Don't be so sensitive. When you post a question on a public forum, you get ALL answers, not just the ones you agree with or the ones you like. I doubt you will help yourself by complaining about the answers you don't want to hear. If you will read and reflect on the information posted by some very ...

+1 for getting the dog to lay down. That being said, I remember when I was going to college with my shorthair at her age of 2...$%*#@ that!!! It was awful :D You are doing the best you can between classes and study to get the dog out, you consider yourself an outdoorsy person so it's no problem rig...

He's also in the process of training you..... :lol: Now after he's been run he needs to learn to settle, put a lead on him in the house and put it on your foot or stand on it while you are reading, on the computer, phone......whatever. He needs to learn to settle and lay by you until your ready to ...

you have a dog that needs to RUN. if you are not taking him out and letting him burn off that energy then you have to deal with the consequences. When my GSP lived in the house if he didn't go to the field 3-5days a week to run for an hour or more he was un bearable in the house. A walk on the leas...

Haha no, I didnt misread I knew what I was getting into with this dog and honestly I can not complain. He has been awesome so far, and fits in with the family perfectly, this is really the only thing he needs to work on outside of his bird training other than whining he knows what he can and cant do...

Ha all this dog does is run. He is up around 730 when my girlfriend goes to student teaching. She lets him out for 20-30 minutes brings him in and feeds him. He usually comes by me and naps for about 30 minutes after that and then its on for him. Usually between 10 and 12 in the morning I am out the...

Ok, Ive posted about Hans before he is an 8 month old GSP, lastly about his broken leg that he has fully recovered from now only 13 weeks later and he is back to full speed and activity. We bounce back and forth between two houses, one back home and one up here at school. Back home he is fine, other...

Also it was not a fracture, clean break in the ulna and radius on his front right leg. The radius was repaired with a plate and 9 screws, he was in a cast for two days after the surgery when they instructed to take his cast off. He is 7 months old, which makes this even more of a pain! Growth plate ...

In no way am I rushing is rehab. I am following exactly what my vet has said, I guess I should be more specific next time, forums always convey wrong information. When I say he runs in the house he is doing this in the time I let him out of the crate to go outside, eat etc. I have followed the vets ...

A couple weeks ago I posted the story about how my pup broke his front right leg. Im sure the vet will give me ideas, but in about 2 or 3 weeks he goes back for xrays to just make sure everything has healed ok. They expect full use of his leg with no long term effects with this break and surgery, so...

Actually Im pretty greatful for the friends I have, they have all thrown money together for me and are also asking friends and family. i dont know what id do without them.

So what a weekend. I went home from school and like always my 6 month old GSP Hans was super excited to go. Like our usual routine I stop at a friends house on my way to my parents. He has a 10 month old pup of his own. Well him and I are catching up in the driveway, the two dogs are playing like al...

Maybe we should start a thread for hunt finders? Or maybe this could be it, would a great resource for folks new to hunting to get a chance to get out with more experienced folks, would be especially good to get young folks interested. Hope you find a good opportunity Bigdaddy. I think it could be ...

I am in the same boat as you. Have not hunted birds since I was a kid and have a 6 month old GSP I need to get on birds. I am in the Winona area.

recon033

Im sure most of you regulars have seen my posts in the last couple weeks about my GSP. But anyway my 6 month old GSP just returned from a two week gun and bird intro. He has a crap ton of prey drive and I am happy with him. This is my first bird dog and being in College I cant afford to always get h...

recon033

He is on the check chord so pulling him in is the only option. Without the check chord you wouldnt be able to get him close enough. He does the same thing with a bumper or a ball in the back yard. When he is in the house he retrieves to hand over and over and over again. You could use the same bumpe...

recon033

I have not shot any birds over him as I have seen that the bird is a reward for him after he finds and points it. I pick him up tomorrow from the trainer and Ill see more about what he has done. The trainer has used both live and dead birds for him and has him on a check chord the entire time.

