Haha that's funny. I keep my pups inside for most of the day. They probably spend 3 hours outside during the week supervised. They go out training and back in the crate. I must be the worst owner ever. I won't let them Out around the house till they are two years old.

Took Tac out for his first hunt. Let my female kimber find a covey while he was in the box and shot one for her (seniority has its perks). put her up and let the little man roll. Came up a small wash not five min in and he was standing. He had never been on wild birds before and just stuck that bird...

Figured if you wanted a dog to bark you would allow them to do it around your trailer, house etc. I hunt more then you think on those pesky valley quail. Not too many hour stakes being run in Southern California unless you own a Brittany for that one stake they have usually. Never said "topic dog" w...

Didn't Riggins White Knight do something like this in the National Championship? This was before my time, but I think I remember a story about him barking on point or barking after the birds left. No it was Red water rex who would whine and bark on point while hoyle attempted to flush So the truth ...

My pup was thrown out for being gone 6-7 min in a gun dog stake, to the front just running a shooting dog brace. So to be thrown out for a dog barking after a bird takes off wouldn't be too rough , I think I could handle
It.

I am by no means a trialer. I am a hunter. I don't understand why you would want your dog so far out in front of you that you couldn't see it. I like my dogs to work with/for me, not hunting out on their own. Why post in a trial topic if you don't .... Trial or have experience with it? Kinda like m...

Dog barking at bird = a dog that would be better suited for hunt tests

Divorce is worth the freedom!

I will be sending my pup to summer camp this year in ND. Plus it will force me to take a vacation to check up on my dog. Money well spent.

ultracarry

If you are going to hunt quail in Texas, you are going to pay. In time it will be that way throughout the country. There is no logic in expecting taxpayers to furnish us with land and game to hunt. Private landowners should be compensated. Private landowners are compensated with subsidies, price su...

thanks guys & gals.
I have someone who will take pics next week. Sorry I was not even thinking about pics, I was scared to death.

he makes me feel nervous the whole week.

ultracarry

He is off to a better start then kimber was. So I'm planning on keeping him around till this summer, then he will go on the championship circuit and run in the futurity at nationals.

Ran kimber Tactical in puppy this weekend at Kistler Ranch. First place in puppy (16 dogs) and First in Open Gun Dog. Too bad he went birdless in AGD or he might have had a great weekend. But I won't complain. He's still only 13 months.

Wild bird venue (Idaho, Montana, Dakotas, ?), same place or rotate - no matter, fall or spring is fine - if I had to pick I'd say early fall as it usually brings heat/conditioning more into the mix. Give me the reins, we'll get 'er on the schedule. :wink: :D http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s55/d...

Not a Lab fan... But that's a really nice looking dog! Congrats.

Calico's Lady Belle lived to 12 and did it until she died. Helluva good dog, BTW, a field trial reject. Had a cannon for a nose, could run all day, and over the hill honest. Belle would stand on a bird for as long as it took for me to find her and get to her. Amazing, how those "field trial reject"...

No such thing as GSP/ pointer cross..... They would just be a GSP.

Great, now I have to make a run to the big city to get a Five Guys fix. I'll obsess over it now. Darn it, I can feel the arteries clogging now. 5 Guys is so politically incorrect too. There are peanuts all over for you to snack on and the fries are made in peanut oil and they brag about using 70/30...

I just hate.... Dry, hot, dusty, and running into the wind

K9 or chukar 12... Really good dogs there.

Kimber And Tac the other week.

ultracarry

Now you woke up Mr. Favor. Nice post btw.

When they are young I would use both... One to sleep in at night and the wire one for when you are home. I haven't had a puppy pee through the wire unless there was a visitor he decided he needed to pee on. That was completely my fault but I was laughing and did not reprimanded him for doing so.

ultracarry

Break them both then choose which one you want... What's another three months? Or three weeks.

