This past weekend I attended my first trial (we compete in hunt tests) and I'd thought I'd share some pics I took. It was a great event with a ton of super nice people.

I would def reach out to him. I did a ton of research and I kept coming back to him. He just has so much knowledge in this field he makes it effortless.

I just wanted to share with everyone my new logo! GDF member Greg Blair (PntrRookie) designed it for me over the last few weeks. I can't even begin to convey how great he has been to deal with. Anyone on here who owns a kennel, a hunt preserve, belongs to a club or a rescue that needs a logo or any ...

These are some pics I took from the last two weeks at training: Nobelles Scout http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h465/mmabyrdgirl/Dog%20Training/DSC_0325.jpg My girl Nobelles Cleopatra http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h465/mmabyrdgirl/Dog%20Training/DSC_0316.jpg Our friend Raf's Llewellyn - Cal...

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

I must be crazy....I use a leash, collar and my running shoes.

We log miles together!

I keep a blog on our hunting adventures with our GSP. Yesterday my boyfriend guided a hunt for a friends 13 year old son. The 7th grader has had some amazing hunting opportunities and I thought this would be a great place to share what he has gotten to do along with some impressive pics! Check it ou...

If this update was already posted I apologize. But here is an article discussing the vets findings: As a teaser, this is the beginning of the article: "The veterinarian who treated the hunting dog which was to be shipped from Reno to Texas is attributing his injuries to "hunting-related" rather than...

When I read about what happened to your friends GSP it broke my heart. I just feel terrible for him and his family. Bob Corsaro from Nobelle's Kennel in Ridgewood, NJ is breeding his dam this week. I know he is still accepting deposits on females. I can't say enough good things about Bob or the GSP ...

We get marrow bones and pig ears from the local butcher every couple of weeks for our girl. She used to get hooves but I can't stand the smell of them so she doesn't get those anymore. I make most of her dog treats at home. And she gets spoiled rotten with toys full of squeakers. The more the better...

Byrdgirl

Wow! What an amazing story. So glad to read it has a happy ending.

Byrdgirl

My GSP got rubbed raw in a neoprene vest this past summer. I cleaned her raw skin really well and put bagbalm on her and had her wear a t-shirt so she couldn't lick it off. It worked really well and she was good to go in a couple of days. Good luck.

Byrdgirl

LCS is awesome!! A few weeks ago they had their LCS day and it was great too. I don't know if you got to go but I was there and blogged a bit about it.

I haven't seen the show your talking about but I love to cook. LOVE IT. When I have spare time which isn't often, I've been known to cook my dog bada$$ meals. She loves it and I don't mind ever doing it. She's a good doggie.

I saw this on the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks Facebook Page and thought I would pass it along incase anyone on here know who the owner might be. "This beautiful German shorthair was found in a field in central SD with a tracking collar and orange collar, but no tags. The hunter who found him loo...

Byrdgirl

I'm a little late with this but I'd thought I'd throw in my suggestion. I have a nice vest from She Safari. You can buy women's upland clothes directly from their website or I believe Ugly Dog carries their brand as well. It's nice gear and it fits great. Looks like the vest is on sale right now too...

Byrdgirl

I just turned 30 a few weeks ago. My boyfriend and I got into upland hunting 2 years ago. It's so much fun and we have met the nicest people through it. I def see less young women in the sport but I know they are out there. About 6 months ago I met another gal (JMSGunner) in her 20's on here who has...

Byrdgirl

Yay Chloe!! Congrats!

Byrdgirl

I'm by no means a professional but I just saw something very similar on a friends dog and it ended up being a staph infection. It can be super itchy for the dog and is contagious so wash your hands. My advice is to take Cooper to the vet to be sure. If it is staph an antibiotic will clear it up.

Byrdgirl

I read about this earlier today on Murphy's Hunting Dog Blog and was surprised it showed up in the Dog News Examiner. It's a pretty tragic scenario.

Thought I would share.

We have an invisible fence from Pet Stop. It encloses about an acre and a half. I can't say enough good things about it. Our GSP has a very high prey drive and even if she is chasing a rabbit or a cat she won't cross the line. We can even let her out without her fence collar on and she will respect ...

Just think of all the whack jobs that would have never thought of this until they saw it on the internet.

Looks like you were right.....

Last February in Millville, NJ there was a case of someone putting poison in meatballs and scattering them in a place where dogs were frequently run. I live in Pennsylvania but it was blasted over all the major tri-state news networks here. Below is an article from March of 2011 discussing the case....

Congrats!!

Really great photograph. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Byrdgirl

Umm like the article said don't know the past. Sad yes but you don't know if the dog was well kept until it escaped from the chain gang and has been wondering around the woods for a while... just sayin. Your right. That could be a total possibility. But regardless how it happened its still pretty a...

I just came across this article. It really makes me sad.

Boss is going to do well! You spent plenty of time working with him and he has an amazing nose. When you get to Rock Tavern the judges will go over everything with you in the morning and don't be surprised if Bob has last minutes pointers for you. You guys will do great!

I just read this article titled, "Why you should put your pet in your will". It made me curious if anyone on here has done that or has specifc plans for their hunting buddy if god forbid something happened to you? Here's the article: http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/02/living/put-your-pet-in-will-mnn/inde...

I was just out in Arizona last week for 5 days for work. I felt like I stepped out of the airport into the ninth level of hades. Oh boy was it hot!!

Byrdgirl

Nice blog! I'll put a link for it on my blog. http://gsphuntingdog.blogspot.com/ Maybe it will get you some more traffic. I love reading what other people are up to....keep the posts coming!

Byrdgirl

Wow. I can totally see how the six week lay up is disappointing. But at least you got Remy around for a longtime and lots of other hunting seasons to come. I'm glad to hear he is going to be ok. Best of luck with his recovery. Thanks for the update.

Byrdgirl

Good luck at the vet today with Remy. Please give us an update after they see him.

Byrdgirl

That picture is hilarious. Hopefully the storm isn't too bad and just totally over hyped. My fingers are crossed since its going to effect where I live too and I'm stuck out of town in Arizona on business and can't get a sooner flight home. Boo.

Byrdgirl

Wow....thanks for sharing.

Byrdgirl

When our female is in heat I tend to use little boys boxer briefs and a pad in her shorts. I find they are less bulky and annoying to her than doggie diapers. I've blogged about it before and if you would like to see the pics of her shorts I use ect follow the link: http://gsphuntingdog.blogspot.com...

We have a few nicknames for our girl Cleo including: Cleopotamus, dog face, the spotted monstrosity, and sassy brat dog

I got nervous when my female GSP was 10 months old and she hadn't come into heat yet. I called the breeder....he knows his dogs better than anyone. He said his dogs tend to be late bloomers and not to worry. Cleo came into heat for the first time when she was 1 year old. Her one sister didn't come i...

We have an e-fence and I can't say enough good things about it. We purchased ours from Pet Stop and enclosed about an acre and a half with it. We have never had an issue getting replacement batteries ect. It only took a couple of weeks for our GSP to learn how to use it. Similar to what tnbndr share...

Yay!! Glad to hear Kona is on the up and up.

Thats Hilarious.

I'm with you Coveryrise64. I like the last pic the best too.

I'm gonna second contacting Bob Corsaro at Nobelles Kennel in Ridgewood, NJ. He not only produces amazing dogs but he is always available to help with training. We have a 22 month old GSP from one of his breedings and we couldn't be more pleased with her. If you want details regarding our pup and ou...

Ha ha! You caught me there....I do love myself some wine.
