Oh yeah, you have the first NAVHDA prized Shitzu right?

Seriously, how did the training go?

Reading this over my lunch hour today must have cursed me. I came home to Boomer whining and when he got the chance he was licking Turbo :( I thought we had till September to deal with it. Course she doesn't seem to be bleeding yet so it could be awhile. He seems to know a couple of weeks ahead. Gl...

figured. I ave no trouble doing that. just didnt want him batty before a test. Gotta love it .... :roll: :lol: I actually think I will never do this again. I will either own a male or female. It is just to hard on the male to have to deal with a female he isnt breeding. But until I alter one of the...

So, probably a silly question, but I need to ask it. Do those heat cycle masking scents work? I have a male and female living together. Female is not of breeding age and has not been approved yet to breed. First heat cycle went fine. It was tough but we got it done by rotating dogs.But male lost wei...

Ms. Cage, here is Max's duck search at Hugo

Munster

Yes, the water looked very nice. Wish I could show the picture on the Garmin of the duck search my male put down. It was amazing.

This is a very nice place to train and test. I will be running my female here for the Oberlaender in October.

Munster

Thank you, I am proud of them. The work hard.

Took a drive up to Hugo, Mn to meet with some friends and get some dog training in. I feel fortunate to have good and knowledgeable people to train with. It was a beautiful and very eventful day with a lot of good dog work by all the dogs. Enjoy the pictures/ Begining of the duck search http://i1360...

Munster

We have an HZP in October that we are trying to get ready for. Yes, we have worked hard. I have had to take a step back a time or 2.

Thanks

Munster

Had a friend take a few pics of baja while I was training. She is coming along well and I think we may be done with FF. This weekend I hope to kill a duck on the water for her to see where she is with that. The biggest thing I was wanting to concentrate on was the presentation. Max had scores of 190...

I ran into a lady in Wi that has some fine looking working line Goldens. I can look up her info if you are serious.

I dont think you should have to use a collar to teach a dog to kennel. Try teaching her to kennel with out it if u can. Make it a positive place. You clearly do not understand the system. +1 AND Evan Graham Smart Fetch! my 2c Sooooooooo, because someone doesnt agree that you need to collar conditio...

Joe, very glad to hear he is on the mend. I bet that you have been a wreck! Keep us posted.

Munster

Ha, reminds me of a sign I had seen some years back

3 rules of bird hunting with me.
Rule number 1. Dont shot the dog
Rule number 2. dont shoot me
Rule number 3. If you break rule number 1 be ready to break rule number 2.

Always thought it was cute.

Munster

The dog has the nose to find birds, so give him his head to find them. I love this advise! I cant stand to hunt with "Hackers". You all know what I am talking about. People that are constantly yelling or whistling the dog! I dont talk to my dogs while hunting or training. Hackers ruin great hunts! ...

Munster

Mine will rip down curtains trying to get flies or any flying bug! Lightning bugs are fun to watch as the young dogs try to chase them down.

Munster

I'd advise against getting two at the same time. Lots of potential drawbacks to that and little if any positive. Google littermate syndrome (and it doesn't matter if the dogs are littermates - this applies to any puppies around the same age raised together). I've dealt with some of those issues bec...

Munster

Dalton,find a NAVHDA chapter close to you and go watch some dogs. Not sure how many SM's you will see that way. I am not sure of any TX. breeders either. But, if you chose this breed, I will help you with a breeder. But make sure you know what oyu are getting into with these dogs. I know to many tha...

Munster

I haven't heard a lot about them. Are they good both upland and waterfowl hunting dogs? Do they have good longetivity and how big do they usually get? Thanks, Dalton Yes, they are good at both upland and waterfowl. They are also outstanding tracking dogs for wounded game. We use ours for everything...

Munster

Small MUnsterlanders. Hard hunters but very calm in the house.

Munster

I think it makes no difference. Concept is the same.

Munster

I thought it looked good. But, there was way to many commands and way to much talking going on. 1 command and enforce. Basically the dog hears "over" Bla Bla Bla bla. looks like he is having a good time. now, get a roll of duct tape. :P BTW, I love that a youngman is being mature enough to take cont...

Munster

I know it isnt an original name, but Max is a very powerful male name and I love it. But, you only get to use it once. I never name a dog with the same name of a deceased dog. It is bad Mojo.

Hey that a good one. Mojo

Now thats what I call opening the door instead of beating your head against it!

Munster

I think it is freaking great!BUt why would you want to use a tethered pigeon on a dog like that? Let it fly. Why risk him catching?

Munster

Cant help you, But I am bummed for you. I like my birds and it would bum me out that I lost the babies. I am bummed now because we have passed the hatch date and no hatch.

Not sure how long to wait before I call it a loss.

Its always nice when those vets take us newbies under their wings. I have heard of Larry, and all good things.

Munster

Jarbo, you doing most your training solo? That can be tough!

Heartland folks are very welcoming and i am sure oyu will just need your dog, self and your normal equipment. Keep us posted on how the taining is going!

the dog has to know YOU wont tolerate fighting Yep. Whup his butt or he will hurt someone or some other dog. Could make him meaner too..... Very true. Sometime aggression breeds aggression.

Munster

Indeed, there is noting fun about F.F.. I am on my second dog and feel pretty lost at times. You take steps forward and 50 backwards. But you are right. When the light comes on, it is great!
It does build a better relationship with the dog too...........as long as everything is fair.

Not a bad thought really. I an see heeler face. The OP's handle would seem this is cow country?

OP. what are the more common breeds to your area?

That is what i was thinking, but didnt want to look it up. Problem would be that with a rare breed like that, I would think they would be looking for it.

Munster

Im going for a young Mink. More common here.

Atleast it didnt get in!

Munster

chiggers from the grass or some other grass dwelling demon?

Dont think it would be advantex. That would be more in the area of application.

Yes, with force fetch, when we feel like we have a victory, so does the dog. i do think in that picture she was very proud of herself. Whenever I would place an object of any weight in front of her she would act as though she couldnt pick it up. I would have to "show her" that she could and then eve...

I have been working with Baja for about 5 weeks now on FF. I think things are going pretty well so far. I have definitely hit some bumps in the road. Still have a ways to go. Still have to add more locations and drags etc. I have had her bring just about everything to me I can think of. Havent had h...

I was better off thinking f the birds as nasty, dirty, disease ridden flying rats. Now i have to think of them as having personalities! :roll:
Guess I will have a couple more pets hanging around.
