My trainer trains V's same as my GSP

GmanHawaii

I don't own a SM but three of my friends have and they're all out of a kennel in OR. Great hunters, and family dogs.

GmanHawaii

Very possible, GSPs are trained to track anything from feathers to fur, they're also used to locate dead bodies.

GmanHawaii

Sorry for your loss, it's never easy saying goodbye.

I would keep them apart, your pug is 12, too old and soon to be too small to keep up with you GWP. My 9 week old GSP is not allowed to play with my 3 year GSP yet, puppies aren't to bright, they will do stupid stuff that will get them in trouble with the older dog. After about 4-5 months of age i wi...

Yep that's exactly right, T litter. My boy is from the M litter, he just turned 3 on Saturday.

GmanHawaii

Nice looking pup! So did you get a second from the same breeder in WallaWalla if I'm remembering right. Know a guy that has one of his dogs and it is pretty close working but he really likes it. What kind of range are you seeing. Talked with him and met him at one of the tests. Still get all his em...

I'm gonna be in rattlesnake country the next few weeks. My dogs have gotten one of the rattlesnake vaccines, but my vet says they'll need a booster in a few weeks. What medication should I keep with me in case of a bite. I'll mostly be training on the weekends when the vets are closed. Where will y...

PI or no PI, Bryant still should have drawn the flag for coming onto the field to protest.

GmanHawaii

Do yourself a huge favor and find one that is a manual. Before i bought my duramax i passed up a 2006 5.9 HO, manual for $17,000.00 , the truck only had 50 thousand on it. I still kick myself for not buying it right then. To answer your question, Dodges are notorious for blowing trannys in their ol...

I'm sorry and this is just my humble opinion, but a hunting dog not retrieving because it might screw up its style on the point and flush is about as lame a statement as a show judge telling me he passed on my GSP because he was "too muscular". My reply was, last time I checked GSP's were still in t...

GmanHawaii

They were gonna lose anyway even without the flag pick up. Doubt it, but none the less it would have been nice to see it play out without the refs. Even if picking up the flag was the right call, Dez Bryant should have been flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for entering the field of play to prote...

The problem with that is my wife Is driving it so auto is key. I just talked with the dealer today and they said tranny has been rebuilt two years ago. do you guys have problems with cold weather starting or do you have to keep them plugged in? I can start it no problem in cold weather but they tak...

No I haven't still working decent enough, when I had it in last trans guy said bands are adjusted are far as they can be and eventually will need a rebuild.

I get 12-15 towing 18-20 when empty.

GmanHawaii

I have same truck 170,000 needs rebuild on tranny, other than that great truck. 16K seems a bit high 12K seems more like it.

Don't use tennis balls, the material on the outside is like sandpaper on your dog's teeth, I use rubber balls (chuckit's). My dog fetches balls, bumpers, sticks, etc. doesn't seem to affect his bird fetching.

My wife wasn't a big dog person either, now look. She spoils him. He's the best dog I have ever had, can't go wrong with GSP

GmanHawaii

My 70# GSP is 1 year old, he eats 2 cups in the morning and 3 cups in the evening. He is in top condition, not too thin or over weight, no excessive amounts of stool. Bags says he should be eating 1/2 that. Feed til you find a balance. I feed taste of the wild.

GmanHawaii

This is just as idiotic as having to pay more for pet lic, because my dog is intact.

GmanHawaii

Wetlands and the Bison venison blend seem to be the two my dogs like best.

GmanHawaii

Been feeding TOTW for years, tried PP on latest pup because that is what breeder sent home with us, switched him to TOTW and so far less stool, and no gas what so ever. With PP he had bad gas and food seem to go through him . I also like that I can switch between flavors and it doesn't seem to mess ...

The way I do pups is to crate them, take them out to pee....if he pee's outside he gets some fun time loose but then back in the crate....then repeat....peeing outside = fun time. You can also restrict water some during the day and before bed time. He goes outside to pee he gets some water and free...

Thanks for the advise, ordered the Dogtra's.

Looking to get some remote launchers, I like both the DT and Dogtra any opinions on either?

Public land or private, there is no such thing as "free hunting". This is why I like hunting the preserves here in WA and OR, by the time I drive to the public lands, pay for fuel, lodging, etc. and if I am lucky enough to bag my two day limit of 6 birds, they only cost me about 50 a bird. My last t...

Not to throw a wrench in here but I have a couple of buddies that have Mustalanders very good hunters/pointers, style is like a cross between my GSP and a setter. Very nice family/companion dogs when not in the field.

live in Fayetteville NC and have been following bird dogs for most of my 46 years. I currently have an 11 year old GSP that is the best dog I have had the pleasure of sharing a house with.

Welcome to the club, I was stationed at Fort Bragg in the early 80's.

Can you set up some kind of temporary shelter in the area you want to train him to go? This would make it easier on both of you, and yet still get him going where you want him to go.

Only good Yote is a dead Yote, don't care if its shot or ripped apart piece at a time by dogs. Yotes are not particular about how they kill, and I am not particular about how they get killed. As a matter of fact we have a lot of them here in WA and they can be a problem, if I know there is a pack ne...

I believe the Breeders name should be in the registered name, but they should not be able to name your dog. For instance one of my GSP's was Attila he was out of Chehalem Mountain Kennels so his registered name was Chehalem Mtns Attila, to us he was just Attila. Its only for the registration, not th...

Yeah, what's up with a pet feed business trying to make money? What a rip off! They should invest millions in R&D and marketing and then ignore everything they learn! Shame on them for promoting a product that while probably not necessary, does more good than harm! IMO we should ALL talk to our pay...

Taste of the wild puppy formula, I mix up the flavors. Adults eat the same Taste of the Wild adult formula.

Check out Trocken bach kennels in Walla Walla WA. They're breeders of Deutsch Kurzhaar from the Haugen Haus line in Germany. Little on the pricey side but after talking to people that had bought pups from them and some were on there 2nd, I was more than convinced these were the breeders for me. Pick...
