First of all, thank you for your service. I don't want you to take what i'm going to type personally but: I think her problems stem from two things; #1) I got mobilized and she did not get early training soon enough. I think that since my Lab accustomed to the gun in one afternoon, that she did to a...

Is she acting "careful" on birds? No. But her points are really soft. Her prey is really high though.

what do you mean by this "points are soft"?

Super nice looking dog!

Greg, I just saw this and wanted to pass on my condolences. I have done the exact same thing and it's easy to do in that kind of cover. The heartless "bleep" that sent those kind of messages in such a difficult time obviously have never read your posts about Gunner. You could tell by your posts just...

I am so sorry Howie. Your family will be in my thoughts.

Ethylene glycol in antifreeze & coumadin (anti-clotting chemical) in mouse or rat bait are probably two of the most common substances dogs will get into. Neither are caustic agents like gasoline or Draino. Vomiting must be induced within minutes, not hours and veterinary consultation is strongly re...

postoakshorthairs

If you know the dog has eaten something you can induce vomiting with a dose of Peroxide. Always consult a vet or the Veterinary Poison Control Center. If you cannot make vet contact immediately & suspect a dog has eaten some poison you can induce vomiting with a cup of hydrogen peroxide OR a tables...

mine are built on the same basic design as the LCS and work well. The entrance door and rear sunning/catch area is better on that design. I don't know if the lcs design includes a varmint trap inside but i did on mine. I've never caught anything in it but my friend has caught a skunk and mink. I als...

they dont really know definitively what causes it, but think it might be related to guillian barre syndrome. in my experience, some get better and some dont. I read the link after what you wrote doc. I had Guillian Barre when i was in junior high. It sounds very similar. It sounds like the recovery...

He said ipod not ipad. I don't know if you can buy 3g service for an ipod or not. I have an i phone and love it but i pay for the data package for internet service outside of wifi areas

Thats what I was hoping to hear, I'm taking him out to a trainer with some birds this weekend. Still not sure about this dog, he doesn't seem to care about hunting just wants to RUN and worst of all I think is that he runs in a straight line not covering ground like I athink a bird dog should. We'r...

I have a friend that did this...they still have all but a couple of the chickens

After the dog got a couple he has them pretty well confined and the dog has given up, but i bet if one gets loose he's toast.

I didn't. The bedding seemed to flatten out for a flat bottom for them to lay on

I've done what you're describing for a side by side set up and it works fine. I agree with the others though. I've built many boxes out of many different things but in the end bought a diamond plate box with storage and can't imagine going back. If you add all the money i spent over the years buildi...

I'm pretty sure the HC only denotes it's a "high capacity" card. I did find something that said the SDHC cards had a different internal file system...maybe that's the issue. I have a card slot in my laptop and both work without issue.

Good post Ray!

Very sorry to hear that Scott.

Nice looking pup

Most horses are not foaled in January, I would bet that month has probably the lowest foaling rates of the breeding months except June. You see a horse born in December is at a severe disadvantage all race horses no matter the month they are born have a January 1st birthday so you want to foal as c...

You should be very proud. I hope you will pass my families appreciation to him for his service. We'll pray for a quick, safe three months.

Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinions, but I'd say your friend is in the minority on his launcher theories. If you search back through various thread topics on creeping, steadying etc...many of the suggestions from serious amateurs and pros include the use of launchers. I don't leave my l...

Speedy recovery Brenda!

I can't argue about your experience in this area but I would have thought the same thing till I heard just yesterday that the heart attacks were down 25% in the past ten years. But I still think we are going to pay a big price for all of our kids growing up with Nintendo and television rather than ...

People are living much longer every generation, getting bigger and stronger, and are enjoying their longer life. And much of it is due to their healthier eating. Opinions are just that but the facts are proven with research. Ezzy, Now come on! I must take exception to this comment, especially becau...

Hey Chip, Can you translate that into current dog's names that you would use now that still carry high COIs from those old lines? Dogs that I would use now. BA Buckshot would be one...he is about as tight as BE x APB that you can get, there are some others out there as well, bred similiar to him......

I fed the river run pro...which i suspect is the 23 dollar a bag feed. I liked the food, and if memory serves it's made by the same company as Loyal. The best i can say is try the river run and see how your dog does on it. Maybe they sell a lot of it because it's cheap plus dogs do well on it?

Good job! What fun would it be if she did exactly what you wanted every time out? Judging a dog, athlete, or anything on one days performance doesn't hold much water from my perspective. She's a beautiful dog and I wouldn't mind having a dog out of those parents of hers...oh wait i do

postoakshorthairs

I don't think it's separation anxiety of the other dog, it's jealousy of the other dog being with you. Simple answer is to crate the one left at home. I agree with this. I don't know what to tell you about the dog breaking the crate...except get a heavier built crate. My dogs all bark and bounce ar...

My pigeon coop has been within spitting distance of my dog kennels for years and I've never had a problem related to the location. If anything the pigeons flying in and out of the coop fires them up. Maybe i'm just lucky but i know several others that have similar set ups.

Aline,
I'm so sorry to hear that...i'll keep you in our thoughts.

postoakshorthairs

What about framing it in smaller sections and pouring them all seperatly. That would make it more managable for me to do. Could I frame it in maybe 5 x 20 foot sections like I was going to make the runs, and leave the framing in for the panels to sit on? I could probably do the 5 foot width decentl...

I poured concrete last year after going through all the different options....bare ground, pea gravel, treated lumber slats and plastic kennel decking. Nitrex is correct in you can save a bunch of money doing it yourself. The materials shouldn't be over 500-600 bucks if the yards you posted is correc...

Very nice Brenda. I remember seeing him in the NSTRA magazine years ago and thinking how handsome of a dog he was. Well deserved.

postoakshorthairs

Couple of very nice looking pups you have there!

I'm sorry to hear that. I can relate completely. I'm in the human healthcare business not the animals, but there is little difference in the emotions. Over the years I too have become desensitzed to the emotions of it...being one of your own sure reminds you of what others have felt. I joke with my ...

I don't think the pool chemicals would hurt the dog. I've had several of my dogs in our pool over the year and have never had an issue...I test it on my kids first ! :mrgreen: Unless you have a concrete or fiberglass pool there is a chance on ruining the liner as was mentioned before. When the dog n...

Do I need to train him what to point at to resurrect this instinct? (to clarify) Just wondering this because I want to understand the genes of the dog. If I ever take up hunting, I'd like to know he hasn't "lost" this ability. You don't need to "train" him what to point at, what owners/trainers do ...

postoakshorthairs

I won't be much help....this is why i bought remote launchers. Ray had mentioned in a previous point a technique he used by tying the dog off so his hands were free. Hopefully he'll chim in.

Now that is something I'll agree with

postoakshorthairs

I don't really have a stake in the argument. I have a black female, but she is only a fair example of the breed so I choose not to breed, show, trial etc. I really don't understand why she is allowed to participate in field events and not show events. I personally have no interest in show events, bu...

Secondly, I thought I provided an example previously of a very fine black dog that has already contributed to the breed. In this case, specifics were given. Others have thrown in what they believe to be fine contributions as well. I don't know what else to tell you but to go back and read the threa...

I thought the stomach area was a strange place for Demedex. I'm with brenda...i thought sarcoptic was the type that mainly involved the underside and the ear margins.

Pup #1-I recently had a bitch dog like this. No great names close up but i had access to accounts, pictures, and personal observation of the two or three generations without "titles". They were the type of dogs i liked so I had no issues with the lack of lineage on paper. She had an awesome nose and...
