My experience with GSP's is that young dogs under two years always look skinny. Seeing three ribs is OK. Slowly feed just a little more every day and check weight monthly. I stop by my Vets once a month just to weight my dogs. It is not uncommon for them to loose weight during the 4 months we hunt. ...

A good dog could run itself into the ground.

You need to control that or do what I did; I got a second dog and run one every other day.

I also give them Annamaet Glycocharge right after each hunt to help restore their glycogen. BTW my GSP's love the stuff.

If it looked like a toilet bowel I would buy a couple!

reba

If it is bothering him, it would be an easy removal for a competent Vet.

Have it biopsied.

I suggest when feeding kibble to flood the kibble with water. Always have lots of water. I like to use 5 gal. buckets. Two cups? I don't think so. I have a female GSP that likes to stand with her two front legs in a 5 gal bucket when her is hot. She also likes to drink with her eyes below water line...

The more the girlfriend reacts the worse it may get.

Tell her to chill and let them have fun.

BTW was it the girlfriend that had the poor kitty declawed?

reba

YES!

Go to a different Vet.................................

Peace be with you.

I have had a Garmin Alpha 100 for a number of years 6+.

Great support and I get updates online at least once a year at no costs.

Hunting ruffed grouse is great fun. I started hunting them with my BIG RUNNING GSP's last year. I was amazed at how they tighten up on the thick aspens. Yep they point, flush and retrieve ruffs. Some times the big boy will spot one up in a tree and stand there and bark. Fun stuff. Hitting one on the...

That was so much fun to watch. THANKS!

If you go to: thesnipehunter.com web site you will get a good start.

The commands words might vary depending on the type of dog; Pointer? Flushing?

HOWEVER the three most important ones are: WHOA! WHOA! and WHOA!

Silly maybe, but it amazes me how many times I've I have said that with a response; "yes I know that" but their dog does not!

Best wishes

they could care less about someone else's opinion

I find an 8 inch boot just right. Hard sole mountaineering for sure. A $300 plus pair of boots will last me two seasons. ( I hunt chukar 100 plus days a year) Right now I am on my second set of Meinds, that were sold by Cabela's. I like 200 gr insulated with gortex liners. Kennetreks are a really go...

"I have never thought of hunting and fishing as a game of hide and seek but rather a sport where we can make friends an enjoy working and playing with the greatest group of friends a person can have. Maybe I am wrong!" Izzy, you are not wrong. I am now in Wyoming hunting sage grouse. The folks campe...

The whole point is Scott Linden is getting his 30 pieces of silver to announce to the world where your honey holes are. If you want to take a friend hunting or tell him where you like to hunt, THAT is a different subject........................................... Works the same way with fly fishing....

reba

Garmin has excellent customer service. Please call them.............................................

Do you guide Wyoming chukar?

reba

You are heading in the right direction and have the correct dog. Some dogs can blow out their paws/pads in an hour over on the Snake/Brownlee. Early season will have rattle snakes. I don't hunt the area until the first killing frost or snow, a lot of folks do. Three days is too short, coming all the...

Thanks for the information

Put $100 in a savings account every month.

Don't worry about the weight it will happen once the diarrhea is "fixed" "NO FAT DOGS" Sometimes switching dog foods can cause problems such as loose stools. So if you are switching every bag then this may be adding to the problem. I should have asked in the beginning is it really diarrhea or just s...

reba

The British love their dogs.

reba

Deets,

As strange as it may sound do a "goog;e" search for "quail lease in Texas" lots of stuff there.

BTW what breed of dog do you show in the picture. Looks like a GSP with a long tail.

Best wishes

reba

There is a Vet here in town "Atascadero" that is treating one dog per day for rattle snake bites!

reba

Take a look at the Ruff Tough Kennels

Building one will always have seams to collect dirt and the door will also be a problem.

reba

She is now going on 5 five years old,a GSP. I paid $2500 for her sight unseen, last of the litter, delivered by airline. Right now she is laying under my desk. We hunt over 100 days every year. I thought I paid to much, but I would pay it again for this dog! A real cracker jack for sure. WOW! Some d...

Had that problem with a female GSP at the age of 3 years. There is just times when she has go pee. I let her out more often and it solved the problem :D BTW I had to go out side with her to make sure she did her thing. She could run around and check things out and never go pee until I told her and s...

One of my dogs (Reba) is a ACD. When she was a pup she got one of my wife's very young chickens. Reba found me sitting in my travel trailer getting ready for our first bird hunting trip of the season. She dropped the very dead chicken at my feet. I told her she was a very, very good dog. Soooo she w...

reba

You have a beautiful dog.

Size means nothing when it come to finding birds. However a small GSP in ruff country may be better.

Remember NO FAT DOGS!!!!!

I would take your dog without any questions.

I'll pay for shipping.

reba

Pete,

Do another update just for fun.

reba

You really should update both the collar and hand set. Very easy to do on line.

I update every year.

reba

Felix,

What type of birds are you hunting? When I know that I may have more questions.

Thanks

reba

Looks like my GSP Dutch.

My Dutch is a counter surfer and now I now why I didn't get and ice maker.

GOOD ONE!!!

I have a Australian Cattle Dog that is one of the best flushing and retrieving dogs alive. She is pure heck in a quail patch. She also loves to chase down cripples. She does not care if the birds are chukar or sage grouse or what ever. Not much style, just hard charging. Some dogs hunt and other don...

I have big running dogs. Distance is one thing and time to close the distance is another. My dog may be on point 500 - 800 yards out on flat rocky terrain or on point 150 yards out; but I need to find a way down, up or over a set of cliffs. I've had them hold birds close to 25 minutes. These same do...

reba

IMO: 1.) If you know better than the dog does, as to where the wild birds are, then you want a close ranging dog that goes where you want to go. 2.) If you want to find more wild birds, then the guy in number one above, you want a big ranging dog. Then turn it loose and let it hunt, keep your mount ...

reba

I really don't think any dog response well to "negative discipline" What ever that is!

Throw out those books and videos!

reba

YIKES!

I have hunted Wyoming for the past 25 years. Wyoming is NOT the place to go this time of year.

Try New Mexico or Arizona. You will be amazed how cold they can be at night!!!

reba

If the conditions are dry then 15 mph wind will not be good. If there is good moisture in the ground then 15 mph will not be to bad for great dog. I've have had my GSP go on point in windy conditions and walk me in over 150 yards, relocating along the way. So in some cases it's just the experience o...

Brenttos, I am over in Atascadero and I recommend you contact Craig Smith in Tracy. His telephone number is 209-481-4640. Craig Smith (Double C Kennels) has trained both of my GSP's. He does not breed Labs, but he does train and own them, so he will have great contacts. He trains in the mornings, so...

If you are not going to eat big game liver and heart, cook it and feed it to your dogs.

Slice liver and heart up, add small amount of water into pan cook slow for a short period of time. Serve rare into the normal amount of kibble.

reba

I'm very sorry your little girl is so sick.

My thoughts are with you.

reba

Sorry. I have no idea what a bulged disc has to do with cancer.

"A bulging disc injury is a common spine injury sustained to your spine's intervertebral disc. It can occur in your lumbar spine (lower back), thoracic spine (upper and mid-back) or your cervical spine (neck)."
