    AKC Brits out of Hall of Fame Stock

    Completely agree.

    AKC Brits out of Hall of Fame Stock

    He did, the "Hall of Fame Stock" was too far back to show up on the litter registration.

    Any Professional trainers?

    While I'm the first to tip, if she is working for herself, I don't think it's necessary. Pay in cash (if possible) and call it a day.

    Best rural eats

    While I wouldn't go the extreme of comparing them to Taco Bell, I'd agree about the Mexican food in Kansas. Seriously. There are like three in Manhattan, two in Wamego, McPherson, Emporia, etc etc... All the same food, all the same damn menus! It's insane!

    Best rural eats

    What a great thread idea! Merridys in Russell was tough to beat... I'm not sure if they are still open or not. There was a little place in Wilson that I remember going to soaked to the skin after hunting... I remember that the food was decent, but more importantly it was warm in there. My...

    Opening Weekend in Kansas

    This. One thing to remember is to put the concoction on before getting the dog wet. I made that mistake once and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. :)

    Beeper collar vs GPS

    It's funny you bring this situation up. I was hunting with a buddy - who at the time had a weim who really didn't range out. We were walking and discussing the Garmin and quite literally right after he said he didn't think he needed it, because his dog didn't run enough - his dog jumped a...

    Beeper collar vs GPS

    Munster has a great post - I use the older Garmin 320. It has no "training" capability, it's just strictly track. It still corresponds with the older Garmin collars, and is able to correspond with the T5 and T5 Mini. Since it's older, you may be able to find it cheaper. It doesn't have the...

    Beeper collar vs GPS

    You bring up a good point about calling to the dogs. One of these forums, a member had posted that hunting had turned into a 'video game' with dependence on electronics and looking at a screen with a bunch of beeps. Which, oddly is ironic given the noise beeper collars make and people...

    Dew claws?

    I've always been a "remove the dew claw" guy, but the last two pointers I bought still had them. As I watch them stretch and flex them, it gives me pause to think that they should automatically be removed. I haven't had issues with them tearing them either. Tails, sure. No issues with the...

    Beeper collar vs GPS

    I can't think of a single reason why I (or anyone for that matter) would want a beeper collar over a GPS (other than cost, I suppose) but in my opinion a GPS collar is worth every cent. Frankly, the piece of mind in knowing where the dog is well worth the money. I always feel bad for the dogs...

    Kennel ideas (Would you have freestanding Kennel or attach to shop?)

    A friend of mine from rescue sent me this. I really like the concept, and hopefully someday I'll get the scratch together to build something like this. We live on 4 acres, so it should be feasible. I'd love to have them outside during the day while at work and bring them inside when I get...

    Kennel ideas (Would you have freestanding Kennel or attach to shop?)

    "if you're a PETA person that sleeps with your dog and sets a place at the dinner table please reserve judgement and I'll withhold mine on yours" Lol. What if you aren't a PETA person but does sleep in bed with a dog? I guess I haven't lived enough or explored enough. One of the nicer...

    Best way to plant pen raised quail for hunting?

    Hmmm. I've never tried this, but like the idea. Especially when working dogs that just want to ground track you. Do you find that they stay relatively close to the area you planted them in? I'd imagine that they would be pretty spooky too.

    How long do you hunt your dogs?

    I have multiple dogs and hunt fairly extensively. I rotate the dogs constantly, not only to keep them fresh but to watch them do what they do best. Each dog has different strengths and weaknesses and I try to match that with where I'm hunting and how I'm hunting. Especially if hunting over...

    Rest easy my friend, a tribute to Wyatt

    We are thinking now of a setter, whose coat was flame in the sunshine and who, so far as we are aware, never entertained a mean or unworthy thought. This setter is buried beneath a cherry tree, under four feet of garden loam, and at its proper season the cherry tree strews petals on the green...

    What do you feed your Hunting Dog

    Agree. There's a bazillion dog food threads I'm sure if you search. I took my old guy in to the vet a couple of days ago. He had some symptoms that scare me and so I ran him in. He's ok, but the vet listened to his heart and said basically he has arrhythmia. He's 13, there's not much we can...

    When to start field walks

    Yup! Something as simple and subtle as just changing direction.

    When to start field walks

    This ^^^ Don't see anything wrong with taking short field walks at this point in the game. Just fun and short.
