I am thinking about buying the LL Bean Partridge 2 strap vest as its a bit more in my price range and seems to have good solid reviews. I am very interested in the WW but just can't justify the cost vs my useage.

Ranger351

I am in the same boat of looking for one. I really like the wing works but its a bit expensive for me. The bucks bags one looked nice but I think I decided on the LL Bean partridge 2 strap vest. It has good reviews and is more affordable at $120 with free shipping.

Looking to train a lab pup. Considering this set. Mainly a waterfowl dog but might do a small amount of upland as well. Any opinions on why this set will or won't be good?

Ranger351

I've called every academy store and went to store managers and none will ship ffl and I asked about if I drove there could I buy one and was told no with an Az DL

Ranger351

I know academy sells them but being as I don't live in a state with one they won't sell to me

Ranger351

Yes I did know it was for heartworms. I am just trying to figure out what I should get.

Ranger351

Ok so where would I buy ivermectin or what should I buy? I went to the pet/feed store and this is what they said to get for ivermectin.

Ranger351

I read in a thread somewhere about using ivermectin to worm a dog and some were using the paste for horses in small doses. I bought a tube of zimecterin gold to use but it states it can be fatal if used on dogs. Please advise.

Ranger351

Indiana is the closest but they have a 24hr hold on getting one and since I won't be able to stay overnight that makes it really difficult. No one has them in Az either

Ranger351

Guessing no one has one for sale?

Ranger351

Ok well I have been looking to buy one for awhile and am actively searching classifieds so if any one has one in 12ga they would part with then pm me with info. Thanks for the opinions guys.

Ranger351

What was it you didn't like about yours?

Ranger351

So I know the opinions are mixed on these guns because the aren't one of the killer B's but from those who own or have owned one what is your opinion on them? I know they arent a 1k$ gun but are they decent

Ranger351

I am sure it has been discussed on here quite a bit but I am currently going to be getting a 15 week old lab puppy and I am unsure what to feed. I used to use diamond and Canidae but that was several years ago I've been out of this for a while I'm not sure what is currently good for approximately a ...

Ranger351

I got a clown/slickerfemale pup and she runs all the time. Two speeds either cuddly/sleeping or 100+mph. Everyone I talked to says usually something similar.

Ranger351

Was thinking the same thing. I'd post my likes but it is a family forum.

Ranger351

Well fleas seem to be a problem from all the rabbits and coyotes where I been going and I've only been out once this year I haven't had to pull at least one tick off. As far as mosquitoes they're bad most every year. I live not far from the Salt river so that may account for some too. I'm out at the...

Ranger351

Well ticks fleas and mosquitoes are horrid here in Az.

Ranger351

Any opinions on this stuff. According to commercials it covers more than the rest. Is it any good?

Ranger351

Sorry to piggyback but now I'm curious if anyone would rent theirs? Prefer to rent than buy.

Ranger351

I'll have to google him and learn more thanks. I just didn't know if it was worth it to own.

Ranger351

Saw some videos in gundog magazine by bob west for training pointing dogs. Curious if anyones actually watched these and if they're worth getting? Thanks.

Ranger351

Read it in a previous thread and heard a few talk about buttermilk or yogurt and one said he used cottage cheese. I'm curious on info or opinions or both on if and if so how beneficial this is. Thanks.

Ranger351

Canidae please

Ranger351

I do know my dog isn't the same as my children but when he shows signs the food isn't working and wont eat it I felt the need to ask for help. So I did and tried what was suggested and nothing changed. So I changed foods and all of his skin and coat issues improved. (not related I'm sure. hahaha) bu...

Ranger351

Well diamond was broken so I changed and am happy with canidae now. I know from a previous post they will have their own plant soon I was simply curious if I should worry since it's still made by diamond. Btw I live in Az.

Ranger351

So after problems with my dog and trying different diamond foods I switched to canidae and am pleased with their coats and appetites and stool. Question is since it's made in diamonds building and they are having so many recalls should I worry?

Ranger351

Well I tried to tell ya, see I aint the only one that dont like wet food. Hahaha just giving you a hard time.

Ranger351

I feed twice a day but I base mine on how my dog did on feeding once a day. I noticed he didn't seem as productive only feeding in the evenings.

Ranger351

My vet suggested the fish oil as well. I use the same method. But I'm doing one pill a day. Well I bought some extreme athlete and some buttermilk so I'll give it a try. Thanks for all the advice and feel free to give any more suggestions.

Ranger351

Ea is extreme athlete made by diamond. Yes my dog is in and out and a huge part of our family. But I also notice when his crate has enough hair in it to make a wig.

Ranger351

So feed it to him or wait?

Ranger351

Great I just bought a new bag of diamond ea

Ranger351

Dang mines 55 lbs and I always thought he was smaller compared to other gsp I see.

Ranger351

Baths no more than once a month usually every other month. The dandruff has been consistent since early fall season. So no its not from the bath. The bath helps wash it away for a day or so.

Ranger351

when he was a pup I posted about food because he was on lamb and rice large breed puppy and had really bad diarrhea. I adjusted his feed several times but was overwhelmingly told he may not be digesting the lamb. So I switched to ea. His coat has not been shiny since our fall or winter times when he...

Ranger351

When I pick her out I bring her home.

Ranger351

Ok I'll try the buttermilk idea first and I'll brush more often. If that doesn't work I guess I'll try pro pac. I've heard about sportsmix and sportsmans pride and black gold and such. But heard good and bad. I've always heard diamond is great for the $ thats why I fed it.

Ranger351

Ok so I've decided to wait til the 56th day. Thanks for all of the advice.

Ranger351

I've thought about ordering food from online too just to get things I dont have around here but I'm leary of doing it. I heard about buttermilk or plain yogurt too. When he was a pup I gave him whole milk once and he had the squirts bad after that. I'll try anything I just want him to like his food ...

Ranger351

he's a gsp and gets brushed at minimum once a week. He also sheds like crazy but I was told thats common in Az with our everchangin weather 95 today but saturday is low 70's

Ranger351

So my dog is just over a year. Started on diamond large breed but constant diarrhea so changed to ea and he did good but his coat doesn't seem shiny at all and he has flakes and a white dusty powder coming off every time I brush or pet him. So I tried just diamond chicken and rice, no changes except...

Ranger351

I guess I'm just torn because I read all the responses from other threads. The dam isn't doing a whole lot with the pups and they're on hard food and already using a dog door. I guess I kinda felt like the socializing from my dog and myself and family would do a lot of positive help as well. The bre...

Ranger351

Ok so I have first pick and all other pups have deposits placed so entire litter is sold. Breeder asked if I would like to pick my pup and bring home this weekend (49th day) or next weekend at 8 wks. Once I pick mine all other pups will be picked up in a couple days. So I have a 1 yr old gsp at home...

Ranger351

Ok so if I have an older dog and a new pup should I hunt them together or separately?

Ranger351

Ok so 6, 8, 12 & 16 weeks? I thought it used to be 6, 9, 12, 15 weeks every 3 weeks but now I'm reading people doing 6 & 8 wks and I didnt know you could do them that close.

Ranger351

At what ages do you give your pup shots and what shots are you giving? No right or wrongs just wanna hear what you do.

Ranger351

Never been to one but I've heard there are some here in Az. K9 should post there info as I know I'm not the only one here in Az who reads the board.

Ranger351

Wife's and daughters names end in jo

Ranger351

Ok still considering names. How bout just regular names maybe southern or cowgirl names. Keep them coming especially anything unusual not heard everyday.
