She won't forget that day. Well done.

I am going to have to pick this pup over the internet as I need to help my wife exist at home and cant be away that long. I have total trust in the breeder and she is going to help evaluate them in the next few weeks. We will be doing it by video. A friend with second pick is bringing him home for ...

Wow. What great pictures! Thank you.

It's that happy time again here in ON. I use Nexgard for ticks and Heartgard for heartworm from mosquitoes. Never see a flea. What do you use? I thought this thread might be useful to new gundog owners.

So i was wondering how often do you run your dogs to keep them in shape. My WPG is not over weight or anything but the stamina seems to be lacking a little. We do a trail run/hike (3.7 miles for me) and then a some field working another day almost weekly. She is 1.5 years hold and i am not able to ...

"American Field trials run under minimum rule standards. They may include local weekend "fun" trials and Championships that may last several weeks. These trials not only include open stakes; horseback All-Age, Shooting Dog, but Amateur Field Trial Clubs of America stakes as well. They also include F...

You can do your best to pick "the best pup" , but it has been my experience that there is no " for sure" choice. A litter I bred with a pro friend ( my female dog and his chosen sire - 5xCh Shady Hills Billy) were all sold before they were born. An owner decided he didn't want his chosen dog when he...

I sure hear you. That is a great post and beautiful pics. Thanks.

10 THINGS YOUR DOG WOULD TELL YOU... 1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me. 2. Give me time to understand what you want of me. 3. Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my well being. 4. Do not be angry at me for long,...

That's very nice of you. I never had any kids as I had two brothers die before 20 from Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. In those days they couldn't tell a woman if she was a carrier of that gene or not , and we chose not to put a child through that slow death. We did have 4 foster children (teens) though...

Fixed.

I taught Special Education for 46 years. We never learned to spell well.

I say UTi- too much acid. I'd be taking a urine sample to the vet.
Why do I think this ? I had a friend throw up twice in my laneway on the cement. Cement went whitish and has never recovered- the cement that is , the sick boy recovered.

OK Thank you.

"Eggs yolks (no whites unless cooked)" quote Garrison.

What is the reason for that Garrison?

That's a great help Marysburg. Nice to see you back.

Here's a beautiful snake for you in Ontario. Eastern Hognose- totally harmless. Lifts its head like a cobra so if you don't know what it is you could be totally shocked.

OP

In ON we only have one rattler in a small part of ON- Massasauga Rattler. Unless you go to that one small part of ON., you don't have to worry about poisonous snakes when hunting. ... no snake breaking needed for your dog.

I remember when collar settings were On and Off. Then they went to High and Low. Today's collars have so many settings that some of the lower numbers are barely perceptible, so maybe a 4 on a new one isn't like a 4 on an older model like mine. Test the collar on the inside of your forearm instead o...

Love it! LOL

Excellent read. Appreciate your participation here Willie.

My thoughts too.

There has got to be more than letting a dog initially chase or not. Folks let their dog chase initially and they end up with a good hunting partner. Folks don't let their dog ever chase and they end up with a good hunting partner. I think that whatever the method , consistency in training/ enforcing...

You're a lucky man to have Mask help you out.

Welcome to the forum FGSPMama. Heard about us in school? Interesting. Consider posting intro info in the "General Chat -Introduce Yourself " section. Mostly hunting dog training here, but as posted above by deseeker , many training habits cross many dog skills required. PS You will need 5 posts appr...

Just enjoyed a wonderful day out at the ponds and woods with my dog. ( Can't hunt anymore.) Never thought we would be able to do that this Spring as I have Parkinson's Disease and the dog has cancer and had a TPLO last Fall. Saw two pair of Ring Necked ducks . Some days you have to remember to be th...

Enjoyed the video. Compared to where I live (Ontario) that terrain in NV is really bleak - but then again we don't have any wild chukar.

Hey . Who said I'm old? I'm just mature. LOL

and I always tell people with new puppies to start there. If you call pup and he doesn't come, get up and get him , even if you are watching the Super Bowl. Never let pup get away with ignoring you , and when he /she is older , she/he will ALWAYS come.

While I think of it, a big thank you to so many members who are taking the time to write such excellent posts ; if one were to sit and read the posts over the past two weeks, you would be amazed at the expertise here. Thank you. And not only excellent posts, but real gentlemen and ladies. A moderato...

So glad you are doing well.

next step :

My terrier started out barking incessantly when a stranger was in the house ; very protective dog. I started using an anti bark collar and that worked fine. Then I stopped changing the battery and the dog didn't notice and the collar still worked fine. Today I just laid the collar on the table and h...

Welcome to the forum.

I may be missing something here, but why would one need more than 10 levels of stimulation?

Getting fitted by a gunsmith is well worth the money imo .

I wondered that myself.

We've been inundated with army beetles this winter; I've been chucking many around.

and that's why I love gun dogs; they are not robots.

LOL That would be an interesting race.

Your question got me interested in looking up how dachshund 's hunt. Seems to be a combo of a beagle and a JRT.

Exactly!

That's is what is working now- wrapped in a piece of cheese. He sees the surgeon Tues for an x ray. Hopefully he is fine.

What a great way to start my day. Such a good read, I was right with you. All the best.

You sure are. Beautiful pics.
