Hey Colebuck Beagles, how old is your HeliProp male? Do you have any pics of him that you could post? I've got small Bitch that's going to be 8 years in Sept. that sounds an awful lot like your H.P. male. She has been a solid performer for me as a gundog. Brains, good nose, good hunt and no quit! He...

Red Briar Kennels (Steve), You took the words right out of my mouth! After reading the "Dumb as a stump" statement earlier I thought about what I was going to post in reply, and many of the things you wrote were going to be included. I have fed Diamond for quite some time now, and my hounds have don...

Here is the most current e-mail I have received from Diamond Pet Foods regarding the safety of thier products. Received from John Kampeter, Diamond Pet Foods on Fri, Jan 13th 2006 "Robert, all the foods that are now out there are safe. The current recall has been caused by human error. To avoid this...

NYH,
Boy... Do I know what you mean! But I couldn't be happier with how things turned out. Some things are just meant to be!

Are any of your male pups looking like they might stay 13"?

Dang Hillbilly.... You still have 4 left and yoiu aint contacted me yet! Now that's not nice! Still looking for a nice female out of your stuff. ( hint )

goes1 A backyard breeder is NOT someone who breeds in their backyard. It, by definition, is a person or group that has dozens of dogs, all different breeds, that breed just for the income. Who's definition? I'll be the first to admit that when I hear the term "backyard breeder" I think "Bad", and so...

NYH, If I had to guess I'd say you have made $3.47 per pup before taxes..... and then NY State said you made too much and made you pay $35.20 per pup! :D How'd I do? I think the comparisons of responsible breeders to puppy mills etc. are correct, but the term "Backyard Breeder" has been deemed a bad...

I voiced my concerns from the get-go, and still say that some will use the idea for monetary gain over improving the breed. :( All in all it won't affect me much, I'm gonna get my hounds from people that put more emphasis on how they breed, over how much they make on pups! To all you "good" ole "bac...

Here in Central NY the Yotes are getting thick! Not uncommon to see more Coyote and Fox tracks than rabbit tracks. Never had them come in on my hounds while running in the wild, but I'm a member of a Beagle club and many times when running there at night we've had them come in and go ballistic just ...

Does anybody keep an eye on the Dewpoint? It seems to me, when the dewpoint #'s are close to the humidity #'s (within 10 either way) it's usually pretty good running.

Just checked the Barometric pressure here. It's 30.25 and dropping, and here I am at work!

It might help to know morw about dog in question. How old is the dog? Is this a recent occurrence or has the dog always done this? Is the dog in good shape and excersized/run regularly? You might want to have the dog checked for heartworm. It might just be a case of building up it's stamina with mor...

My five month old pup is really starting to turn it on! I got permission to rabbit hunt 126 acre farm yesterday with my hounds! My best little bitch scratched her cornea running last week :( , but the vet said yesterday that it is looking better! :D Go hug a loved one or hang out with your hounds an...

I agree with everything said so far. I found it helps when you let them contribute to the whole experience. Give him his own lead to carry over his shoulder. Let him lead the hound/s and turn them loose when your ready, and if they handle well let him hook them up when they come in. Give him his own...

Anybody from NY going to the trial in Claremont NH August 7-8? I need to get a pup from there to NY. Any help would be appreciated. Post or PM me with any info.

Thanks, Bob Graves
