My opinion (and I am rarely so harsh) is that you have messed up big time and you are bringing puppies into the world with a potential disadvantage rather than planning the litter carefully. Are both dogs perfect? If not you can expect that the things you dislike will be even more extreme but possi...

Actually the previous post makes a nice segway to my news. Evo has been recalled several times (my dog was NOT sick and I doubt the salmonella would bother him much but...) and all the stores within an hour or so have pulled it off the shelves with no restocked date as of this time. Had tried two o...

Just buy and feed your dog whole corn, $6 for 50lbs.

How does all the singing work for you when hunting

Georgia Boy

Do an intro on land first and get the dog excited. If that doesn't work at 2 years old I would forget about hunting the dog. That is the goal right, or is the OP just wanting the dog to swim for recreational purposes. I regularly put 5 month old puppies on ducks, if it is that big of a concern tape ...

Georgia Boy

You can even try throwing Cheetos or cheese puffs in the water and let him splash around eating them. I love thinking like this. It's slightly outside the box, but it's aimed in exactly the right direction. Do things that give your dog a good reason to want to swim...to be in the water. The good th...

Put a live duck out there and if the dog has any prey drive at all it will take over. We did it last weekend with a dog at our seminar that couldn't swim at all. I literally thought for a few seconds it might drown. It was splashing and splashing but going no where, just treading water. finally it s...

I helped host another 2 day training seminar last weekend down in South Georgia.
Here is a short clip someone sent me of my young female working on her blind retrieve.

I think it's an excellent piece of advice. That undesirable noise in the blind is a training issue, just like any other undesirable act. A hunter/trainer who needs to effectively manage such behavior must have enough self discipline to pay attention to his/her dog enough to effectively train throug...

If you are worried try a fence

Georgia Boy

Don't spay until the dog is mature, at least 18 months. DO some research on the subject and you will see early spay/neuter causes many problems.. Having a litter will have no affect on your dogs hunting ability.

If you are going to use your dog for upland and water fowl you will probably have to just buy both books or dvd. The best thing to do would be join your local NAVHDA group and attend some training days, experience is the best teacher. When you join you will get their "green book" which covers the ba...

I am in GA and we train all summer long, just have to be smart about it. I have, and tend to train versatile dogs so I am training for multiple things not just pointing. Early mornings and late evening for field work, after that we will move into the shaded woods for the forest work and water work i...

When he begins to point on scent instead of sight I bet the barking will stop

On the pea less side of the whistle Two short for here, which means come and sit in front of me. One short for turn, change direction. One long is usually used when they are out of sight, it means come back around for a visual so I can cast in preferred direction or at least know I am going the righ...

Bitches cycles vary, there is no guarantee they will stand, much less conceive at the same time. I have done repeat breedings and have seen this first hand.

I am out tonight hunting vermin with her, so will let you know how we get on.

What do you all call vermin?

I could tell she was not an experienced swimmer with the front feet out of the water

Georgia Boy

Thanks for the feedback. I spoke with an "expert" today on the Alpha and will probably take the plunge on one soon. I am trying to find out if there will be a 2nd Gen any time soon or will it just be upgrades.

Georgia Boy

ezzy, were you using momentum? It is the others that have fed both and are claiming feeding less that I am really wanting quantification on. How much less? I have fed EVO to my high energy needs dog and I fed 4-5 cups of EVO compared to 7-8 cups Proplan/Sportmix blend per day with weight gain resul...

I dont necessarily care about the maps but I like to be able to see where I have been and the dogs too. From what I understand the SD does not have this capability, is that correct?

Georgia Boy

For those of you that have the new Garmin Alpha GPS E-Collar combo what do you think? I have read mixed reviews and have heard about a delay with the e-collar correction.

Did you do all the Masonry as well? Man it turned out great, my only other question is are you going to insulate the metal portion? Yes I did the concrete, block and tile work as well, literally everything. The metal portion is insulated with 2 1/2" of foam insulation between the outside metal and ...

If you had to figure labor and materials I imagine it would be rather expensive. Thankfully I could do all the work myself or it would not have been possible

Bruce lives in TN now and has not bred any dogs for several years that I know of.

The doors with the spring hinges are very loud. When we built our most recent kennel we went with the easy doors. I am building custom shrouds to go around them and adding guillotine doors on the inside.

Here is Diemo and Alma, my two young dogs that I am working with.

Georgia Boy

Take a look at Yildiz if you can get them in your area

Georgia Boy

He will be used as a flusher and retriever in the field but our main hunting with him will be opossum, coon, fox, bobcat, coyote, badger, boar and bear.

Georgia Boy

Thanks, he fits in well here and is a lot of fun hunting.

Today Diemo starts his training with Force Fetch

That pretty well describes them. Diemo is out of Serbian dogs, double bred on Lok Aluminium, multiple time champion and international champion on badger, fox, boar, bloodtracking as well as GP tested.

Here are a couple pics of my DJT, Diemo. He is 11 months old now and maturing into a real nice dog. We are getting ready to start some serious work with him this spring. http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy151/mschlapa/3ded0a1a-13ec-4e6e-8a31-34b39a40ed96_zps682dcb4f.jpg [url=http://s787.photobucke...

Finally got back to work in the kennel after taking a break to care for the litter of pups and then run one of my pups in VJP. Here is what the dog compartments turned out like. All in need to do now is finish inside walls and run my permanent electrical circuits. http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/...
