PM me Terrym. I have a dog like that and it is mostly a posturing thing that I learned to watch for. Good dog, but I know how to read him now.... Im with Winchey in that I have a hard time believing the dog knows the age of the dogs it . I suspect it is a posturing issue you are not noticing. Fixing...

I have 3 britts with two of them on adult food. I feed Acana Sport and Agility. My girl gets 1 3/4 to 2 cups per day depending on activity. Shes 19.5 or 20" and weighs 36lbs. My little guy is about 18.5 or so inches and weighs 32 lbs. He only gets between 11/4 to 1 1/2 cups depending on activity. If...

when you talk about retrieving and AKC you have not read the requirements for a FC or AFC... Retrieving points are a must. I believe I have over 10 retrieving points on my dog alone, love to retrieve birds. I think a lot of.people would rather run in a retrieving stake because they like to reward t...

Hi All, I just wanted to shout out about my girl Jasmine. This weekend, we are at the Pennsylvania Brittany Club walking trial. Well, I'm hoping she has turned a corner to get things done as she placed 2rd in the OLGD 1 hour stake yesterday. She finished the hour with 3 finds and 4 stop to flushes. ...

Her last litter was 7 pups (5 girls, 2 boys), not sure how many were in the litter she came out of though. Her temperature is all over the place. I bought a new 10 second digital thermometer for this. Sunday & Monday her temp was between 100 and 100.3. Tuesday morning it read 98.8, last night it wa...

I know the Hudson valley Brittany Club holds a trial in the fall that has a 'hunting dog' stake. Judging stops at the flush. The trail is open to all pointing breeds. I believe they have hosted their trial already (usually beginning of september). They also hold all regular stakes with many walking ...

I know a guy in Pembroke, ON that has exceptional GSP's. I belonged tothe pointing dog club he belongs to before I moved to Barrie, ON. He is heavy into competing in NAVHDA and field tests.

Just thought I'd show out tonight about how my little guy (Gunner) did this weekend. I have him south with my training this fall to get some polishing for hunting. He told me that he has done very well and wanted to run him in a few trials. I agreed to that. He ran at the Michigan Brittany club tria...

Anything is possible with wildlife. Close to two years ago now, a woman was killed in Nova Scotia by two coyotes after being attacked by them. Granted, she died later in the hospital, but regardless, it was tragic and was caused by coyotes. While they aren't as big as wolves, they are capable of doi...

I'm on the Acana Sport and Agility for my dogs (same maker as Orijen i believe) and it is a 32/24 i think (off the top of my head). Dogs seem to be doing very well as they are active. Was on pro plan performance, but my one dog had an issue with it, so I switched. So far the Acana is working for me,...

I have a question for anyone who does any conformation showing in Canada. Is there a website out there that will show me the entries by breed for the previous year's show? I'm trying to get the last few points on my girl, but don't want to be the only Brittany there as I get nothing for it! thanks.

Where can I buy one? (Wife like that I mean!!) I could use another dog....

AWESOME!! I would be very proud as well. I don't know the stud (other than by reputation) and I don't know the dam, but I do know a K-Nine dog here in Canada that is absolutely BEAUTIFUL on point. Arlette does produce great dogs, and this is proof of a fine breeding. You should be proud of this pup ...

My girl won't go in her kennel, however when at the trainer, will do it in his kennel. I'm guessing it is because she lives there so has no choice, whereas here at home, she will be let out and stays in the house... my little guy can't wait to pee and poo in his run. I've seen him hold it running ar...

I know this is a legitimate topic, but one one britt is literally 'hard headed'. I have clocked him at an honest 30 mph full out running, and I watched him run head first into a truck hitch at full steam. Caught is right between the eyes and it floored him. I was pretty sure he gave up the ghost rig...

If I may can I ask a question? How pregnant did your female look before the birth? I have a young GSP that I don't think is bred but if she is its a small litter (possible single). She doesn't look "pregnant" but has chubbed up a little. I know the easy way to find out would be to x-ray her but I'm...

I have sad news. Ryley, the pup, passed away this morning at two weeks of age. We aren't sure what happened, but she just started fading, and then quit eating. She then stabilized, but started to decline again. The vet tried everything, IV drips, oxygen etc, but the poor soul couldn't hang on. I'm s...

Congrats - cute pup. :) :?: Is it common for dogs to whelp just a single pup? I have never bred dogs, just assumed there were always multiple dogs in a litter. Do you still call it a litter when it is just one? Just curious -- trying to learn what I can -- Thanks. It was her first litter, and somet...

I was using Purina Pro Plan Performance. My dogs did exceptionally well other than I finally figured out that my girl was getting ear infections from it. One forum member recommended Acana.

Congrats Rob, that's great news! I really wanted to get to that trial, but it just wasn't in the cards for me this year.

Ummm.....I would think that it could VERY well be food related since she hasn't any ear issues when she is with her trainer :roll: FYI...the dog goes from PP to Enhance Professional Athlete when she is with the trainer which is a 31/22.....compare ingredient lists Travis and maybe you will find the...

She rarely swims. She will in the summer, but she has never got an infection from this as I monitor it and keep it clean and dry after the swim. It can be spring or fall, and once she is home, it is almost guaranteed to start about a month later. I may try her on a different food to see if it could ...

MTO4Life

Quick question to see if anyone has information on this. Can a dog be prone to ear infections from the food they eat? My bitch seems to get one no matter how diligent I am with keeping her ears clean. I feed her Purina Pro Plan-Performance. My other dog is fine, with no issues. When I send her to th...

Is she coming into heat? Just before girl goes into heat, she will do that (maybe a week leading up to it). Then, it's back to normal until the next heat rolls around. The vet told me that this isn't unusual. This is just what I've observed with my dog. I definately wouldn't rule out an UTI, that is...

Congrats on the placement Rob! Makes is worthwhile when the dogs can wear the blue!

You and your dog have been assaulted. Threatening to batter is assault. Definitely report the human and dog to the cops to start a paper trail so that if it gets out of hand, the cops know what is going on. Do you have a copy of your local laws. Some people don't understand the financial and legal ...
