    Black GSP

    I do have a black and white shorthair and a liver and white. They are littermates and by chance the black and white one is a lot better than the liver and white one. I agree one should not breed for color. Personally, in the yard I like the looks of the liver and white one better than the black...

    Protocol on splitting up the birds?

    I bet if you hunt with a group that eash hunter stops shooting when they get there limit has a lot less "arguments" with who shot the bird, would some people claim to "miss" more than they think?

    Protocol on splitting up the birds?

    I try to do the same, but there are many times if a group of say 4 or 5 are walking a grass field and the dog wants to go to the side trailing the bird the whole group does not follow, normally whoever's dog it is and maybe one other person. If it is what is suppose to be "normal" point and walk...

    Protocol on splitting up the birds?

    Hunting with others dogs I have noticed I am just as guilty as others with not following other peoples dogs when they want to follow something and it requires extra effort on my part and I should know better. With my dogs I will bust through anything to follow it if I think there is a slight...

    Protocol on splitting up the birds?

    I find that more often than not the guys who own the dogs typically end up with more birds, not matter how hard we set up the buddy without a dog. For me my dogs hunt in front of me a little more than the whole group and I know how to read my dog. There are many times I get a hunch he is...

    Optimum hunter to dog ratio

    I was just wondering what would you prefer as the proper hunter to dog ratio. For this discussion lets say we are hunting 2-4 hours a day so rotating dogs would not be neccessary. I think it would be pretty obvious the dogs would have to get along, stay under control etc. Does the type of dog...

    Pheasant hunting in IA

    Public Grounds I would not be afraid to hit public hunting grounds. I lived in Estherville for 7 years and did 90% of my hunting on public grounds. Last year out there I went out 15-20 times and only got skunked once. Most of the times I only hunted 2-3 hours. Dickinson and Emmet county have a...

    Killdeer

    I have 2 German Shorthairs that are 1 1/2 year old. We have a 2 acre yard that they get to excercise in daily. Normally they listen very well (A lot better for me than my wife though) Last week I was out of town and she took care of them and was frustrated because they ran across the highway...

I believe it is a good product and with anything if there is even rumer about something not correct they will go to...
