Sportdog TEK 1.0 track and train complete unit with 1 collar including a car charger and spare antenna. $285.00 Northwest Indiana

The GPS can help with knowing when to use the e collar. If the dog is well out of sight you can tell if he is responding when toned to come in. There have been times when I thought the dog wag ignoring me when called or toned but when I looked at the GPS I was able to see that he was actually coming...

This is my second season using the Tek 1.0 with no problems. Antennas can be replaced yourself. No maps just an arrow showing direction and distance to your dog which was all I needed along with the tone/vibration/shock modes and $300.00 less than the other unit. The collar is pretty good size so it...

If you have the Sportdog Tek then there is also a vibration mode on the collar. It can be used to get their attention if they did not respond to the tone and before using the shock function.

The bible is very clear on the issue and although he wasn't very articulate he was correct. The gay lobby has managed to twist the logic around such that anyone who doesn't completely support their behavior as normal is either mentally ill "homophobia" or evil and intolerant. In other words they hav...

I use the Sportdog Tek. It has worked fine for me over several months and many trips to the field. No issues with antenna breakage and they have taken a pretty good beating through heavy cover. The Tek unit is about $300.00 less money than the Garmin unit but doesn't have the maps as stated. Still i...

Where in Indiana are you located?

I live in NW Indiana and would be very interested. There are several F&W areas in the northwest part of the state but I don't know how well they would work out for field trials. Buying or leasing ground along with fencing and all of the facilities required for a club would require a lot of cash. Cou...

Hunted bear in Idaho a couple of years ago and was told that they were losing packs of bear and lion hounds the same way to wolves that were reintroduced there. Very sorry for your loss.

If you can let her get up close to a live rabbit in a cage where she can see the movement but not get to the rabbit, the movement along with the scent should get her going.

Have the same size issue with Sportdog collar. As stated earlier closed cell foam pipe insulation can be attached to the collars at appropriate locations. I use electrical ty wraps to hold it in place and have never had it come loose. I also painted the added pipe insulation with fluorescent orange ...

Sounds like an opportunity to help get a young man started in the right direction as well as the pups.

The preventic collar has been working well on my pup. Also if you get a bite that starts looking bad see a doctor. If it's Lyme they can put you on antibiotics and head off the disease. Thanks for posting the info. The tics have been about the worst I have ever seen here in NW Indiana this year.

Valpo Guy what sort of trials does Western Beagle Club run? As I said in my original post I am not knowledgeable about field trials and have only rabbit hunted over beagles in the past. What sort of trials would a line bred Branko dog normally run in? I would expect that anyone involved with a club ...
