    sd trainers for pointing breeds?

    Aaron Gudahl at Sherburn Mn has worked with my Vizslas. Did a nice job. Just a couple hours east of Sioux Falls on I-90.

    Embattled California wildlife official

    Oh my. It is a different world today. Have you seen this news? "The embattled president of California's Fish and Game Commission pushed back at his critics Tuesday, telling them he did nothing wrong by killing a mountain lion on a big game hunt in Idaho. And he vowed not to resign."...

    Best Breed ?

    Check out the Vizsla. Good bird dogs. Healthy and sound. Mid-sized short-haired dogs. Great family dogs. A breed that still produces Dual-Champion dogs (Field Champions and Conformation Champions in the same package).

    Different Breeds

    Over the last 50 years I have had labs, an Irish Setter, English Springers, German Shorthairs, and now Vizslas. Hunt upland birds - no waterfowl. They all have been good. I enjoy my Vizslas for a number of reasons. Health, attitude, hunting ability, and they are great with the family.

    Farmland Values

    300 plus million people in the USA. The world population growing. People need to eat. And they aren't making any more land.

    Tebow time

    Isn't Tebow what we would all love for our sons and grandsons to grow up to be? He has made a fan out of me!

    Raising Chukars?

    Thanks for the info - couple more questions. When released - will they covey up? Do they flush as a group like Hungarians?

    Raising Chukars?

    Can anyone help me with info about raising Chukars for grassland - put and release and dog training ? How well do they fly or hold ? What (beside the price per chick) is the difference between Chukars and "French Chukars"? Thanks

    Hawk predation

    Redtails Hmmmm --- I have seen a Redtail Hawk dive and kill a roster pheasant. Pretty amazing. I'm wondering if their migration route has shifted. It seems as though I see more hawks in the fall than I did in the 70's and 80's. Anyone have any thoughts?

    midwest vizsla owners

    Well ---- Rebel Rouser lines have been kinda the Gold Standard for hunting pedigrees in the Vizsla breed for decades. Hank and Betty have produced, by my count, no less than 7 (seven) Dual Champions dogs. Add in all the other titles, Champions, Field Champions, and Hall of Fame Dogs from...

    Tired of paying $100 each time I want to hunt...HELP

    Just have to jump into the conversation - I was lucky enough to grow up in South Dakota on a working farm that kept pheasant hunters each fall (we still do). I will say this, jumping in a pickup and traveling to somewhere that has birds and hunting for a long weekend may be something you want...
