Life Flight Insurance is relatively inexpensive. I bought mine direct and it provides coverage in multiple states that I live and hunt in. It also covers my wife. My ACR PLB cost under $400 and has a 5 year battery life or about $80 bucks a year. Both make a lot of sense to me.

I have a couple breeders say to let the puppy pick you. I really worked for me. Did one of the puppies pick you? I have a female GSP that picked me. I was looking for a started male and after a few dogs, he put out a young 10 month old femaie to work. I was standing in the background watching the d...

I tried to buy that same dvd last year and never found it.

https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/why-dogs-eat-poop/ Relative to his diet, if you aren't a dog nutritionist, you really have no way of knowing if what you are feeding RAW is adequate or healthy. As an example, grain free foods/diets have been tied to heart issues. Personally, I would feed a n...

Nice looking pup. Nice looking water too. Perfect for your dogs.

I recently got a Final Rise Summit. I am planning on hunting some larger areas this fall and will be miles from the truck. I want to be able to carry more water/gear etc., comfortably. I could probably get by with what I already have but decided to add another vest for the fun of it.

PPP Sport Salmon & Rice 30/20. I float my dogs food daily with filtered water. I also add a few tbs of food topper that I make myself with beef, chicken, liver, sardines etc., Adds small nutritional value but encourages eating when they are tired and I use it to spike their morning water when huntin...

20220619_083938_remastered copy.jpg I thought I would follow up on my Vizsla pup we discussed with a picture. This is Goose. I got him at 8 weeks and he is now 6 months old. He worked on quail for the first time last week and loves to retrieve. He is just starting out but he's smart and eager to pl...

IMO if the pup has good genetics it is highly likely trhat it has all the "birdiness" you will need ...already in there. Most well bred bird dogs come out of the birth canal with more than we can harness. Most new bird dog owners have the same concerns you voiced, and think that a large part of it ...

A lot of people change feed during the off season. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to feed. Once it gets hot, I don't do a lot with my dogs anyway except take them swimming. I doubt you would notice a difference over the summer months if you change but you won't know until you try it. I ...

I learned that the quality of equipment can vary quite a bit between vets. I would go to a University vet school clinic that does ortho surgeries on a routine basis and normally has the equipment needed to properly diagnose these types of injuries.

Attached is a spreadsheet reflecting a recent water filter comparison off of a YT video(link provided). The water tested was from the Phoenix area I believe and the far left column reflects the chemicals found in that sample of water and various filters ability to remove them.

We have well water at our house in NW Arkansas and we are in KC monthly at our son's house, which is city water. So our dogs get both types on a regular basis.

I have an older Vizsla that has had a sensitive stomach. For the past few years, she frequently would delay eating in the morning and would have ongoing stomach issues. We have always blamed it on food and treats. Changed her to PPP Sensitive Skin and Stomach and that helped but she would still have...

My Jif Peanut Butter just got recalled. I had eaten half a jar before I found out, with no ill affects. Had to throw the opened an another unopened jar away. When they put Jif back on the shelf, I'll likely buy it again. I don't even know why I had to throw it out. I'm a Jif man but I am sure there ...

Correct. I misread it. FWIW, I found sort of a summary of issues Sunshine Mills has had the last few years and for informational purposes, I am posting below. Dated March 7, 2022, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to pet food manufacturer Sunshine Mills. This is the second Warning Sunshine Mills has r...

I have tried.a number of different brands over the years with varying results. Some dogs do well on different food and food formula's change. I fed PPP 30/20 Salmon and Rice. I normally add a food topper that I make at home with beef, sardines, chicken gizzards, liver etc., Make 4 to 6 qts. at a time.

As an FYI. Attached is a notice I got about a dog food recall. Sportsman's Pride seems like the most recognizable name listed.

I use Kennetrek boot wax on my leather boots. Just bought some Obenauf's and I am pretty sure they make the Kennetrek boot wax. I treat my boots after the season, over the summer, before the season and during the season as needed. I like to keep the leather well treated. My boots typically last seve...

I hunt by myself most of the time and have to move everything on my own, so I use individual kennels. Like Garrison said, more functional and easier to move. I hunt in Iowa most years and if I was looking for a dog box, I would look at Ainley dog boxes out of Iowa. They seem to make nice stuff.

What a great set up. My crock pot is not even remotely on par with that....lol. I use a crock pot that was left behind in a rental property we previously bought and the blender is one of those Ninja things that works surprising well. That said, my wife had surgery and chemo two years ago and my old...

