Get an MRI so you know for sure exactly what and where the problem is. ACL, MCL, Achilles, Retinaculum....... Any of these are in play and each require a different course of action and recovery period. Best of luck, Rob (PM me if you want to discuss this privately, as my dog just went through retina...

Rob, those championships you mentioned are, for the most part, frequented by the same few pros. The chukar you will only see some west coast dogs.

You boys can twist it any way you want. I still want to know how long it took you to watch EVERY GSP in the country, like your post implies. If you haven't seen every gsp that trials then stop announcing on the board what you can't prove. Slistoe-I'm not stupid. I have some "bleep" nice shorthairs,...

Pretty bold statement Rob. How long did it take you to watch EVERY GSP in the country? Your GSP is a nice dog, but that line sure isn't the best the GSP world has to offer.

They may have done it again in the 50's, but it is mentioned as happening in the teens in several books. They were trying to beat the setters. And they succeeded.

Okay, not exactly what you asked for but will offer the following: CZ Bobwhite SxS 28ga. w/26" barrels (comes with 5 screw in chokes) This gun is light enough to tote around the field and doesn't pack a wallop on a youngster. They can walk with the gun broke open and you can be 35 yards away, look o...

What you all are missing is back in the past you are talking about those people that had a goal they were working towards, a new breed. They didn't crossbreed and sell the pups. They cross bred and destroyed the pups that didn't have the characteristics they were working towards. Most did not just ...

Sorry to hear about the accident, did the Vet mention the option of putting a splint on the injured leg so as to prevent your dog from flexing his leg and thus placing strain on the sutured area? Not sure of the energy level of your fog or if he's on any sedative, but I would want to keep that leg i...

I think it really depends on the pup, and what you want out of it. +1 Some dogs need the fire stoked before being broke, others absolutely don't. I started with pointing dogs in 1993 with Weimaraners. Since then, I've owned GSP's and Pointers (currently own one GSP and one Pointer). Every dog's tra...

Here's a shot of my 6 month old Pointer pup, Bodhi.

I can handle him back in- but I really don't want to. He's stopping to flush in this picture.

My point was you gave percentages. I don't give a "bleep" what you feed. Don't even care to know the cost.

So, have you found the feeding trials that outline the negative effects of feeding bone to your dog? Yes, I have. Please provide me a mailing address so I can send it to you. Maybe if you read the literature yourself, you'll get it through your thick head! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8g2H7adbyAY/SqUf...

GrayDawg

But "chicken" on the label DOES equate to the very strong likelihood that there is bone in the food (and consumers are led to believe their dogs are getting chicken meat. Don't be a Purina Pro Plan apologist. Just the term "chicken" equates to bone. If it was only meat in the food, it would state "...

GrayDawg

So the earlier advice about avoiding food that contains bone was not correct? Dog feed containing animal (specifically, chicken) bone, but lacks the proper ingredients in it's overall formula to properly & efficiently breakdown the bone so as to allow the dog to reap the benefits of the minerals co...

GrayDawg

How about the fact that they have not come clean about it being a vegetable based food? If you saw the actual % of the beet pulp, you would not make the statement that it is a vegetable based food. Very little beet, percentage-wise. As for the bone, notice the Omega-6 & Omega-3 Fatty Acids ? Guess ...
