ahh gee Mav- I figure to come down with a couple Britt's to help you find the birds you shoot- Feb 2011

Shadow

not the first time- you're real good at baiting- not liking response you get- doesn't fit your scheme of things-

so ezzy- I'm out ta here- bye

Shadow

oh yea Ezzy- I can tell you by me touching, lifting up their back end- ruffing them up- and they're still concentratiing on the bird is something most of you wouldn't know if you saw it- but then again- you folks train all year long to get yours steady to point so you and I head out, mine goes on po...

Shadow

that's pretty cool- might just take a drive down Mavericks way this fall- course she better darn well have a nice camp setup- and cook as well as she speaks- story telling you know- sure hope there's some of that spirit majic in a bottle type thing kind of hurts my feelings- my little Britt Shadow y...

Shadow

well said Karen- and in some cases such as NSTRA- a 4 wheeler coming screaming up right close to the dog on point- imo- steady dog on point- you should be able to walk up to- talk to- lift up- still on point- heck- nothing wrong with yelling- dog still locked up- good dog wonder if some are afraid t...

Shadow

hi Madonna- I'm guessing 7- 3 males 4 females- do I win a pize like the darn nice gift you got- she doesn't look like her belly is hanging real low to be alot of pups

btw- in my opinion- you'll get just the amount that you'll be happy about

Shadow

oh man- lets not talk about bees- I'm deathly allergic to them buggers

Shadow

yea tommy- still have a couple that come arround- but man- they've learned- now when the Britt's point them as they walk by they are alert- I go out- I can only get within 20 yards before they fly away- seems they are getting close to being wild got a bunch more eggs- my three pair are laying three ...

Shadow

well Ezzy- talk has been should you, why do you, is it good old school- we wanted ours to be staunch on point- other dogs would come in and crowd and bump- so- we'd touch and even lift the back end up- can make for an awfully staunch pointing dog the ones that don't like it- hunt yours with a couple...

Shadow

my point- imo- a staunch dog on point can be touched

Shadow

you've never done it with one of yours I can't explain it

Shadow

way to go! got a bunch more saw something today I've yet to see one of my pairs who I let loose- has been feeding where I leave feed but also pretty much walking and eating off the ground- seems they got close to a nest- hen quail came out and met them- little scuffle and some feathers flew- she wen...

Shadow

I like that first picture- reminds me of my HS best freinds lab- nice pictures

I too am curiouse of that speed burner you have there-

Shadow

didn't mean to jump you- even with Golden Retrievers way back we didn't mess with wings- pointing dog- if you've ever been afield for a day with a guy who has worked his on wings- to find and point- you know that not to many want to be afield with such a dog- all it does is hunt for and point bird f...

Shadow

Sprig- that is good- chuckling here

Shadow

Bigshooter- that is good- some shouldn't even be talking or going near a dog on point

could say- if you've raised 3 pups to be good pointing dogs you might know what you are doing-

I'm sure there are a few here who could lift their dogs up and set them back down- still on point

Shadow

good point quailrunner- think you'll be ok- don't postpone yours pups arrival- right as soon as you see him you'll know a bit more- and know if your pup is timid or just fine- expect anything- make some time to spend alone- maybe on the way back from the airport- stop someplace- you and pup spend so...

Shadow

Tommy- how are your quail eggs doing- embryoes developing

Shadow

I would think the hawks, owls, racoons, opposums, coyotes, foxes, and house cats would really key in on that- trick would be to get them to survive the first week think you'd have better luck rasing arround your house and then releasing pairs when adults- like in the spring when they pair up to mate...

Shadow

I like the way you put that Brenda- my two hunt together ok- one is real staunch on backing- one isn't quite there yet- so for me it was best to split them up and run each with an experienced adult- competition- yes- wanting to be ahead of the other pup on point yes- covering the field no- each ran ...

Shadow

chuckling here- you should have seen what it was like when I got the tennis ball- that bouncing ball had all three chasing- most every time my big male got it and would prance back with both pups trying for it but- a pup would get it sometimes- and boy- proud as all get out would bring it to me- if ...

Shadow

good point birddogger- had a fella that bought a well bred pup from a NSTRA trialer who invited me to bring mine out for a run with his- he told me he'd planted scented pheasant wings and wanted to show me how well his would find and point- I asked how long he'd been doing this- he said for a month ...

Shadow

sort of did the same thing with my 2 pups- both were used to 22 sounds- female was a bit timid- dove season came- I took the adults and sat 50 yards away- pups were excited- couple doves came in- I shot one- and looked to see both pups watching while the dove was being retrieved- So- with the 22 I t...

Shadow

to better explain my point of view- I don't obeience train, nor have I yard trained on these two- he's 1.8 years old, she's 5 months- I came up behind the pup liking that she was steady- ran my hand down her back speaking softly to encourage- then while watching her I moved to flush the bird- I didn...

