Re: Garmin 550 Problems

I have a Garmin Pro 550+ and the exact problem you described. I updated both the collar and handheld on a Windows computer, unpaired and repaired the collar, tried everything I could think of, and it's still the same a year later. I eventually gave up trying to fix it and got used to an approximate ...

Re: Pigeon Loft Flooringelps

Freezing weather won't kill the baby birds. Cock birds will. We have them well below zero. You need to have some nest boxes and nesting material. Basically a place they can defend. The babies need to have a place to hide from the old birds when they go on the floor. Leaning some plywood against the...

If you can find a high-quality food that your dog does well on, there shouldn't be a reason why you can't make the switch. I had to switch, because food prices went from approximately $1.40/lb to $2.27/lb just in the last 1.5 - 2 years. I found something less expensive which my dogs do great on. The...
