Gun Dog Forum

This is an Interesting site - http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ Of course we want to feed our dogs the best food we can, but the reality is we feed our dogs the best food we can afford. You do realize that the link you gave is to a rating by a dog food company. Guess whose food came out the best. We ...

I'm a new trainer too so I understand you want all from your dog. That being said I don't remember how old or how long you have been working with him but I believe you need to let up on him some and let him point. Make it fun and not so much pressure to get a "trained and steady" dog. I know it is h...

Congrats to the winner. Thanks for the contest. And now I'll just have to buy them for myself...

I'm in and this would be a great Christmas present for someone with a brand new puppy and a half trained older puppy. And I am new to this too...

Chris

Nice looking pup. He is the same age as my Weim, yes they can be a bit hardheaded at this age. You live not too far North of where the Mid-Ohio NAVHDA trains. http://www.midohionavhda.com/ We don't have training again until March but they are a great group and have helped me alot training my first g...

Heres Gunner feeling fine and Happy after a cooler day run.

Beautiful dogs and a lovely Momma.

We have not had much luck with traps. So we have just started waiting until they roost at night, shine a light and net them. Works pretty well. Hope you have better luck. Good net work though.

Yay! for you and your dog!! I am currently trying to get Gunner ready for his test. I totally understand how nervous and excited you must have been. And to do so great. How wonderful. Congrats.

Welcome Brad, I too am new to Hunting birds and bird dogs. So it is nice to see someone who is new too. I am in Portsmouth. That is a little bit away from where you are. You will have to post some pics of your girl when you get her. Have fun they are a handful but a good handful.

I feed Tast of the Wild. Gunner likes it and does well on it. Shiny coat and no GI issues. Have fed this brand to my dogs for a while now including my Great Pyrenee, who had food issues.

Chris

Good morning, Colin, that sounds quite wonderful. Gunner has not yet been gun exposed other than at a pretty fair distance. I would love to get over that way but I'll be in NC that weekend visiting my DTR and SIL. Maybe next time. Thanks again Pam, I have already gathered that. I also have Triathlon...

Very Pretty Pam.

I live outside Urbana, work in Dublin. Seems there were two NAVHDA groups last I checked, the one in Delaware and another down towards Athens. I have chatted a couple times with foloks from the Delaware group over the years but I am not a member. I know where that is, I have done some Triathlons ov...

Hello Colin,
Where in West Central Ohio are you? I am going to be going to the Training Day in April at the Mid-Ohio NAVHDA. Just wondering if you know the group or are a part of? Love to meet people in the general area. Have a nice and soggy weekend.

Chris

Thanks guys,
I am really enjoying reading all the posts. I have ready learned stuff and love how helpful everyone seems to be. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Chris

I have a Weim. I love him for his quickness, intelligence and his overall lovability. Since he is my first bird dog and also my companion dog it seems a good fit.

Chris

Hi my name is Chris (Christine) I'm 49 and married to a great guy I currently have one dog..shhh, he doesn't know he is a dog most of the time. His name is Gunner. He is 7 moths old and a Weim I have never bird hunted but am looking forward to learning and helping Gunner learn. I am self employed, d...

Hey yall', I just found your site and it is wonderful. My name is Chris (Christine) and I have a 7 month old Weim, Gunner. He is my first Weim and my first hunting dog. So I am a total newbie to the world of hunting birds. I have hunted deer and wild pig in the past and am really excited about learn...
