LVRGSP, I love Cecil dogs so much I have 2 Ruger pups laying around in the kennel right now. Neither one of them will run under 100 yards and they are 8 months old. I wouldn't trade either pup because I like a little go in them but Will said he wanted a 40-60 yard dog that will quarter. If this is w...

volraider

Will, If you want a dog to quarter 40-60 yards to the front and work back to the gun then you are looking at the wrong blood lines. The bloodlines you mentioned are bigger running dogs and depending on the breeding could be huge running dogs. Most gsp people are tickled to death with the bloodlines ...

20 weeks old is a time to expose the pup to as many different things as possible and hunting wild birds is the best exposure possible. Wild birds will teach a pup to point stauchly better than any checkcord or commands. You will know when your pup is ready for pressure training he will let you know ...

volraider

I would suggest the checkcord and instead of pulling straight back on the dog from behind to stop him, try and get to one side or the other and make a looping circle to stop him this keeps the pressure off of him and he also learns he can't catch the birds. How old is the pup? If he's knocking and c...

Very nice dogs!!!

Emptypair, I can show you Britts that will run to the moon and back, then I have also seen pointers that you have to kick to get out from under your feet. So to me it has more to do with bloodlines. I think on average you are right on that more britts will stay closer than any other but there some h...

I fed diamond for 3 years and I like the results until they swapped formula's. The new formula made for loose stools and I can't have that when it comes time for clean up.

I now feed Exceed 30-20 from sams and I like the stools but the coats don't seem to look as good as they did on Diamond.

When do the leaves usually start falling in northern Pa.

I live in east Tn and I hunted 40 days here last year, I can say there is birds here but be ready to use the boot leather.

Google Higgins gundogs. Brad has the dvd's on his site.

Looks like around Clinton, Potter, or the Alleghenys. We can't make up our mind for sure yet. Any help would be appreciated. You can PM me if need be.

Thanks,
Brian

Tell us more about yourself and what you want to do with the dog and where do you live and what are you going to hunt? Do you expect the dog to be a family dog, live in the house, or is it a full time kennel dog. Once you figure out what kind of dog you want then you can break down bloodlines to fit...

We are heading to the Northcentral region of PA and we are looking for a cabin or a place to stay. If anyone has any idea's that can help else please pm me.

Listen to Snips she knows whats she's doing. I also like the idea of a letting a pup flush the bird for the same reason. When a pup figures out he can't catch the bird is when you have an honest bird dog. When people never let the pup figure this out then the dog will sometimes be a creeper or even ...

Bill Gibbons in AZ would be a good choice. I have watched his seminars and was impressed.

volraider

Casper, You have the Smith method down pat. Delmar and his boys have broke a lot of dogs so there's no way I can say anything bad about their method but I will so there is a easier way. Check out the West/Gibbons method if you want a method that makes sense and is easy to train. With the West Method...

Gibbons/West seminar. You can buy it at higgins gundogs. This is a 6 hour DVD of a seminar done in TX. The DVD will take you from starting a pup to a finished dog. There is a lot of talking and explaining on why they do stuff the way they do it, then they take you to the field and show you how to do...

Chaingang,

Whats the count down on your pups at? Mine are wild, they dig out of the kennel and then dig into the other dogs kennels and torment them. They are great and full of energy.

Brenda,

I was expecting a lot more, big let down! The puppy video would be good for new puppy owners but the second video was lacking information.

Markj, My pups will be touching down in about 45 min. I have my four socializers (my girls) ready to load up at any time. My last pup jumped out of the crate as soon as I opened the door. Belle is a bit different though. I would also like to thank Justin for the time, thought, and chance he took put...

Congrats Donnie! Thunder's looking good!

I love my dogs but there's no way they are going to eat better than my family!(Ha! Ha!) I know of many dogs that are show champions, Field Champions, Master Hunters, and everything else that are fed for under $20. There's some good feed out there at this price just to name a few is Exceed, Pride, Sp...

volraider

What kind of price are you paying for the Arkat?

volraider

I keep hearing about fish oil tablets for a dogs coat. Can anyone tell me about the name of the tablet and what's the cost.

Thanks,
Brian

volraider

Dennis, Tryout the Exceed from Sam's it has better ingredients than either of those 2 plus it's cheaper. I swapped Ace over from Diamond Performance, which I liked real well except for the stools not being as tight as they should. The Exceed cured that problem plus there was a lot less of it. I thin...

Tell them you will expose them one every website you can find and if that doesn't work you will send your lawyer.

volraider

I just posted the same thing over on another board. I'm game and live in Kingsport.

volraider

I don't know if everyone will agree but If I were you I WOULD NOT teach your pup to sit until you have him broke on his birds. By teaching a dog to sit you end up with a dog that sits out of confusion during training. Most all pro trainers will tell you the same thing don't teach sit to a pointing d...

volraider

Jason, the way you need to release the birds is buy tossing the bird and letting it fly where ever it wants too. By doing this you are getting rid of most of your scent so when the pup works the bird it's all bird and none of yours. Higgins knows what he's talking about and the west method is by far...

We are having a quail forever meeting in east Tn Feb.2 If anyone is interested you can email me at volraider@copper.net

I'm wanting to build a kennel at my home and was wondering how everyone built theirs. My plans so far are to build 4 or 5 runs with each run being 5 x 25 and I still debating on concrete or rock. What are the pro's and con's of the rock and concrete?

Thanks for the reply's in advance.

We are trying to find someplace to rent for a week in that area the 2nd week of Oct.

Rut email Brad at hig@vfr.net he's the one who made the Dvd. It's the most complete video I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. Plus it's the best method for me because I'm soft handed with a dog and have a hard time getting on a pup.

volraider

For the Gibbons-West dvd you can go to Higginsgundogs.com I can make sure if your are interested just pm me and I will get more info. This method is good with all dogs alpha's included plus soft dogs.

volraider

The best dvd on the market has to be the Gibbons-West training seminar. The dvd is 6 1/2 hours long and goes from introducing pups to birds to a completely steady dog. The dvd also shows you when your dog is ready to be introduced to the gun and a bunch of other stuff. The video is only availiable t...

This is a great topic with a great discussion. I have learned a lot from this topic and I enjoyed reading it, but I do have a question.

How come no one brings up Hillhaven Hustler or other Dual champion dogs?

volraider

your cousin needs to grow some %#$^ If your cousin put down a good dog with a lot of prey drive because his wife made him then he don't deserve a good dog. People shouldn't buy any animal unless they are fully aware of what that animals instincts are. Many good hunting dogs have been destroyed becau...

I would also like some info on Eastern Montana. We are trying to put a trip together for Richland, Roosevelt, or Sheridan countys.

volraider

We need more info on what you are planning on using your pup for. Here is a link for GSP breeders, stay away from show kennels even if they have a JH title they are still show dogs. Look for dogs that are MH or NAVHDA titles in their pedigrees if you are looking for a foot hunting dog and look for F...

What do you use to worm your dogs for heartworms? What do you use for other worms? At what age do you start worming your pups?
