I never trained her to retrieve my arrows. just something she picked up. When ever I would miss and lose a arrow I would tell her { FIND IT] and when she did I would praise her. Now when I practice she will sit in front of me watching. And when the arrow flies she runs down to the target and makes s...

I have a English pointer {female} that I hunt birds and rabbits with. I also hunt with a bow and she is great at retrieving my arrows. As far as a house dog she is excellent inside but she does shed a bit. I thought being a short haired dog that she wouldn't shed as much as she does. Buts its nothin...

Now that make sense to me. Thanks monster.

Mstng_ray

Again you have missed the point of the question. The point being HEALTHIER. Yes she is doing good on the other. I could survive on beer and chips. But are they the healthiest choices. NO. Anyways thank you to everyone else for their input.

Mstng_ray

Thanks monster dad.

Mstng_ray

I said it seems healthier. If u had read it before giving a smart "bleep" answer ezzy. My dog will eat anything ( even rabbit "bleep" ) but I'm sure there is something better.

Mstng_ray

What's everyone's thoughts on BLUE BUFFALO dog food. I currently feed PURINA PRO PLAN with good results. The BLUE BUFFALO just seems healthier from what I've read.

anybody know where i can buy some birds for training close to reno nv.

Mstng_ray

My pointer loves a good rabbit or coyote turd, but never her own. Just hoping she grows out of it.

Mstng_ray

Oh ok so she's about where she should be. Cool thanks

Mstng_ray

Well guys and girls she may end up being petite. Like I have mentioned before she is a GSP mix( mother GSP) who knows what the daddy is. Just about 5 1/2 months and right at 30 lbs. She had a nice growth spurt a couple months ago but has since slowed. Her drive to hunt is incredible and we will cont...

My girl does the same thing and I end up with 15 socks and my wife's bra under our bed. So now the doors stay shut.

Mstng_ray

That's why I hunt them every chance I get. They don't have to be sick to charge you or your dog. They slip into our neighborhoods at night looking for easy meals ( cats& dogs). And I'm talking deep in town several miles from the desert.

Mstng_ray

We have been having a lot of coyote attacks on pets here in reno nv. I even chased one around my neighborhood for about 20 min. I have seen more yotes in town than out in the hills. And I have warned all my neighbors to becareful while walking their dogs.

My pup goes back to the vet next week to get put on a regular heart worm monthly schedule. But it got me wondering about other worm problems. I haven't seen anything in her stool. And I have no reason to believe she has worms. She was wormed before I got her. But should I be giving her something els...

Mstng_ray

Hi everyone. Need some help or trix from you guys. My pup is now 5 months and smart as heck. But I'm having trouble getting her to come to the truck when it's time to go home. ( I don't blame her I would stay out in the hills too) but when mama calls we gotta go. She will COME Everytime at home in t...

Just wondering what type of kennel people prefer for in the house. Right now my pup sleeps in a pet carrier style kennel. But she needs a bigger one and I have been looking at the wire style kennels. What do u guys think? Open style wire or the carrier type.

Mstng_ray

I cut-off the treats the other day. We have been training a lot and the treats have been flowing. I will watch her today see if it starts getting better.

Mstng_ray

She's 17 weeks old and eats and chews everything. All shots current and has been wormed. Plus I always check for worms in the stool. Her schedule is a little off because I've been on nights. So her eating and excercise isn't always at the same time. Also because she's not eating at the same time alw...

Mstng_ray

My pup has had diarrhea for the last 2 days. She's eating and drinking fine. And seems to feel ok other than having some runny poop. Any home remedies or ideas? I haven't changed anything ( food-excercise ext. ) not sure what's going on with her.

Mstng_ray

Just wondering what's a good age to start really getting serious. The pup just turned 16 weeks. She has a good bird sense about her and I have used a wing and scents off and on. But mostly been working on commands and house breaking. I run her out in the hills and her confidence is good and really s...

Mstng_ray

I didn't realize having a mowed lawn with a few flowers was a fancy yard. I do have a dog run for her I just thought maybe she didn't have to be locked up all the time. I guess for now ill just have to keep an eye on her.

Mstng_ray

She's digging up rocks and roots to chew on.

Mstng_ray

Like it says my beautiful yard is getting destroyed. Now I expected to lose some flowers and a few dead grass spots. But she is digging holes like a "bleep" gopher. She is never unsupervised for more than 20 mins out back. But that's all it takes to dig a grave. I run her in the hills everyday and m...

Mstng_ray

That's what the wife tells me,she also says I never listen to her. Or at least I think that's what she says.

Mstng_ray

Well as I have said before my GSP mix (rescue pup) seems to be small. We're not sure what she is mixed with ( mother is GSP). She is just about 14 weeks and about 14 lbs. So what do you guys think? How big we're your pups at that age.

Mstng_ray

My 13 week old pup isn't eating much either. Just picks at it off and on all day. And just like yours she will eat treats all day if I let her. Have tried different flavored foods but the same brand. Had her at the vet the other day and everything checked out fine. Hope you get it figured out

Mstng_ray

That's a good looking pup. Can't wait for my GSP mix to start growing if she ever does.

Mstng_ray

Well I didn't see her limp today. But I did see her trying to climb up on the patio furniture. Maybe she fell off or twisted something doing her acrobatics.

Mstng_ray

Thanks KNINE that sounds like a good plan. Wife called back later and said she looked fine. So maybe like u say some growing pains or she banged into something. I will keep a eye on it.

Mstng_ray

She's almost 3 months. I need to take her in soon for more shots then ill have the vet take a look I guess.

Mstng_ray

I noticed it earlier while she was playing. And my wife just call concerned about it. She runs around on it just fine ( she's a maniac) but then sometimes I catch her pimp walking. Didn't see anything in her toes. Hope her hips are ok.

Mstng_ray

It is the same pup. I will try to figure out how to post her pic tomorrow.

Mstng_ray

Ok guys here's my story. I got a rescued pup 10 weeks old ( GSP mix ) face looks a little border collie. My question is how can I test her to see if she will hunt at all. I realize 1 breed hunts while the other heards.

Mstng_ray

Hey thank you guys that helped calm me. The reason I asked was she
Is mixed with what I don't know maybe a border collie. But only really see
It in her face,not as blocked as she should be I think. Anyways maybe she will hunt
I hope. Shows interest in birds. If not I'm sure she will be a good friend.

Mstng_ray

Hi
New guy here.
Just got a 9 week old GSP and I was wondering how big she should be
On average. She seems small to me, hoping I didn't get a midget.
