Well we ran our first field trial a week or so ago. A lot of really nice and helpful people. We ran the amateur puppy and just sucked. We ended up with a bye so no bracemate and it the pups first experience with horses so he was kind of not himself. In the afternoon we ran the open derby and he...

Anyone still use them? I need a new collar and I saw that sportdog has a new beeper combo that looks pretty nice. Just wondering if anyone uses one and what the advantages are if any instead of or with a gps?

So the new EP pup just turned 4months and I took him to my nieces birthday party the other day. There were ballons everywhere and he started playing with one so I figured I would see what happens. Every dog I have every seen pop a balloon usually is done with them for the rest of their lives...

Took the pup out to meet his first birds this weekend. It went very well. He was not sure at first but was very interested. when the first bird flew off we let him chase it but we didn't realize there were 2 chukar not far from us. This was his reaction Solid point on his birds. I know he can...

Well I have been gone for quite a while. The last year has been very tough. Just finished going through a divorce and I lost both of my weimaraners in the process. Coloardo law is not exactly fair if you ask me. Anyway I am in the rebuilding process and the first step was new puppy. Meet Ryder...

I just picked up a garmin Astro and used it for the first time out this year and I was surprised at the distance the dogs are putting on. We only went out for 3 hours looking for grouse. I hiked 4 miles and 1500ft of elevation gain. My weim. 13 miles and 4500ft of elevation :eek: If you have an...

My breeder offered me a deal on a male Long Hair Weimaraner if I train him, title him and keep him intact for future breeding. I love the look of LH's with the full tail on point and I have always wanted one since they are rare in the US. I know the dog will hunt since the pup would be a half...

Just curious? We have our Junior title and will be going for our Senior Title next month. I have noticed that the majority of people I have met don't seem to be hunting focused. I met one trainer recently that said " it's time to get the dogs in shape from laying around all winter" I didn't...

anyone going? I went last year and was not that impressed. This year I am trying to decide if I should go or just head out to kansas to chase some birds.

I just wanted to say thanks to the people of Kansas. I have not been pheasant hunting that long but I sure do have a good time in Kansas and have never met nicer people. We also spent some time in your state Sprint Car racing this Summer and again the nicest people ever but man is it HOT. Being...

So I have a weim that is skinny. He weighs in at 63lbs and is taller then an average weim. about 29" to the withers. I seem to have tried everything to get some weight on him but no luck. It concerns me this time of year when we hunt. He never slows down in the field but after a couple days of...

Just curious how many hunters per truck you like. My group is growing and I just don't like being cramped with all the stuff in the back seat. Is it just me?

So my hunting buddy and I pretty much bet on everything. Golf, Trap/skeet, poker you name it. I have a pretty young weimaraner and he has a golden retreiver. We are always going back and forth about who has the better dog. So this year we talked about throwing down a little wager. Bird Pointed...

was training in the field today and noticed the end cap on the pistol grip portion of my stock had fallen out. :eek: I have a browning cynergy with the composite stock. The gun is right at a year old and I am not happy about the cap falling out but it shouldn't be that big of a deal right? I am...

So last week I had the dog out for some training with Chukars. The first 3 went great. Point, steady, shot and retrieved. The 4th he pointed and I walked in to flush but couldn't find the bird. I was starting to think wtf and then I turn around as he jumped in and snagged it. Calling that one my...
