Gun Dog Forum

I'm going through the exact same thing. My Pudelpointer will choke himself out pulling to get to other people or dogs. The pinch collar helps, but he still does it every single time. All the pinch collar does is keep him from jerking our arms out of socket. He's nearly 7 months old. I am tagging thi...

If she served 180 consecutive active duty days (ie...a deployment) then she could be eligible for certain benefits. That doesn't include basic training, AIT, ect....The best way is to go through a group that handles VA claims. They differ from state to state, but Veterans of Foreign Wars is one grou...

Awesome, congrats!!

Awesome!!!!

Good luck, I'm thinking you'll be a father come the end of the week haha.....

Shocker.....any updates?

That's good to know. Thanks Fithntr and fun dog.

Jeff has been great. We had originally wanted a female, but my wife just loved Fin so we opted for a male. I'm gonna order the DVD, much appreciated!

Also....does the perfect start DVD begin at the level when you would bring your pup home? As in having obedience type training and such? Thanks!

Thanks for the tips Fithunter!! I plan on building a coop.

He is from the Fin and Zayda breeding at Ripsnorter's Kennel. Probably close to your neck of the woods in OH!! What about your pup?

I'll look into that DVD, I've just been reading and watching NAVHDA material thus far.

Mine can't get here fast enough. I'm excited for sure!!

That is a genius idea lol....our local park is full of ducks and geese.

I wish I could help you with that model, but I've never owned it. I'm sure it would be fine though. Especially as a 50 yard and under type handgun. I do prefer a slightly longer barrel for steadiness and range. But that's just what fits me. I own a Smith model 657 and its a really nice deer pistol. ...

Thanks Karen....I am new to all of this and really concerned that I won't do my dog justice. I'm not entering the FT world, but really want to good in the NAVHDA tests.

I have been a member for a little while, but just lurking and trying to get a feel for the forum. There's a lot of good info here!! I have a pup coming in early May after a 1 year wait. They whelped on 3/11! Its a Pudelpointer and I have 1st pick of the males. I'm 35 with 2 girls aged 5.5 and 2.5. T...

Just curious, do you send your dogs to a trainer because you have so many dogs to get trained?
