We have all our dogs duel registered with both AKC and UKC. We show in both venues as well. Work in performance events in both venues too. If the pup you are buying is ONLY registered with UKC it can not then be registered later with AKC. But if your pup is AKC registered it can be later registered ...

When I didn't realize that males would do ANYTHING to get to a female in heat one of my males chewed through his chain link kennel to get into the females kennel. Lesson learned. Put her inside in a crate. I now follow the three door rule when in heat. Making sure to have at least three doors of som...

I am pretty excited about being able to test in the retriever testing. We use our dogs for duck and goose so it will be fun to test them on waterfowl as well! :D And yeah I know that UKC allows it I just haven't gotten into those tests yet. But we have a retriever one in just a few weeks close to ho...

Anytime after 6 months is perfectly normal for a female to go into heat. Just keep her away from male dogs and keep the diaper on and you should be fine. Normally it lasts 21-28 days. Some females have crazy first cycles though so even if you think she is out of heat give it more time and such befor...

Wish we lived closer to you! We could have some fun getting out and hunting waterfowl. Your organization reminds me of the picture a friend of ours sent us yesterday. The dog is one that we fostered that he adopted and uses for waterfowl. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r231/MOOSE1_2007/imagejpeg...

I want to know if your decoys stay that organized all season! lol

We are excited here too! Reminds me I have to renew our $50 a year lease on one of our fields!

Check out HRC: http://www.huntingretrieverclub.org/

They are pretty well across the USA and are geared toward retrievers but even us with pointing breeds can run in HRC if we want.

Had two of the pus from our litter over today.

In the same token you HAVE to have one SOLID liver or SOLID black parent to have solid pups.

We have 4 GSP's as house dogs. They are great. Setting a routine is key! Our guys know our routine and know that when in the house and we are relaxing we expect them to do the same and they just lay around. I personally had more problems with the labs I have rescued chilling out in my house than my ...

A few weeks ago I had a friend do photos of Rumor, Cody and Phoenix.

We actually just by Diapers. Cut a whole for the tail and slap them on. It really isn't that hard to keep it clean :0) Good luck!

MOOSE

Dang I have to grovel to the hubby to get another dog! But it has worked 6 times now!

MOOSE

Thanks everyone.

We hid the pigeon tonight in two different places and she scent pointed. Made me pretty happy for a 7 week old pup.

We have decided who we are keeping from our litter of pups.

I didn't read the entire responses here but we changed from Nutro to the Diamond Naturals High Energy. LOVE IT! Great ingredients and our dogs do FANTASTIC on it. We have not noticed any gasiness. Hope you like it as much as we do!

Many raw dog food diets call for eggs as well including shell and all.d Here is a link to some great resources for feeding raw as well

Here are the united states guidlines for shipping frozen semen in and doing an AI: Requirements: As from October 2000 no import permit is required for dog semen. The AKC requests a prior application to permit AI by imported semen. They also request a DNA sample, which can be ordered via E-mail:dna@a...

Cute pictures! How is the book? I am reading the girl with the dragon tattoo. Just started it so wondered how the other books are!

MOOSE

Thanks Jen. Once we do her CERF yes she will be able to get her CHIC number. Which is great! I will keep you all posted on the scoring of her hips. I think it is fun to look back on the x-rays and see what they end up scoring.

MOOSE

Our girl has already had her CD testing done along with her OFA Cardiac by a cardiologist. Just took her in today to have Hips, elbows and thyroid done. Then when we are closer to breeding we will do CERF as well. Thought I would share her x-rays with you all Right Elbow: http://i145.photobucket.com...

It wasn't too hot this weekend. It actually was overcast all weekend and threatening rain. Nice change. But still in the 80's. One more weekend of jumping coming up and then a few weeks off.

MOOSE

We did another weekend of jumping this weekend and Phoenix got better and better as the weekend went. She placed 1st or 2nd in her division in each jump(wave) and then went on to take 1st in the Semi Pro division with NEW PERSONAL BEST jump of 22'8"! And this was teh 3rd best jump of the ENTIRE week...

I have had to put 3 dogs through the treatment for Heartworms that were rescues and positive. A Heartworm (Adult) only has a certain life span. So when using Ivermectin it is killing off the eggs/larva that is laid by the adults (if they are present) or if a bug bites the dog and puts eggs/larva in ...

