Well thanks for the reply. We store the food inside the house in ac so that should not be a problem and the backageing is very tuff too.

I buy frontline plus at costco in the XL dog size 88-132lbs size. I put cotents of one package in test tube with stopper os a cap and measure out what the dog needs based on the dogs weight. My Britts are 32 and 30 lbs so i get three doses out of one XL container. This brings down cost and you can g...

Have been feeding Blue Buffalo for a few years and dogs like it but cost has gotten out of hand, $54 for 30 lbs. Dog food adviser has a 3.5 star rating on this BB lam and brown rice. About 3 months ago I moved to 4 health preformance at $37 for 35 lbs and dog like it and dog food adviser gives if 5 ...

I found a corded dremel $1 at yard sale and use it with the drum. Would love to find a cordless one for that price but have not found one yet.

Needed to replace the battery on one of my Garmin DC 30 that was draining faster then the other so I bought this off E-bay and tested it with another DC 30 with OEM battery in it. The HC claimed to get 42 hours of run time with update rate time is set at 10 sec. The standard OMC battery should get 3...

DC-30 and Dc-40 batteries on ebay. Garmin only wants you to buy they new collars and if they do no support the old one you may. Same with old tritronics, garmin not supporting them. Thank goodness for ebay as you can get used or aftermarket parts any day of the week.

That is her at one year when she took first in puppy. She was laught at a few trial breakaways but praised at the 30 min mark but judges and ga...

I shave in april and July, use # 10 blade on head,ears and front neck and chest. # 4 or 5 on body and trim feathering with sizers. I call it a field trial cut, never had any training just watched a pro shave 20 plus dogs and do what he did. I now have 2 britts, one with heavy curly coat(pic.) and on...

I bought one on gunbroker for around $20 new and it will not take blackpowder blanks or the ramset blanks. Will chamber the accorn crimps. If free and you have crimps I would use it with puppies till I run out of crimps. These are not made to last too long so I would save up for a better starter pis...

chicken19590

Yes it will pair. I found a new G3 EXP online for $139 with collar strip and ordered it. Most online dealer are out of stock and these collar will never be made again so if u think you may ever need another or would like to hoard them and sell on ebay later then these people have limited stock. http...

chicken19590

My field 90 is 4 years old and I hope they support for some time. Why would they not support a product that will last forever if taken care of. Will call collar clinic and see what they say, they did show tri-tronics add on collar for $130.

Honda electric shift is problematic. UTV is the way to go but even used they comand a good price.

chicken19590

Well I got a new pup (brit)after my pointer pasted and need another collar so both brits will have hearing aids when they run. The collar I have is 3G exp. Ebay has these used but they go for $150 plus. Have found 3g online ($130)they say they weigh 30% less than exp. Will the 3g work with my field ...

chicken19590

Yes all good but the dog sat down. I would release the dog when the bird fell. I would let the dog get the bird from either the ground or the pup. Just my 2 cents.

chicken19590

I emailed gunx and got an email the next day asking me to call them. I did and talked to the owner and his story is just as Jetjockey said, parts problem and back order they are trying to fill. Owner also said that price point may become a problem as his parts supplier want more $ ( some evern dropp...

chicken19590

Thanks for the info. I was not aware that it was a one man show at Gun-X. I used the alfa at a training day and it is too heavy for me. Had a kimar and it lasted less than 100 rounds. Will make due with the 22 pot iron gun until things change and there are gun x to buy.

chicken19590

Just went ot order and the 209 guns are out of stock. Will keep looking but would like some explimation for this shortage.

chicken19590

No one has this starter pistol in stock, not even the Gun X web site. I ask why?

chicken19590

I would like to find a cheap blank gun that will fire these rounds as I have a few hundred. Bought a cheap alarm gun on gunbroker and these rounds are too long. Would also like the name and model of starter guns that will fire the ramset loads. Yes I would like to find a NEF or H&R but are hard to f...

chicken19590

Would like to know what pistol will shoot the Ramset loads. The one i have will not as the Ramsets are too long. Sold my brook 209 Kimar on ebay and would like to find a 22 blank pistol that will take the Ramsets. I am using my Ruger single 6 with the Ramset know for training.

Just looked and the prices on Ebay are down too about $16 free shipping and there are not as many seller as the were, only about $10 profit at that price for your work in building the card from public domain data maps. It took me about 5 hours to learn how to build the map sets and download to a mic...

chicken19590

These are public domain maps and will last forever. I get about 11 states on a 2 GB micro SD card with room to spare. Ebay is full of people selling these maps for around $20. They will load whaterver you want state wise on a 2 GB micro card. I buy my micro cards on Ebay used in lots for about $3 a ...

