I cannot tell you how much I wish this didn't happen, not only to Hanshaw but for the breed in general. But I also believe that these things should be brought to light, that way people can make an informed decision. I am not saying the dogs shouldn't be registered or that in this case the stud in q...

Alot of people are going to feel pretty stupid if the pups DNA doesn't match Ace. And even more are going to be pissed, embarrassed or both ...... if it does! Wake up. It's finally coming to light, what many have been whispering in the back of the gallery for some time now . It's taken someone with...

So wild dog and cat species are obviously deficient in calcium, phosphorous and potassium? That would stand to reason... For canines. I don't think I can speak for felines, as I don't believe we received any information specific to the metabolic rates of felines...... Just canines. Now if for some ...

Hey GrayDawg, how about the fact sheets from your seminars? I really am interested in reading about it. The first three seminars I attended, we all walked away with 2 inch binders of the presentation slides. The attendees of the Tufts seminars were not granted access to the data that sits behind th...

. The dog food industry has changed greatly in recent years with new research, new ingredients and new methods of manufacturing. It's a shame that posters can't express their opinions or exchange ideas without always having to battle with a condescending and overbearing moderator. I think what the ...

The AKC is registering mutts these days they are so hard up for money. As for those pups, i've been reading this thread with much interest the last couple days as i'm sitting here on the couch with a female GSP (spade), and a male FDSB registered Pointer. There is nothing that anyone can post that w...

Ezzy,
I've been to four Canine Nutrition seminars since 1999. Three of them were sponsored by Tufts University School of Veternary Medicine
in Boston, MA. The fourth was held at Carnegie Mellon University (in conjunction with Cornell University).

Sounds to me like you were being less than civil DocE. Perhaps you should keep that to yourself and learn from it? Sounds to me like Doc was providing Ezzy a perfect example of the power the Mods have to which I was referring. Mods can delete posts and user accounts if they want to. That is a power...

Nice picture........... I have a male pointer that looks to be about the same age
who could be her mirror image!

This is what happens with so many nutrition threads. We have someone with little if any understanding of a dogs nutritional needs and even less about feed ingredients and how and why they are used. But they have strong opinions of what is good and what is bad based on something they have heard or r...

I have a 4 month old PM who eats twice a day, ~12 hours apart. He gets a total of three cups of food/day. I can see his ribs when he inhales..... no protruding hip bones. He is 26.5 lbs. It sounds like you are doing everything right. someone else said it- wait a few months and allow their puppy meta...

As for healing quickly, I strongly recommend Vetrimicyn & Colendula Gel
directly on the wound before you wrap it. These two topical applications
will both protect & promote accelerated healing.

Trust me- I know from direct experience.

O.K. let me get this straight. Purina wants consumers to believe that chicken does not contain bone???? Are other manufacturers leading consumers to believe that chicken meal is meat only and never contains bone???? And what exactly is wrong with bone? Bone doesn't contain anything that is benefici...

GrayDawg

FYI........ If the ingredient only states "chicken", that means the food can contain ANY PART OF A CHICKEN.....including: the beak, bones, ground up dried up intentinal track,..... Anything! What one wants to read as one of the top ingredients in their dog's food is: 'chicken meat' or 'chicken meal...

GrayDawg

I switched over to this because I got another GSP, mainly to save money and it is all life stages, so convenience too. 30%protein and chicken is the first ingredient so it seems alright. I was feeding innova prime. These are my first two dogs so Im not sure if the money savings will be worth it. An...

Section off an area so they can call it their own and be done with it.

When my pups were nipping, not aggressivelly biting, I have always rolled their lip under their canines and applied pressure with three or four of my fingers. They learned quickly that my hand in their mouth is not a good feeling. Like I said it doesn't take long for them to yelp and pull. I may ha...

So sorry to hear this news. No words will bring your boys back, but your memories of them will keep them close to you.

Nive pup. whats the breeding? Click on the " Hoppy's Bullbreak Icehawk " link in my signature. His Sire just won the New England Open Championship last week. His Dam's full brother was named Runner Up. http://region1fieldtrials.blogspot.com/2012/10/full-report-for-2012-new-england-open.html Rob

Okay- I have to share this with you all because I find it both hilarious & fascinating....... I picked up a FDSB registered Pointer pup in early September and he has been balls to the walls since coming into the house. A very affectionate pup, but very bold in every sense of the word. He was challen...

As a follow up to last week- yesterday we actually brought some birds to the strap! It was the Pheasant opener here in MA. Here is Stephen with a limit of Pheasant. Before anyone asks, yes- we are allowed to shoot hens...... and they taste the same as the roosters! Stephen's only comment after the f...

Won't this affect the balance of the gun for the young shooter?
Basically rendering the gun too "front heavy" and a bit more sluggish to swing.

My boys all started when they we twelve with a bolt action 20 gauge without the clip. None of them were ready physically and especially mentally to be able to be dependable with a gun before that time. Teaching the grand kids now and find the same thing, very hard to handle physically in the field ...

Get a CZ Bobwhite SxS in 28Ga. and never look back...... I did, no regrets.

Well done Rob on passing down your sport, sounds like you have done it the write way. And well done to the lad for keeping his interest. Dave. All the work was done by my son. I just opened the door, he had to walk through. Stephen actually shoots the 28ga. better than me. I think the gun is set up...

Thanks for the kind words fellas....... it was a good morning. We only have resident Woodcock here right now- no flight birds yet. We had one really nice point by Katy on a Woodcock, I was able to put Stephen in position for a shot- but the bird flushed to the one area that didn't allow a safe shot....

Well it's been 3+ weeks since I've picked him up, so I figured it's time to post a picture of him. This is "Bodhi", Hoppy's Bullbreak Icehawk , a FDSB registered male Pointer.

Try bowhunting for Antelope out west and waiting for that "responsible" 20-30 yard shot. You may be waiting a very, very long time . Someone else already said it- but I'll reiterate it....... You shoot at distances that you have proven to be effective at through practice. Heck, I've passed up 22 yar...

1) Puppy should be brought home when he's 10 weeks old, not 8 weeks old. 8 weeks is old school and there is a lot of research showing the benefits to a pup staying with its' litter until at least 10 weeks old. Please cite/reference this "a lot of research" ........... Rob Crickets.....................
