Re: Coyote bite

If it looks like a scrape, he probably did it on the den. Clean it and put some triple antibiotic on it. Yep. Did that. Don't see any ripping, teeth marks, punctures...just a shallow layer of skin missing from the top of the nose. And I didn't hear the pup yelp. So probably not a bite. Don't know h...

Coyote bite

Was out running my EP pup (1 yr old) this afternoon and he started having way too much fun in the high grass 50 yards out. When I got to him I realized he'd found a coyote den and one of the babies which was a few yards outside the hole. Got my pup under control ...but not before he got a small bite...

Puppy's first point

This is my EP's first point at about four months old with the old wing on a string. He a little over ten months old now and away for a month of professional training. After having him for two weeks, the trainer says he has good prey instincts, a great temperament and, the words I really wanted to he...

Re: Basic puppy questions

I think a little more puppy proofing is definitely in order at home and I like the idea of sectioning off a room for the pup to be able to play safely in when I can't watch her every second. Right now she's in the kennel if I can't be watching her constantly. I do try to redirect her chewing when I...

Good book or video on quail hunting

Dropping my dog off Sunday for a month of training. I'm new to all this, so figure while he's getting trained, so should I. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good book/video to introduce a newbie upland bird hunter to the sport? Not something on training the dog, but on basics about hunting tec...

Re: House your dog inside or outside??

Mine is seven months old now and the best companion dog I've ever had. House trained by 10 weeks. My wife wasn't big on it at first either, but now she's so attached to him she's not happy that I'm sending him away for training in a few months.

Re: Ooops, Pointer pup ate dove

Thanks for the feedback, folks. Bottom line is that I need to keep better control of the training sessions...and fortunately my mistake hasn't done any major damage to a pup that is already a great companion and soon to be a fine hunter.

I've got a Pointer that's about 5 months old. Housetrained by 10 weeks. Has basic commands down (at least when he's not too distracted in the field). He's getting comfortable wearing boots in the field and showing no signs of being gunshy. Began with starter pistol, then 9mm handgun and, yesterday, ...
