    NDR Hungarian Partridge?

    Huns are very hard to raise, that being said there are areas that have wild bobwhite due to training and releasing of pen raised birds, so its possible I suppose. But to affect the population probably not, there are a lot of factors that are causing the down turn in huns out here. Best bet is...

    Already?!? 6 month old

    he is looking real good, Tim. That little "odd" behavior..... sign of a strong pointing dog. It looks like he is on track to me, just have fun with him this fall. Then training begins after hunting season.

    german shorthair pointers

    I am DD guy, but I am a Judge under JGHV so I have judged DK's(a "german" shorthair like a DD vs GWP) They are fine swimmers and retrievers, They don't tolerate the cold and in general don't have a "love" for the water like a DD. Just like any dog finding the right Kennel that hunts the same...

    Breeding Grounds?

    My area of South Central ND has had a good amount of rain the last few weeks. We however were fairly dry before that, and is possible like last year that we were dry as the ducks were coming through and they continued on northward. Up to the last few days its been cold and wet, so any nesting...

    Brandee's puppy pics

    Brandee whelped her litter just over a week ago, 5 boys and 4 girls. All are very active, persistent and most were big pups. Going through this my first time has been a little daunting but have a great network of people that have assisted me. Here are some shots from Sunday at 1 week old.

    Golden acrylics grey question

    black duck black(I believe the ratio is 1 part ultramarine blue and 2 parts burnt umber) and then mix in white to get desired grey. mars black will give you blueish grey, or cold grey. I will mix up big batches and store in empty paint jars.

    Vintage Large Bore Shotguns

    As usual very well done Tim. I don't think there is anyone this side of the pond as knowledgeable about the big bore guns as those two. On top of that Tom has been doing the ballistics research for 30+years and is considered one of the best in the country.
