After all my birds got stolen last year I am thinking about moving my coop about 200 yds further to the back of the property. I have 2 birds that are free flying right now. Will the move to the back cause any issues with these two birds?

I've found that the people that love dogs are usually good people. People that are on this board for a year and a couple hundred post aren't here to rip someone off.

brad27

What about only positive feedback allowed then? That way if there was no feedback then it would be buyer beware... I think the people that regularly post here are good people. I wouldn't hesitate buying some thing from them. But when a person lists something for sale and its there first or second p...

Usually can be attributed to boredom when in the kennel or yard. Food seems to have little to nothing to do with it.

I disagree with you based on personal experience.

brad27

What food are you feeding?

The op's question? It's simply the local club making accommodations for the continental breeds, which are the bulk of their entries. It's really that simple.

Local setter club?

I find no disrespect in commenting on another member of our team that gave his life protecting the others. If you do then don't read it

Same here. It is a lot harder for clubs to shoot first bird on course though. Out here about %50 of the trials are call backs, the other %50 are first bird on course.

brad27

Why not make the Limited event a retrieving stake and leave the other events non-retrieving?

Because it would limit the chances for breeds that need retrieving points to finish their FC.

brad27

Maybe someone on the forum would let you borrow Evan's DVDs?

brad27

Nice looking pup. Have fun with him.

Serious question, or are you just trollin?

brad27

My point through all of this is that what we are spending so much time on here at the fringe.....its the boy racer generation.....Formula 1 of the dog world....that is far removed from 99.99999% of today's hunters. We have already heard how the "top jockeys" regard the rest of us and our nags....he...

Mine was actually a quote from Chris's Commanding officer so I'll stand by mine. It was actually Chris's team members who called the Commander and said "you need to get down here and see what Chris is doing"! Even his own team recognized what was going on. Special Operation Forces work independentl...

The folks who pin those stereotypes on Pitt Bulls are nothing but blatantly ignorant.

Or they live in an area where the stereotype fits................

On the quail try to flush, and shoot a blank when the bird goes up. Here in California you can't run dogs on birds out of season. OP, if you run your dog where there are wild birds, don't bring the blank pistol. Pretty hard to convince a DFG officer you weren't allowing your dog to pursue game with...

I hadn't heard of Chris before this happened. I bought his book last night. I'm a couple chapters in and am enjoying it so far.

I've seen dogs that have lost eyes because of cats..........

Forgive my ignorance, was this a wild or planted bird trial?

brad27

Unless your running banks hard hard during the hunting/trial season I would say 30/20 may be a bit overkill....At anyrate I would suggest what ever brand you choose, try and find a large breed puppy/adult feed for Banks. Now some folks on here will scoff at that, and so be it, but that would be my ...

Now if any of you guys could ship me a case of piney the elder I pay+shipping+ finders fee.

I might be able to help you.

Saddle wrote:The limited stakes I've seen the dogs had no placements is that right? I don't want to speak out of turn because I don't know.

To run in limited stakes you need a derby win or a placement in a broke stake.

brad27

Looks like I lost my sig too Ted.

brad27

I was bored so I decided to look up finished GSP's and how they got their title(s). Some got them with only adult placements, some with puppy/derby points also. The ones that had P/D points still would have finished anyway. ( I looked at about 15 dogs that had P/D points. ) I could have looked for m...

there's none in Cali,

Also, he usually barks and howls when i leave in the after noon after running, how do you think i can get him to stop? spend more time with him?

Bark collar, spend LESS time with him.

Simply by praying before class? Or would God be more involved in school? Aren't morals being taught in other ways such as the golden rule, which I would argue is essentially the equivalent to Christian teachings but without God. I guess I'm curious as to how one would use God in schools to teach mo...

Why you guys arguing about religieon, Diane Finestien, and five other senators are trying to put through the biggest gun ban in our history. They're taking it a lot farther, then what was first thought. If you guys dont think our second amendment rights are not in jeopardy, then guys are mistaken. ...

Maybe he had just a little experience and you didn't mention that you run English Pointers instead of German ones? He may have bee rolling his eyes while walking away. ? They aren't "English" they are Pointers . I think their standard breed name is "English" pointer. Unless akc has changed that.......

brad27

I think the only people that should care where a spin got its FC are the owners of spins and people that want one. I'll never own a spin. Nothing personal. Just not my type of dog. I'll never own a britt either. If I never will own these breeds why should I be concerned with how they do things?

Don't feed the birds for a day. Put feed out in the area you plant birds before you train. Plant bird near food. Birds should walk around eating feed. I've never tried this, but I think it might work.

Dogs look to please themselves. We just channel that and use it for ourselves.

That said i've never seen a reason to teach a pointing dog sit or formal heel. It's a control thing and i don't feel the need. After all they know Whoa, if i want them
to stand still, why would i need them to sit?

How many of you think that a Hunters Safety certificate or an educational gun course should be required to buy a firearm? On Thursday Garrison and I headed to the local training ground to run some dogs. He got there a half hour before I did and had a story for me when I arrived. When he got there s...

Most of those steps are too vague to draw any conclusion.

They stop growing at about 2. She has plenty of time. Mine is 2.5 and is 40lbs. At 7 months she weighed 34lbs.

That is messed up. Some sportsman you are. I don't care what it is, no animal deserves to be torchered like that. Sick. Any less sporting to shoot animals out of trees? What about baying dogs? Lurchers? What about animals that wouldn't have lost their lives if the dog you were running didn't find t...

Yep, only Friday though. Money is tight. Should be able to scout some for Warren.
