I looked at the franchi online. If any one has owned one what are your thoughts and how long have you owned it.

On the flip side of that someone using the whistle too much is also pretty frustrating when you have to listen to someone yelling at their dogs all the time. I am just getting started with my own pointing dog and I only hope I am not that guy either way.

I have been wondering how do they compare to dove?

I will be doing my first NA test on my 6 month old pup in August does any one have any advice for dealing with the heat or just testing in general. Prior to the test I plan on keeping her in the shade but I am positive once we get there she will be all kinds of excited and I am a little concerned ab...

onuhunter02

Youve neutered him,don't bother testing for any of that stuff,it's worthless information,That information at this point "Is what it is" He is eating 30/20 protein fat right now, about 5 cups a day. we were feeding 4 cups but he does not look fat at all, even a little on the slim side so we increase...

I would agree class would be good for her in fact they would be great that is an idea I had not thought of. I will put that along the lines of when she wanted to learn to shoot a pistol I signed her up for classes. So that she could hear the similar ideas and methods in a different way.

onuhunter02

Now I will say this she does well and the dogs listen when it comes to keeping them safe but it is the obedience that she has a tough time enforcing consistantly. What is nice though when they listen to me on command and not her it does make it look like I don't just take them out and do nothing whe...

onuhunter02

Mine is not usually out of the kennel unless I am around for no other reason than no matter how much I tell her, my fiance does not give consistant commands. I hear why is it she doesn't act like this for you, in the same breath she will tell the dog stop no and quit it. Now I know some of you have ...

I started with my first pointing dog this year a couple things I did not budget for which I wish I would have is birds, getting you and the dog registered with any organizations you may choose to join, I knew it would take time but it does not sink in until you are actually spending the time. Also o...

I have a stoeger 8500 which I use or turkey and switch the barrel out for duck. I absolutely love the gun no issues as of yet.

onuhunter02

Generally I start out with the sling then I end up taking it off and put it in my vest. If I am duck, deer, coyote, or turkey hunting I u use the sling to get to my spot then take it off when I get there. So I guess I prefer to shoot with out it but it can be useful.

onuhunter02

Thank you guys the answers seem pretty consistant.

onuhunter02

Ok I am mainly looking for different points of view on this so please be easy on me. I have been using pigeons with my pup and she seems to be doing well. I plan on training with other birds before our NA test but is there a point where one can use pigeons too much?

I know when you hunt dove on public ground in Indiana you are limited to 75 rounds a day and it can't be lead

onuhunter02

Absolutely why not it is not a guarantee and may not be probable but it is one more thing that increases the chances of getting the dog back. With the amount of money spent on dogs it is a drop in the bucket.

onuhunter02

Ok here is one if you are on public ground and you see a dog running around and the dog clearly got away from its owner. At what point do you try to help the dog? I am torn on this because we hunt both public and private ground part of me says on the public ground I will find her (eventually), but a...

onuhunter02

She is micro chipped but I really like the idea of adding another phone number that could be really helpful because sometimes my phone does not have service where I am at.

onuhunter02

Also I will be putting reward on it. There is room for one more line any recommendations.

onuhunter02

I have heard of many people putting several things on their dog collar tags to increase their odds of getting their dog back. Obviously we all know if someone is going to steal your dog they will steal it. But I have heard the thinking if you put needs medication then maybe there is a chance they ma...

onuhunter02

I agree with the fact that dogs spend a lot of time sleeping also though when I started a few years back putting my dogs outside I found they were actually seemed happier. If people want to compare to human qualities while I was at work they had more to keep them entertained by being intrigued by th...

I think summer time obviously open them all up but when fall and winter hits there are other variables. Do you have a cap on your truck? Are they indoor or outdoor dogs? What is the climate like? I recently heard a story of a guy who put his pup in a box which was in the bed of his truck with a cap ...

I recently joined the NAVHDA club in Central Indiana and have been in contact with a board member. I have been involved in about every type of hunting possible but I will say I doubt it matters what club you join because it seems like bird hunters as a whole seem friendlier and more willing to help ...

onuhunter02

I may do many things unorthodox but there is a soft spot in my heart for our pets. I feel bad for the poor dog because that will be the one who suffers from the ignorance.

