My guess -The head GSP . The body I am at a loss . Long neck ? I hope she finds a good home. She has a sweet look about her .

Max2

Congrats on your new pup ! I love them liver roan shorthairs. Can't be much of help with picking a name but i am sure one will come to you ! Enjoy !

Max2

off topic : Saw a dog last night where the woman bought a GSP because she wanted a lap dog. :( Poor dog. Around the training center here it is often quoted " Nice dog just a shame it did not get to pick it's owner"! Huh ?? That explains it ! :D When i got my Jax dog (My first gun dog) at the recomm...

Max2

Just an add on and just my observations I don't think your breeder would care if you asked to make a change and get a male. If they could they would say yes and if they could not they would say it's to late .Most folks always seem to want a female . I think. I bet for breeders it is easier finding h...

Good morning guys. My wife bought a 1 1/2 year old Irish setter. The dog spent her entire life in a pen outside so she doesn’t know any commands. What command should she learn first? How are you making out with the new pup ? Just reading through here this evening and it appears everyone feels the s...

I wouldn't hesitate on taking a male dog. I have had dog's my whole life .As a kid the family dogs and later in life as I got my own dogs. Any male we ever had never had issue with marking in the house. Some were neutered and some were not. I think if you bring a strange dog into your house or your ...

I saw that name up there ( "Max" )

Had to come take a look see -
Very nice ! Please give Max a head rub and a couple crackers from a guy up north who say's -Good Job !

Max2

The pic say's it all ! You can see the wheels spinning in the little guy's head ! Nothing does it more for "me" then seeing it come together. Good stuff !

Max2

I always love these type photo's of the athletes !

I was thinking the same exact thing ! Awesome pic ! The little guy is concentrating .

Max2

Geeze folks I wish you people would put a state for your location. When someone posts I often wonder where they are located. Perhaps if uncomfortable about posting town at least a state could possibly be included.

Max2

I would say pick "your" breed and work with them. I feel any dog bred to hunt could be a possibility. I never cared for the term boot licker or heel shiner :( Though I was often guilty of calling my dog "my heel shiner"...... but oh contrar :D he/they worked exactly as I had hoped they would. Close ...

Max2

Rest in peace Winchester. Very sorry for your loss.

Max2

Here in NY a water bottle had always worked fine for us. I once purchased a camelback and purchased a valve for it to control the water flow. A camelback I think required we humans to suck the water out of it. What the valve purchase allowed was on/off of water flow. I then purchased a vest that the...

They sure can be characters

Nice pic's !

I finally met the little girl on Sunday. The pictures I have been receiving made her appear much bigger. When I got to my nieces house and saw this tiny little pup in her crate I started laughing. My niece looked at me as if to say why are you laughing. It was more joy then anything to see such a li...

Max2

A tip i picked up on another site was Murphy's all natural oil soap. The type used on wood floors. A cap full mixed in a small bucket of warm water and then wipe the stinky areas after they were hosed off . My max loved the stinky stuff :D The stinkier the better in his opinion. Nothing worse then a...

Max2

Your decision

You have to decide what you want.

Max2

It does no harm to shoot a bird you have bumped and the dog hasn't seen. I wouldn't know why it would if the dog truly wasn't even working in the vicinity of where the bird flushed. Except for the possibility of reworking that bird with pup. I can not tell you how many times( impossible :D ) Max wo...

Max2

Sometimes - not all the time, a handler-flushed bird can be marked. If so, it provides you with the opportunity to work with your dog as a team to relocate this bird. This in return can provide your dog with even more wisdom/savvy going forward which = more shooting opportunities. exactly ! couldn'...

Max2

[quote="Featherfinder"] There's no rush. They are only pups for such a short time. Enjoy the journey. There not dog's for very long either :( . I am indebted and so glad that I was given the intro to this world of gundog's. To the o/p I always had birds and a johny house to keep them in on my ground...

Max2

In fairness and all things considered I live where I hunt. Your situation sounds very much like mine about 9 yrs ago. My max was about seven months old when I shot my first woodcock over him and we proceeded to harvest a number of w/c his first season . We tried so hard to get a solid point on grous...

Max2

See ~ I knew you folk's would come through for me :D & yes I will update this thread from time to time. Everyone is tickled to death currently. My sister & brother-in-law went and met Miss Luna and said she is a cute-t. I went to the local Petco yesterday to pick up a little care package to send dow...

Max2

Sounds like if they put the time in they should end up with a nice new family member.

Max2

Aussie pups are possibly the cutest creatures on the planet. I hope that's not the reason they chose this breed. :D The pup is quite cute as pup's go :D Both are working professional's & are sticklers for research. They have a nice fenced yard and hubby works from home office. Let's breath some lif...

