Gun Dog Forum

I not saying crossbreds are better. But If the OP wants to breed a crossbred litter it is not going to hurt anything in the long run and they will likely get some bird dogs if the parents are bird dogs. So why not. how did they get the tall big running Brittanys. What put the Run and temperment in ...

From what I have seen a pretty good number of dogs in pounds are registered breeds. This is a owner problem If you are looking for a dog to be a family hunting dog a Gsp and GWP might be just you need. I would not do it but, I would like to see the results. It as always been interesting to me He is...

This is an interesting thread which has several different threads running through it. Is being gun-shy or gun-nervous genetic ?..... I think probably yes based on the fact that I have seen more dogs of non-gun dog breeds show fear or nervousness in the presence of "bangs" than among dogs purpose br...

GH, I agree that usually there is a personality trait of shyness or some say softness that shows in every dog I have seen that was really gunshy. But I am not sure you would call that genetic unless it showed itself in the whole litter or was evident in one of the parents.

Do you mess up a bloodline and pedigree to breed a GSP to GWP. A guy is asking me about my pup that I have who he wamts to breed with but his female is a GWP and I have concerns. Sent from my LG-H871 using Tapatalk No you don't mess up anything except a litter of pups that are basically just mutts....

Taking the route of slowly introducing the bangs in proximity or frequency will determine at which point this dog 'goes back to the car' . So what you gonna do now ? ''Urban Myth'' with the clay shoots thing ..old wives tale that may have inadvertently appeared to work for a few ,more likely someth...

Training with Mo written by a Brittany breeder

Why does it bother people so much when someone wants a dog with different qualities than they do, especially when it comes to NATURAL range?

I am a little concerned by the lack of OFA info and also just what size many of their dogs are. Very few Duals listed and those lines tend to be big. I have no doubt they will hunt but I think DeSeeker has two of the very best bred litters that could be bred.

Just create a funnel along one wall and have a cover on it you can reach through. Very simple to make.

You should check with Deseeker Britts as he has an add in the dogs for sale forum. He bred two of his really nice females to our Stud dog and I know what type of pups he throws. The pups will be birddogs with a ton of point to them. Birddog 307 Excellent advice as the pups he has right now are abou...

Had 2 females over the years that had this problem and basically corrected both in a similar method, however, one much quicker than the other. On a side note, the one that was hard to correct, ignored thunderstorms as though she was deaf, and a male the same age, different litter, wasa great dog in ...

I pray for a merry and meaningful Christmas for everyone. May we all remember the meaning as we celebrate with our family and friends. And do not forget or feel embarrassed to tell all those dear to you that you love them. It is the season for all of us to share what we have and we will find greater...

Stopped hunting for 15 yrs. while the kids were so busy with 3 sports each. The two boys and I are back hunting and I have dogs that will get me through 70. Not sure after that. Guess we'll see. Planning to have one more in 5 yrs or so that would get me through to 75 but don't want to have a dog th...

Thanks; very interesting. Lady will probably be my last gun dog and it breaks my heart. Getting too old to be out daily with a new young gun dog - plus getting up at 6 am for a puppy. :) Stuck with a JRT for the rest of my life. :roll: I'm in the same boat and can honestly say that taking the dogs ...

Thank you. I have always found the truth keeps you consistent.

No. Just took my dog to a well-known orthopedic surgeon for a post-TPLO evaluation. At 8 weeks after surgery, he is doing fine. Got an A+ on recovery so far. However,the orthopedic guy --after asking about diet -- mentioned that dogs fed "raw" recover much more slowly and have far more problems tha...

Dogs do much better metabolizing fat as their primary energy source than they do with burning nutritionally unnecessary carbohydrates. Dogs have zero nutritional requirements to consume carbohydrates. They are in dog foods to lower costs (only). That lower cost comes at the price of reducing a dog'...

The federal labeling laws are very specific about what you list, where it is listed, size of the print, etc. Carbs are not listed on any feed that I know of but protein, fats, fiber, some minerals, and some vitamins are. Carbs are included in the calorie count that is on the back of the bag as I re...

