    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    Yes, these 2 dogs & handlers have hunted together. I like the summer sausage & cheese route. Wish I had filled one of my tags this year; could have had sausages with a more personal touch :/

    Young Bird Dog (hopefully)

    So the kids were finally at an age where they are mainly self sufficient (8 and 5). I had been researching and learning as much as I could about breeders and breeds. I talked the wife into a golden retriever from a hunting background. We were on the list for the first female from a litter that...

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    If your dog doesn't know that you want it to start tracking or following it's nose then you need to be clear/ build in a command for it. This can be just going to a hotspot for the scent and tapping on the spot while giving a verbal- ie go find it Vienna weenies are great for early training...

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    Never seen a dog that didn't have a nose a lot better than any of us do. Enhancing and bringing that out can be done in training, have to figure out what motivates the dog and make it a game. Be consistent with commands and they'll surprise you. I've used "find it" for everything from a...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    No worry about the last part, I wouldn’t know if the dogs are doing well or not. But yes, one accident can erase a whole day of fun in an instant, and cost far more than the bird will.

    Six Principles To Building A Great Dog

    I think this would be a fantastic book for anyone with their first dog. Advanced trainers might find this book too elemental because they learned these six principles years ago. I found this short book ($9 on Amazon) an easy read. There were not many specific examples, but the reader can think...

    Texas flood

    Hiring freezes and cutting government had nothing to do with a flood that wipes out folks. You government folks are not that important. You create no taxable income (I know you have your with holdings) but every natural disaster will happen without you government people. It has been...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    I can go with a semi-professional hit job. They did get some partial facial images, and that will be helpful tracking down the shooter.

    Horse owners

    Seen a lot of "horse people" who dont own ranches and such. I dont at all mean to sound condescending - but owning a horse is much harder than a dog. Its much harder to train - and typically the people training/riding also need plenty of training. The people who enjoy it typically own a...

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    To help puppy get use to the sounds of gun shots I take her to my local shooting range. Hold her in my arms and speak softly to her while allowing to listen to firearm reports. Not close early on. I stay back many yards, in the truck, letting her get use to the shot noises. A few trips to the...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Idiot used 3D printed gun - that explains 2 jams in 3/4 shots. Turns out a fan of the unabomber as a fellow revolutionary. A moron in my book.

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    No doubt shooter had training (see him calmly clear a jam), but our security guys say unlikely a true pro hit as a pro would not have done it in such a public place - a pro hit would have got him walking his dog or something. Would be shocked if related to a trading window mess - those happen...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    I wouldn't bother with the ranch dog. Between the pointer and lab in training you'll be fine hunting planted birds. I've taken clients to a few of those clubs and eventually end having to carry a pocket full of rocks to throw at the birds. Even when the dogs get on them, some of those birds are...

    New Pup

    Oh, one more thing...if/when you decide to use live birds for training, whether you plant birds or use launchers, it has been my experience that quail, although cheaper, are not great fliers which increases the chances your dog will catch the bird which will then in turn hinder steadiness and...

    New Pup

    I've read a few articles that pigeons are a good training bird. I'll take a look and see if any are available around here. I found some Chukar. The thing I'm really trying to nail down is fair expectations on timelines. When he should be doing this or that. Called the the guy I'm going to take...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    I am a horseback pointing field trialer. I have never had a large string of dogs. The overwhelming percentage of horseback trialers hunt little, if at all. The birds are worth more to them for training, than hunting. There was a time, when I was much younger, when I'd kill a hundred birds a...

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    Yep, that was my plan. I just can’t make sense of that first sentence in the post I quoted. That was the only question I had- just not sure what you meant by the citizenship thing.

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    Time for a quick update, now that Ellie has passed 12 weeks old, and we've had her just over 3 weeks. Still a few weeks away from her last round of rabies/parvo shots, and the vet suggested I not take her on walks where other dogs frequent until then. Not ideal, but I'd rather be safe than...

    Tips for Adding New (second) Pup to Home?

    Wife and kids talked me into adding a second dog to our house. Already have a well-behaved 3yr old female lab that's great. Hot tips or best practices for introducing a new puppy to the fold? Don't want to upset the apple cart. Wish JLS was still around...dude was a veritable treasure...
