I ahve fed the Diamond Naturals Large breed puppy lamb and rice. I actually feed that to my adult dog when we go on a seroius hunting trip(she is usually on the regular naturals lamb and rice). I have also fed the naturals extreme athlete. I think the puppy lamb and rice is plenty of calories. They ...

Is anyone going to the FT's in southern Indiana in early Feb? I have a 8 month gsp that I was thinking about running in some puppy or derby walking trials.

I have been on Naturals Lamb and Rice(22%13%) for about three years and have been very happy; medium size firm stool and was about $23 for 40#.

Beth I think both are nice boys. I talked to Brenda and Lisa about both of those boys as potential studs. IMO Cody has a better pedigree. If you talk to Brenda and Lisa and tell them what you want and what you have, you might get a good sense which way suits yor female better.

Dave, what sort of IC are you talking about with consistency/depression? Chip, I can't get my hands on Baroque, and what he has produced gets watered down for every generation.

Wendy was a DC Esser's Duke vd Wildburg and Jutta Bugelhof pup. Is Axel von Wasserschling considered Wildburg lines or Esser line or something else?

Greg is right! Make sure you check as many sources as you can to get that many generations. I use this as a decent source, but there are plenty of mistakes on it. http://www.gspdog.net/pedigree/breeding.pl?op=breeding&index=5543&gens=4&db=gsp.dbw.

Wagner, I think this might be common for this age of puppy. Short story: I had my 3-4 month pup put for a walk on a leash and we came up to a strange adult dog (big don't remeber what kind) my pup did the same sort of thing as yours yelping like she had gotten hurt. I was surprised by this behaivor ...

Beth as far as her pedigree, if I were you I would look back behind the dogs that you don't know or recognize and try to find out were they come from. What if one more generation back they were all bred to Hustler? Just see if there is any duplicated dogs or lines. I think from a breeding standpoint...

bruns333

I think Hustler had an IOC of around 2% which may help understand why the inconsistency. Wendy Enzstrand on the other hand was around 10% any didn't that combo produce at least 2 DC's?

bruns333

Brenda and Chip, Doesn't Hustler have alot of Wildburg stuff behind him already? I just see that Hustler stuff has been bred so much that we know more about his potency. I would guess if they are/were any males that show up as much as Hustler does we would have a better idea what those males produce...

Beth, I wouldn't worry too much about "looking out for Hustler dogs". They have and continue to prove themselves in a many types of events. See how many NAVHDA VC's don't have some Hustler behind them? There are some really good kennels out there having good success with Hustler bred dogs. I am sure...

My mom is getting a Vizsla and her breeder uses this food. Does anyone have any input or uses this food? I have gsp's and use Diamond Naturals Chicken and Rice. How much is the Bil jac, I have only ever seen the frozen stuff in the grocery not their dry kibble.

I would also switch to a decent adult food. My gsp pup is about 4.5 months and I am feeding her right under 4 cups a day of adult food. I pay alot of attention to the output. If they are getting too much there stool becomes loose and plentiful JMO. Now if I could only limit the number of apples she ...

The boy for sure is going to be ticked. The female with only the patch on her tail is the lightest and has some ticking on her legs, but will be the lightest. She is also the only one without completely dark pads. One of Higgin's grandmother's was white and liver ticked and patched so I assume they ...

I am thinking about keeping a female. I had hoped for more to choose from and at least break even on the deal. My other concern is that if this new female is not very fertile like her mom, I will have the same problem down the road if I want to breed her. All the complaining aside though I should ke...

I am part of the Mid Ohio Navhda chapter and last year our chapter posted that they had 25% off coupons from Tritronics.

I have only upland hunted in Ohio and Iowa, but Iowa was sure a good time. This was in eastern Iowa last fall and it was nice and rolling and 3-5 birds put up an hour. The dogs had to work hard and lots of walking, but it was almost perfect for pheasants in my mind.
