Ray, that’s a great description. Thank you!

Hello,

I’ve seen several good posts regarding using welding cables attached to a harness for roading.
Does anyone have a picture showing how a snap is attached to the cables?

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

My name is Aaron and I will be moving to Albuquerque in July for work. I have a 4 year old GSP named Dallas. I haven’t posted anything in a while and wanted to see if there are any New Mexico quail hunters looking for a hunting buddy

Thanks,
Aaron

My GSP did the same when he was younger and I attributed it to being nervous. I live only a few blocks from the field where I run him and I would drive him there everyday rather than walk him. Either he just naturally outgrew it or he associated the car with fun and it solved the issue within a matt...

For some reason my GSP has started to howl and bark when left in his kennel. I never had this problem before until recently (he is 15mo old). I have a garmin delta with bark mode. So this may be a dumb question but is it safe to leave it on him during the day when I'm away from home?

atothek

My pup would drool and vomit within a couple minutes of getting in the car. I tried everything but finally attributed it to him being nervous. Even though the park I take him to is only a couple blocks away I began driving him there everyday. After a week or so the vomiting and drooling stopped. Onc...

I have an 8'x10' welded wire one from them. I put corrugated metal roofing over it and the setup was pretty easy. It's very sturdy, however I have noticed some rust spots after having it for only a couple months. I do live near the ocean and that probably plays a large factor. Some people complain a...

Thanks for the replies. I ended up ordering the irish setter wingshooters and the weinbrenner flyway boots. I am going to send the irish setters back. The flyways are very comfortable and I like the reinforced toe area. I'm going to mink oil them before any usage.

atothek

I know this topic has been discussed many times before. However, I am looking for advice to help me choose between a couple upland boots: irish setter wingshooters and the weinbrenner wood n stream flyway series. Does anyone have experience with either to help me sway one way or another? I am lookin...

Has anyone tried any of the orvis pants? I would rather spend a little extra $ if I am going to get a pant that lasts longer.
Thanks
Aaron

What about using one of those turf potty mats that has a plastic basin under it? You could put it in the garage. It worked well for my pup.

Male GSP - Dallas

atothek

Thank you very much for the replies. I will try anything to help the lil guy out.

atothek

Hey everyone, My pup (4 month old gsp) gets carsick really badly. This past weekend we drove about 45 min to a training park and he threw up on the way there and the way back. I hear they should outgrow this, but how long does that typically take and is there anything I can do in the meantime? Thank...

atothek

I have one 4 month old gsp. Not sure I could handle another one right now

atothek

What type of camera are you using?

atothek

I really like that second photo.

atothek

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing

atothek

We take him to the vet in his crate and only let him out on the table. @dogdr I couldn't agree more about getting him out of the bubble. I have a couple places in mind that are low on the dog traffic.
Thanks

atothek

Thanks birddog. We have been really careful so far, I just want to make sure I am not missing out with getting him introduced to birds, etc. I don't want to take any chances, waiting a few more weeks doesn't sound to bad, his health is my main concern.

atothek

Dallas, my 13 week old gsp pup, just had his parvo and lepto shot. I live in a high dog traffic area and originally the vet mentioned that after the shot at 13 weeks he would be good to go outside, however after he gave the shot he changed his recommendation to waiting until he is 16 weeks old (afte...

Congrats on the pup, he looks great

atothek

Thanks, he is definitely keeping me busy. I will post some more pics as he gets bigger.

Dentist, don't forget to brush and floss twice daily

atothek

@deseeker - thanks @dsmtsi - I got him from Larry Lowell out here in So Cal. Looking forward to getting him on some birds, and let him have fun. He seems to have a great prey drive so far, we have just been letting him be a puppy. He really learns quickly. Your pup looks great, its his sister from a...

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to post a couple pics of my 10 week old GSP pup Dallas. He's a lot of work, but so much fun.
Thanks
Aaron

atothek

@mark yes I mentioned that I will be building him an outdoor kennel. He doesn't seem to make much noise when he is in the crate, in fact when we open the crate door he just sits in there. We run him around as much as possible once we get home in the evening, at lunch I let him burn some energy too. ...

atothek

Thanks for the replies. At night he is in the crate from 10:30pm - 5:30 am (latest 6am). He goes back in at 7:45 am and I am home by 12:15/12:30pm. I put him back in around 1:15/1:130pm and take him out by 5pm ish. We hang out with him in the kitchen/dining room when we are home. We watch him like a...

Hey everyone, I have a 10 week old GSP named Dallas (I will post some pics of him in another thread). Over the last week or so I have noticed a wet spot in his crate after he is in there for a few hours. Im almost a 100% sure its not urine, because it doesn't smell like it. Rather, it has a hint of ...

atothek

Beautiful, it's worthy of a computer background photo

atothek

Haha yeah. The only way I can give him the panacur c is to dilute it in water and give it to him with a syringe

atothek

In the previous post I meant 50mg

atothek

@dog dr it's in suspension at 250mg/mL. We give him 0.2 mL q12h

atothek

We are on day 4/6 for the panacur c.

atothek

He's about 8 lbs. he won't eat the panacur c, he's taking 5mg metronidazole.

atothek

Thanks for the advice, I will give it a try. The good thing is he is getting plenty of water. Yeah Cajun it seems like a lot of meds, I thought he would only need the metronidazole but I don't know enough about it to not follow the vets instructions.

atothek

Hey everyone, Last week my 9 week old gsp was diagnosed with giardia and coccidia. He has been on metronidazole, albon suspension and panacur c. He seems to have lost some of his apetite, which makes giving him the full dose of panacur c powder difficult to administer. He will eat a little out of my...

atothek

Thank you all for the great advice. I like the idea of a cheap small plastic crate and once full grown a ruff tough kennel. Im thinking the intermediate ruff tough will be the final size. Ive found a few sizes for cheap crates online, 20L x 13 w x 11h or 24l x 16w x 15 h. Any advice on which one to ...

atothek

Hey everyone, I will be picking up my gsp pup in a few weeks and I am looking into getting a wire crate. One that has a divider, eventually I will get a ruff tuff kennel. My question is: with a wire crate do you cover all sides but the door with a towel or blanket? If you don't put any cover on, has...

atothek

Hey everyone I will be bringing my first gundog home in a few weeks. I was wondering if anyone here knows a great vet here in the Orange County area of CA. If not, that's fine but what should I look for in a vet who understands gundogs? Is that necessary, or will most vets be a good candidate? Thank...

atothek

Those chippewas look like they have another material on the upper. I will be using these for Kansas pheasants and quail, but will be doing some chukar hunting out here in California too.

atothek

Im in need of a new pair of upland boots, looking at either the Irish setter wingshooters or the chippewa briar bisons http://www.chippewaboots.com/boots/upland/24946
Does anyone have any experience with either in terms of comfort, durability and if they are truly waterproof?
Thanks
Aaron

atothek

I don't get the channel

but I do get to see some of the episodes on YouTube. I really enjoy the show

atothek

I am deciding between diesel, major, Dallas and axel for a male gsp. Leaning toward Dallas or major

atothek

Beautiful work. I will be interested in purchasing some

atothek

Thank you for the replies. I think I will give Chad a call

Aaron

atothek

I agree with not wanting a common name. I am short listing rommel, axel, and kai. Keep the advice and suggestions coming, thanks for some great posts so far

Aaron

atothek

@duckdog, I really like the name Rommel. I have the same hesitation with having to explain to people about the history of the name. Axel is also a favorite of mine. But the name Diesel rolls off the tongue easily, especially if it needs to be yelled

atothek

Would you say Diesel is a common name?
