Back to puppy nutrition for minute. ... I had read somewhere that too much protein at early development could cause overly rapid bone growth and joint issues.

for an average 2 day AKC walking trial how many acres of grounds would be necessary for 1/2hr gundog stakes? I'm thinking single course.

Yes, the North Florida GSP Club FT @ Masaryktown in Feb is horseback, as are most of the Mid Florida Brittany Club FTs.

A lot of the leaseholders down here won't allow horseback trials.

When you get your short list together, make a point of actually going to the kennel & meeting the people (and dogs) behind the name.

All the internet recommendations in the world aren't equal to at least one in-person visit.

What I've done in the past is put neosporin on is, but a piece of gauze on the wound then wrap it in vet wrap. This is the stuff that sticks to itself. I usually stand with the dog for a few minutes and if it tries to eat it off, I tell them NO. We've done that as well. However, we use PetFlex No C...

Correct, you have to pass 4 legs in retriever test or 4 in pointer tests to earn a title. However, the AKC has passed a new title that is available to certain breeds.
