The competition is already pretty tough in the non-competitive events without having scores published, with all the first, only, youngest, oldest, least, most, etc brags folks make about their dogs :D I saw a guy in junior hunter nearly pull a judge off his horse yelling "What do you mean giving my...

One of the things that bothers me, at least from a CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) perspective, is the disparity in ability between dogs that have the same title, and how difficult it is to find information on the testing. You could have one dog that passed all its legs it entered, with high 90's in eac...

Which is the recommend tool for basic obedience? In addition to field work & some hunting, we do obedience with both our dogs (one is a CDX working on UD; the other is CGC working on CD). In obedience CLASSES, most of us use a prong collar. In fact,our GSPs have customized Herm Sprenger collars. Ho...

With the pollen count very high lately, mine get a slight yellow discharge. All. But its not coming back that quickly just sort of daily. They do it every year at this time of year. Our older GSP has seasonal allergies, and gets either clear or slightly discoloured discharge. He also gets a "revers...

I have used the 10% fenbendazole dewormer, Safeguard for worming in between for years also. It is the exact same product as Panacur for dogs. As with the ivermectin it will probably go out of date before you use it all. I think I paid right at 100 for a quart. I like the liquid products We have als...

submariner thanks for the link. i recently switched from revolution to frontline and iverheart. i dont have any of the affected lots. have you checked into the name brand stuff. i think its called heart gaurd? Yes, we used to use Heartguard plus before we found the iverhart plus, which is much less...

SubMariner

Thanks for the suggestions. So far people are talking about the straight ivermectic. Are there similar ones with both the ivermectin & the pyrantel?

Thanks,

SubMariner

has there been a new recall? I saw one in april and one in june. it seemed like just a few lots and not all of the products. Yes, it is a few lots & we have one of them. http://www.aahanet.org/blog/newstat/post/2013/08/22/925558/Virbac-issues-expanded-recall-for-Iverhart-Plus-Flavored-Chewables.aspx

We've been using the Iverhart Plus (ivermectin & pyrantel), but due to the recent recall, it's not available right now. What are people using for heartworm prevention? I know many of you with kennels & a lot of dogs use injectable ivermectin, but we really don't want to get into that whole process. ...

The North Florida GSP Club is running Hunt Tests on October 12 & 13, 2013.

This venue is approximately 12 miles West of Ocala and is the home of t...

Is that where the poutine comes from? the real stuff. Timmy's AKA Tim Horton's is a donut place that has evolved into something a little more that "just donuts", but during my recent visit back up to Ontario, I don't recall seeing poutine on the menu. That being said, there are many poutineries all...

Actually the previous post makes a nice segway to my news. Evo has been recalled several times (my dog was NOT sick and I doubt the salmonella would bother him much but...) and all the stores within an hour or so have pulled it off the shelves with no restocked date as of this time. Had tried two o...

I haven't given the vaccine yet, Bullet is only a little over 5 months, but I was talking to the local NAVHDA president about it the other day.

The Central Florida GSP Club would like to thank everyone who attended this weekend & made it such a great experience.

A special "shout out" to Tom Maneely from the AKC who ran the seminar.

Good job all!

I have never seen dog food with over a year shelf life is what threw me since in my experience they work off of the date manufactured and not a shelf life date since the food is not required to have a printed shelf life that I know of. Are you sure this is a different recall and not the same one an...

I'm working on training my 13 week old GSP basic obedience but it isn't going too well. The "here" command he will listen to a majority of the time in the house, once he gets outside though it usually becomes ineffective. He loves to retrieve bumpers in the yard, however on the return he runs past ...

Here in FL you have to assume that ANY body of water can hold a 'gator. Even ones you had never seen one in before. We really keep an eye on our guys anytime they are near water; polarized sunglasses are a must.

I dont feel safe giving him a kong because of the risk (100% risk) of him chewing it up and swallowing all the rubber. That seems almost 100% unlikely to happen. http://www.kongcompany.com/ click on the kong story. I do agree with your "pro-trainer" on one thing: Anyone can be a "professional dog t...

Your dog's chewing through a building is a sign of an anxiety or or social issue. It is not a chewing problem! I would take a step back. Forget the FF for now and resocialize this Labrador before it is to late. I was involved in two clubs for 10 years with my lab and I have seen a lot. We had an ac...

How do these dogs do with obedience training? We are working on 'sit' right now. They seem eager to learn and please. How soon do we begin the basic heel commands and leash work?

I use the safeguard goat wormer since the liquid is easier. I've had it miss worms that were caught by the cheap and old reliable peiperzine. At least in young pups anyways.

On Sunday March 31st, Snips Apache Hunter (Cheeney) earned 2nd place in Open Gun Dog at the TBVC Field Trial in Lake Wales, FL.
