I was thinking the same thing, they sure aren't very long.

Hey Rodney,

I live 5 minutes from from Sewell. Did you send the dog to a hunting home? Trialing home?

Matt

GSPVIZ

I was thinking of getting one of these to help me work with my dog. Since I do most of my training alone, I hope it will stop her from creeping up when I go in to flush.

Nice setup.

Yea you can get that kind of cable at any home improvement store.

Where did you get stakes like that? I have a local steel supply house that might have something like that laying around.

What length do you recommend? How far do you drive it in the ground?

GSPVIZ

Fellow Jerseyan here.

My vet charged us $150 ish when we had our Vizsla spayed about a year ago.

The are pretty expensive on everything else but I was certainly pleased to pay the $150.

GSPVIZ

What is the best tie out stake to use? I want to use them for my dogs when they are in the front yard, hunting, or when waiting at hunt tests.

What do you all suggest?

GSPVIZ

Yea that is the type of stuff I was looking into. They just want too much dang money for the stuff.

GSPVIZ

This might be what I do.......

An attractive but very hearty, deep rooted, urine tolerant lawn would be to establish modern turf-type tall fescue lawn. Once established this turf will stand up to most dog activity. Yes I sodded with tall fescue but I didn't have the ability to keep the dogs off it until it rooted well (lessons l...

GSPVIZ

All, My yard is smaller so any activity in the yard just tears it up. I cannot let them do it anymore becasue I really don't feel like wiping them off every time they come in the house, i don't want mud all over the place. Also I don't care if they don't get exercise in the yard, I exercise them eno...

GSPVIZ

Pavers would just splatter the pee all over his legs I think. I have seen him pee on the sidewalk and its not a pretty sight!

I had a nice sod job in my back yard last summer and it will need to be totally redone at this point from these crazy dogs.

GSPVIZ

So I have finally decided that when the dogs go into the back yard to do their thing, they need to be sectioned off. I was going to fence off a 12x12 section for them. My question is, what is the best thing to put down for them. I don't want to have to deal with mud. I was looking at synthetic grass...

GSPVIZ

Congrats Eddie! She sure is a fine looking dog!

GSPVIZ

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

GSPVIZ

Good, I got the birds from Feather Prayer in Pemberton. It was about 20 mins from the club. I got 5 pheasants and 3 chukar. I just let them go in the field to have "wild hunt". Margo did well, got 4 out of 5 pheasants and 1 out of 3 chukars. It was cold as heck out there! The wind was really kicking...

GSPVIZ

Hey!

I got them from Feather Prayer in Pemberton, its about 15 mins from the club.

GSPVIZ

Yea I noticed they raised the price also.

GSPVIZ

Yea I mean I have came across some dead birds (who knows how long) and the dog will just smell them and be on her way. She doesn't point them. That is why I don't understand why some ppl save wings to train with.

GSPVIZ

This might sound like a stupid ? but, why will a dog point a live bird but not point a bird that has just been killed. Is the scent that much different after the bird has been shot?

GSPVIZ

I use #7 shot for everything (pheasant, chukar, and quail).

GSPVIZ

Well I went to Sam's after I was told on the phone that they were not reordering any more Exceed. There were 4 full pallets that were just shipped to my local Sam's all coming from Nestle Purina. I guess they are not switching manufacturers or that was maybe their last shipment from Purina. We'll se...

GSPVIZ

I put this chest guard on my Viz. It helps her not get ripped up as much, keeps her safe from all of these maniacs here in NJ that will shoot at anything moving, and it helps me easily spot her (she blends in with the cover so easily. http://images115.fotki.com/v686/photos/1/14762/6920001/Picture017...

GSPVIZ

Just called my local Sam's and they said they are not restocking it!

Called the HQ. Hung up on the first lady since she was an idiot. Put in a complaint with the 2nd rep. A manager is going to call me back.

GSPVIZ

Yea I was just at Sam's on Sunday and noticed they didn't have exceed on the shelf. I saw the new stuff and it sure did look inferior to Exceed.

