thanks purecountry
you are right about folks not spending not spending time training their dogs
they just expect them to do what they ask of them
i have not been spending any time training the past year and it shows
but i use mine most everyday so they stay pretty sharp but i don't have many...
thankyou sicem reds
it is nice to have a set of dogs that will work togather
and around here they have to be able to make hand on their own before they get to work with a group on big bunches
until later

thank ya'll
yes my dogs do back each other up up in a fight with a tough cow
and most of them are tough as this country is full of predators and they are range cows that don't get handled very much
bmr
yes i put tri tronics collars on them i don't use them much but when i say stop i mean now...
hey ya'll i have been busy and have not spent much time here on ranchers but here i am

there's a fella that puts on trials and some clinics in ohio
his name is john lavelle
i don't know him but he seems to know what he is doing from what i have been told
there is a forum i post on some it's
miklescowdogs.net
if you go and check that out i bet you can find someone out that way...
that stud looks like he would do
and babies are look nice as well
a neighbor of ours in colorado had a son of shining spark and i rode some of those colts and they were all nice colts
very atheletic and cowy
and plenty stout enough to handle the big jobs
good luck

i have ridden some hard twist horses
and i didn't find them to be very broncy
but i believe they are no differnt from say the hankocks they got a bad rap for being broncy back before most guys in the southern part of cow country could even spell horsemanship
the old guy's that i grew up...
yes fh
i have been taught to ride both sides of my horses but i have to admit after a long day i tand to ride the right side and it is a habbit i have a hard time with
in the fall and winter it is real easy to tell as the hair on that side of my horses gets rubbed short from my spur rowel
but...
jl
yep thats his name
i didn't give it to him my boss did
i geuss when he first got him the older horses ran him into the corral fence and he had a knot on his head that looked like a speed bump so the name just stuck

i got to thinking about wht i posted this morning and what i posted was completly selfish and centered on me
if what you post touches just one person and gets them to thinking about christ and they are saved because of it then it don't matter what the rest of think about your posts...
thanks leanin h

until later
