Götz in South Dakota

feeds@yuku.com (Poorfarm) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:28:59 GMT

I'll share an email I sent to the breeder, Lynn Whitely. (Yes, I am bragging)
Sorry for the extra-large photo.

Lynne,

Long story short, Götz carried the load in South Dakota on his first trip out there. We had some Labs, a springer, a Golden, and
my older GWP (who's an excellent pheasant dog), but Götz had everyone talking.

Here's a picture after one push...

any good on pheasants?

feeds@yuku.com (atrane) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:32:39 GMT

I don't own a drahthaar, but I've been thinking about getting one. I pheasant hunt in Iowa mostly. I've heard guys say that wild pheasants will ruin a good pointing dog, any truth to that? How does a drahthaar work wild pheasants (NOT planted birds)? What is their style like? Any good for the foot hunter or do they run like an English pointer? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Garmin Astro 220 + DC30 collar

feeds@yuku.com (eire) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:45:32 GMT

Just a quick note on my experience with this unit. Thus far after 3 weeks I have been extremely happy with the $600.00 purchase of this gps system. I've had it out in training and hunting conditions without fail thus far.
Some background: Previously I hunted with a lab so going to a Big running DD is an entirely different comfort level with range. Last fall when hunting in ND, I had a tendancy to call my dog when out of air shot with the bell, large tracts of dense cover, or...

von Willebrand's testing

What a nose- Gamin GPS tracking units

feeds@yuku.com (Steelkiller) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 04:11:35 GMT

I been working Franky trying to get ready for the Armbruster. I bought a Garmin GPS two dog tracking unit to use in training. Its a great way to mark drags and blood trails, you can even save the tracks for later study. Lots of good reason to have one.

I took Franky out for his first duck drag,and my first session with the Garmin. I lay-ed the drag using the tracker unit, I put Franky on the drag and was able to compare Franky's work to how the drag was lay-ed. What a great...

Dove hunting

I was always to big of a chicken to take my drahthaar dove hunting so close to the tests, so now that he's through VGP i took my 3 yr. old on his first dove hunt. The kids had a great time too.

Too much HZP Training

feeds@yuku.com (hoosb) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 19:57:24 GMT

The HZP is coming up in the next few weeks. My question is can you spend too much time training? All was good until this weekend and several things started to go wrong.
1. He came right back after a blind retrieve and then suddenly stopped at the bank and started chewing on the bumper. A couple of corrections and all was good again.
2. Cat Walking in on birds.
3. Just in general acting like a knot head.
This close to the HZP should I hold down a little bit and give him...

Vocal DD

feeds@yuku.com (rommel74) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:08:06 GMT

I have a 2year old DD that has been mostly used for upland work, but plan to use a little for waterfowl this year. The problem that I have had with him before is he can get vocal when birds fly close. I use the "quite" command followed by correction (via e-collar), but the problem still exists. He is a very high drive dog with lots of GO, but stuggles in hunting situations requiring him to sit still for long periods. I think he needs more waterfowl experience, but it get pretty...

I have a model 150 tri-tronic release system. 2 release traps, 2 receivers, transmitter, 3 activator plugs, manual and charger. I just got the works back from Collar Clinic 2 days ago with new batteries and everything was checked out by them. There is a 6 month warrantee on their service. I don't use a release system so I'm selling it. I asked CC what a unit like this would be sold at and they said $275 plus shipping.

Problem with "Holding"

feeds@yuku.com (BrahmsvomEntenmoor) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:07:12 GMT

My 3 year old DD has started to "chew" on objects on his way back from a retrieve. He has always rolled things a bit, but as I started training for the NAVHDA Utility and shooting a lot of pigeons for him, he starting chewing on them out of nowhere. It got to the point where he was chewing up nearly every one he was sent for on his way back with the bird. I notice he only did this intensely on pigeons--the ducks and pheasants he would just sort of roll. Now even when retrieving...

vWD/Genetic Testing

feeds@yuku.com (Cal) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:43:30 GMT

Anyone considering using Pawsitive ID or InGen for vWD testing should look elsewhere for reliable results. Two DD's that are known vWD carriers from previous testing had blood drawn and sent to Pawsitive ID in a test case. Both dogs came back 'clear' of any genetic disorders. If you have any reason to test for vWD, DO NOT rely on this company's results to be clear. It could set your breeding program back years. Cal

2 Year olds paw pads sloughing off

feeds@yuku.com (fliesitdies) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 05:13:08 GMT

My DD looks as if it is shedding its pads on her paws on 3 of her feet. She is not licking or chewing at them either. She is not even limping. What I have read so far is salt can cause this or running on hot concrete too long. I have not ran her on concrete but she was at the beach. Has anybody else experienced this problem or know more about it? Thanks

BTR

feeds@yuku.com (BrahmsvomEntenmoor) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 06:17:25 GMT

I found an old posting for BTR training, but it didn't help me much. Can I train for the btr just by using a sand-weighted fox skin? Or, must I use a dead fox? Will my dog treat them differently, likely? Any other training tips for this would be helpful.
Thanks,

Snake Avoidance Training in Texas

feeds@yuku.com (Stinkbelly) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 05:28:34 GMT

I want to remind everyone that hunts around snakes to get your dog snake trained. I had Izzy trained when she was 6 months old and then I forgot when she was 18 months old and that season she went after a rattlesnake. After that, I contacted a snake trainer and scheduled him to come out to my house to perform snake avoidance training.

On August 1 he will be performing a snake avoidance class at my place on the east side of Weatherford. It is about 15 minutes from the rabbit...
