Anyone know where I can get this done near the Valley? Also what about the vaccine available for precaution? cost? Thanks Bryan If you have an E collar, you can do it yourself. The vaccines are snake species specific. That means one vaccine will NOT protect him against every snake venom. The vaccin...

Neutering does not curb aggressiveness. Aggressiveness is a result of the dog's environment. It is the result of poor training from the owner. Many times, I have seen aggressive dogs that are mimicking their owners. The owner is an aggressive jerk, so the dog copies him/ her. Other times, I have se...

Just like kids, the puppy will learn bad habits from the older dog.

You will just need to re enforce every command and let them both know that disobedience is not an option.

I think Jesus,when he was living, had more important things to worry about than who spoke Aramaic. You either spoke the language and listened to his teachings or you didn't learn the language and relied on translators or remained in the dark. At least in any of the Bibles and religious texts I have...

Too bad I'll have to wait almost a week to shoot it!

It feels like it will be a good fit, better than my Silver Pigeon (which my son has claimed for use in his International Trap league.)

thanks for all the input. I went to a local gunshop and shouldered the berettas... nice guns but the LOP is way too long for me. I ended up falling for a 20ga cynergy field of all things. Never thought I would ever contemplate a cynergy but that thing fit me perfectly. Until you shoot several round...

While I agree that all immigrants should learn the language of the country to which they move, I don't think that type of attitude is one that Jesus would condone. So choose this day whom you shall serve, the Living God or Bahl.

The best way to snake proof your dog is to use an e-collar. Let the dog get wind of the snake, as soon as the dog shows interest in the snake hit the stim button with the highest setting. Then stand on the other side of the snake and call your dog to you. If the dog starts toward the snake, let him ...

On a Mac, we just drag and drop it there.

I think windows works in a similar manner. Otherwise, you could create a folder on your desktop, name it "Pics to Upload" and store them there.

A electronic collar is the best tool for the quickest method to correct that behavior.
Continue to use the whistle. Blow it before using the collar stimulation. Then he will learn the whistle is the warning to obey and the collar stimulation will follow if he fails to obey.

Update: After 4 days, he is longer sitting except when we are preparing his food. Even then, we did not reward his by giving him the food right away.

Puppy is 12 weeks old. We are not using the word "sit" around him. ( very hard to do ) When he sits, we either prop him up on his hind legs or we walk away and he follows. He is already doing better.

sit. Now, every time he comes, his butt goes to the floor. You try to pet him, he sits.

Pup #1-I recently had a bitch dog like this. No great names close up but i had access to accounts, pictures, and personal observation of the two or three generations without "titles".

I ask about two scenerios because obviously there are some outstanding individuals who have never reproduced dogs like themselves. I have noticed that as well. I would rather have a puppy from the next litter of the same parents that produced the Champion Wonder Dog than one of his/ her puppies. I ...

We taught our dogs the command "This way." We use it to change direction or redirect the dogs. I would teach him that command and every time he reaches the limit of where you want him to range tell him "This way." It works for our dogs. They cross over and work closer when we tell them that. If they...

Tracy On Point 11 Weeks.jpg

A puppy's first point.

Her new owner has had her 2 weeks.

A/C Guy

Very nice looking.

That's for mentioning the 6 gauge horse panels.
I've been looking for panels, but the prefabbed dog fencing is extremely expensive. A few sticks of 1x1 steel tubing and horse panels will be a lot cheaper and better than the prefabbed stuff.

I'd give $100 to know what is going on in that brain of his.

He is thinking of all the all the animals hiding out there. Our dogs do the same thing. Intently watching and looking for critters.

One of the females from our litter; courtesy of her new owners.

She had pointed her first quail this week, but they didn't get a picture of it. They're very excited about her potential.

Also how many of you end up selling to pet homes? I have had a couple calls for pet homes but not anyone serious. Guess I have mixed feelings letting a bird dog knowingly get stuck in a fenced yard.

It sounds as if you are having difficulty selling your litter. So instead of answering the obvious questions, let me ask you for more info. How many pups did you have? How many males? How many are sold? How much are you asking for them? How old are they? List their pedigrees. Post the actual ads for...

At 8 1/2 weeks my pointer puppy was 8.5 lbs. He appears to be growing well and is a very happy energetic pup. He looks to me to be way too thin. Ribs and hips visable etc. I feed him a little over 1/2 cup of Purina Pro Plan 2x a day. I don't want to over feed him and I don't want a chubby pup, but ...

Our Duke did that when he was a pup. He was the alpha pup in his litter and when we got him, he would pee every 10' (it seemed). We even joked about it because he would run back in the house and drink as much water as possible (we called it "filling up his tank") and then run outside to pee/ mark. H...

I'm just wondering at what age do you start doing bird intro and gun intro? No one can answer that question. There is no magic number or age at which all GSP's start to hunt. How old will the puppy be when you get it and how old will it be when you try to hunt her? If the pup is confident, take it ...

Many trainers use a second cord under the belly to do as you described. Another method is to use a 10 foot cord, it goes from the collar, along the back, loops around the girth, tie a knot, then back to the trainer. That way you only need to keep the one cord. You can then control her back end and k...

A/C Guy

Check cord?
E collar?

Work on obedience maybe.

You will have to try a few different ideas to see what works.

Most young dogs equate a drive in the car with going to the vet, so naturally, they are afraid. We make it a point to take our young dogs in the car to do fun stuff like playing at the park or swimming in the river. Since your dog is already afraid, I would get him some birds. Put the birds in the c...

No tricks or studies will lead me to believe that animals and birds are intelligent, as we know it. If dogs were actually intelligent, we wouldn't have to spend all the days and hours training them, we could just show them once or twice and they would know what we want. Just like people.

Our Britts are the same way, they chase and retrieve shot birds like their life depends on it. But they do not care for bumpers.

It would help if you listed your hometown, then people could give you specific answers and not generalizations.
Are you hunting in a boat?
Open water? or ponds?
Streams? Rivers?
Hunting in blinds?
What state? Etc.
Generally, in cold climates and big water, a Chessie would be best.