I think $80 would be a supper buy. Buy a #4 blade and you have all you need. I never had much luck with the clip on guards.

chicken19590

The oster A 5 is great clipper but they will get hot. I got one from a woman that cuts for a living for $25 but the housing is cracked but they work great. Ebay is a great place to shop for used oster A5 and blades for clippers. You also can get parts for this model but they are not cheap.

After looking and playing with the gun more I find that the firing pin will not retract along with the trigger remaining in the rear fired position. After firing you can see the firing pin between the frame and the cylinder. The reviews on Gun Dog Supply were mostly good with some firing over 3000 r...

chicken19590

Gun is about a year old and the trigger is sticking in the back of the hand gard after firing. Gun has had under 100 loads fired in it. Anyone had this problem? I plan to call GDS on monday to see what they can do as that is where I got it from. If they will not take as a return I may take it apart ...

Only turn your dog if she is getting off course. Let dog run out at breakaway out of sight and keep your mouth closed. Let your dog run lines of cover out as far as she will run. Do not try to qaurter your dog at all. A dog running big and independent and covering field edges with speed and style is...

chicken19590

Did not sleep well knowing Bobbie's Dog was missing as I have been through this for 4 hours and it made me buy the 220 before I would let my dog run agian off leash. I also bought the topo map SDmicro card for my garmin and it is worth it's weight in gold as it will show trails and streams/rivers th...

During hunting season I give my dogs cooked Deer ham and shoulder bones. I give as a treat and only let them chew for an hour or so. My bird dogs love deer season!

chicken19590

Start with the level your dog is currently at. JH tests can be awful and you could have a puppy running with your broke or semi broke dog. Keep that in mind when you sign up. Also let the judge know its your first test and they will usually help you out. I know people that have started at the maste...

Looks like a Zip or Zipper to me. reg. name could be Nova zipped by Me.

The pointer has flea's. Sign me up.

chicken19590

What type/breed of a dog is that? Never seen anything like it, can't be a setter or maybe they are different up north.

chicken19590

You are taking a BIG chance teaching sit to a pointing dog as one of the foundation comands. For the first 6 months soialization is the most inportant thing you should be doing along with come, whoa, kennel and developing pray drive and independence. The last 2 may be more in the breeding than the t...

We have had 4 or 5 AKC placements and our girl was wearing a bell in all of them. We had one judge have us take the bell off because the brace mate was having a problem with the bell and we still placed in that stake. Our girl is only 29 lbs and you hear her long before you see her, she is liver roa...

I will put black tape over the hose and am in the process of redesigning the storage tank so that it will hold about 15 gals of water. I will only use this system when there is no freezing temps.

chicken19590

I used 6 nipples and set at about 6 inches high. 6 nipplies is overkill.

chicken19590

The Kilmar 209 is good for the money and primers are $4.50 a 100 but it is bigger and heaver than the cheap 22 guns.

chicken19590

The avatar head shape sure looks like there was a pit bull in the gene pool. Post some more shots but I do not see this passing as a E pointer.

chicken19590

Astro real life range is 1mile to 1.25mile in most hunting or trialing areas. Not sure how garmin gets their range, must be over water like the fsr radios, they claim up to 35 miles but I have never had much more than 2 mile range and that was talking one mountain to the other mountain across the va...

My female is 29.8 lbs and is 2 years old this May. The 60 +lbs brittanies I have seen look nothing like the breed standard and I beleive are a recent man made dog. Might call then an American Brittany Verson # 2.

chicken19590

I think I will take the 6 nipples out and clean them up, remove all pipe sealant and try either pvc cement or silicone sealant. With time I think I can get this right.

chicken19590

Well I got the nipples and installed them in a 3/4 pvc pipe and am having a problem with geting a good seal between nipple and pvc. The instructions call to drill a 11/32 hole, well that drill bit is hard to find so I used 5/16 and sealed with pipe sealant. I have leaks. I got a good seal attaching ...

chicken19590

I have a JR and we tested the range and it will work out to about 150 yds at most. Other than the range problem we like the collar. We call our JR the dog park collar and use it at the dog park and in the house only. We will buy a pro 100 or 200 when we ever get the funds.

chicken19590

Sounds like a over priced house pet to me. Most dog like this end up in pound or shelter and are worth $50 at most.

My small britt 2 years old and 29.8 lbs wears her collar on the flank, has from day one at about 1 year old when with the trainer and this works well.
