First I have far less experience than those that have responded. When you only train a dog every 5 or 10 years, you just don't see enough dogs to not make new mistakes with each dog. That being said I don't teach sit till later on because of the problems it can cause. I also error on the side of not...

They usually have most of their hight by one, and most of there weight and muscle by 2. Some will continue to change a little after that

greg jacobs

Welcome,
And thanks for your service.

greg jacobs

Welcome from the hounds and i.
Good choice on breed also.

Pictures?

Nice Don.
Stormy definitely got caught in a unique stance.

greg jacobs

The breed club and akc allows DK's to be registered as gsp's. Thus they allow black to be registered since some are black. However they don't want black to become the prominent color so they haven't allowed black in the show ring. The field trial people don't add DK's to their lines so you generally...

Reif Vom Trochen Bach's pedigree is heavy on KS dogs. Frank has heavily titled dogs. They seem to be closer working dogs from what I've seen.

greg jacobs

He may widen and chest drop a little more and gain a little more as he does that.
He isn't skinny. I can't see any ribs in that picture. With a shorthair it's alright to see a little rib.

Turned and resized. Hope that's ok

Hight by 1 year
Weight by 2 years.

I like to feed twice a day. Less in the morning. And feed some before hunts.
One eats 4 cups, total
Two eat 2.5 cups, total
Measure the food
Weigh the dog
the bag is a guide line, but all dogs are different.

Hope you didn't want something simple.

Don't really think even at what I paid that a breeder is making money. My last pup, took two trips to Georgia and ended up with 2 pups. I'm sure those 2 pups were 5 or 10 thousand a piece. I paid $1200. Thinking I got the best end of the deal. One of the breeders I know trains and guides. I'm thinki...

greg jacobs

My dogs are at about 6 or 8 mph depending on the terrain. By 25 to 28 miles they are tired. Usually don't hunt them more than 4 hours. If I'm going to hunt all day I only put one down then switch them out.

greg jacobs

I've heard of some pretty good prices on FT washouts. Often it's not enough range which most foot hunters don't want anyway. Well bred and partly trained.

Sorry looks like I just repeated Ray

greg jacobs

Paid $25. For my first shorthair, backyard litter. Paid $1200 for my last, really nice litter. My last is probably a better dog and much nicer looking but I harvested a lot of birds over that first old girl even tho she was a little on the ugly side. Pretty sure my income hasn't grown 48 times in 44...

Having ten of the same sex will keep the number at 10 . Otherwise the larger ones you have seen on you tube may be better

Yup.

Thanks for taking in the dog.

Sorry to hear that Don. Hope the last year has eased the pain for you and the dogs.

My guess is it was done by people that had a real need to win. Not sure they believed they were going to win in AA all breed trials but they probably did. At the very least they wanted to win in breed specific trials. CJ had a good point about what it did for the gsp breed. I think the American gsp'...

My last pup was out of her X-pen in two weeks....she cleared all 48" with ease, no climbing just jumping! They are a waste of money for Field Bred Dogs.... Crate training is critical to house breaking and to provide a means to transport the dog and take it overnight anywhere.... Good Luck 10 week o...

greg jacobs

No problem here. I have the index page bookmarked. It goes staight there.

greg jacobs

I think cj's suggestions are good. Some gsp's become escape artists. But it should work for a while. Eventually the pup will figure out that the top of the crate is half way to the top of the xpen.

Welcome. And
Thanks!!! for your Service.

Folks - There will ALWAYS someone with a really nice dog(in their opinion) that they feel is worthy of reproducing. Many times folks want another just like the one they have and other times folks may want to combine the best features of two dogs. T If the two dogs are both registered purebreds of t...

Greg Your pedigrees might show some pretty interesting DNA also....Cj I'm sure my white girl is going to show some white pointer. Many of us know what was done and why. Not suppose to talk about that are we. And as far as paper goes what are your real thoughts. All are from AKC master hunter breedi...

greg jacobs

Haven't read anything on it. Some of those need cell tower connections. Does that one?
Your dog can be gun conditioned for sure if you want to go that way.
Didn't know you could put a CD on a mixed breed.

greg jacobs

It's total nonsense to intentionally breed two different breeds of dogs. The pounds are already overflowing with dogs.
Noone here should encourage such a breeding.

greg jacobs

I would sure put at least 2 possibly 3 yrs between pups. Works way better.

greg jacobs

Stopped hunting for 15 yrs. while the kids were so busy with 3 sports each. The two boys and I are back hunting and I have dogs that will get me through 70. Not sure after that. Guess we'll see. Planning to have one more in 5 yrs or so that would get me through to 75 but don't want to have a dog tha...

I always use 2.5 sec update the batteries last a couple days 3 or 4 half days. That works for me. Mine seems more like 6 or 7 seconds. It's fast enough that I watch it for a couple seconds to see if they start moving. If they do it was a bathroom break.

greg jacobs

I'm in central WA. In the chukar hills between 4-5:1 down in the flat lands they roll pretty good and it's 7-10:1 often hitting 20-35 miles.

greg jacobs

Had one follow me around in a quail gully. Every time I flushed some it would chase them. They sure hit the brush at full speed when being chased. Just about shot it, was about ready to pull the trigger when it tried to grab the one I was going to shoot at. They try to catch my pigeons also during t...

Nice video.
Made me think of Doug and Stitch. Couldn't find the HBV website.
Did he get a pup from you a while back.

I've had a lot of trouble rubbing my gsp's raw around there front legs. Seems most are lab shaped. Neck doesn't fit, to wide between the front legs, barrel shaped instead of tuck up at the belly. After you rub them raw they are down for a week. Anyone find vests that work on a gsp.

The 320 and 430 both work with the new collars. Obviously tracking only. Not sure the 220 will though. Even had to update my astro when I added a tt15. Couldn't get the tt 15 to hook up. Grabbed the box and put everything back in the box to return the "defective" collar. Flipped the papers out of th...

I do it at 3 months. Use my older dog. I start with a cap gun. Switch to a shot gun with the lead taken out. Quite a bit quieter than a regular round. When I pull the shotgun out the older dog gets all excited so the pup thinks good things are going on. Then switch to reg 12 gauge. When you use an e...

Yup. My last is sired by Sam Man.

You gave him the life he loved.
To spend time with you.
Out chasing birds with you.
And in return he gave you great memories.
Great times that you will never forget.
