When will you people ever stop going to the 2nd amendament Never. Neither will I ever stop going to the 1st or the 4th or the 5th or the 10th or any other. The Bill of Rights (First 10 Amendments) was added to the Constitution because the Framers of the Constitution felt it imperative to spell out ...

Being a woman myself, I just have to say that I'm sorry she puts you through that. Don't feel guilty. Let her pout, and you just go and enjoy yourself. She'll either get over it or start coming along eventually. Or divorce him. Don't drive like my brother. Huh? Did you mean divorce her ? Just check...

My wife took gun safety when we were first married but now-a-days she's only interested in shooting me each time I make plans to go shooting or hunting with our sons, my brothers, sister-in-law and nephews. She's been invited to participate at the range and walk the fields with or without a weapon....

they can't be used for hunting or any meaningfull purpose. Here in the United States, our right to own firearms "ain't" about hunting my friend. It is about fighting tyrrany, it is about self defense. I consider these d_mn meaningful purposes. An armed populous is made up of "citizens," a disarmed ...

I got one of those bleached bones without the marrow for our Airedale and had to take it away because he managed to get some pieces off and it made a sharp edge that was cutting into his gums.

utahmomof4

Oh, I forgot to say that I'm also glad that my kids can draw pictures of guns without being expelled.

Nice looking pups. Great pics.

Gun registry is the first step of outlawing them and coming to your door to get them. No one needs to know if you own a gun or not in a free society. I dont suppose you saw the chart that was going around last week about how many more people are killed by doctor error than by careless gun ownership...

The Pony Express road is barely drivable on a good day.

My SIL and her family live out in the West Desert, and that is our least favorite way to get out there.

Do you give them rawhide chews. We were told that the compressed and granulated rawhide chews are safer than the regular kind because the granulated stuff breaks off into pieces too small to be a choking hazard, and the compressed doesn't flake apart as easily, either. I have used both of those kin...

Oh I forgot...my gf's lab came with us to a camp that was down the road from mine. We are all standing around the fire and he comes from out of nowhere and lifts his leg while standing behind her. She had baggy jogging pants on and didnt feel him urinating on her leg. I watched it take place but wa...

Thought I'd share some new pics of our Britt, Catherine A.K.A. "Cat." She'll be 3 months old tomorrow. She sure is a lot of fun. She's very friendly and active. She loves to play in the back yard with our Airedale. I'm really looking forward to spring so we can spend more time outside, and take her ...

Just thought that I would check on Cat. Her litter mates are doing well. Send me some pictures when you have time, I would love to see how much she is growing. RM Hi Rodney. I'm planning on taking some new pictures of Cat tomorrow for her 3-month birthday. :D I'll be sure to send you some, and post...

Sounds like she's doing great, Gary! She sure is a pretty little girl! I didn't realize she was so close in age to Catherine. Catherine will be 3 months on Thursday.

My vote is for the Beretta 391 Urika youth model in 20 ga. or the Beretta 3901 RL in 20 ga. I own a 391 in 20 ga. and I can shoot it all day long. I don't know how big your son is, but I'm 5'2" and 120 pounds. I own both of the above guns (except my 3901 is a 12 gauge) and with 7/8 oz. loads, there ...

Good work, Bob.

Welcome to the forum. Like Helen said, we have an Airedale. He's 6 years old. My husband bought him and has trained him primarily as a fur dog. He's amazing on coyotes and rabbits. We have taken him pheasant hunting twice, and he can find the birds like crazy, and does point, but he has never been f...

utahmomof4

I appreciate your suggestions. The destruction almost exclusively happens outside, and we have also noticed that it doesn't happen when he's outside alone, only when she's out there with him, which leads me to believe that he takes her lead, but is more effective than she is. :lol: He much prefers b...

Our 12-week-old Brittany puppy pesters the crud out of our 6-y/o Airedale, too, and for the most part, he plays back. She's relentless though; she goes straight for his lips. :shock: :lol: It's funny the way their play has evolved. At first, he was so gentle with and tolerant of her. Then he started...

utahmomof4

Adorable! Congratulations!

We are having a problem with our 6-y/o Airedale the last couple of weeks. He has not chewed on things for years, but now he is chewing on things he would have never given a second glance to. It started a few weeks after we brought our now 12-week-old Brittany; we have, of course provided her with ch...

My husband is a 1911 fan as well. His carry gun is a Dan Wesson CBOB in .45.

I wish I could get my wife to shoot! Maybe when the kids are gone, who knows? My husband got me educated and interested in guns to begin with, but he's more a rifle and pistol shooter (shoots defensive pistol regularly). I've taken off with the shotgun sports all on my own, thanks in part to partic...

utahmomof4

Thank you for that information, Bruce. I bought ivermectin 1.87%, but have not administered it, so I will get some of the 1% and use that instead. It's good to know about the 6 months old thing, too.

Our breeder uses the 7-way vaccination and he lives near us, so that's what we used, too.

Thank you, BH.

Nope. We're in West Valley.

With the paste, how would you control the amount for a puppy? Or should I just let the vet overcharge me until the puppy is full grown? Also, If I am going to do it myself, what vaccinations do I need to get , and what dose of dewormer for his first dose at home. Thank you I'm bumping this because ...

We have fed our Airedale with Kirkland Signature dog food for years and have always been happy with it. We now have our puppy on KS brand as well.

utahmomof4

Very nice guns and good-lookin' son!

utahmomof4

Fun. I've done it once. The gun club where I shoot only does it during the warm months. I want to try it some more this summer, though.

I shoot mostly trap, but want to start doing some skeet soon, too, and will get to try my hand at 5-stand next month.

Wow, Gary. She's getting so big!!

Do any of you Utahns have a vet you can recommend in the Salt Lake area? My husband takes his Airedale to Bountiful because he works up there, but that's further than I want to drive. Right now, I'm just looking for a well-puppy visit and vaccinations, but would like to establish a relationship with...

My Britt is now 8-1/2 weeks old and loves to run around the yard, so I am thinking now would be a good time to get her used to a check cord. Is it, or is it too early yet? What kind and length would be the best kind to start her out on?

utahmomof4

In my opinion, education is less dangerous than ignorance and I would rather my kids were educated at a young age than make a stupid, deadly mistake out of ignorance later in life. Parents willing to take the time to properly educate and introduce their children to the shooting sports at a young ag...

My 3 older kids (ages 5, 7, and 8) love to go out and shoot the .22 rifles. We put the rifle on a rest and the kid on a chair, stand over them, reinforce safety rules, and they line up the red dot sight and pull the trigger themselves. My 8-y/o son got a pellet gun for his 7th birthday and he's an e...

I'm 23 and I think a .22 is what my boyfriend wants to teach ME on! I'm slightly offended.

You did it just fine. I do want to comment though on what you are calling problems. In a persons age she is like a one or two year old child.

Okay, you're probably getting tired of me, but I'm at a loss. I have read that, when you are house training, you shouldn't allow potty breaks to turn into extended playtime. What I'm not sure of is where to draw the line. When I take Catherine outside, she will always urinate right away, and will so...

I would say our Airedale eats at least 4 cups a day. He is about 70 pounds and he also has virtually no fat, despite getting relatively little exercise during the winter months. We feed Kirkland Signature Chicken & Rice formula.

Can I just chime in here and say that I have learned a lot since bringing my pup home that I could never have learned in all the reading I did beforehand - of which I did a lot on puppy training in general and breed-specific training and other information.