First trial, first derby win and it cost me everything I owned but my dog and truck. Ex wife got the rest, I just couldn't imagine not having that dog. Now I'm on dog two and got another derby win the first time I put him down. Pretty sure I will be staying unmarried . I have done both and a field t...

It was a good start for the year. Now for broke stakes.
Heard your kennels name a lot at the awards dinner..... A lot of new FC last year for your breedings.

Put Tac down in his first field trial in Derby and puppy. Had him going forward at 8 and found standing at 18. Stayed steady through the flush and shot with another dog pointing right behind him. Best little dog I have had yet. This boy knows how to run and my scout had him running the ridge lines w...

ultracarry

Thanks. For markings the other side is almost completely white. And the white on his tail goes in a stripe all the way to the base of his tail. This is the pup that also broke his knee... And his final count for birds ended at 32 when they ordered more... He is very nice. Gun dog stakes next month!

ultracarry

Its hard to believe that this guy was once 10 pounds and puking his guts up on the way to his first field trial.... Then breaking some small bone in his knee while unsupervised in the garage. Four months of crate rest and two surgeries... Then 22+ birds Sunday on a guided hunt and didn't take a step...

You obviously didn't get what you thought you paid for. Nicely bred vizslas go $1500-2000, ones health garanteed, titled parents, they usually come with breeders that will take care of this way before you go on a forum posting about problems.

Not a BS comment. Just don't sugar coat.

ultracarry

If you paid 1k for a (vizsla you will get what you pay for.

And there is never drama. Tac takes good care of them..

Garrison,
He likes any show that one of my girlfriends are watching... He is a solid wing man.
Shot 22 birds over him this morning. Only turned to mark one bird.

ultracarry

Well since Kimber Tactical (Tac) hit the one year mark i thought i would post some pics and say that this dog has surprised me. he is steady through the fall, retrieves to hand, hits his points hard, runs like a mad man, quiet around the house, and loves to watch TV. He is co-owned by Matt S.

ultracarry

Just borrow some from garrison... Southern California you can't be over two hours away

BTW Ryan, nice looking shorthair.

Looks great! Have fun with her this season Joe.

I would say if you are working planted birds you should do 20% (i guess that's what I always tip when I go out). But points start getting deducted for birds bumped, rooted, chased, etc. If they find the birds you missed add 25% of the bird cost because he is working longer for your missed shots and ...

ultracarry

We had that on our list but are not going. Its all walking I think with one HB brace. Prob won't be a wrangler either.

ultracarry

Do you have a pro available to help you learn how to steady your dog?

ultracarry

I have done the math with mine.... The amount of money is secondary to the 30 minute rush when your dog is laying one down, new friends, cool places... I don't know what my ex wife was thinking when she bought me the dog but the obsession was surely a factor in the divorce. Not a bad thing, just a f...

bobman did make a good point. Contact Leroy Merrell in bakersfield, He trains dogs for field trialers and may have one that didnt make the cut in the run department. Also give landmark kennels a call, Ellis does a good job training dogs and i know he hassome fully trained dogs available for sale. He...

listen to the advice and set an alarm or have the kennel next to your bed (if you are a light sleeper). The dog needs to go out every two hours..... you wait for him to do his business, he gets to come back in. it really does suck having a puppy but if you do it right in 4 weeks he will be good to g...

from the fourth of July.

here is a picture of Jax, he is a son of Buddy who will be running in trials next year. The pic is from when he was 6 months and standing broke. Matt just doesnt like taking chances without the check cord.

Dog was lost in Winchester ca... Intersection closest would be domigoni expressway and Winchester.

ultracarry

We all know that the best shorthairs come from pet stores I'm sure they all don't, but maybe I just got lucky. Sure didn't spend 2500 on a dog that was wearing a check cord at 10 months so I could take a perdy picture to justify the price and breeding of said dog though. Nope, she stood on her own ...

ultracarry

Just a question that didn't get answered. Also there was anouther question above mine that didn't get answered also. Btw why would you breed soo early?
