Very Cool !

Could be mange I usually give my dog some salmon oil pills to boost their immunity.

I only bath my GSP's 2 or 3 times a year or when they get into skunks like they did last week.

Awe Crap The saddest news.....

Never an easy task to handle on your own. I find if you get the dog on his back things go much easier. Also you can make a bridle out of a drilled out 2" dowel and a chunk of rope. It stops the dog from chewing up your hand and reduces the chance of the quills getting further down the mouth.

Great shot. Did you take them out yourself?

I wonder if it is related to his 7:00pm feeding? I have always fed my dogs before I eat not after. It seem to settle them down so we can have a peaceful dinner. A video would go a long way to assessing the issue.

The only suggestion/alternative my vet gave me was to look at knee braces for dogs not so sure they would work in the bush.

Impressive!

I am in the same shoes and I decided to hold off and wait. My dog as stopped limping but you can see a small hing in his gate. The x-ray will show up any arthritis but not the minor tears. The closest CCL repair clinic is 3 1/2 hours away and cost will be north of $4,000 and that come into play with...

Merry Christmas to all

I lost an old GSP to a pair of coyotes at the trap club years ago. 2 GSP and 2 coyotes the younger dog could not defend the old dog. They sure made a mess of him in very short time.

Cicada

Is he fixed? 4year old is when they start to put on weight. If you are feeding him twice a day try changing over to just one evening feeding.
Bottom line he needs to be run every day but in your situation (2kids) that must be tough.

I have always used the pinch flank method keeps my fingers away from the those bitey parts. And just be sure to grab the right spot, males seem to take offense if you get it wrong :roll:

Great read with any luck I will be in his old boots next spring.

Welcome nice looking crew. But why is there a a cookie on the floor? is the Lab not feeling well

PS Maybe give us your location and we can support your small business.

I remembered a fellow Carlo Degan He bought a GSP in 1960 for $250 he bred that breed for decades some were winners some were not so much but a lot of birds ended up in the freezers of the local Italian gang. That was a lot of money in 1960...

Perhaps he does this to gather scent ? Speculation ?

That was my first thought. My male GSP does that on pheasants especially when he is winding them from a distance.

Nice! I never tried Morels but we have lots here where ever a forest fire has burned the year before. Pickers sell them for about $15/lb.

Enjoy the feast

Holy smokes!!! What a nice BIG tom! Can you get another license/bird? I wish they had open season on turkeys.

No tags in BC but we are only allowed one more bird in the Sept. Bow only Bearded only then Oct 1~15 any turkey. Getting a Tom in Sept with a bow is a challenge.

Was a great morning.
This one was in a flock of about 40 birds. With 5 big toms I had to wait 10 minutes for the one to step a side so I could get a clear shot at about 25 yards.

Well that sure sucks. Did you contact your breeder? I have always wonder if it can be corrected surgically or if wearing a brace would help.

Love a happy ending!

$1300!!! for sure shop around. I had 2 similar situation one a thorn that poked it way back out I just pulled it out myself. The other was a wire wound the we cleaned up and stitched up at the cabin, a year later a small piece of canola leaf came to the surface and worked itself free. No sure where ...

Cicada

Do you hunt him with another dog? My dogs almost always do a solid retrieve if there is another dog in the picture and that seems to carry over when we are alone.

FOUND!!! safe and sound!!!

May have escaped from the box kennel but one will never know for sure.

Over the years I have had several dogs that loved to point fish. This one has taken it to a new level. There is a better video on FB

I sure could have used this bit of advice in all of my learning adventures. "You need to be patient. A fellow once told me when training a horse if you go about it like you have fifteen minutes it may take you all day. But if you go about it as if you have all day, it will probably only take fifteen...
