Did they ever find this dog?

BigTub

I always check mine before putting them on. I use the Tritronix Upland. HOWEVER, testosterone is a dangerous thing! My younger brother has always been a little adventurous and was showing off for his kids. He said to put it on HIGH and I said you sure 1x, 2x, then 3x -- then I let him have it (on hi...

BigTub

I am a little surprised the dog has not been found yet ... lots of people in that area. Guess he is not hungry enough yet.

Thanks.

Good stuff on this post.

BigTub

It's only 72F in Tucson today but higher temps are predicted later this next week.

BigTub

Same as people: get to medical care ASAP.

BigTub

I have transported my Brittany on the back of my quad in airline crate. He seems to get sick from the occasions, throwing up and loose stools. Anybody else have this problem? Dust? CO poisoning? Over exertion? Motion sickness?

BigTub

I have a soft beep on mine. With my old Britt, it works great. With my young Britt, it works ok if he is not enthralled in a chase for which it takes a 3 out of 5 ZAP -- HARD HEADED DOG!

BigTub

THERE IS A DANGEROUS LINE HERE. Don't you think that PETA members think that our bird dogs running down a crippled bird is gruesome? What about hobbling a bird so it won't run during training? What about using live birds for training at all? I don't trap or chase game with dogs but I do support thos...

Sorry: I live in Arizona. Medicines in the mailbox at 110 F do not do well.

There are storage requiement for them all and I have been told that Heartguard Plus will not warantee their product because of it. The Iverheart may not be in the same group.

BigTub

We had to get a prescription but our vet was ok with using 1-800-petmeds. Do it during the cool months to minimize degradation in the mail.

BigTub

That is great. I kept waiting for the cartoon voice to come on saying: "Which way did he go? Which way did he go?"

BigTub

Thanks for the pics. Where did you get him?

BigTub

I free birds all the time -- sometimes out of a release catapult and sometimes under a bush. I give them at least a 2 second head start.

It is about 5 miles WSW of Soniota in a little town called Elgin, AZ.

Is there documentation/verification for this school being guarded and is not just another internet hoax?

Two healthy legs to get started but any bird dog will make your time better even if you get nothing.

BigTub

My dog's took a while to go down. I thought the vet may have just down a vasectomy!?

BigTub

I got my first trained Britt from someone who wanted a pretty yard. You need to trade your young dog for an old dog!

BigTub

With my dog, it is the "F" word ... FOOD!

I have used tape to tie the legs close together and that worked. I like the string idea. My young dog dives right in -- needs lots more work.

BigTub

On mine, it is marked "T" for tone and it makes that "beep" sound. It is marked as the "Sport Combo G3". My older dog comes immediately with it. The young dog ignores it. I also have another set with the full size beeper -- both dogs hate the noise and the weight always resituates the collar. I use ...

BigTub

It would be interesting to do a poll over here. Over on the Sportsman's Journal the it is running 31:6. It started off 24:1.

I figured I would get kicked off here if I ran it over here.

BigTub

I have both. The G2 is louder but much wider and I can't use it on my older Britt since it won't really fit. The G3 is smaller and I love the instant "where are you" beep. Both are heavy enough that they move the whole collar around on my dogs neck. I think I like the G3 better based on size. Both d...

I would like to hear more about the event over Labor Day. I will be up in Eagar.

Cabelas in Px has the Win 101 for $999 this saturday. I have a Stoeger Condor 20ga. It is heavy and really stiff but really cheap. I don't worry about sitting it down while dog training. I also (wife really) have a Savage 20 ga. It is much lighter and with 5 chokes. I love the extractors instead of ...

My Britt has a genetic defect with a rather large knot of cartilage in the left ear flap. It tends to plug up the ear according to my vet and not allow as good of drying. Consequently, this poor dog has chronic ear infections if he goes swimming. During the time of year he is in nasty water (hunting...

They are legal here in AZ all year and no limit!

I have rarely seen one outside next to houses.

BigTub

They basically rule everything else out then decide to treat for epilepsy with the little pink pills (Phenobarbital). My third Britt was sold to me apparantly with the problem. Kind of hard to give him back when the kennel owners says he will just put the dog down. Hindsight for me: we should have g...

He sure is nice and gentle on the birds but then you miss out on the auto-tenderizing that my friend's Britts do on their retrieves. :roll:

My Rusty is his grandson!

Does anyone of you use a carry strap on your over/under? I have a couple of 20 gages (beaters but still nice) that I want to put screw-in swivels along with a strap. Mearns hunting and most of my quail hunting involves 99% walking and maybe on a great day 1% shooting. The salesman at a sporting good...

You may want to head down there at dawn (usually every weekend and many weekdays) and make some acquaintances. Also consider joining some th...

We keep ours clipped pretty short just due to heat and shedding. However, "looking best" is the opposite of that. You will not see one clipped in the show rink.

What a handsome dog!
