From what I've seen in my dogs with different snakes, a snakes a snake whether it's a garter snake or copper head they react the same. I have not done snake proofing as I seen no need. I do the vaccine.

Re: Breeders - Do you sell your pups to non-hunters?

Who cares whats going on in Germany? There are plenty of PP and WPG here in the states and in other parts of the world. Plus I wouldn't expect to see any WPG in Germany anyway. Arnt they a Frenchy breed ? I bet there are not a lot of DD in France, go figure lol.

Re: south texas quail hunt

Is it hard finding land in Texas to hunt on? We are getting ready to move to TX from Florida and I am anxious to start finding some good spots. Shane Public land yes, this is a wma that is not open often for quail and there is another large one in North Texas that is open more often than this one.

Ive got a small problem that I can't find the solution to. My 15 month old pup doesn't come when called if she is off lead or no ecollar. With ecollar or check cord on there are no issues. We are working on all obedience this off season,so that should help some I hope. Any ideas? The dog is collar/...

Re: Recall Question?

A dogs obedience should not be determined by a shock collar or any other training tool. If the dogs obedience is dependent on whether or not it has a shock collar on or not, you need to re think your training.

Yeah that was worded wrong. Say you teach sit, down, come. You start adding the collar but only work on come at first. If that's the only command you work on with the collar, sometimes the dog will come to you when nicked because it has associated the nick with the come command. Now you have to work...

Considering how short the life span of quail are, not sure I would wait . They might be gone by the time you hunt them. Also it's been proven the numbers that hunters take have little effect on bird population.
