Gun Dog Forum

Agreed :D ..i definitely dont think its the "norm" on here but i just see some comments and think man i wouldnt talk to someone with such ignorance that is simply asking a question...ruth I think being anonymous must bring out a certain boldness that wouldn't exist face-to-face. I know that when I ...

Congratulations!

I can't stand the way the poop smells on Pro Plan. *pukes*

The question is not "do they hunt"; the question is "do they hunt well enough that breeding them will result in an improved breed?" It's the breeding of those dogs generation upon generation that has resulted in segments of all breeds being incapable of being reasonable effective sporting dogs. JMO...

I don't know how many posts I have or how many posts are in this thread.

Did I win? hehe

http://itspinone.com/mismich.htm That's the litter page which shows both parents.


I was at the KY FT Friday night and Saturday morning. That's when I got her. Did I meet you?

She is from Mals-About Kennel, breeder Pat Fendley.

Thank you! We think she's great.

Thanks! Haha yeah, she was getting sleepy at that point.

Have a great holiday season!

It wasn't meant offensively. I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to it.

It may be a good idea to wrap it just while she's outside.

lol... there are so many abbreviations that means all sorts of different things.

I go through central KY a few times a year. Welcome!

SpinJen, BS is not politically correct, nor polite. Most people just use Mark, BigS or Shooter to abbreviate. I'll assume it was an oversight on your part. We've tried very hard on this site to establish differences of opinion while keeping a modicum of decorum. I apologize for abbreviating your na...

This thread is great for me! I appreciate all the information. I have been looking at the English Setters since I saw the pictures posted of Pine Creek Ryman Daisy and her buddy. Beautiful dogs!


Edit: While I'm thinking about it, what types of events other than conformation are the ES suited for?

SpinJen, Based upon your most recent post I believe birddogger had it right with his second post. Hey BS, In my last response, I was trying to answer Ezzy's question that she directed at me. Wonder how many millions Hill's spend running all of the vet schools in the country? Do you have any idea? I...

I know for fact that Hills ran the pet food training that Vet students receive at U of I 3 years ago because my good friend was in the Veterinary program there and she told me so. Are you so set in your ways that you do not want to explore the *possibility* that you *could* be wrong? You've made you...

Great pics!

Hills, the makers of Science Diet, run the entire pet food curriculum at the University of Illinois, at least they did a few years ago. Vets are taught which foods are ok for pets by the makers of a really crappy, overpriced food that has corn as the number 1 ingredient. That says something.

I'm very sorry for your loss of Annie.

Thank you all for the replies!

Thank you, mcbosco!

Can you tell me why feeding grain-free would cause the dog to be so lean? The Blue Buffalo I have has 15% fat. Is that too low?

Thank you so much for your very informative post, whiterock! I really appreciate the time you put into it and what you said makes sense to me.



birddogger-- I'm not sure how you can infer my tone via some text on the internet. Maybe I should have used more smileys?

Hello, Do any of you feed grain-free foods? If so, which ones do you like the best? My pup's breeder has her on Purina One Pro-plan Selects Chicken and Rice Puppy formula, but I do not like the ingredients one bit. From the proplan.com website: Chicken, brewers rice, poultry by-product meal, corn gl...

Thanks guys!

Hello, My name is Jenny and I live right outside Bristol, TN near the VA border. I am bringing home my Spinone Italiano puppy Friday from Pat Fendley of Mals-About Kennels in Kentucky. I'm actually picking her up from Pat at the Kentuckiana Pointing Breeds Association's field trial which will be my ...
