Post by: Birdguy on March 04, 2009, 08:12:15 PM: There was supposed to be a picture of our new red lab pup. Waited almost a year for him. Guess I should have figured out how to post pictures before he got here :bash:. Hope I train better then I use the computer or I just bought a real expensive doorbell :chuckle:. I will keep trying.

you are trying to post the pic like it is a web link off a host site, but it is not so it won't work.

Post by: Birdguy on March 04, 2009, 08:46:49 PM: This is the kids meeting him right after school today. Looks pretty good for spending most of the day on an airplane. My hunting party is now complete. I must be crazy look at all the training in those pictures.....can't wait :IBCOOL:
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: Birdguy on March 04, 2009, 08:52:56 PM: Thanks guys. As for the name my son is named Brett and I call him a different name almost everytime I speak to him (nice names) I called him Bert, Bort,Bart and Bartimus a lot so he named the pup Bartimus Mudflap but we will call him Bart. I do not know where the Mudflap came in but I do not think there will be much of a problem with an original name on the registration.
Gasman he will see his first birds this weekend. He is the reason I have the birds now. Thought I would get him last summer so that is why I had the birds to sell you. This year he will see hundreds of birds even if they are all raised here ;).

So red lab that is new to me do you know how they get that color???

It is a variation of yellow. If you look it up on the AKC site they recognize 6 shades off yellow and "fox red" is one of them. And no silver is not a recognized color!

I am going to try to breed my female to a dog about that color!

Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on March 05, 2009, 09:41:07 AM: Yeah I knew they didn't recognize silver. They do exist. A member on here has one. And another member has a chocolate with the gene. If the AKC did recognize them I believe they would fall under the Chocolate phase if they did.

Post by: Happy Gilmore on March 05, 2009, 12:11:08 PM: Great looking pup!
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: benbo30 on March 05, 2009, 02:16:49 PM: silver is recognized but they fall under the chocolate catagory , you can have a akc registered silver dog but the papers will show chocolate , i believe they used to be recongnized as silver on akc papers but there was a huge controversy on it. at least this is what i read ..... im gonna be looking to get a silver in a few years once my labs are older , i have a yellow pup and a black lab ,

Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: luvtohnt on March 05, 2009, 02:49:41 PM: Is the silver color something new or what?Cause last time I looked it waasn't a recognized color.

Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: benbo30 on March 05, 2009, 04:36:19 PM: good looking pup i like the color , now all i have to do is get a chocolate , silver and a red one like yours
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: twisp_river_slayer on March 05, 2009, 04:41:36 PM: Thats a great looking dog!!!
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: Birdguy on March 05, 2009, 05:54:01 PM: Thanks, we got him out of Iowa. A good friend of mine has a few north of Spokane. I had to make sure he was from good pointing lines and not related to my friends dogs for future breeding. I love the personality and being bred as hunting dogs makes them a lot different then the pet quality ones I have always had and hunted. I assure you, there will be lots of pictures on her over the years, hopefully with a few of the other new pups that have showed up on the site over the last few months. Perhaps this fall we can have a dog meet as well a member meet. If we can find a place I can bring some birds for fun!
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: benbo30 on March 05, 2009, 07:39:58 PM: i would be happy to meet , ill bring both my dogs

Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: brewzer13 on March 07, 2009, 08:25:08 PM: Nice pup Dave, lets take him along turkey hunting next month. :hunter: :lol4:
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: Birdguy on March 07, 2009, 08:42:56 PM: Brewzer I am sure he would be up for going but it would have one of your grouse sized ones ones for him to retrieve it. If I get as lucky as I did last year there is no way he could even come close to draggin one of those monsters out to the woods :tung:. I am ready to go though, I need a few days in the woods.

:yeah: I've got the first of this years crop of pheasant in the brood house now, and chukar in the incubator. :chuckle:
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: Birdguy on May 02, 2009, 08:40:48 PM: Old Dog, I been pulling chicks from the incubator this week as well. The pheasants are laying good, but the huns and the quail not so much. My mountains are actually laying the best of my quail right now. Good luck with you hatches. How many chukar did you end up with? Perhaps I will get some eggs from you?
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: Old Dog on May 03, 2009, 12:18:11 AM: Chukar eggs? How many do you need? I'm getting about a dozen and a half a day right now, and my incubators are full.
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: Birdguy on December 26, 2009, 04:40:41 PM: Updated picture of the little fella, another year or so of puppy attitude then we get serious :chuckle:. Hope to get him his first wild birds this week. Wish us luck ;).
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: gasman on December 26, 2009, 05:35:10 PM: That pups looking good.........
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: DOUBLELUNG on December 26, 2009, 05:48:33 PM: Gorgeous! Not to thread jack, but in the color discussion ... I am guessing the white ones fall under yellow?
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: snakerivercharlie on December 27, 2009, 12:36:51 PM: That is the most amazing lab I have ever seen. That is a very intense color for a dog. I wanna know where you got him too :drool:
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: highclimber on December 27, 2009, 03:29:59 PM: Cool
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: Birdguy on December 29, 2009, 06:41:02 PM: Yes, the red is a color variation of the yellow (darkest yellow you will likely see). I got him out of Iowa, there is a great breeder in Chewelah (just south of Colville) that has a few. Look up "morgansredpointinglabs.com". Jim has some awesome females that hopefully I can breed mine with in another year or so.
He got his first real point yesterday :IBCOOL:, I thought it looked pretty good but I am biased. I would love to have a picture to post but the camera did not work in 12 degree weather :(.
Thanks for the comments guys, it is always cool to hear other folks like what you got to share.
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: TEX-X on December 29, 2009, 06:50:49 PM: he's a brute....
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: Birdguy on December 29, 2009, 07:05:19 PM: He was sure fun to watch blasting through the brush and weeds to last two days. He would BLOW through anything jumping up and down hill, while my gsp just slid through underneath it all, you could not tell she was even there sometimes. They make a pretty good pair. I just need him to get up more roosters :dunno:, have to work on that I guess.
Title: Re: He is finally here!
Post by: TEX-X on December 30, 2009, 07:14:40 AM: i took my newer GSP grouse hunting last weekend and we got in some pretty thick stuff.... everyonce in a while you would see his head pop up over the brush.... it was pretty funny... I've actually seen a dog of his color and build before... you get the color and the wider frame from crossing a chocolate lab and a sorrel quarter horse :chuckle: good luck getting him on the birds! keep us updated

That is funny :chuckle:. He will come around I am sure. It is late in the season and while we saw some roosters NONE were near close enough to shoot :bash:. I am thinking he will be just great for some new dumber ones early next fall. He will get his fair share of work over the next 9 months then, lookout.
