Thanks for your reply! Please tell me more about the breedings that you went with, and also about your started dog. I read everywhere about field trial washouts or culls that don't make a field-trailer's string at around 9 -18 months. Who would you call if looking for a suitable started dog, and who might you avoid? Tons of dogs on gundog central, but I don't know who to trust and who is just trying to move a dog.

Thanks so much for the reply - I'm considering going the started dog route as well, mainly to ensure that the dog already has a solid(ish) retrieve. It seems too dicey to go with a pup in these breed even if there are retrieving parents IMHO. Did you go with a field trial washout? Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply. I have a couple of guys set up to hunt with me next week, but after that my plans are open. I will try and hunt through mid-December depending on when our next Grandchild is born. I will keep you advised. So, tell me a little more about you and the Ruger. Thanks again !

Hi. My wife and I will be in Goodland Kansas starting about November 20 and staying until we give up - probably a month. We have two labs. Wife is also a photographer that likes to hunt with me (she doesn't hunt). We wouldn't mind driving up to Phillips County if you want to set something up. My nephew is a veterinarian in Sterling, lives in Fleming.

Good luck guys, be safe and post updates. I'll be up next week in the north west!

I will join you in December, if that's ok. My little yellow lab has hunted many hours with other pointing breeds, usually GSP's.
Where do you usually stay/ motel/ etc. Like I said, I would enjoy a meet/hunt whenever available.

Just a thought, I certainly do not want to butt in.

Love those dogs you have. Hunt em often, if you can!!

The seep stream at Kanopolis reservoir (west of Salina) has trout and is surrounded by pheasant country.

appreciate the great job you've always done here

Where did you get you pups from? I'm just doing research about where to get a dog. We just had a new born and we are a WAYS away from getting a another dog, but I love to research to feel really comfortable with my purchase.

Pretty dogs. Are their tails bobbed?

responding to your request for info on SD: there is a big public area - a former ranch - just south of Martin. it's probably very busy opening week, but it is BIG with lots of natural and added habitat. Keep in mind that SD has a resident only start date for pheasant season and a "traditional" starting date for all.

Ive owned property at Chamberlain since 2000, Move to Garretson SD in October from NW Iowa. Glad to help if I can. I love being a resident.

if youre into the outdoors, and clean living, SDis the place to be.



If I can help, or answer any questions, feel free to reach out.

How is it living outside Pierre? Do you recommend it?

Hey Ken, been missing you on the forum. Hope life isn't getting too complicated.

Take care. Someday, I'd like to talk with you.

Love your dogs!
I am looking at getting a Vizla. Any suggestions where to start?

Is this Steve that lives in Kingwood Texas?
