How about two people that want a top FT pro to train and run opens with a nice dog but don't have the means to solely afford said pro?

That field brings back memories, love it out west.

Surprised no one mention Alex Abraham's Tucker. Most of his pups are young but the two I kept out of two diff litter(same bitch) are amazing. Mine and one other out of the first litter ran a combined...

My pup that just turned 1 last week was exactly like you described. Big difference between freaking in the water and being frantic and can't get there fast enough. Mine finally smoothed out during...

I'm 45 min from charlotte. Plenty of places. Stay away from parks. Go to public ramps. I can tell you a few on Norman. Ramp across from Marshall steam plant is a good one. Short paddle to the other...

Great thread so far. Don't you think how well(or not so well) a dog was conditioned to pressure plays some part? To much to early can make a dog erratic when faced with a problem because all he/she...

I'm liking your posts Steve. Could you explain the difference in the last two?

Cool stories Mr Dave

The east is full of rivers and lakes. I can go 15 min in any direction and get in water.....not tech water but boatable water. I don't think boatable is a word but you get it.

Steve I think you can also add vs correction. Like a lot of answers in dog training "it depends" . You have to be able to determine "read" each dog and why or what it is doing at the time. I did 2...

I like the Solvit as well. I think Chewy sells them also.

I have 2 Tucker pups out of my QAA dam and love them. Gonna breed her to him again (3rd time) this fall.

You just missed a trial a few miles from Wilmington last weekend. They run several at Rocky Point but are done for the spring. Contact the people Breck gave you plus add Ashley Kite as someone else...

Congratulations! Hope to be there some day

I'm running next weekend. I only entered my older dog in the open because it starts Friday. I have to leave for vacation to the Virgin Islands Sunday. I also entered a dog in the Qual. If for some...

I have a 45 that stays in the dog truck 24 7. Does the job

Who makes the best ones now days?

FC/AFC Tucked Away At Rivers Edge. I have bred to him twice and a pup from first litter just one the first derby he ran. Mine and one other I know of will be running soon. I believe one from another...

it reads "minimum distance for concealment" if nothing is within 10 or 15 yrds you might need to go further.

In the bird dog FT world there is a National Quail futurity held in NC and a Pheasant futurity that used to be held in Baldwinsville NY (Not sure where now) Dogs are nominated after breeding before...

I got you covered Steve lol My first Tucker pup was only 9 weeks old when I was at your place and now he is about to start running derby. Doesn't seem that long ago. Looking forward to getting back...

I have seen him compete, train and I have bred my QAA Emma to him twice. Both litters are very nice with several with FT pros and some from the first litter will be running derby soon. I will breed...

You don't want the foothill of the Blue ridge or Smokies for winter training unless you want very cold or hard water. I can see the BR mtns from my porch in Western NC and I'm looking to go south...

2 breeding's ago mine hit 5 and I got in the truck and drove 8 hrs figuring she would be ready the next day. No luck, sire tried a few times but just wasn't time. Next day same thing on the 4th day...

All good points but I think owners of the top studs would require all testing to be done. My last 3 breedings did (same stud twice)