I have about 4-5 days left of Exceed.

GSPVIZ

Be careful with state regs and seasons. A bird out of season, outside of regulation, I do not think can be harvested without the Regulated Shooting license. Just a precaution, cant say for sure. Fuess Our club does have a preserve license and I believe we are good through March (if not April). Matt...

GSPVIZ

Yea this not a training session. Just going out to do some hunting.

GSPVIZ

Mine go CRAZY and know it is time to work when the e-collars come out and when I put on my boots.

GSPVIZ

So, this weekend instead of heading up to a preserve, i plan to plant some birds (Phez and Chukar) on my training grounds and shoot them over my dog. I have never planted birds that I intend to shoot, so my question is, should they be dizzied or just planted? What type of cover, etc? Any other tips ...

GSPVIZ

Wow! thanks for sharing. That sure is a nice looking pup!

GSPVIZ

Hey Gary!

I was thinking of actually sending Margo away for a little to get her some professional training. My wife said no way could she send her away for that length of time. I guess I have to start the sweet talkin!

Let me know how she does when you get updates.

Matt

GSPVIZ

I would just try and find out who the test secretary is and email them. They will email the premium back to you.

GSPVIZ

Ray,

I ended up taking my other vehicle

Hope to see you next time.

GSPVIZ

A couple of pics......

GSPVIZ

Congrats Dennis!

It was great meeting you this weekend and I look forward to seeing you at the next test!!!!

Matt

GSPVIZ

Well it was a fun weekend. Met a lot of nice people and the dogs had a blast.

Margo (Viz) passed both days. She had 5 finds on day 1, day 2 she had 3 finds then the judge asked me to pick her up.

Pokey (GSP) didn't find any birds on day 1 but day 2 he passed with 1 find.

RayG did you make it?

GSPVIZ

Welcome to the forum.

What a great looking pup!

Make sure to keep us all updated.

GSPVIZ

Hi All,

Is anyone else entered in the Hunt Test in Petersburg this weekend? This is my first!!!!

I know Briarpatch is entered.

Ray G are you headed down?

Look for me if you are, i will be driving a green jeep cherokee.

Matt

GSPVIZ

I love that pic Fraze!

GSPVIZ

Regarding the tail, I just wanted to see if someone could photo shop it for my personal use. I just love the pic and just wanted to see if someone could fix it for me so I can get it blown up and framed. I don't want to resubmit the photo shopped tail, just PM it to me if anyone would could do it. T...

GSPVIZ

We got 8" of snow here in South Jersey. We haven't seen this much snow in a long time. I took the dogs out this afternoon, they had a blast! I messed with a couple to add some cool effects. If any of you can photo shop out the collars, that would be much appreciated. These are some of the best pics ...

So I guess you just had to break off the branch, and grill it up like that!

GSPVIZ

While hunting this weekend my Viz bumped a rooster. Bird flushed up about 25 feet, hit a tree and dropped out of the air. Dogs found the bird. That sucker was stone cold dead on the ground! The dummy knocked itself out! At least it will make good eating since there was no shot in it! :lol: You ever ...

GSPVIZ

There looks like there are some good ones here:

GSPVIZ

So I went on my first quail hunt this weekend. We traded the birds in for some frozen ones.

I see most recipes tell you to use semi de-boned quail. How do you remove the bones?

Can you eat the bird with the bones, or are you just asking for trouble?

GSPVIZ

Thats great Gabe. Thanks for sharing. I wish we had some snow like that around here!

As to the pastor, he probably shouldn't have gotten the dog in the first place. I spent some years in consumer finance years ago and learned that most people live on the financial edge. They get absolutely as much house as they can "qualify" for and live beyond their means. Then, any unforseen thin...

GSPVIZ

Yup thats the setup I have right now.

GSPVIZ

FYI I highly recommend the Otis kit. Just make sure to order extra patches since the kit I bought only came with 10.