I believe that the thousands of trials and test being run that pretty much dispute your claim however I can understand that everyone has a preference and that is good

Sure it is.

When I find fantastic I try to duplicate and not start looking for something different

The Appalachians lost there trees due in large part to disease of the Chestnut. When ever we let a single specie take over a large percentage of the trees in an area due to preservation as well as other reasons we get in trouble. Chestnuts, Elms, nor Ash and Blue Spruce as well as some of the Oaks a...

I know in Europe they operate on he theory that just the few know enough to breed dogs. In America we operate on a system that says the dog is yours and you can do what you want with it including breeding and the results seem to say we are right.

I love rabbits too. Best wild meat there is.

Always amazes me how people are so willing to believe something from an unknown source with unknown knowledge and then disparage the companies and institutions that research and pay animal nutritionist that apparently know nothing about dogs or how and what to feed them.

Mine have helped me pick berries, pick the apples,and pears out from under the trees, and they bring ears of corn they find in the field up into the yard and chew the corn off to eat and leave the cobs for me to mow over And of course we can't forget the horse pucks and cat litter box. And the lists...

If you truly want to preserve land the best thing to do is nothing, no designations, no national parks, nothing. https://www.ksl.com/?sid=46213313&nid=157&title=zion-sets-visitation-record-highlighting-crowding-concerns Have to admit I am not in the preservation camp of natural resources but rather...

I agree and it is their land. Too often, like every time, once the feds get hold of it all they do is tell the states and the public what they can't do instead of acquiring it so we can do.

When all is said and done, isn't this the best option if you can handle it? Not really, it is just another option. Worse part is none of us are equipped to do it properly. WE have no way to measure the content of the ingredients we buy, we have no way to mix the ingredients, most of us do not even ...

Dogs that have the same sog 2,3,or even 4 times is good if the dogs doubled up on were good and normally they were and that is why you find them multiple times

Good feed but expensive isn't it?

They are very easy to feed. Any good pellet will work but the droppings will be sticky. a mixture of grains will work but stay away from cracked corn and use just plain shelled corn, or pellets and grain is good. A pigeon needs a heaping tablespoon a day but remember to count babies when you are fig...

So I have a Lab that knows the difference between sit and whoa. When I say whoa he knows he needs to stop on all fours. I have also taught him sit with the word and a hand signal. My problem is I have a 10 week old Vizsla that I am working on whoa with. He has naturally sat from the day I picked hi...

Same to you and just always remember we have so much to be thankful for and we too often take things for granted.

CJ, I know you are experienced and have training method you like but that does not give you license to tell the rest of us are phony and that you know what a dog is thinking and it agrees with you. I do not care what the dog is thinking other than knowing to point when it smells a bird, learns that ...

Just to clear things up a little, I have never seen a pup have a negative reaction to Gonehunting's method and it has been used on hundreds of dogs. As trainers we all have learned to go slow and be patient but I also see many cases where we carry things to far with the excuse we might ruin the pup....

I just read through again and didn't see it mentioned but... The recommendations for amount of food by weight of dog on the back of the food bag are coming from a company that wants to sell you more food :roll: You are right and the way they go about that is to provide the best info they can so you...

Our hunting dogs do not work like the sled dogs because they stop and take breaks. I think practically everybody thinks their dog works harder than it does. I am not being critical but there is a huge difference between constant work and running and stopping like our dogs do.

Professional trainer is someone just like the OP that has more experience than the OP while the launcher is just a tool both can use. I don't see where anyone is saying a pro trainer can be replaced by the launcher, I never considered sending a dog to a trainer, as the minimal training most dogs nee...

Usually the result of the fever they go through, especially if they were not cut back on feed before and after the whelping process.

I would suggest that you look at Gundog Supply for any equipment you need. And one of them has spent a lot of money to supply you with a forum to use free and without any interference from them.

Both dogs know a pheasant is in this cover but I encouraged this cocker to "point" which he does but not with any style and usually not for very long !
