Could I get Ezzy to delete my profile or have a kind person tell me how to do it. I am going to get on out of hearing and leave you good people alone. Not my intent to offend sorry if I did. Thanks for responding Birddogger.

Frankug

What happens to the dog at 400-500 yds. Proper use of a Collar. From a Bird Dog Person or Birddogger himself. ???

Frankug

Crackerd not sure of your meaning. Am i giving a linguistics lesson? Wasn't claiming Ezzy to be right or wrong. I am very comfortable in the 1% as i have stated before.

Frankug

Polmaise I would like to learn more. If that is you in video, it is great!

Frankug

Ezzy when you put yourself in the 99% and a forum guest in the 1% it kind of brings on that Us against Them you so loath.

I agree with MJB64, my collars were always used with the threat of or actually electricity. Put it to myself a dozen times for sure. Not terribly painful but electricity for sure. I haven't bought one for at least 8 years and maybe they have come along way since then like someone suggested. I heard ...

Frankug

I understand what Sharon and Roanie are saying. Thanks for saying what you guys did say, because it does clear some things up for me. I think saying that when someone refers to the collar as something The other side may not like, is probably better than making assumptions about ones training ability...

My parents other dog "Cash", The Man In Black. photo.jpg We hardly ever take a motorized cart, as my parents are super traditional and we like to do it the way my great grandfather did it.

Two other Cockers, "Roper and Dally", One is an up and comer (black Roper) and the other is in the working rotation (Dally). These two are related to my Parents dogs but belong to their dog trainer. photo.JPG The English Cocker Spaniels have become quite popular with the southern style quail hunts h...

Alright back, I will try and post a few pics of hunting. The Point. photo.JPG Can't seem to post video. Anyway here Spice is back at the wagon. photo.JPG Had cool video because she, "Spice", is super fast and fun to watch. This how my parents use their 2 Cockers to pick up the birds post point and s...

Wonderful, hunted in Scotland before, mainly stags. Great people and great times. Great looking dogs too. I am out the door to go hunting but will be back around computer tomorrow evening. I am new to Cockers and coming over to meet and see Darren at Mole Mafau cockers. Just getting into it and want...

Frankug

Coming over there this Spring and wanted to try and connect with some of you guys. Wanted to know trial seasons and what not and hoping to see a spaniel trial when i am over there. I am coming to get a dog at a friends Kennel and wanted to learn more about Spaniels. Thanks.

Frankug

Nice Whatsnext, We're in agreement. Seen great dogs both ways too. My choice has just led me away for financial reasons and dog #s. My personal preference thats all and not pushing it on anyone. Thanks.

Frankug

I don't think E-collars are 100x more effective than traditional means as some have suggested, you know who you are. I tend to be in the camp of Tonys S others Polmaise. Been using them, but getting away from them and enjoying my dogs more. They seem to respect me and not the Collar, Pretty Cool. If...

Frankug

I had a similar problem with hounds, but found no one wants to hear bout it. Cool when you get them through it with no collar though. PEACE.

Frankug

Wrong Roainie, been using one but as they break and can't afford a new one, been finding other ways to get the job done. I have just stated that i have been finding it rewarding for the dog to listen to me and not the collar. CDN Cocker can mock me for asking stupid questions, but in my mind there a...

Frankug

So started wondering last night if there is some other collar that you guys are talking about. My collar has a tone, buzz, and then different levels of electrocution. Momentary and continuous on the electrocution. Otherwise known as a shock collar. This is the collar I speak of. If you go back and r...

Frankug

Seems everyone thinks I am in the wrong. Change my tone even. Sorry, I was sharing my thoughts on collars and limited use of. I thought that is what I am suppose to do here. BirdDogger, VDKennels, and Little Cocker get to gang up on me, and you don't expect me to defend myself. What kind of people a...

Frankug

I am not really the issue. You will have to look within yourselves to figure out your own insecurities. This is my point with my dogs. Positive reinforcement is better than negative. Birddogger VDKennels and Little Cocker think Slamming someone is a great way to make themselves feel better about the...

Frankug

Ran him a pack today. Back to YOU!

Frankug

Hey, I had a positive post. It said nothing negative about anyone. Just me and my dogs and where i am. Then Birddogger and VDkennels jumps on me like they are some sort of Ecollar gurus and want to stand up for how good they are and how much their dogs love them. In essence slamming my post which sa...

Frankug

Sounds like all of you guys are lazy. Have just one dog or two GSPs or something. I have had plenty of dogs under my belt to know what i know. You guys choose a crutch in training. Not my problem. I am just moving beyond. I don't use an ecollar with my spaniel and don't need to. I have a great rappo...

Frankug

You seem just like the type of person that would need one. Totally lost in the negative, Behind me in dog comprehension for sure. Sorry to hear that.

Frankug

take this with a grain of salt. I have rabbit dogs, so i would use and e-collar for trash breaker scenarios for the most part. I am not training bird dogs. I have used collars and they are nice, see your dog running trash and let it know it is a bad idea. Most of my collars are broken these days. I ...

Frankug

i used to feed it, My dogs did great on it. The only reason not feeding it now is the distance to Sams club. About forty five minutes. Contemplating my high dollar feed choice as of late. Maybe I should go back.

