anyone have chickens at their place? if so, how did the dogs respond? my wife wants chickens and is worried the 2 dogs will do whatever they can to get to them. I am not so sure, cause they will just lay on the porch 2 ft from their dogfood bowl and watch the blackbirds eat their food. anyone have a...

we have an 8 month old male gsp... last week a buddy gave us his 12 mo old male gsp, so that makes 2. They are getting comfortable together somewhat, except when the younger one makes the older one feel like hes the "little buddy" in the same prison cell!!! another thing Ive noticed is that our 1st ...

I am going with a Classic 70 or 90, need 2 collars... who has the best pricing? any recommendations?

well... I asked for it and yall gave it to me, so thanks for everyones responses... I do think the $$$ is higher then I would like, but where do you draw the line? The guy works with a lot of field trial dogs and I feel he is well respected among those I have talked to... the price includes training...

I just sent my dog to the "trainer" for 1 month for the 1st time.... he is a 6month old gsp. How many days of that month should I expect him to get training/attention, in your opinion? $700/month

ahhh... thought my dog was a freak or something! guess its the norm. and btw, he got a whif of a female dog this weekend and couldnt maintain his sanity! this put his cravings for poop to the back burner... he has hit puberty it appears. nothing was safe, we had to quarantine him from the kids yeste...

thx for the replys. We live in the Phoenix AZ area and it doesnt get that cold here, comparatively speaking to rest of the US... basically, it doesnt snow where I live. My wife and I really dont want our home to become a "dog house"... one that smells like dogs when others come over. So for those th...

where does your dog sleep at night? Inside or outside? weve been putting him in the kennel/crate at nights and let the kids take turns having him in their rooms. does anyone leave their dog outside overnight?

other then the obvious, the other concern I have is that once he hit the scent of the crap, nothing else mattered! I know hes very young, but really he was oblivious to us or anything else... what a trip

whats up with that? 3 times I ve taken the pup out he has found horse crap and gobbles it down! the fresher the happier he is... its like gsp crack or something, please tell me this is a "phase" they pass thru and its over soon... anyone have a similar deal happen?

I am new to this site, we just picked up a GSP born on Aug 10th... I grew up with a dog until I left the house, seems like one would always find its way to our home... so pets arent new, but I've taken a different approach to the new dog. Its gonna be a family dog and hunter, hopefully. I just want ...

we have a 3 month old GSP and want to start getting him out in the field... I would think that he needs some protection like boots or something, or is that overkill? we'll take advice... we live in the greater Phoenix AZ area
thanks
