We feed my pups once a day I find when we feed then more then that they begin to have poop issues since the hard kibble doesn't digest as fast as your plain feeds like Mothers Milk Rice or "Unprocessed" foods will we feed 1/2 to 1 cup depending on the age and size of the pup ...Plus it is very impo...

I went ahead and Purchased his DVD on common sense training. I found it extremely interesting including his use of the flank Collar using an older model of the Tritronics
I liked a lot of what I watched both on the DVD & theYoutube

Fat puppies are not healthy Rather to thin then to fat as to much weight can seriously interfere with their growth and put to much stress on growing joints and growth plates. AS long as they are not emaciated as in major indentations between each ribs and hips and back bones protruding out. We just ...

first would be the dam and the Sire of the litter do the BOTH have the desired traits that one would want in their pup. Papers are nice but they are only the frosting to the cake so to speak if the ingredients aren't right then no matter how pretty the frosting {pegigree} is only going to do so much...

It is a double edge sword awesome that the dog got the best in show but bummer for rescues starting in about 9 months when people find out that GSPs require real training much like any pup but they are a hunting working breed

Thay is what the scores in NSTRA are for of people would look at them they could see for themselves where they may need to Polish up thier dogs instead of whining about the score the judge gave them. Look at the over all scores maybe ask What the judge saw and why. Some times that can be tricky when...

It happens females dont take or the male for some reason doesn't want to release semen which believe that one or not a male can hold that part of the process back ( We sat on a reproduction seminar )
Or many reason it can happen
Patience as I am pretty sure he is frustrated over the situation also

I would much rather have a dog a bit under weight and active then pudgy and excerting to much weight on growing joints which they are finding is making those dogs that are genetically predisposed to hip dysplasia worse then if they were kept lean

Wish there were ways to make you feel better over loosing your special friend
BIG CYBER HUG and condolences

I agree 100% they do not grow out of behaviors they grow in to them

How big is the hernia?

And as for the retained testicle I would wait till the dog is fully mature before having him altered.

My next question didn't the breeder of your pup give you any advice on how to handle problems or issues or offer for you to call them for any advice? I go over a whole bunch of stuff with my new puppy buyers from whoa games at dinner to how to deal with the mouthy pups I am much better at talking ab...

He is what we do with pups in the K Nine headstart program https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_ ... 1537593702

sorry some times specially this time of the year the moderators are doing that holiday family stuff and don't have a chance to get to all the posts right away

But we try to get to them

the reason posts do not show up right away for new people as it helps to separate spammers from real posters by us moderators having to read and approve. After you have made 4 posts your posts will start to show up right away

Breeding has a lot to do with it and imprinting I believe has a bunch to help. Got a real good one for you Guy wish you could come down and witness it for yourself :mrgreen: similar breeding and how different pups that have been exposed to the field since 5 weeks are drastically different then pups ...

I just sold a pup this summer to a guy who is a grouse hunter in Ohio. I was just sent a picture yesterday of his pup with her first grouse...ps I live in the Arizona.
My pups are on birds,from the time,they are 5 1/2 weeks old so I do what I can to imprint the pups with hunting for birds

The only time we will put a limited registration on a pup is if there is a problem which of you are a breeder out isn't a matter of if it just a matter of when Like an over bite or an under bite. Other then something like that if people are paying full price for a puppy they get full registration

I sure am glad there are different approaches to training II like the base of Rick Ronnie Smith method modified and modifying from what his Delmar did . West method also had its place in successful method. Those two seem to be a lot behind the dogs that are doing the best

Bob at Desert Pheasant Rec is holding a snake avoidance class Friday the 16th morning He is doing a birthday special so he is only charging 50 dollars a dog

You might try calling some of the local bird dog clubs or preserves and see who they are using for a vet ...Maybe someone might know a vet that is willing to help take care of your pup.

When starting just bring the dog to the end and just hold the check cord so the dog knows it is there but you are not pulling on it ..this way when the dog begins to move or toss a fit you can hold the line straight and when the dog stops the fit you can relax the hold... No the dog isn't going to l...

Shags is correct they want the info of your dog

Spaniel of some sort

The horse has been beat to death and stinks

Another thing to think about is where did you get the pup from were both parents hunters? If BOTH parents where not strong hunters then the pup may not have any true natural desire for birds wired in the genetic being of the dog. I would back off and find what does get the pup excited. Once you find...

If you are having problems try tossing your cookies and opening up a new browser

give the high strung one about half of the easy keepers food.

Biggest thing I would say about building puppies confidence is one you the leader acting continent and when puppy is nervous or scared that you do not reward it by coddling the pup petting holding and telling the pup itidok when it is cared as all you will be doing is rewarding the very behavior you...

Actually Ezzy there is a difference ...I have had enough experienced people make plenty of remarks about the difference in pups that come in from my program versus others. It isn't magic but if you have a program of dogs that are both bird dogs at heart and one allows those pups to explore and learn...

I have fun watching the pups first at about 3 1/2 4 weeks I toss in a dead bird into their whelp area to smell taste and even carry around the bird ...I do that a couple times then when they are about 5 1/2 weeks we go out and learn the chain gang learning a point of contact and how to give into pre...

OK Try again see if those edited links work

Things we do with our pups to help them get a good start in their lives to being the Bird dogs they should be. All the litters we raise here we introduce bird smells at 3 weeks in the whelp box much less the handling and if we travel they travel with us. These pups are just over 5 weeks old Here is ...

I try to keep up with doing many approvals with my phone but I do have a family and Sundays we have Church then Family gathering.

As for how many posts there is only 4 posts that need to be approved and It helps more then you can imagine

http://redrockbiologics.com/rattlesnake_vaccine_faq.php There is the link to Red Rock Biologics Frequently Asked Questions Page. It is pretty direct about what snakes they say it helps with, What an owner still needs to do if a dog gets bit and also the most important the proper schedule of vaccinat...

This is where I have found Rick and Ronnie Smith whoa method works the best and does this with out taking desire or style from the dog. http://www.huntsmith.com/article.php?id=15 http://www.huntsmith.com/article.php?id=16 These two articles are about the whoa post the smith method..Once you have the...

Wish the shots worked on Mojave Green rattlers. Ran into to 2 in one week at my home. Big fat ugly and some don't rattle. That is a scary snake but the vaccine can still help since the Mojave can have a mix of Hemo and Neurotoxin venom because they will mate with Westerns. The shot does not work on...

It is neat when you get to put a face to the name. Hopefully if all goes well I might be able to make it to Oregon again
I have met a lot of super neat people through certain boards it is neat how it just feels like catching up with a friend you hvaen't seen in a long time

I would put the pup on a chain gang https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206169753432959&l=2f14b4ef1b Let the pup learn about restriction with out you in the picture ...Supervise from a distance and just let the pup fight it out between the pup and the chain ..once the pup settles down then put...
