If you want something that lasts then why not try one of these? I like something light and quiet in the field. I have a friend who makes these. I have two of them and really like them. It's actually a Jaeger lead which can be converted to use many different ways- http://silberkinder.tripod.com/pron...

My condolences to you. I know how much you loved her.

I agree, Greg. It is far better to try to drop the deer on the spot. But sometimes it just doesn't happen.

CherrystoneWeims

Those are little swamp deer! You oughta see the big ole' does running on my 34 acre "plantation" here in Ohio! Oh yeah, I run dogs here on my property and the deer don't mind a bit. In fact, every morning I let three very fast red dogs out my back door to do their business and often I get greeted b...

I know that a Master Hunter test is not the same as a FT but if you read the rules for the MH test it says that a dog should not be penalized for moving to mark the flightpath/downed bird. Now as far as the dog moving around a bush to mark and he hasn't seen the bird go up that dog should be picked ...

CherrystoneWeims

Scott - As far as movement to mark is concerned, my criterion has always been...no forward progress toward the bird(s). I try to give the dog every break I can and will give the dog the beneift of any doubt because the dog has the hard job and it is working from down there while I am up here. That ...

The reward is finding and pointing birds, he's a bird dog that's what he is bred to do. If he does everything correct, shoot the bird, why not? Your dog holds the birds, stays steady until you flush it, good!!!!! shoot it. My problem with this is that it can be a hard habit to break afterwards if y...

CherrystoneWeims

Take the dog, Leave the shotgun at home. His first season he needs to just get out there and have fun. Let him run, point, and chase. This is the best way to introduce a puppy to hunting his first season. Don't shoot birds for him until AFTER you have whoa broke him and he has a good retrieve. The R...

Just keep poking the "hernia" back in and it probably will stay after a while. As was stated previously it may not be a complete closure, should work by just pushing it back in. Try that and see before getting surgery. Yes if the hernia is small it may be able to be reduced. Push on it and rub in a...

CherrystoneWeims

Now that he is comfortable in the water transition this over to the bumper. Start the water work by throwing maybe just one or two cheetos. Then throw the bumper to get him into the water. Keep throwing it a little further on each retrieve. Be sure to end the session on a positive note with a succes...

The strong genetic link was certainly referenced in the Purdue study with a recommendation to remove all direct relatives from the breeding pool. No scientific merit. Claybuster, The research was done on pedigrees of dogs. When you see a great-grandfather, grandfather,father, and son bloat that sho...

Huntsmith brand are also good.

I buy dog beds at Costco. At $20 a pop they are cheap enough to buy and the covers come off to wash them. I also work to train my pups not to destroy the beds. Anytime I can't watch them they are in the crate sans bedding.....

CherrystoneWeims

Ezzy, I think that you don't quite understand what bloat is. What you are describing is colic in horses. Here is a link to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons http://www.acvs.org/AnimalOwners/HealthConditions/SmallAnimalTopics/GastricDilatationVolvulus/ Yes Torsion can occur after the dog ha...

CherrystoneWeims

Ezzy, You would be amazed at the numbers of dogs that bloat. I have known of whole lines of Weimaraners that from generation to generation the dogs have bloated. In my pedigree research I have known great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and sons that bloat. I used to have the Whippet that bloated....

CherrystoneWeims

Ezzy, I have known of multiple dogs bloating. They were not all Weimaraners. Many were but I have also seen Springer Spaniels, Whippets, Greyhounds, Irish Wolfhounds, and GSP's.......... I have personally have witnessed Weimaraners, Springers, whippets, and GSP's that were bloating......... Research...

I can't find the website now that had his pups listed as CKC and APRI now. He has ads on Puppyfind.com Nextdaypets.com and other sites such as these. Ruff, there have been complaints about him over the years. But no one from animal control would go out and check out his kennel. SD is one of the few ...

CherrystoneWeims

Yes Continental

CherrystoneWeims

Sunday I took him to a large pond with a steep dropoff to it and the cheetos were out close to start then out pretty far. Well as far as one can throw a cheeto. He got the close ones but sat neck deep whining at the further ones. I got in the water with him and realized this water was much colder t...

CherrystoneWeims

Ezzy, I have been in contact with the Weimaraner Rescue who will be taking the dogs when they are released. The person who runs this rescue has talked first hand to the officer who was at the raid.

