Re: Pro Plan vs. Taste of the Wild

I'm feeding my GWP TOW High Prairie Canine Formula. He was eating Pro Plan when I first got him and his feces smelled terrible.

Re: Favorite Gauges for Upland?

I've shot 12, 20, 28, and 410 over the past 50 yrs. I enjoy the 28 now but 40 years ago I only owned a Remington 1100 and SXS Fox in 410. Don't remmeber why I sold them except for the cost of ammo.

I have had a lot of luck with rescue dogs, 1 Brittany and 2 GWP's. The first 2, Brittany & GWP, I had no knowledge of if they could hunt and as amazed to discovered that they both were great gun dogs.
