Looking for some good references on breeders for a good field bred Springer. I would like to get a Tri-color male-Or just one great of a hunting dog-want both parents to be hunters. Looking to get one in a year time frame. Tri-color would just be a plus.....

Thanks for the help!!!

Didn't you ask this yesterday? The Mod-angels must have whisked it away. I know of a breeder who has a tri-colored puppy - not sure if it's male or female, though.

SandCreek Springers is where I picked up Maynard, and he's doing great. They do lots of field trials and hunting.

Jimmy - how's your Springer doing? You must have it back from up north?

Maynard is doing great - I think he's going to have a great first year in the field, although he's used to running in short sprints for training, so he tends to go ALL OUT. I'm sure he will figure out to pace himself. Or it will be short hunts!!

My springer is doing really well. I am really excited to get her out in the field. I will be taking her out for the duck opener. So I have been doing alot of water work with her lately, doing multiple retrieves and so on. She has really turned the corner since she got back from training. I don't think I have ever seen a dog that is so excited to see the e-collar come out, she can't wait to put it on. I am glad to hear yours is doing really well.

Tmvikings I know if your looking for a field bread springer. There are a few really good kennels around. I purchased mine from pineshadows up in brainerd. Usually there is a little wait for a springer up there. They have a HSOforum you can look up. I know MinnesotaMongo also got his from a pretty good breeder, I can't remember the name. They would be worth checking into also. I think that if you are looking for a field bread tri colored you are really going to have to do some homework. If I were you I would spend the extra money and get one from one of those kennels. You really know what you are getting. I know Pine Shadows has a one year guarantee on there puppies. If you are not happy with your dog after a year from the purchase you can return it for another, or refund.

Sandcreek is good, Pine shadows. I went to a place called Cedar Knoll. They are more of a hobby type breeder, but their dogs have great pedigrees. My dog is 2yo now and he is a great hunter and a great family dog. After I sent him to Whings and Whistles in St. Boni, he's been a fantastic hunter. He also goes bonkers when he sees the e-collar.

There is another breeder in the St. CLoud area that I met at game fair that I'm looking at for my second dog. I think the name was Goriecki. I'll let you know if I find the info. They are also a hobby type breeder. Great pedigrees, good temperment and raised by good people.

Is that Katie Goriecki? I see she's running a couple dogs in the Heartland trial in a couple weeks. Nice gal - I trained a couple times with her.

I know that Sandcreek has some puppies - and a tri-color. There are a lot of FC coming out of those lines - and a fun group of people to train with, to boot.

Here's mine out of Sandcreek ready to rock last winter...

My youngest is out of Tom Miller/Springers Forever which has pups for sale on this site under the puppies for sale area. She is really turning things on this year. He has some close to ready to go I believe and some more on the way.

Sorry to toot my horn, but I just had my 15 month old Springer Maynard out tonight - and man, is he a great dog. Those Sandcreek dogs do have a lot of hunt and drive in them.

Sounds like you have a great number of options though - they all sound great. Good luck.

You know, I just trained last night with a man named Jason who has a reallly nice 9 month old neutered male for sale - and I saw him train the dog - looks really nice. He even found and retrieved a coot - ALIVE (I don't know where he found him out in the grass, but he brought him up). Very nice looking black and white started dog. contact me at monte.meyer AT gmail DOT com, if you are interested - I can point you in the direction.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
