Please read this before purchasing a bird dog from a Kennel. I bought a bird dog named Suzie in Kansas. This has been the worst experience i have ever had in purchasing a bird dog. We watched the dog work and listened to what they had to say about the dog. We liked so we bought her. We get her home, and she is completely not even close to what we thought she was. This dog has never been hunted/trained in tall grass, never seen a hedge row, and acts like she has never seen a wild bird, only pin raised birds that have to be thrown up. We notified the owners immediately with our concern and was instructed to give the dog some time to adjust to the change, which we agreed to do. The dog never came around and in fact hasn't improved at all. We were instructed to give her 30 days and see how she reacted, then never heard back from the kennel. I have just recently contacted them to see if there is anything that could be done, it has been 2 months since I have heard anything. Their response was nothing could be done, but they are sorry we are disappointed in the bird dog. IMAGINE THAT!! This dog is not worth what we gave for her, not even close. If you are considering buying from these people please contact me and come and see the product we got when we arrived home. I will buy some birds and take you on a hunt with her. If this is the type of dogs that this kennel sells I want everyone to see before wasting their money like we have. I will guarantee that they will not receive another dime of our business!! I AM IN NO WAY TELLING YOU NOT TO BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE, ONLY TO VIEW THE PRODUCT WE WERE SOLD BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION. Please contact me with all questions and concerns, donnie.isaacs@gmail.com. Thanks!

When I was a kid, my stepdad used to raise and train bird dogs and he would never sell one to anyone that had not had the chance to observe the dog in a 'field trial', or at least spend a Saturday or Sunday morning working with the dog.....he was also watching the buyer as much as the buyer was evaluating the dog..

Back in the 50s these field trials used to be held almost every week somewhere in the state and if there were a serious buyer, we would load up a couple of dogs that the potential buyer was interested in by breed and meet the buyer at the trial and then they could see the animal in action as well as make a comparison with the other dogs of the same breed.

While the birds were 'cage' birds, they were released in the field the morning before the trials started and it was up to the dogs to find them and then the real judging would start.

I would be hard pressed to buy any bird dog from a kennel when their primary function was just breeding. Buying from an individual I knew, if only by very high reputuation, would be iffy as well...
 
Privatepilot you have bitched about this on 4 different sites and I think the whole problem is YOU. you have not embellished on why you think the kennel owes you anything!And you have not responded to ANY of the posts on any site since you posted! So PISS off and train your dadgum dog!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

Sooo enlighten us gracious one. What the hell is wrong with the dog that cant be fixed? What did the kennel do that made you so mad? You said YOU watched the dog work at the kennel, so what happened when you got home? Did the dog all of a sudden become retarded? Did you do any work with the dog or just throw it in the kennel until you got around to huntin it which is what my guess is. And now your pissed cuz the dog isnt marking and running like a field trial champion. Sooooo?????
 
duckndawg - Why don't you meet me somewhere!! You can see the dog work for one and two we will ee if you want to be a smart [beeep] in person! I bet you won't!!

First of all I do not do field trials. This dog has been hunted every weekend since we have had her, and sometimes through the week when the schedule allows it. I am going to speak ith a trainer today and make arrangements for the dog to spend a month with them. Then we will see where to go!
 
No I'm a smart arse in person also!!! Go back to 24hourcampfire and read the post idahochukar2 put up and answer the questions I'm interested in the answers
 
Lets keep this thread in good taste and treat each other with a little respect guys...

Lets keep things that happen on other boards on those boards...

This thread is about someone who is upset about his new dog, maybe someone can give him some tips to help him get this dog hunting to his standards? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