Max2

Ok dog folks. My niece messaged me that she & her husband got a new pup. An Australian Shepherd. I think they are an agility breed ? Was going to google but decided to ask the dog pro's over here on G~D Forum. Been kinda slow over here lately.
What say you ?

Max2

I wish I could say something positive , not to impressed with harris or his dogs I always live by the old adage ~ If I have nothing nice to say I say nothing at all. To the o/p look's like a fine specimen . My introduction to this game was behind a Guardrail bred dog. Impressive to say the least ! ...

Just kidding kid . I do really feel your pain and ~ "BELIEVE ME" ! I know where your coming from....

Max2

Don F thank you for responding to my post. I always read and appreciate what you have to offer to the forum. Please re-read my first question. I feel comfortable with how max was initially introduced to the gun. Having hunted probably 4 yrs with no issue. By not getting many responses ~ I feel that ...

In my old age I must say I am more of a dog fan then a fireworks fan :D I feel for the stressed out animals. In my neck of the woods on the fourth of July I don't think I heard a pop these past couple years. - On the fourth. :D I love Independence Day and what it stands for and proudly display my fl...

Max2

Thank You & yes you can feel the percussion. It stink's actually . If they touch off one of those exploding targets let me say this "you know it" :( The fact that my last dog was gun broke has me concerned. I used to leave him out in his kennel while I was gone for the day so who knows what happened...

Max2

How would some of you deal with gun intro if you had no control over gun noise ? If you were in a situation where you just never knew when it could happen ? Say you were hang'n/training with a new pup and out of nowhere lot's of shooting and noise. I ask because I would like to get a new dog but liv...

Love'm up & take him out !
It will work ~

Good ~ Great stuff !

[quote="Featherfinder"]cj, That is why there are SOOOO many pointing dog owners that should have flushers. This is not a put-down of the glorious flushing breeds. I could not disagree more . Folks should have the dog that does it for them. Ezzy ~ Your last post makes much more sense to me then any o...

Featherfinder ~ The box pictured was made for me by the person who introduced me to gun dogs. I thank you for the compliment and I will inform him when I speak to him of your kind words on his workmanship. Apparently he has made a number of them over the years as his dog box was identical. At the ti...

Max2

Here's a homemade one ! It was made up for my first shorthair and retired to the living room for an end table after he passed. Worked great his whole life. Oak 1 X material for framing with 1/4 inch oak plywood. He loved it . http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa385/chrismax2/49d8935b-ee63-4b08-871...

Max2

Sorry to hear. They become such a part of our lives and you were able to give her a great one.
Sorry for your loss.

Max2

I kinda like the little guy. Tail or no tail :D The picture makes him look much older then 5 weeks. The coffee mug does bring him into perspective . ~ Comparing his head to the size of the cup. He's a beautiful pup ! If I were there I'd be trying to hug on that little guy and enjoying the odd yet pl...

Max2

Do yourself a favor and get to the bottom of this ( ASAP) If you are not there to monitor ~ other more sinister things could be in play. I will send you a PM about my past experience with a pup trying to climb out of his (pen) kennel. The main reason I will never have another dog. & it sucks ! I am ...

Max2

To the o/p ~ I will let you know in a year or so. ~ I am recently ~ 1st time in a very long time dogless and not digg'n it

Thank goodness for sites like this that I can come to and enjoy by living through others !

My emotions have been reeling as of late memories with smiles & tears. This my tribute to a very special friend.Max came into my life and it all got better.

My dog would bark at a hose bib when he was thirsty. It was especially funny when I had him on an estimate with me. I would meet people outside of their home to talk about a job . They would see Max sitting in the truck and say it was ok for me to let him out while we talk. I would and if he saw a h...

Max2

I could see my current GSP doing that.

little pita that he can be !
Good stuff ! Made me start the day with a smile.

Max2

They are a pain right in the butt ! Both my shorthairs have gotten into them one time. I can't say if my first one would have gone in again as he is gone . But my current one has encountered more then one since his first face full. Here is a picture of his second encounter. http://i1195.photobucket....

Any areas near where you hunt that were recently logged off ? This past fall or summer? Try hitting those little piles of tops that may be laying on the side of the hill( or rolling hills in your case : ) where the sun will be setting this afternoon. I like to hit them with wind right our kissers . ...

I would guess a point at 275 yrds on open ground would look similar to what I look at about 55-60 yrds . I must be honest I work my dog how he works good for us as a team here in upstate NY~but~ I really enjoy watching your prairie dogs running their hearts out. I have only seen it on TV or in video...

Max2

Said before... range of a dog is a personal preference... 100-300yd range I wouldn't consider a bootlicker. A dog that never leaves shotgun range would be my idea of a bootlicker. If you want to start a war on the net, call someone's dog a "bootlicker". It's a highly derogatory and insulting term t...
