I had Aussies before these goldens, and you REALLY have to focus on wearing them out, both mentally and physically. There was a park next to our house that had some equipment that was basically like...

That is the same Amy Dahl, and I really liked that article, too. I loved the anecdote about the golden that stood on its hind legs on the stop whistle to take a cast!

Well, you were right ... She did GREAT picking up the birds. Didn't quite figure out she needed to find the birds to flush, but if a bird got up, she marked it and made some great retrieves. The...

I soooooooo want to see this happen.

Someone floated the idea of a TCU-Alabama game to open next year at Jerry-world. That would be a great opening, too.

TCU travels well, all things considered. With only 8,000 students and 71k TOTAL living alumns, it's tough to compare with the big boys. But, we do alright.

Fiesta Bowl tickets have been...

I'm heading out tomorrow to the Oklahoma panhandle to chase some pheasants. My 14 mo Belle has done well on dove and ducks so far, but these will be the biggest birds she's seen yet (the only ducks...

I believe those are Avery vests. Trying to decide right now between those and the Cabela's ones.

Wow, that was an interesting lunchtim read. Thanks! It also helps explain why I'm not hearing these stories down here. Apparently they ain't attacking people down here like they are in other areas.

Thanks for all the great advice, everyone!

Sounds like a plan to me!

Not a club member. My wife has a class on the meeting nights, so I don't get to make those. Kids' sports have had me miss the training days that I've known about, but...

I was actually wondering about this with the Cowboy Magic. Will the Cowboy Magic and/or Show Sheen stay in the coat after going in the water?

'zactly.

All I know is that I got to go see College Game Day AND talk dog training and hunting with people there. Then, I got to go to a super-charged Amon G. Carter stadium to watch my Frogs go...

Yeah, I caught that article, too. His logic is fundamentally flawed, though. UT's being good for a really long time and TCU's up and coming status doesn't say anything about the possibility of this...

Hmmm ... seems to me Pam would be cheaper, and I wouldn't get my hands all greasy before going and handling a loaded gun. I think I'll try that one out. Thanks, all!

Ain't that the truth. I've thought about poodles being used in Germany as a retriever. They must not have anything like them burs in Germany!

That was part of my plan, too. The worst spots were her tail, the feathering on her legs, and up in her "armpits". I'm afraid that most of those spots are still going to be exposed.

I found what looks like will be a nice spot for duck hunting at a reservoir near my parents' place. We went out last weekend and Belle got covered in those big nasty cockleburs. Took about an hour...

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M LATE TO THIS THREAD!!!


Posts like this make me giggle. Who has TCU played? TCU has wins over 3 teams currently ranked in the BCS top 25. UT has played 1. Oh ... and that...

Thanks for the help. Does the bleeding go the whole cycle? Or will that slow, too?

Here we are, 3 days from my first duck hunt with my first retriever ... and the little goof goes into heat! I've heard all the horror stories you guys had about bitches in heat at competitions. Is...

What kind of battery life should I expect out of my Tri-Tronics Pro 90 EXP receiver? I bought it new from Collar Clinic about 7 mos ago. The last two times I've used it, I put a full charge on it...

Well, I wanted to thank those of you that talked me off the ledge on this. Some time had freed up here recently, and I was able to do some work introducing her to gunfire. She's still scared of...

Thanks for the replies. In response to how we respond ... as best as we can, we are as stoic and matter of factly as possible. There is no coddling, but it's very possible that she feels the...

... and my 10 mo golden is now a complete chicken. I don't know if it was me or the kids, or what ... but my dog has lost complete confidence in her world, except retrieving. If I pick something up...

Watching it on DVR now ... great work, Thor looks like a joy to work with.