For our dogs this is part of them working for a living. We have sponsors for this and showing along with weight pull competitions. Hunting is of utmost importants but so far sponsors have not been interested in that. So we keep that just our personal fun.

The material used to cover the dock is not regular AstroTurf. It does not get slippery at all! We have never had a dog slip. Our APBT's are pretty well accepted at events. I have never had a bad reaction to them at all. Annie (the one in the photo) does get overly excited at these events so she can ...

MOOSE

We got to go out and dock jump yesterday. And for Phoenix it was her birthday present. She turned 2 yesterday. She ended up with a longest jump of 21'10" for the weekend and just 5 points short of having her Master Jumping Champion Title. She is one heck of a nice jumping dog! My APBT Annie also set...

I am right here in Michigan. South of Kzoo is all two lane 60 mph type road all the way down into Indianapolis. I HATE HATE HATE that stretch. It is so boring IMO. I personally would say go 69 up to 94. But no matter where you are in Michigan right now you will hit a lot of construction. No way to a...

I am thinking about getting a pigeon out for them tonight. We will see. If not tonight this weekend!

MOOSE

Sorry I didn't see this thread come back up! This was last year 2009 that this happened. She had been put on Clavamox and it cleared right up. No true answer to what exactly it was. Hard to say for sure. It never did come back.

MOOSE

Please don't think I am going to push him to be duck searching in the next few months. I plan on this being a long and fun process for him. I just want to know what steps I should be taking to get there. At the EARLIEST we would run UT not this fall but a year from then. he already loves loves loves...

MOOSE

Thank you guys for the feedback. Yes he is just 6 months. We ran our first NA test yesterday. He got a prize 3 which we were very happy with as he had only been in the field twice to truly run and try to hunt instead of hunting at our house in just our yard on planted birds. So we were very happy wi...

MOOSE

I know we have a few NAVHDA people here. Does anyone have any inforamtion for me on how you start to teach a dog a duck search? How do you transition from just swimming to true searching? In my mind I woudl think let the dog chase a duck around our pond and retreive it so they can see it and underst...

MOOSE

So you are asking about tail set as in when on point and where the tail is? Not where it actualy is set on the body itself? Normally when one talks about tialset it is refering to where on the body the dogs tail meets the body such as is it straight off the top line, set lower off the top line or se...

We have gone through some changes and such here at our house and have added a new family member. We decided it was time to get back into our hunting dogs more seriously and have added a GSP male pup. He will be 5 months old on April 20th. His registered name is BNJ Jay's Jager Von Draken. So in othe...

MOOSE

My suggestion as well coming from the owner of a black GSP female is to get show titles as well on him. I know he can't show in the conformation ring in AKC. But he can in UKC and the International ring. I think if you could get the GRCH in UKC and the Int. CH title on him that will help prove his c...

MOOSE

I will be doing this with my girl Phoenix this year in July. She already had her UKC CH and has 1 leg toward her Grand CH in UKC and if she could be shown AKC I would but she is black. So I feel as long as I can get the UKC Grand and an international for the time being this will be enough in my opin...

We do videos of all our dogs for the year. This one is for my GSP Phoenix:

MOOSE

Yeah Tundra won't be my one who I would use. She has probably a negative number in body fat and a VERY thin coat.

This won't all be happening until next season anyway as we are too far into this season to get a dog ready.

MOOSE

I am going to pose the same question here as I posted on another forum just so I can get some feedback from some more people. My husband and I have really gotten into duck hunting this year. We just got a nice small boat and a bunch of decoys and are having a blast. We have a 1 year old GSP that we ...

I've been addicted!

He is now addicted even more than before apparently. I also have been asking for another dog for quite a while. So we shall see.

MOOSE

So yesterday my husband and I were talking and he said to me that now that he has gotten so involved with the hunting stuff he doesn't see the point in having any other breed of dog other than a hunting breed. We have GSP's and American Pit Bull Terriers right now. I was so amazed by that. Those wer...

MOOSE

I just wanted to update you on the scores. The hips shown in the x-rays scored out at left .55 and right .50. This puts her in the 50th percentile. Not as good as I was wanting but still is pretty good for the American Pitbull Terrier breed. Average is .55 so she is right at that. We are getting our...

Big Congrats!

Here is a picture of the dog in question. Other than her front feet stacked out a bit forward she is turning out to be a nice girl. Getting in nice hunting shape as well. She really hasn't been stacked before so is resisting some but overall is doing well. Just thought you may all enjoy a picture of...
