Plucky lil dog! Know the feeling of watching the coon push your dogs head under water. My 60lb DD has gone through that many times. Fall and winter can see 35lb plus coons up here. Bigger if near dumpsters. Have even had some so large and fat that my dog couldn't lift 'em off the ground to give a proper shake. This is a dog who jumped a 3-1/2' fence with a 32lb. ATB

@ Doddsy: Interesting view as my DD was pointing and retrieving Bobwhite Quail that I shot over him at 4-1/2 mos, pheas n mallards at 5-1/2 mos. On the way home from the breeder at 11 weeks old I ran him on Ruffed Grouse, Cottontail Rabbits and a Wild Turkey. Maybe I just got lucky, but I ran him on as much game as I could from day 1. Previously to that I had always rescued labs, usually 18 - 24 months old, and always struggled to get their prey drive up. Prey drive is not a problem with DD's!!! @ Rothbury Shooter: FWIW, I'd watch how you introduce him to game. Don't think you have a probl

Nice pics! Sized a bit small, but liked what I could see. ATB -Dux

Smallest dog that can do the job is the best, IMHO. Less food to shovel in one end and less to shovel on the other end as well. Smaller are quicker off the line, corner better and tend to get injured less. Taller tend to have more top end speed and cover ground more efficiently. (Look more elegant doing so as well. ) Sounds like yours is doin first rate, keep it up! ATB -Dux

Ummm, Cleveland is in Ohio. The girls are in Texas. In Cleveland you'd be about 22 hours of driving or 1,400 miles (2253 km) away from them, hardly convenient.

Some take 'em to market rather than kill 'em in the field.

Basically it's a pot that's built like a donut. Smoke and flame go up the middle, additional fuel goes down. The liquid is in a ring, kinda like a bundt cake pan or an angel food cake pan. http://duckduckgo.com/?q=kelly+kettle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Kettle http://www.ghillie-kettle.co.uk/ 2nd review is the Ghillie-Kettle: http://ronniesunshines.wordpress.com/ Hope that helps!

@Hullhunter: The photo is real. Sad story really as it was apparently a very gentle pet pig sold to a game farm and then dispatched rather poorly by the kid. http://www.google.com/search?q=hogzilla&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADBF_en http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/hogzilla.as http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/03/0322_050322_hogzilla.html

I feed my 60lb DD once daily 8cups of 30/20 dry (Native level 3) and put 1/2cup canola oil or Beef Lard on it during the height of the hunting season. Back it down gradually to 4-1/2cups and no additional fat during the off season.

Nice looking pups! ATB

Bravo!!!

My understanding (from Field Trial and Competitive Sled Dog people) is that a dog runs best on an empty stomach and that you want about 24hrs between it's last meal and the heavy work. To avoid Gastric Torsion aka 'bloat' (from Field Trialers and Vets), feed no later than two hours before work and no sooner than one hour after work. Never run a lurcher so I don't know if it's an apples to apples comparison. However my Bird Dogs have always run hard and well following the above rules. Pretty much every other person's Bird Dog I've seen run is spent in two hours or less. Mine go hard 5+h
