Nice pictures ruth. I sincerely appreciate your showing them!

Most of the good adult formulas are great for pups. As long as the kibble is small and easy to chew. Most good adult formulas are essentially all-age even if not designated as such. I fed Loyall Active Adult to my pup, and still feed it. I also pay around $28 for 40#, and it's superior to most feeds...

Someone has been reading that weird thread again that takes things out of context and stretches the truth so they can sell mediocre, expensive feed.

My dogs never "squeal" when they are given pork scraps.

big steve46

Kansas may have better bird hunting, but I sure wouldn't want to live there, especially compared to beautiful Missouri.

The excitement will mount in the coming months as my wife and I are seriously considering being there.

big steve46

I had the same thing happen to me several years ago, and I reached down and snapped it into place. I was fine in a couple of weeks.

If this old dog(me) can heal, I'm sure yours will be ok also. I realize there is a difference in the types of dogs.

You wimp!

Good, will have to check that out later. Free parking and free shuttle wiould be nice.

big steve46

Country Inn and Suites pretty close. Can get a room for 90 +tax, free parking, comp cont breakfast.

parking costs 12-13 at center. Might be shuttle or bus not sure

Go for it Steve. Great idea. You get that going and I'll bring you a bag of dog food, Ol Roy, P Dog Chow or Loyall...Your choice Since Loyall, my brand, is made near there, might stock up and get a discount. I wonder what hotels will be used the most in that area by the convention goers? Plenty of ...

Combining.. Come on over. We can have a great discussion on best value of dog food based on price per pound. :D Hey' I'm thinking about it. I'll give some of those feed salesmen fits! Wife has family near Springfield, Mo so we may make a circle in that area. Should be plenty of motels near Center. ...

big steve46

Sounds similar to what I suggested. Infection can affect the pyloric valve to spasm and not function. It's great he's ok.

big steve46

So, are they combining PF and QF, or is QF somewhere else?

big steve46

Most dogs WILL do well on Ol'Roy or Ol'Roy Premium, but there will be more piles, and they will eat more. So, it's not cost effective, and they make more messes. Some people don't realize the difference, but I do as I came to that realization many years ago when I used to feed it.

If you are not sure whether to believe mcbosco or ezzy, just PM me, and you will get the best advice.

So i have been looking at the AKC Events listings off and on over the last couple of years mostly looking at HT listings but also I keep track of where the FTs in my area are. I use the term area loosely. It seems like the closest FTs to me are roughly 3-4hrs away. My plan is to go and watch a few ...

Good advice! Could be a blockage also.

There's nothing wrong with Chicken-By-Product meal if it's #1 grade. Corn is good as long as it's finely ground for digestion. The bottom line should be coat, energy and stamina, and poop.

Prices seem reasonable. Again, most dogs do well on most good feeds.

big steve46

Looks like good feed. What are the prices since you mentioned it?

big steve46

Those dogs would be even prettier if you didn't chop their tails off!

big steve46

It's nice to inform about a $7 coupon, and for that product, that should eradicate 1/3 of the cost. Surely, for such a mediocre product, they don't charge more than 40 cents a pound? :roll:

big steve46

That's pretty good advise. Don't worry about all the internet talk advising this and that. It is not complicated. I hate to repeat what has been said many, many times on here but just find a feed that you can afford, is readily available and your dog does well on, which will be most of them. The on...

I already get $4 off from my local feedstore. That's why it's better to buy your feed from a privately owned store rather than a chain store if you can find one.

big steve46

So I was at my local IFA, and I came across a feed that I am interested in for my dog's. It's Enhance Hunter's Edge Basic's, its a 24-18 and it was 32 bucks for a 42lb bag. http://www.enhance3022.com/products#in-season Thoughts?? I would prefer their Premium over the Basic. I can feed Loyall Profes...

We have a local Nutrena plant that distributes Loyall feed, although It is made at the main plant near K.C.. I buy from a local feedstore that has been there since I was born, and is still run by the same family. It's less expensive than our Orcheleins plus I get $4 off per bag. I also have a friend...

Perhaps a blockage in the small intestine causing a spasmodic reaction of the pyloric valve? Just guessing.

Steve, Can the fuzzy short-tails join? Sure can. We have several Llewellin restricted trials a year. Sometimes once a year we have a AF horseback open trial. It's a small club of less than 200 people, but anyone who enjoys good dogs can join. We have a website, and specific info can be given with a...

Nothing prettier than a Setter on point! I've Setters almost 40 years, and did have one big E. Setter that always had a bloody tail, but most Setters I've owned had little problems.

I know they have raised, but that's too high. You should be able to get their Premium for that. Shop around.

[quote="Ahumphers91a"]Diamond[/quote

Which Diamond?

big steve46

Hunter's Choice, Diamond Premium, and others. Ol'Roy is bad. Buy from an independantly owned feedstore if possible, or a chain feedstore that runs specials. When you figure it out, WalMart is more expensive.

If you ever plan on traveling with a dog for shows, trials, anywhere.....Then controlled feeding is best...Dogs free fed will not eat on the road for the most part if they are used to grazing...Can be a huge pain. That is true. Mine didn't eat much during a few days we were gone to a trial. It wasn...

big steve46

I have free fed for many years with Setters. I fill up a large bowl-container about every three days. Of course, it's in a building so it doesn't get wet. Setters are generally more intelligent than other breeds such as GSPs, and do not tend to gorge. Seriously, it is important that I usually only h...