I got a started GSP in 2020 that was small, skinny and physically immature and she wasn't a big eater. I switched her to PPP Sport Salmon and Rice because it has more calories than the Chicken PPP. I also make something my wife calls "mush" but is really just a food topper, to encourage eating and g...

Similar to the Flea and tick medicine comparison, attached is a comparison of Heartworm medicine. Same vet.

My vet is retiring and the new vet taking over the practice changed flea and tick medicine last year and switched my dogs to Nexgard. I don't have any problem with the change but my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to look at flea and tick medicine options and how they compare. I found a r...

I saw a reference to a WPG kennel on another forum so I thought I would provide a name. Bluestem Kennels in South Carolina. They used to be located in NE but have moved to SC, which might work to your benefit. They seem to be heavily involved in NAVHDA fwiw. https://bluestemkennels.com/about-our-dogs/

I think Filson redesigned their vest recently. Saw a picture the other day and it looked pretty nice but I didn't do any research or comparison.

Our vet thinks some dogs are pre-disposed to problems but she hasn't seen them with the dogs she cares for. We use them on our dogs and haven't had a problem. I wouldn't use them if we did obviously. I just got new ones for our dogs for the year. They really help keeping ticks and chiggers off our d...

Few snakes worse than the Mojave, maybe a coral snake but that's about it. Are you sure about that? Good news is, the Southern Pacific variants mentioned are only located in the areas we frequent to hunt, hike and camp. The ones found under dog beds and in the chicken coop, not sure about their ven...

Seeing that you are in PA, you could look at Friedelsheim GSP's in Maryland. You would be hard pressed to find better GSP's anywhere. Vanguard Vizsla's and Dynata Vizsla's are both in Ohio and both turn out quality dogs. Against the Wind Vizsla's in Kentucky produces some nice gun dogs too and he br...

I found a long handle #4 lb hammer I'm going to buy and try. Bigger than what I've been using and should get the job done with fewer hits.

Thanks for the feedback and information.

I am working on getting re-organized and going through my gear for summer training. Got my tie out stakes out and checked the cables etc., and couldn't find the hammer I previously used. I had a small Harbor Freight dead blow hammer which worked fine in soft soil but not sure it was the right tool f...

Outstanding pedigree. I had a Bullet daughter who passed two years ago and just brought home a Ruger grandson a few weeks ago.

I would have taken a pup out of that litter all day long.

Mosby

Thanks for the info. I'm using Mo Lindley's book for general training. It goes into finer detail on a lot of things, but he doesn't give a lot of info on natural retrieve so if his little tidbit doesn't work maybe I'll order Perfect Retrieve DVDs. Contact Jonesy at Jonesy's Gun Dogs. He has worked ...

Discussions about dog food and feeding hunting dogs prior to hunting is common and inevitably bloating is mentioned. Personally, I have never dealt with bloating and doubt I would have recognized the symptoms. I came across this reference guide on recognizing the symptoms of bloating and I found it ...

Great pics. Really like your dog. He is a handsome fella.

Wish I could help.. I had a female that went through a false pregnancy, got really sick and had to have an emergency hysterectomy. That fixed her and she was back to normal in a couple weeks. All I could think of would be to take her to your University Vet hospital or have your vet consult with them...

If anyone is looking to give an older dog a home, I know of a 9 year old Vizsla male that was recently surrendered and is currently in a foster home in KY. He is healthy and happy but needs a forever home. There are also some older Vizsla's available in KC. If anyone wants more information, let me k...

Mostly based on what a few people think looks good and very little on putting birds in the bag. The dogs that ...

I have noticed some HOF dogs came out of pretty non discript breedings. And every now and then a breeding will produce 2 or 3 outstanding FC's and another none. If there is a science or a formula to it, I am not smart enough to figure it out. I was talking to my wife about it and she reminded me tha...

I went back and looked at the pups pedigree fwiw. The pup I am getting has 6 SH and 5 JH titles on the sire side going back 4 gen with a number of dual AKC show champions. There is also a strong European line on the sire side with European titles I am not familiar with. The dam side has a large numb...

I tried the Inukshuk 32/32 but it seemed a bit hot for my dog. I have been mixing it in with the PPP Salmon to use it up. At some point, I may buy a bag of the Inukshuk 30/25 to try. Right now I can get it for $54 a bag. Don't have enough dogs for a pallet. I was looking at the NutriSource Performan...
