Sometimes we treat with bits of hotdog, the boy gets nasty after that.

Good thing folks have not learned his "brand" it's like when the kids were little, you can crack one off and pick up the nearest kid and exclaim, "someone needs a change".

Fart jokes, makes me feel 10 years old again

With coyote mating season coming up I had been wondering if my boy will run off a search for one if he smells one in heat.

aulrich

Just posting the all clear, but I guess I was lucky a neighborhood dog got it and it turned into pnumonia spend the past month locked in the house. So I guess the bug was already floating around the area,and that is how the boy got it.

aulrich

No snot at all, not sure how you would tell if a dog has a feaver (dry nose?) But for the most part he seems the equivalent of me with a cold that is trailing off. I am assuming KC is the dog equivalent of the common cold. I am just about 1 week into it so - I'll continue to monitor - If it goes on ...

So I think I am dealing with kennel cough, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennel_cough. On Sunday I was really conserned and just about took him to the vet, but by Monday he was keeping food down and his energy seemed normal. At this point he does the odd cough in a relaxed state, if he gets worked up...

I added a OU 12ga to my inventroy this year, nice to carry around, shoots better than me. But a little hairy with 3" steel goose loads(down side of a light gun) Added a limbsaver pad that helped but I do have to cut the stock since it is too long atm.

I use the flank half hich and that works real well. just over the weekend I had something I read pop back into mind. I think it was Hundsmiths "figure 8", but basically it's a half hitch over the muzzle, mine always want to know where the end if the leash is but after he pitched the initial fit it w...

That might depend on context, my pup(8 month old LM) decided on his own he was not ready to get into the truck and went for a run, he nearly gave me a heart attack for two reasons, one his little run took him the better part of a mile away and onto unknown quality ice. his little elipse got smaller ...

I myself have pet allergies, but over the years I had noticed that with dog anyway it was very breed specific. Labs and goldens would trigger me almost immediatly and strongly, but others would not. So when I came home from work that fine day, to my wife bubbling over a dog she saw at the dog part w...

Should be fine, fruit wood should be fruit wood.

It's just like parenting these days the other kids my kid bad. OK maybe not, but words would have passed.

aulrich

How controled is the pups access to food and water, if you control when it goes in you can predict it coming out. Some folks I know feed them, then put them in the crate for an hour then take them out. The book "How to house train your dog in 7 days" used that as one of the pillars of that method. I...

Is that a Large Munsterlander (your web site inticates your into Small munsters) or can smalls come with black or did the camera play tricks with the light.

aulrich

You owe me a monitor cleaning

, my pup is developing the same attitue. He takes it as a personal afront if we leave the house with guns and not him.

aulrich

OK I think I am getting close

Pretty sure com1 com2 are the two channels, and NC_ and NO_ are normally closed and normally open. Now most other units have a learn button, but I am not seeing it. I do have a note in with the vendor to see if there is any documentation.

aulrich

So oddly enough the 4 channel remote and reciveres I got off of e-bay did not have manuals like I expected, and interpreting the back of the reciever is out of my depth, though I did figure out where the power goes :), this is the unit I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/330796761413?ssPageName=STRK:ME...

Then for now keep the treats going, but give some (good boy first then the treat) that way the good boy gets related to treat and you can eventually get him off the treat. You need to engrain that good things happen when I go to the boss. I have had mine since 8 weeks (just over 7 months now) I star...

They got them should have guessed though depending on brokerage i'll I should break even.

Thanks I forgot about them, I need a couple more for sure

I have the bug as well, at this point all I have are parts on the way. There was an addendum to the make your own remote launcher where you used cheap remotes and receivers I found these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Channel-Wireless-RF-Remote-Control-with-2-Receiver-/320990827465?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0...

I am a noob, so I am just asking , but is this a situation for "flush on command". But yea big bush ruffs seem to use thier feet more than thier wings, How was the hatch this year on your side of the country. In Northern Saskatchewan the hatch was good from what I saw during summer on vacation, but ...

