: If I know you, those two pups will be well
: on their way to being broke(with style) by
: the time trial season rolls around. Maybe
: do a puppy AND
: a derby stake? Hmmmm.
:
: You know we have to give these poor
: underpriveledged, undereducated East coast
: dogs every chance we can to run on our tight
: courses and find those throwndown birds
: since they only get to chase wild birds
: twice a year when the woodcock come through
: and don't get a chance to chase those
: amazing western wild birds on those expanses
: of virgin prairie.
:
: Have a great summer. Puppies are a blast.

: Yes Ray us western folks are lucky to live
: in this big old western country.Great place
: to develope bird dogs with style We also
: work on dogs to adjust there range to tight
: country.
: Got lucky and have a great friend Mike
: Mader which he lives in Montana, He
: suggested he would take my Rip pointer down
: to the Niomia Plantation to work with his
: string of dogs.Rip is two and is a big
: running poiner I thought new handler
: tighter type country? Wondered if he would
: adjust.Well he did and Mike had fun with him
: and Rip learned alot as they are loaded with
: wild birds. He also ran ran in Florida on
: another plantation.
: Out here the most birds we have found was
: 43 coveys in a days hunt.That was with two
: dogs on the ground and fresh dogs every
: hour. there was less than 3000 acres on this
: place.The norn on that place was probably 12
: . It is not that good now but we have birds
: for the dog that has no quit a great nose
: and knows how to handle and find them.Cant
: wate till hunten season.

: This has actually been a fairly informative
: thread if you discount all the leg hiking
: and BS. I have seen the products of the
: pro trainers I mentioned and when reminded,
: of a couple of others. Unfortunately, the
: scope of my knowledge in this area is
: somewhat limited, due to the parochial
: nature of my trialing.
:
: There have also been several pro trainers
: mentioned whose dogs I have never seen.
: That will certainly be something to look for
: in the future.
:
: One thing I can be pretty sure of, is that
: whenever I am braced with you, at least one
: of the dogs(yours) will be a pleasure to
: watch.
:
: See you in the fall.
