We live in NE PA. We trial in NJ, NY, PA, CT, DE and MD....that keeps us in about a 4 hour radius of our home. Anything farther than that...or grounds we haven't been to before, we try to take some time off on Friday so we can travel and arrive in the daylight.

Ditto!

Wow! Those are great pics! So cool. In addition to being addicted to my bird dog I'm passionate about fighting. Love muay thai, boxing, mma you name it. If it's a combat sport I'm in. I've been doing martial arts since I was 4 and have been competing in the ring for about 5 years and hold 3 titles. ...

Any update on Boss's tooth?

Thanks for the update! I was wondering what was going on with this.

Hi Joe, I also live in Bucks County, PA. We go to NJ every weekend to train with Bob Corsaro. Depending on where we are training its anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half ride which isn't bad considering sometimes it takes much longer to go to NAVHDA training days ect. Bob works with various b...

No, Cleo didn't end up with any when she was over to play. But considering the size of your property and how it backs up to the woods ect I can totally see how you would have an issue with ticks. Your lucky you haven't gotten any on you. I think so far this season I have pulled at least 10 off of me.

What about trying a tick/bug spray in addition to what your doing now? You can buy them at Petsmart or on the internet. We usually put one on Cleo before she goes into the field and have been relatively successful. I usually end up with more ticks than her.

We've been training all over Jersey the last few weeks as well and I have pulled at least two or three ticks off of me and our GSP each week. I found one that bit me on the butt cheek this past Sunday! What the heck! I must have picked it up while hiding in the field and throwing a dead duck out to ...

For what it is worth I don't feel the JH is a waste of time. A professional handler or someone with years of experience may disagree but as new handlers I thought it was a great experience for us. It gave us additional opportunities to run our dog with lots of people in the field as well as another ...

When our female is in heat she tends to be a little off. You will notice it in little places for instance our girl Cleo doesn't eat as much, she seems much more needy, she doesn't run for quite as long, she breaks a little early, looses her patience much quicker than she would when she is not in hea...

We only have one GSP. She is 22 months old but has had free rein of the house since she was 14 months old. We have had zero issues with her destroying anything which I attribute to the fact she is exercised and stimulated everyday. We leave her toys to play with but I'm pretty sure all she does whil...

The Dog Examiner picked it up: http://www.examiner.com/dogs-in-nationa ... ide-kennel

Omg....thats awful. I passed the story along to the Dog News Examiner online and on facebook. They take stories like this and get the word out. It's just sickening.

Hey JessiNGunther,

Glad they worked out for you! Tell the boys they did a GREAT job! I'm super impressed!

I make most of my GSP's dog treats. I realize that not everyone has time for this but I find she loves them and besides I love to bake. I have made lots of different treats but I find sometimes that some of these recipes on the internet aren't proven and don't always come out. Anyhow here are some o...

This took me forever to find but I thought it was worth posting. I don't know if you will be able to read the article if you don't have a facebook account. Basically its a nightmare story about someone who lent their beloved GSP to friend to take out west to hunt. When I first read it I was horrifie...

PM sent!

Hi John,

Schulhaus Kennel produces beautiful GSP's. My GSP Cleo shares some bloodlines with those pups. You won't be disapointed!

I live in Pennsylvania and we had gotten wind about this from the place we get our pigeons from. Even just a couple of months ago when we would go pick up pigeons for training, people would be pulling in with box trucks and taking them 1,000 at a time. I assuming for shoots. But now we have to put o...

It's been in the high 90's here in Pennsylvania with awful humidity. So we take our GSP to different ponds, she gets homemade frosty paws, we set up a doggie pool for her and she goes nuts to get squirted with the hose. Here's some of her beat the heat summer fun: http://gsphuntingdog.blogspot.com/s...

Hi Swagg, We got our start because when we purchased our pup our breeder required us to run them in a NAVHDA Natural Ability Test. In hindsight it was a blessing in disguise because it forced us to have to train our pup. As beginners we weren't really sure where to start so this gave us an inital go...

Hi Ruth, Not sure if this is helpful or not but a few weeks back we worked on some of these things with our training group and I took pictures and video taped some parts of it. At least it will give you a visual of what we did. Good luck on your training this weekend! http://gsphuntingdog.blogspot.c...

I've been following your thread and I have to say the poor pics of your pup just break my heart. I give you alot of props for making sure she has been treated even though it has been so expensive. Your a good dog owner.

She's beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

Hello! Not sure where you are in and around Philly but Nockamixon State Park (near Perkasie in Bucks County) isn't a bad place to try. It's a state game lands and we hunted our GSP there this past fall and we take her there to run her from time to time. If you click on the link you'll see some pics ...

Hello,

We ran into some snakes this past weekend during training. Can anyone on here suggest someone in Eastern Pennsylvania/New Jersey area that snake breaks? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Rich! Yay!! Hope to see you on Sunday! I'll be there both Saturday and Sunday....I'm bringing over 50 pigeons with me. Lol. Trust me if you asked everyone else there they would share a hundred stories of those pups harrassing the wifeys. It seems to be the thing to do. Boss is a great pup! He'll...

Our GSP kept getting yeast infections in her feet last summer and our vet prescribed us Mal-A-Ket wipes manufactured by DermaPet Inc. We would wipe between her toes top and bottom twice a day and it would clear it right up. Once it was under control the thing that eventually stopped the infections f...

Hi Jesse, Not sure if this is helpful since so many people above gave good advice but we had a similiar issue with our female GSP when she was between the ages of 7 and 10 months. Cleo really started testing the waters with me (the wifey) eventhough I have never had a problem correcting her and have...

We have a 19 month old GSP female who has gone into heat twice. She is a wonderful hunting dog but is also a loved member of the family. Crating her for an entire month is not an option for us. She weighs approx 52 pounds so what we do is purchase little boys size 6-8 camo boxer brief underwear, I c...

Great Pictures! Thank you for sharing!

Hi, Not sure if I'm doing this right....I just signed up. I tried to comment on this earlier but it wouldn't show up. But we are in Bucks county too (Quakertown) not sure where you are but we get our pigeons from Powderbourne gun club. They are located 10 minutes outside of Q-town in East Greenville...

Hello! I just joined GDF today. My boyfriend and I own an amazing German Shorthaired Pointer named Cleo. She is the love of our life. She is 19 months old and is training for her NAVHDA UT Test this fall as well as her AKC Master Hunting Title. She recieved a perfect score and Prize 1 in her NAVHDA ...
