As I mentioned earlier Treborwolf was had some of the best upland wires get on the website and read some of bob West's breeding philosophy. They are over in Idaho. I talked to Bob back when I trained a couple for NAVDA. He really new what he was talking about. My do was a pup from a stud from...

Sounds like you've made up your mind. They are an amazing breed. Yes, they are quirky. Yes, they like fur. I've owned most breeds. Setters and Britts, etc. they have a certain expression when they look at you. It's more of a I love you look. But Wires have certain look in their eyes. Actually...

You can train them off fur, but it's always risky with the shock collar. You give a dog to much juice; you might ruin it. Some dogs can handle it some can't. It can also take a long time. A smart dog might think that just because he gets shocked when he's after a coon doesn't mean he can't have...

My experience is that the longer the GSPs have been in states the less emphasis most breeders put on fur aggression. And the closer the bloodline is to Germany the more likely. GWPs also but even if the breeder doesn't breed for it, you're more apt to get a throwback that will have the fur gene...

I saw a good meme yesterday. It was a Geaney with a turban looking quizzical at someone sitting with their 3 dogs from their childhood. Made me puddle up.

Absolutely and I'll go one step farther and say that it's not out of the question to have a little too much of that fur focus! You may think that's cool until it kills the neighbor's little girl's cat in front of her eyes. Don't ask me how I know.

Not sure if Treborwolf is still in business or not. They do still have a web sight. You may be all wet, but you are correct in my opinion. I once trained to a pretty high degree. My dogs were impressive. But when you release them to hunt it's mostly genetics.. Don't get me wrong, there must be...

Theres an older thread on here somewhere. Theres several owners on here. Ghost Point is a really good breeder local to me. Has a great youtube channel. Eric Forrester, I think. The best bird dog I've ever owned though was a Treborwolf dog. Be careful. The breed is getting so popular I'm betting...

Looks pretty good but I prefer Imp. Cyl. just in case it's 25 +yards.

Not while hunting but, a few years ago I was fishing a big pond from the bank. There was a place where water entered the pond from a spring up hill. It was grown up with willows and briars, so I had never fished there. I could cast to it but for some reason I decided to fight my way through it...

I didn't know what you were talking about till I googled it, no wander she had an alleged affair.

Sorry man, it's always tough.

Richard Flaherty, Audi Murphy. My dad served with Murphy in the 3rd army. Sometimes I think the short guys need to prove something. One of the best quail hunters I ever met was about 5'5''. He could keep up and outshoot anyone.

Isn't that crazy. I was 5'9.5 170lbs most of my life. Now I'm 5'8 190lbs. :cry:

Well, I'm 5'8. I feel pretty short when with my grandsons, 6' 3 and 6'5. My dad was 5'7 and 140. He was a hell of a man.
