First wrap vet wrap on the leg.

Then put boot on.

Then duck tape the boot to the Vet wrap.

Good luck

Most dog boot designs are pretty stupid.

When feeding livestock my female GSP always takes a mouth full of alfalfa; however she still barks :D She also tries the alfalfa pellets. I think it's much better than eating poop. The only problem I see is when the grass/alfalfa gets hung up coming out. I don't let her run in the front door in that...

My GSP's were always skinny and hard to keep weight, so I feed them twice a day. I won't even get into how much. At about 4 years old I still feed them twice a day, but the early morning feeding is only a half a cup. The evening feeding they get 4 heaping cups. There are studies that claim not to fe...

Don't be surprised if and when you find the insurance it costs more than the rent/lease. Don't be surprised if you have a claim the insurance company does not pay. Use an independent insurance agent, that will shop for you. Be certain to have your attorney look over the policy; you will need the att...

Floaters not good.

A dogs stool should have shape. The kick it method works.

We use the same kibble that is feed at the dogs meal time for treats and never worry about loose stool or poisoning from some strange treats made in China.

Snake Proofing or the Rattlesnake Avoidance training method involves a dog, a shock collar and a rattlesnake. If a dog approaches a snake the trainer stimulates the dog. The dog sings an unhappy tune or does a back flip. I took one of my dogs for a refresher course. Several rattle snakes had been pl...

Please beware:

Our friend from Scotland refers to a "torch"

Torch in American English means a light powered by batteries

Please don't set the barn on fire.

Do yourself a big favor and buy the book, The Orvis Guide to Gunfitting by Tom Deck. This book will quickly teach you how well your shotgun fits using the Churchill method. As already stated your mount must the same each and every time to test the fit, because you point a shotgun you do not aim a sh...

Belgium made Browning A5's did not come with interchangeable chokes. If you want interchangeable chokes for some reason on a Belgium made A5, then Briley is the only place that can install their thin walled chokes. Better yet just get one with a modified choke for upland game. The A5's made in Japan...

reba

Get one that was made in Belgium with a vent rib, modified choke and 26 inch barrel.........

If you want interchangeable chokes ONLY send it to Briley for their thin walled chokes. However a 16 ga with modified choke would be ideal for all up land birds.

Guns International has a few right now.

I have had an Alpha 100 since they first came out and run three dogs.

The receiver on the dog collar can be equipped with a longer antenna if you run big or in the canyons.

Good stuff.

reba

A healthy small and or skinny dog will work as good as or better than any fat dog. Pointing/hunting dogs should always be showing rib. Look at classic paintings/pictures of pointing dogs; they are all showing lots of rib. These dogs are not fat little puppies for good reason. They are field dogs. Yo...

Dropping while on point may come from his breeding!

Years ago some wanted their dogs to drop on point, so they could cast a net over the birds

No, this is not a joke.

OP,

Do yourself a favor and Google Tri Tronics repair...........

reba

Sounds OK

You do not want your dog chasing and barking at tweety birds. If this happens STOP it ASAP.

reba

WOW all the dogs I've ever owned would and do retrieve crippled birds................

reba

I would clip the wings on those two and use them for retrieving practice.

Did you try a "Google" on the Breeder or Owner in Claysville, PA?

There are a dozen Rusmisel's in Claysville, PA

I agree with Sharon, stay out of it unless the play is to ruff for in the house, then put them out. For a period of time my GSP's, male and female, thought coming in the house was time for grab "bleep". My female Cattle Dog told them how the cows ate the cabbage. In a short period of time the female...

Have your son feed the dog and just leave the area. IMO most dogs tend to growl around their food bowel. I would not do the take the food away trick and give it back stunt. I think it is just teasing the dog and the reaction might be terrible. Quickest way to start a dog fight is for a dog to approa...

I have two GSP's. Your dog looks fine to me. These dogs should show some rib. Young GPS's seem to be thin. They are not fat little puppies. I have a friend that has made his GSP's neurotic forcing them to eat more. Wait! Maybe it's him. Never had a dog starve himself to death. The instructions on th...

I'll take him if you don't want him.

Would love a cross breed like that.

GOOD STUFF

reba

The one I finished this year.

11,850 miles. Over 100 days in the field. Chukar, Sage Grouse, Ruffed Grouse, Sharp Tail, Pheasant, Quail, Huns, Mearns.

Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, AZ and CA

Yes, I am planning the same trip next year

reba

The first thing I said was, "I wonder if that dog ever hunts?"

reba

Look at the dog in the picture, then look at the ground. If you see this stuff, get out!

reba

I don't know where you are from or where you are going to hunt. There are many different types of cactus you may run across. Some of which my GSP's can run full bore and never have a problem; which I find amazing. Some of it is just down right terrible; such as the low growing long spined stuff. In ...

Amoxicillin for 10 days.

It's only been one week.

You must give it the full 10 days or it might fail even if it looks like she is getting better.

Please explain how to turn it back ON for a dog you have turned the tracking OFF.

THANKS!

reba

I don't know squat about Brittanies; but IMO the EAR SET is all wrong on that dog in the picture.

reba

Never had a dog bed/pad my female GSP didn't tear up.

She is 3 years old and still tears them up.

She now sleeps in a hard bare bottom crate. Makes me feel bad

Be thank full, WAY to many fat dogs out there!

The problem with your 9 week old puppy, is that it is a 9 week old puppy! It would be nice to have a fenced in area for your puppy to ram around in, so it can spin in circles, sniff at nothing, and dig at nothing and bark at nothing. A 9 week old puppy should be confined to your property until it ha...

reba

Close to the eye.

Above the eye.

Just let it go until it gets better or worst.

Worry about it.

Maybe Judge Judy has an opinion.

Yes, there are Vets that specialize: dogs, cats, birds, snakes, cows, horses, goats, small animal, large animal, surgery, etc................

reba

My GSP's poop north, but my ACD poops south

reba

"TREED" means your dog is on point only wiggling around, IF it is a pointing dog.

If you are hunting coons or cats with hounds then you most likely will never see the "ON POINT"

It's just that simple..........

reba

The boot must have a gore tex lining.

I like the size of your dog. Just have fun and let her hunt. The more birds you put her on the better she will get. I am on a three month bird hunting trip and hunt 5+ days a week. Even my 7 year old GSP gets better day by day. My 3 year old is a great backer and is starting to learn how to cut the ...

If you want to find WILD western birds such as chukar, huns, sharptail then a big running ponting dog such as a GSP or English Setter............................

reba

His should ride with an empty stomach and lots of fresh air.

reba

THANKS!

reba

I have never been to a field trial.

How long is a dog on the ground and how many miles does it run in a single brace?

Thank you.

reba

My go to chukar gun for the last 6 years is a Benelli M2 20ga #6's.

Yes is it gouged, scraped and ugly; but it is light weight and reliable.

Yes, I had one triple on chukar with this shotgun. I just never could have done that with my SXS, even though I shoot it better.
