Denise, that was a great idea!! Wish I would've thought something like that......maybe next time.

Nebraska

What a great lookin' pup!! Now the fun begins.....

Nebraska

That's some tough news.

Dogs are resilient as heck and he's in good hands now......

Nebraska

Hey Nebraska, hows the coop going? Mine is going up for sale if you are interested in it. It's going well - just slow. My wife said if I don't get it out of the garage ASAP, I'm going to be LIVING in it!! I'll give you a ring so we can hopefully hook up this weekend. If you have any more birds, I'l...

I'm just about ready to add pigeons to the coop I'm building and was wonding how they would fair over the winter. Do they breed successfully all year long or just when it's warm out? If they're not going to breed successfully, I'll probably just keep a small quantity of wild birds off and on so I do...

Nebraska

If you end up with the Hickox video and want to watch some others as well, just let me know and maybe we could do a temporary swap. I'd love to watch the Hickox video but I have zero $$ to spend on fun stuff right now. I have the Perfect Start/Finish series along with Smith Puppy Development I and I...

Nebraska

Sent you a PM.....

Nebraska

No beeper....just the plain collar. Must do that because of the muscle structure on each side of her neck. I was just worried that she'd end up with a bruised wind pipe after a good run but if it's pretty common I'm good to go....thanks!

Nebraska

When I put the e-collar on my 7mo pup it ends up sitting to one side of her neck instead of directly below here throat. The collar is on nice and snug so I can't understand why it would do that. I would think this would put undue pressure on her wind pipe when she's running due to the weight. Is thi...

I was poking around the net and stumbled across a sight that did dog food analysis and they made it sound like Diamond, PMI, etc. are ultra low-grade products. Hopefully not because I can't afford to feed my dogs Prime Rib!! I have a 7 mo that's high-energy and an old GSP that's on the heavy-side no...

Nebraska

If Diamond is good stuff, I might just have to give it a try. I found a smokin' deal when I looked online at Kraft Discount Center of all places (Omaha). If I can find it cheaper somewhere else, I'll let you know but here's a link to their pet food page.... http://www.ifounditinomaha.com/home.php?ca...

Man is that one cute pup!! I even forgive you for having to look at a pic of your foot....

Nebraska

We've fed our pets Science Diet for over 20 years but when I picked up a 40 lb. bag of puppy food the other day it was $48!!!! That's $1.20/lb... :roll: I want my dogs to be healthy and want to feed my GSPs good quality food but that's just insane.

So.....what are you guys feeding your dogs?

Agreed......those pics are definitely works of art IMO.....

Nebraska

This may sound stupid but would any of them also handle WHINING? My GSP has started the habit of whining when she hears me come home at night and it wakes up my wife. We put her out before bed so it's not an issue of NEEDING to get outside, and I'm fine with letting her out, but I just don't want he...

Nebraska

I'm looking at these as well but I've never heard the recommendation to match the weight of the dog to a particular collar. What collar would be good for a 50-60 lb. dog??

Nebraska

http://www.gundogforum.com/index.php?page=gdfarticle19 Great article!! My pup's been mouthing and jumping alot and I was really getting frustrated and starting to loose my cool with it this week and inadvetently playing into her paws :roll: (hence the search on this topic). I want to do a better jo...

Nebraska

FWIW - he had a message on his VM Sunday that he was going to be out of the office on Monday. Sometimes we just can't be two places at once...... :roll:

Nebraska

I was going to go with a wire or open rubber floor but putting this coop in our backyard is a big enough stretch as it is (for the wife :roll: ), without having all the pigeon goop underneath so hopefully it works out ok with the solid floor. One idea I had today is to cut out a really big door each...

Nebraska

She may not be the best, but she mine, and my work of art... and I couldnt be prouder.... I'm sure everyone out there know how it feels to kill that first bird over there new bestfriend. I know exactly what you mean..... :D The best dog I think I'll ever own was given to me by a local breeder and y...