Not sure if this is new enough for anyone to still look at but yesterday I picked up a pup from Eulenhof kennel's in Michigan and from what I can tell she seems a million percent better. After seeing this pup and the others in her litter I would have to say absolutely do not go with the above mentio...

Eulenhof kennels mom is Eulenhof's Mein Suesse, dad Serakraut Maxwell's Silver Hammer

One I will apologize for the spelling it is Josey Wales. Two I just got back from the vet and he said she is healthy which is excellent but I turned on the tv and no lie the outlaw Josey Wales is on the ION channel. So I would have to say say problem solved. Thank you all for the input.

onuhunter02

Yea josie wells was exactaly wherr I got that from.

onuhunter02

Ok all I just picked up my pup yesterday and we are torn with names so if you could please vote on the following names it will help greatly Bella, Zoie, Dixie and Josie. Please feel welcome to recommend another name but it would be appreciated if you picked one of the four mentioned names as well. B...

onuhunter02

I agree completely I really want to help out as well but what stinks is at this point I think I will only be help for manual labor. It is sad to say but I will need guidance in helping lol.

onuhunter02

I plan on attending the April 13th clinic for Central Indiana. Like mentioned on earlier posts I have a pup does anyone know how it will be structured and if I should even bring her. This will be my first training day and even if it is not advised to bring her I want to attend to check it out. If it...

I have no idea if it is advisable to use on your dogs but gold bond is one of the best things ever invented for humans. While I personally love the extra medicated in the green bottle I would use the yellow (unless there is something with less kick than the yellow) bottle on my dog if I was going to...

onuhunter02

If you are just using it for home defense and defense when you hunt with then I would go with a glock. They are a simple gun to shoot, you have the same trigger pull every time from first shot to last, they are virtually weather proof and require minimal maintenance. As far as caliber that will come...

onuhunter02

Ok well I have trained dogs before but this is my first venture in to a pointing bird dog. Through this forum a rep from a fairly local bird organization has reached out and offered assistance. I have watched the vidoes which I have borrowed from friennds now does anyone have any books to recomend. ...

onuhunter02

I agree completely that is why I have yet to complain about the situation but use it as a learning experience. I just wanted to put it out there just in case any one is looking in that area I am not sure where the forum steps in on bashing people but the guys first name is Keith that should be enoug...

onuhunter02

All Maybe I just had a bad experience with one of this breeders many pups that may have a successful blood line but I had a terrible experience with a breeder from Mechanicsburg, Ohio. I will leave his name out due to the fact that I dont know if the forum will think it is appropriate. Any how he "b...

onuhunter02

I not know the answer on how to fix your issue but I would have to also say stop going to the dog parks. I hate dog parks because it is not controlled and you have no idea how up to date the people at the parks are with their dogs and shots. At the same time I am in a fortunate situation where I hav...

When was he last time your pup was de-wormed? When you went to the vet did she give you any medicine to take with you to take care of any thing? I just brought home a gsp a month ago and she initially had the runs for a few days but I also made a vet appointment the day after I picked her up and the...

onuhunter02

Are there any other dogs that she enjoys being around? When I take my puppy out to new areas (meaning outside of the norm from day to day life) I take my lab with me and it seems to ease her a little. She is a lot more playful and you can tell she is less worried I think because she knows it can be ...

onuhunter02

I have to agree with the folks who say no matter the dog they need to be use to the weather. It is not fair to take your indoor dog and have it do retrieves in the cold water or even in cold weather on land. Think about this when you get bundled up because it is cold out putting on your thickest duc...

onuhunter02

I have used both purina and science diet during season I will use science diet I think it helps with her recovery time. But out of season I mix the science diet with the purina. That is just what I prefer.

onuhunter02

I know where I stand but where does everyone else stand when it comes to dog food and why? Cheap, middle of the road, or more expensive foods what specific brand do you prefer

I am in aurora. How about you?

I am new to the forum but I am in to all to types of hunting have always bird hunted, but I am starting my first venture with a pointing dog I will be picking her up here in a couple of weeks. I have trained labs before for duck hunting but like I mentioned I am going in to a new world with the poin...
