How did Jersey do on her JH test? Where you able to volinteer at NAVHDA?

WiskeyJaR

Steve your dog looks real simlair to what I saw, 'cept the hair and feathering was more flat then curly. But head shape seems to be simliar.

Heck it coulda been a "heintz 57" dog for all I know.

WiskeyJaR

Doubt it was a solid color L.M. Didn't look or act like me Dutchess. might have been a flat coat the more I think aboout it. Wish I woulda talked to the owner...<shrugs>

WiskeyJaR

Might have been. I always thought the flat coats where a thick dog like a lab. This one was thinner framed, I may be way of base here, as I'm no dog expert for sure.

Dog's tail was high on point, both front legs on ground and leaning forward. Looked real sharp in point.

WiskeyJaR

I was out to a local bird preserve and seen what looked like an english setter. Dog was solid black from what I could see, standing on edge of field like I was. The dog's head was shaped like an E.S., had the leg and tail "feathering" like an E.S. Guess it coulda been a Gordon, I couldn't see any br...

"HUP! Training Flushing Spaniels The American Way" by James B. Spencer. Alpine Publications

Great book, has been very helpfull in training my little Boykin.

WiskeyJaR

The breeder I got my Boykin from also breeds GSP's. I saw a video of him and his GSP and Boykin working together. Boykin stayed at a lose heal till the GSP found point. Then Boykin was sent to flush and retrive. GSP kept point untill gun shot, then was off looking for a nother point while the Boykin...

WiskeyJaR

I would think using the CC would come in handy here. In side a large pen or yard, using the CC to teach sit or "HUP" on flush. Inside a fenced area so you can "recycle" the rabbit. Maybe use a bird launcher with a weaken spring so as not to fling the rabbit sky high when launched...:P) I too am trai...

WiskeyJaR

Do folks that own Boykins use e-collars in their training? If so, what ones do you use? I have a trionics 100 pro exp G2 that I used with Dutchess, seems a little big and clumbersome to use on little Sally.

Any advice? thanks,
WiskeyJaR

WiskeyJaR

Yes she had a heart mumior, or however ya spelling it. That never seemed to bother her when out hunting, she would just crash once home after hunting. Would hunt hard for 2-3 hours, then nap hard for 4-5 hours. I had trained her to NOT go near the road, for 3 years she never went near road. One day ...

WiskeyJaR

Hello folks, thanks for the "welcome back" :) Some of you may remeber Dutchess...(points to avaitar) she has since past on :(. I looked on the LMCNA site for litters, none was available at the time. Wife found a Boykin Breeder in the next town and surprised me with a Little Brown Bundle of joy. Ifn ...

Been a while since I've posted, hows folks been? Have me self a new pup, a Boykin Spaniel (Romar's "Lil' Miss Sally" ) Here she is hanging out on me desk at 6 weeks old. http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh285/WiskeyJaR/dog414.jpg She is a smart pup, quick to learn what I ask of her. Here she is ca...

Check out the Large Munsterlanders. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/largemunsterlander.htm I have a 2 year old that lives in house with us.

I have comcast and have been watching a show called wingshooters for serveral months now, on the outdoor channel. Nice show, didnt realize it was a new show from a fellow GDF member....good job on show

WiskeyJaR

I just use me coat pockets. If I need to carry serveral birds at once, I use me field coat with the large pocket on the back.

I have Dutchess in a FF class, meet once a week. In class, Dutchess will hold small frozen duck in her mouth for as long as I ask, without any chewing at all. At home, she works with frozen pigeon, and almost always trys to tear it apart. This is the part in FF training where she is learning to HOLD...

What Benny said

I used to take Dutchess down to local store front and have different folks offer her treats. Helped a lot.

WiskeyJaR

Orangecrush, this is me frist bird dog and training me self. Dutchess is 2 years old now. I agree with Benny as far as the "ups and downs" there will be days he will test you, then there will be days that everthing goes great. Just remeber...it only gets better as time and training goes along :wink:...

WiskeyJaR

As for your situation, not enough info to know what to advise. Three months later with the dumbbell? Meaning the dog is how old now? Meaning it's still young, most likely, but too young to have been force fetched? Meaning (I'm inferring here), the dog's never had a fresh-killed bird or caught a cli...

Has anyone heard or used a "wieghted bar bell" in fetch training to combat heavy mouths? I have started to use a 2lb bar bell me wife has. It's covered in a rubber type stuff, so dog is not teething metal. Have been using the bar bell for about 2 weeks now. Last night's session, I used a frozen bird...

WiskeyJaR

poor dog, bet that hurt. I admit I laughed :roll:

WiskeyJaR

I do same thing as H20wlkillr

I use straw over the dirt floor in mine. As it becomes soiled, I just add another layer of straw. When it reaches a depth of ~12" I scoop it out , heavily lime the dirt to kill pathogins and lay new straw.

makes for some good garden mulch for the missus.

WiskeyJaR

has anyone seen this before?

like the concept of the idea, not sure how well it would actually work.

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb? 1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb? 2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code. 3. Dachs...

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and ...

THANKS TO ALL FOR THE GOOD THOUGHTS......

Just got a call from my vet, biopsy says its benign, AND IT SHOULD HEAL AND GO AWAY ON OWN. The vet school said no need to operate.

The vet called it a "histiocytoma tumor" and is currently recessing on its own.

Whew what a relief,