Nebraska

I'm building my first coop (very similar to the pic below) and wanted to ask a few questions before I get too far..... http://www.uplandbirddog.com/training/loft_1.jpg Q1 - What would be the optimal size for nesting boxes in a coop this size? The back of my coop is 48" wide and ~44" tall in back so ...

Here's a pic of MillerClemsonHD's coop.....

Nebraska

How about posting the pics??

Nebraska

Sure makes the Cabela's prices a little easier to swallow.......

Nebraska

Wow!! Thanks for the pics/clips......those are amazing!!

Nebraska

If you have the room and $$, those redrose lofts look great. I decided to start small and am going with one like this:

Nebraska

My best days in the field have been with my Rem 870 SPS-T with a 21" barrel. I would've scoffed at that years ago but I've found that shorter barrels work very well for me. BTW - I'm right handed and left-eye dominant so I do a lot more "snap" shooting than smooth follow throughs.....

Nebraska

Holy smokes!! He's not messin' around.....

Nebraska

When it comes to launchers, there's definitely no touching these price-wise. Many are getting launchers that work great right out of the box and others may have a kink or two to work out on this 1st production run before they're 100%. If you have to work through kinks and are willing/able to do so, ...

I don't have a welder. What 4 foot stake??

Nebraska

Where do you pick up a good stake out or set to use for a chain gang? I've seen a few but they always look kind of cheap and the last thing I want to do is have my dog break loose when I'm not paying attention.....

Nebraska

Those pics were from http://www.siegelpigeons.com (from 12 Volt Man)

Nebraska

BTW - I think Greg's birds have it better than I do!!! Shoot.....all they'd need is a 52" plasma screen and they'd be all set....

Nebraska

For the food you just need something to put it in. How come you're not covering the food/grit? I was thinking about ordering something like these..... 1 1/2 gal for water - http://www.siegelpigeons.com/catimages/Drinkers-Blue-Bullet.jpg 2-liter for food and a 1-liter for grit http://www.siegelpigeo...

Nebraska

I'm planning on keeping 10-20 birds and would like some recommendations on a good feed and water set-up for my coop (the cleaner the better). Thanks!

Nebraska

I need to get a new collar for my GSP and have had good luck with Nylon collars but was kicking around getting a nice 1" leather collar with an O-ring on the back along with the regular D-ring next to the buckle. Has anyone had particularly good luck with a specific brand, design or material?? If so...

Nebraska

Can't think of many things better lookin' than the point on that pup!!! And even if I did, I wouldn't post 'em here....

Nebraska

My GSP, Roxy, is just about 6 months old and just had her first intro to birds this weekend. She's been chasing and pointing butterflies and houseflies and I knew she was long overdue but I just haven't had any luck locating birds to use. Luckily, I was able to hook up with MarkJ, from this board, a...

Nebraska

I think my GSP might be suffering from GWP-envy......

Nebraska

I have a 5mo GSP and was wondering at what age would you recommend "snakeproofing" your dog?? Thanks...

Nebraska

Thanks Scott.....hang in there and make sure to tell the wife and kids we appreciate them too!!

Nebraska

That nose in the air is a real work of art!!! You're a lucky guy.....

Nebraska

OK, so, everything is ready to ship just waiting the circuit boards. The boards were not coming up right. So, I had to do some troubleshooting for them. So, happens it was the settings in the software that programs the board. So, the bad news is it cost me a week (that's killing me) the good news i...

Nebraska

Thought this was fitting......

Anyone else have a fun one??

Nebraska

I used to talk to my dog all the time when she was first building her confidence in the field. That way she always knew I was right there and thus, she didn't have to keep coming back to "check in". After she started actively working the fields, I shut up and just let her run. Another thing I always...

Nebraska

Those are some super looking dogs! I've heard lots of names in the past but thats the first time I recall hearing "Chiggar"......gotta love that!!

Nebraska

Great lookin' pointer ya got there!!!

I have two on order so why not stop by with a truckload of pigeons and we can try and wear 'em out to see how well Scott handles warranty issues.....

Nebraska

Great pics! That sunset on pg 4 woulda been worth the trip all by itself.....