Shadow

interesting- never have seen any reason not to walk up to one of mine on point and run my hand down their back- or even to kneel alongside them- specially young ones- course I talk to mine some also- did it a lot with these two pups when I got them into pheasants at 4 months- I like to think of it a...

Shadow

southern- I don't see any problem with your's not wanting to jump up- sometimes mine will sit- sometimes they will jump right up- and I've only had a SW and this Escape- find it kind of nice that they really want in but will hang back about jumping up- whine a bit maybe- but I find it quite ok to pi...

Shadow

sending you a pm

Shadow

Back in the 90's I had an aquaintence who had a DC brit that was reall fiesty off the line at trials. I have seen a few other male brits that were a little fiesty at trials but not many. really- and the registered name of that DC Britt was- find it hard to believe but if you'll be so kind as to giv...

Shadow

aw geese- a DC Britt lost- could it have been stolen- could you post a picture and we'll copy it and post it arround

Shadow

pet safe anti freeze- never heard of it- btw- I think it's recomended to put sand in those bases

Shadow

just like the old mustang Cobra and the new Mustang Cobra- they pretty well get the job done-

barkridge wrote: I know Strut did well as a Derby. He may have come earlier than most. As you know, the age of the dogs vary quite widely as derby campaigners. Around here we judge a dog AFTER their Derby campaign, not before. :wink: Is barkridge still around? Ch. Strut - All Age Dog of the Year......

Shadow

good point Wagon- how about one with a scrambler so in case you are hunting an area that has a few others using the tracker- you can scramble their signal- then just go hunt while they are chassing arround hollering for their dog or in the case- since maybe everyone will have one some day- you can s...

Shadow

carefull- some real smart kid might figure how to gather all that carefully marked good spots on your/ or everyones GPS and then offer the info for sale

Shadow

that's good- now see if you can keep them going till they hatch- be pretty neet if Texas pen raised can reproduce in Kansas and hatch in Oklahoma remember- you want to keep at least two hens and two males for your pets- so you need to make a pen- could even have them in your house- great fun when on...

Shadow

I envy you guys with a nice supply of wild birds. Nice pictures. it's not a good time to be out with bird dogs- I really don't do anything this time of year- but we did hit a cut old corn and milo field- why- because they aren't nesting there- tell you what- it'll make a good pointing look bad- jum...

Shadow

have you candled the eggs- got some more for you- keeping them in a cooler at 60 degrees- something about that article said to do so the embreos don't start till you want I'll bet those two pups sure enjoyed the time with the big dogs keep me informed- we can try another batch of eggs as I'll keep t...

Shadow

I waited for the first ones to come out- can't find any fault with mine and have 3 DC20's and 1 DC30- haven't had a bit of trouble- I'll keep mine- should the handheld ever fail- I'll buy another kind of have to chuckle- Garmin set the standard- lets see how cheap the ones that feel they can compete...

Shadow

whew Greg- went right over my head- I don't know much about all the mechanics of a fine trigger-

thought we were talking about bad triggers- I don't see bad triggers on my Browings, Beretta, or Rugers-

have a good day-

oh- having a blast reloading- thank you

Shadow

thanks- house dogs- my pals-

I have to be caefull when I open the gate- they're sort of still in hunting mode

Shadow

hey- looks familar- pictures are nice- I'm a wee bit partial to those little ones

nice looking setter

Shadow

we grew up in Northen Minnesota on a lake- we had Golden Retrievers- we didn't use whisles- they sure aren't a must- I'd say it depends on what kind of control you need- we started ours when the season started- sure we sat a decoy spread- but we also really enjoyed pot hole jumping- all that was req...

Shadow

two are a handfull I'll admit- still think you know what you are doing- if your two youngsters are anything like my little female it should be easy and pure joy rooster walked by while I was inside- so I snuck arround the corner trying to get a good picture- I'd like to feel these are willing to do ...

Shadow

I understand a hair trigger Greg-

Shadow

really Greg-
I have the Gold Medalian .338 Winchester Magnum Boss- it has two trigger settings- guess you'd have to try it out

Shadow

whew- you feel like your feathers have been pulled- seems we've been here before- where's didn't quite mean to ask for an opinion or to ridicule- I was laughing my lowly little Citori and AL2 feel bad- suppose you feel the Browing A Bolt has a bad trigger too I'm no expert nor have I tested and insp...

Shadow

I like a youngster learning from an adult also

Shadow

ahhhhhhhhh what can I say- kept these two out of my litter born in July- brother and sister- only thing I did was to let them grow up together- course all 4 of these get along, sleep together, eat together, travel together, play together, run together, hunt together- did find out I liked hunting the...

Shadow

well AZ- since you asked- quailrunner- I'd say you are seeing something in those two 11 week old females- you should continue- there's nothing quite like having a young pair that show they like being together- don't necessarily think you have to seperate them- keep them together you might just have ...
