanks for the plug!

Yawallac

Most likely just a bonafide Runt,like the breeder says. Where does it say that the "breeder" said that? I like smaller dogs,more snappier in the field and more agile in the woods,and some more stamina then the bigger more heavier dogs.She looked just as good at the end of four hours as she did when...

Yawallac

It doesn't matter how many pups are in the litter, a pup that small is not right.

If you don't want opinions, don't ask.

Yawallac

Somethings not right and I would be worried about other genetic problems as well. Could be fine, but not something I would invest my time on. JMO.