Frankug

The 20 ga is probably a better all around shotgun. I shot one for years but got bored with it and picked up a 28. Awesome, less recoil, less noise, tons of fun. Shot that for years and got bored with it. Picked up a .410 and really like the less noise recoil etc. been shooting that ever since. Sure ...

Frankug

B_H Good luck with that. No need to pull rank on you, You got your way and I got mine!

Frankug

Just FYI. All my dogs are vetted to the 9s. All shots vaccines etc. All administered by a Vet. I know I could do a bunch of them but, I like the professional to do it for record keeping and a yearly once over. I keep a double record of my on. Nice that i have a vet that will do a kennel call. I am a...

Frankug

Just FYI. I shot a deer one night and was unable to find it. Lots of coyotes where i live, no wolves. Went back the next morning and the coyotes had found the deer and had eaten the whole thing. Nothing left but hide and skeleton. I was so impressed had others come and take a look. I don't know wher...

Frankug

The country folk around here refer to them as "buck" rabbits. Georgia, Alabama. I would think the name stems from the size difference. It is a different species than the cottontail. A Cane Cutter or Swamp Rabbit. They are fun to hunt because they have such a larger chase. Circles but big circles. Ru...

Frankug

Nice!!! I am sure that got the dogs fired up!!

Frankug

photo.jpg photo.jpg Had my friend Hank over to chase some Buck Rabbits. Which is just a Cane Cutter FYI. On the bed of the truck there is one cottontail and 2 Buck rabbits. You really need some power dogs to take this type of rabbit though. Hank's got them. The pic doesn't really show the size diff...

I am not a breeder either, just have lots of dogs.

Frankug

So i have a female that has had lots of false pregnancies. i bred her twice. Had trouble with tumors, probably should of spayed, could of avoided that. I was told by a vet that a false pregnancy is actually part of the heat cycle. I can not regurgitate verbatim maybe there is a vet on here that can....

Frankug

Lab guys are going to send me hate mail. I am not a lab guy. Labs are awesome don't get me wrong, They are like vanilla ice-cream. Which I love. The other two breeds you mentioned are like Chocolate with some mocha chip or some swirls. What i mean is those two other breeds have a little more to them...

Frankug

I use ivermectin, don't know about brand though. Were you asking about brand or just ivermectin in general.

Nice Kennels Georgia Boy. A very well Thought out design. Depending on someone's dog #s this would work awesome. More dogs just add a few more kennels etc. Thinking of putting a whelping/sick bay in my barn and want to use the concrete block this time around, used wood before and it gets chewed and ...

Going to start adding bones. Ordered a dental pick to. Changing dog foods as well. Thanks. Getting something done here. Question: I had always heard not to give dogs chicken bones because they could splinter or something? Myth?

Frankug

Just ordered the Steadfast Product. Thanks Doc. I assume by your profile name Dog Dr, You are a Doctor. Read the article sent by Angus as well. Interesting. I think the Supplement I am giving is some type of Glucosamine Chondroitin Combo, but it is down in the kennel, and I am not. Useless according...

Frankug

Is it just a marketing scheme or is there something that helps the older dogs Joints? Anybody seen good results with something. I am using senior food and some type of supplement. Not really seeing much difference. Thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Frankug

My dogs teeth get gross. I have tried ropes, denta-bones, etc. etc.. Anybody have the same problem? If so what do you do? Is it the kibble or What? Thanks.

Frankug

A lot of the Pro guys are running dogs throughout the south in the winter. The Tracy's have a winter kennel near Hurtsboro. I have seen many of these guys run dogs at several trials. They are awesome to watch. I am sitting here trying to figure out how to go to that one. Thanks for the link. The sou...

Frankug

Did someone say they fed there dogs roadkill? Wonder if you have a problem with tapeworms and other parasites? I feed Members Mark from Sams Club. Lamb and rice formula. I feed a high quality puppy food for the first year. I don't think it is a marketing ploy but humans can justify anything. I usual...

Frankug

of the 14 dogs I have 5 are Wirehaired Dachshunds. Wirehaired Dachshunds it is, because they are tough and versatile. Plus you have to be tough hided to hunt with them, you will certainly get some laughs. Best personality out of any dog i have ever seen.

Frankug

I breed angus and Simmental cattle. A sim angus is a hot breed right now. You get that by crossing a angus with a Simmental. Two purebreds. If you cross a GSP with a coon hound you get the same thing F1 hybrid. If you breed F1s you do not get more F1s you get F2 then 3s and so on. The performance fr...

Frankug

Nice Tooling. Great story. I used to run around the woods with dogs as a kid, to escape. Found real peace there. These days when I take the dogs out, I get to feel like a kid again. Ain't it grand! Dogs rule, no matter what breed, just glad there other dog nuts out there.

Frankug

I have only done them for quail in Alabama. Two surrogators with three releases per breeding season. All banded and what not. We found no positive results. I have heard they worked better for pheasants, again heard, but never done it myself. We sold our surrogators and have moved on. Roosters mom so...

Frankug

I switch at a year. I have always fed puppy food. Supposed to be good for growing dog but also very good for proper brain development. I want a smart dog.

Frankug

I don't get it. Crossbreeding is how we got all dog breeds. If you breed purebreds you are essentially just breeding cousins. Cross breeding is proven to produce hybrid vigor, heterosis. ,