recon033

I have a GSP name Hans, great dog very happy with him. He shows a lot of prey drive and knows his commands. But hes still a puppy and really acts like one sometimes. I had some help with him on introduction to birds and gun fire. He has had a few encounters before this but this was two weeks straigh...

recon033

Lol thank you all for the comments. This is my first dog on my own, I am 24 but have raised some pups before. First one I plan on working with though so I am VERY new to all this. Needless to say I am very happy with the drive and desire to please this dog has, I just need to get him on some birds. ...

recon033

very nice looking shorthair? whats his breeding? Elhew or Miller. HA Good looking dog. Like others have said, you've got to find some birds. My reason for needing birds soon is, in both of those pictures there are holes that it looks like a critter ran down. He is probably using his nose. You need ...

recon033

Ya I am guessing they are raccoons as we have them all over our yard. Along with muskrats. However there was a duck nest under there this spring as well, I cant imagine they would be this far from the pond this time of year but maybe he got a whiff of the nest again?

recon033

Alot of those places are about an hour drive. I think Ill go to back to edgerton, Erica just said I could bring him over. Otherwise Lomira is close, is there a website or a number to get a hold of him? And yes glor loral kennels is the one I was talking about.

recon033

I am feeding the large breed and he does get 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night. his stools are also good and regular.

recon033

Ya I was going to email Erica again once I get some time. Everywhere is about an hour and a half from us including them, I am located in Washington county, the West Bend area. Thank you all for the input!

recon033

Thank you all for the input. I dont know what you mean by breeding, Im new to this site, he is from high rolln kennels. His parents are high rolln's proposition and high rolln's money pits a blaze. (sonny and blaze)

I have a 19 week old GSP. Since day one he never gets excited about eating. The vet says hes healthy, and he does eat. I have the same feeding schedule, 7am and 7pm. When I put the food down in the morning sometimes he wont pay attention to it until noon. Same with at night. Sometimes he takes a cou...

Thank you, and they are great together. Monkey see monkey do, they follow each other everywhere, and just play and play and play and play. It has been a big relief that she took onto him so fast!

recon033

Thanks you! Thats where my problem has been though. There is no where close to me to buy birds. There is one kennel that trains labs but also does some point training for their labs. They have pigeons HOWEVER I have called them to either try and buy birds from them or have them help me out with putt...

Just an update, They have been BEST friends since day one!

Thats awesome! I have a 19 week old GSP and he doesnt seem to like the water much. Hes been in the water, but comes right back out and wont go after anything thrown into the water. I hope this is just a phase. Then again he is so monkey see monkey do with other dogs, maybe all I have to do is take h...

So I have a german shorthair, he is an AWESOME AWESOME DOG...He has such a HUGE desire to please, listens great very snuggly and loves other dogs as well. My one worry is, he is 19 weeks now and I have yet to get him on his first bird. I just havent had the time this summer and I feel like I am negl...

I really wish I could come to this, but the Army has already recalled me to show up for something in Chicago, why I dont know. This sounds like a very awesome thing to go to and I hope there are more opportunities like this in the future.

recon033

You guys are exactly the type of people I have been looking for, however I wont have my pup until May when he is 8 weeks. Hopefully there are more of these this summer!

recon033

I did decide on getting a male. I agree completely that it is in her genes as sweet as she is. When the dogs are together there will be constant supervision. That is one thing I am worried about is her just having one snap. Other than this issue I just have to figure out a plan for what to do with t...

Thank you guys for the reply. I just want to make sure I can do this right. Athena has a big desire to please us so when she does get to rough a simple HEY is enough to get her to stop. I should probably try and use another word for that though. As for Athena she does not have a kennel or a crate, s...

Hey all first post so bear with me if this has been discussed. I am getting a GSP in May. I am living with a good friend in a 2 story house with 2 acres and a pond.
