Thanks Ryan. I know there into the FT’s. I’m not myself, just trying to find that “one” right dog

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Prairie wind GSP’s kennel in Wyoming? The folks have been very helpful, responsive and willing to answer any questions which has been great and I was looking to see if anyone has hunted behind or had any experience with their dogs. Feel free t...

Man that's awesome!

GSP because it’s What my buddy had who I hunted with and was mostly familiar with. Prior to my GSP I had previously had two labs and a Belgium mal that I had for work. So far I’ve been very impressed with my GSP and looking to add another to the fleet

Tenderfoot- I tend not to look at COI numerticals because I feel their focus is somewhat misdirected. soooo, I went and looked this up: ......... Putting your dog’s COI result into perspective The COI calculator provides you with a percentage score; the lower the percentage, the lower the degree of...

Not trying to start an argument but trying to flesh out some details in a dog I’m interested in. When it comes to inbreeding is there a cut off or coefficient you don’t want to cross? From what little I know, doesn’t inbreeding occurs to try and achieve certain traits or qualities, but then on the f...

I road using my quad that has a 6’ tube extending off the side and dogs attached to a doubled up bungee on a harness. Seems to work great and bungee enables her to pull with some resistance. I’m sure my neighbors think I’m crazy but it works

I have the 550 plus and like it. I was having tracking issues as well, returned the device now it works great. One thing I've learned is to keep transmitter out so it maintains a signal. I was putting it in one of my ammo pouches and when I pulled it out to see where dog was it would take awhile to ...

Looks awesome to me! Great looking dog

Awesome looking dog and beautiful scenery!

I got it swapped out and it’s working fantastic.

After talking to customer service i updated software, which I did even though its brand new. Tried it again yesterday and same issue. If working properly I believe the directional arrow should always self correct pointing towards the dog regardless of which direction the handheld device is oriented?...

The directional arrow bounces around pointing in nearly 180 degree different direction than where the dog is and the north indicator is way off as well. I don’t know what’s going on but all I could think of is I noticed the metal ring from the dog collar was rubbing on the collars charging terminals...

Those of you using the 550 plus, has anyone experienced interference from the metal ring on your dog collar?

Did you build the platform on your Ranger or buy it?

I made it myself....3/4" plywood with 2 pieces of 3/4" square tubing supports underneath to keep from sagging under the weight of the dog's and crates. Held in place by the GripPro ATV pocket anchors.

I use a Howling dog harness and an older one I bought locally at a Horse Tack Shop hooked up to my Polaris.

That seems to exactly it. After several days of recovery, I’ve hunted her again and haven’t had any more issues.

I don’t know about a harness. I run my dog on remote dirt road while I ride a quad that she has learned to run in front good distance. (Probably not the safest). We started short runs about 6 months old and worked up from there. I figured if I’m hunting her running miles, why couldn’t she exercise.

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings to see couple pics. Just sayin....some of us gotta live through others

Reba, any updates? Would love to see some pics

In regards to the hound heater, I have a k9 condo dog den that has a hound heater. https://www.k-9kondo.com/all-new-dog-den-and-hound-heater-free-shipping/ I don’t live in such harsh conditions as most who have already posted but during winter -10 or -15 would be expected and with thermostat set at ...

Great thanks. Good to know it’s normal. I assume her feet will toughen up as the season progresses. Hopefully

My 1 1/2 year old GSP recently experienced bleeding toe nails after a hunt. Her nails are trimmed appropriately ( I believe) and she’s is routinely exercised and ran on a gravel road for several miles with no issues. After one day of Chukar hunting her nails started bleeding and her feet seemed sore...

Correction $755 was the current bid

I’ve held and shot a 20 ga. Really lightweight and pointed great. Currently there are a couple 20 ga available on gunbroker, one for $755. Haven’t seen a 28 ga though. Good luck

Looks great! I’m jealous

Work765,
Depending on where your coming from in so. Cal it’s probably a drive for you but I’d recommend Western Wing Kennels in Nevada. I just took my GSP there and am happy with results. Good luck in your search.

LaTEXGSP,
Do you have females?

Thanks