I am slightly behind where you are, my first pup still needs to be shot over. I am going to hold out for wild as long as I can, but I have some pigeons that I don't want to winter so they will have to go at some point. And also along with exposure to birds exposure to differnet types of terrain is i...

aulrich

My pup was not showing much point at all a month ago (just over 6 months now) but some wild birds changed that. but the funny part is we have not found any wilds while hunting, they are in the off leash area by my house. TheOffLeash.JPG My point is there could be some oddball pockets of wild birds r...

aulrich

Speaking for my set up that was probably true, but I have added proper grit, oystershell and no more bird seed(turkey finisher pellets of all things). I think I still need to tweak the nest boxes, enclose them a bit more, they mostly look like bookshelves.

aulrich

The Yip thing did work for us for a while, now at 6 months that and jumping have come back some (I had expected that for a "teenager" dog) we are re-establishing the rules again. Another one we did was to stop playing with the pup when he got nippy, when mine gets over excited it comes back. But tha...

aulrich

Ouch, mine is just about 6 months I guess I have bought the last bag of that.

aulrich

Hey topher how do you keep water for them in the winter, a heated bowel or do you just put water out for them every day.

aulrich

That sounds like a plan, there is no pigeon playing this fall but once the pup is ready for finishing work next spring/summer i should have a full flock of my own homers and can move the brood stock to someone else.

aulrich

I suspect it a fall thing, as I understand it with the drop in light in the fall the nesting really slows down, I just started my koop end of July and really was not halfway proper till August, I had some eggs on the floor but now that I am set up only a pair of disposable rollers are nesting(i'll p...

At first I was thinking are pointers even wired for that sort of work (high contact) but then it occured that for versatiles in Europe boar would be an expected quarry so yea it should be there in the genes somewhere, but I would I think you would need some strong Euro blood, I don't see my LM doing...

If I was south of the border I would have too but cross border shipping and brokerage is point less on a simple item, lots of time it's worth it but his time it just was not. 10 bucks in t's and scrap wood.

aulrich

Watch out pigeon fanciers don't look too kindly on dog trainers so bring up the topic with care, mind you racers tend to be the most throat of the bunch, but that is not saying much. And typically there culls never make it home. Lots of guys cut back there flocks for the winter so you might be able ...

Even before the figure 8 it almost sound like the pup may need some stakeout chaing contitioning, Huntsmith guys as well

aulrich

The boy has really been liking beef soup bones, he can chew on one for days. I have some sheds kicking around he likes the smaller ones. Deer jaw bones, a weathered compleate beef rib (found it hunting) and his bed. Kongs filled with frozed dog food is a treat for him as well. Oh yea his bedding. ba...

aulrich

I ended up with the ptec/plastic version, though I might end up with a drop though version once I have no more prisoner birds.

Beauty! that will work, thanks

OK I am cheap I really dont want to spend money on something that I could make with scrape or little cash. I have seen bobs made out of scrapped aluminum arrows(I don't think I have enough), but are there other options.

aulrich

One kong trick I was taught was to fill it with wet dog food and freeze it. it went from a 2 minute treat to a 20 min treat, the freezing did not work as well with penut butter though, but better than room temp.

aulrich

Are you feeding the same stuff the breeder was, I did not at first and my boy would eat but just nibble through the day, he would eventually eat his allotment. When I finally did track down the right food he changed from a nibbler to a scarfer, it was night and day different.

aulrich

My new guy is not giving too much noise at night in the crate , though I do have to "encourage" him into the crate. I didn't feed him in the crate the first day or two, so I am recovering that negative impression. He is a little nosier after the 2:30 am pee this is his first week with us he is only ...

18 hours to go, but who's counting.

Getting a Large Munsterlander two Fridays from now. First dog ever I can't wait.

Folks have been know to spend tons of cash on hobbies, I use to like photography back in the day, and those shots are making me reconsider the idea that I am getting a new shotgun this year.

I am a noob at this, but I have been reading and watching everything I can get my hands on. and yes they all say for a pointer do not teach sit until whoa is rock solid done. in the perfect start/finish series you see him struggle with a sitter it just complicates things. Basically your setting the ...

Docking happens for differnt reasons for different breeds, as I undrstant it a sheep dog is docked for sanitary reasons.

Too much of a noob myself to have an opinion but this is on my todo list since remote lanchers are too much for me as well.

But this may be useful to you, especially if you already have radios

I am in the same boat, I started noticing with the extended family dogs that some were way easier on me than others. but in recent years I had a chance to hunt with a well trained dog and I got bit(in a good way). So in the end we found that it is the oily dogs like labs that were really bad. So whe...

Allergies had kept me out of the game for all of my life up till now + 8 weeks or so.