This information has not just been passed on through the grapevine to me.

CherrystoneWeims

The other thing that was evident is that there was no apparent evidence of abuse in the operation that was raided - picking on the fact that there were pallets in the kennel or that some dogs stayed in the kennel instead of coming out to greet strangers and commotion is evidence of nothing - nor is...

CherrystoneWeims

Wow Slistoe and ESetter, evidently you have never seen or worked with rescue dogs. Perhaps you should tag along sometime when a breed rescue goes into a mill and gets dogs. Actually you wouldn't even need to do that if you were to go to a foster home and see some of the dogs from mills or bad BYB's....

CherrystoneWeims

OnePOne other thing I noted about this breeder. He is selling his pups CKC and APRI registered. Tells me something when pups are sold with those registrations.......

CherrystoneWeims

NONE of the high volume breeders that I know keep their Weims in those kinds of conditions. Or any of the other high volume breeders in other breeds. In fact the high volume competitive Weim breeders (dogs that compete in FT, show, HT, etc many times don't even keep many dogs at their own property! ...

CherrystoneWeims

Can't take credit for that idea. I'm not the cheeto lady :) Just giving a reference. LOL I am the "Cheeto Lady". I guess I will forever be known as that on this forum! It works. I've been getting dogs to swim using this method for over 20 yrs. (did it with a rescue dog that I had before Weims) Also...

CherrystoneWeims

OK I just received an update on the dogs (weims at least). The dogs are heavily infested with ciccidia, giardia, and other parasites. While they look social in the video they run to the back of the cage and cower when the door is opened. Typical mill dog behavior. There are 20 - 25 adult Weims and 4...

CherrystoneWeims

It is very scary to see some rescue groups associated with HSUS. I can assure you though that Weimaraner Rescue is NOT associated with HSUS. We try to do anything that we can to get purebred Weimaraners out of the hands of all breed rescue groups as many times these groups do not believe in the bree...

CherrystoneWeims

OK it seems as though Second Chance was notified by someone who bought a sick pup. Second Chance has deputized officers on staff who then notified local law enforcement and also notified HSUS of the situation.

I don't think that anyone on this forum would donate to anything remotely connected to HSUS!

CherrystoneWeims

Did HSUS initiate the raid or were they called in by the local authorities to assist with the raid

CherrystoneWeims

In todays society, rescue is the big thing with those breeding good sound dogs always getting the black eye. Weims are tough to begin with, they aren't a breed for everyone and those out there with bad genes just make it all the worse for those that are bred right. Sometimes good breeders do get ba...

CherrystoneWeims

The dogs that were shown don't look in bad condition. The news did say that there are some in poor condition but they didn't show those. The pens at the mill looked pretty bad. Old tires, rusty implements, etc. The dogs were running on broken pallets. I didn't see any shelter either. Makes me wonder...

CherrystoneWeims

Weimaraner Rescue is working on helping with the Weims. But we are in desperate need of foster homes. Please if anyone can help to foster that would help tremendously!

Ugh It's much too hot here in the summer. I would rather be up near Canada at this time of year.

Dave, She is a good looking pup! I am posting on this thread so as to not hijack the other hunting thread. She looks just like the "field" Labs that we have in S. Carolina. Very much working dogs and they look athletic. I have some friends who breed "English" Labs for show. I hate to say it but they...

Dave, I grew up with neighbors who hunted hare with their beagles in the woods of New England. They were shorter on the leg so that they could go through the briar patches more easily. They weren't used in open pasture land. Beautiful countryside! It makes me want to get over to England even more. I...

CherrystoneWeims

I'll have to check out that bakery. I live not too far from Georgetown and in fact have some friends who have a farm up there where I take my dogs for them to hunt over and we deer hunt up there also.

CherrystoneWeims

Beautiful country!

Your beagles have much more leg than our beagles here in the US.

Dogs are like humans and have their good and bad days and we have to learn to accept that and not get too far bent out of shape about them. You hit the nail on the head!

She's in heat for the first time. She may be feeling a little under the weather. Hormones are raging and she has never felt like this before. Give her some slack.

BTW don't rush her. Weims need to develop slowly. Let her grow up some. Have you had her swimming? Where are you located?

Pam - I came aross a saddle that someone like yourself might like. It was a Finnish made saddle, designed for Icelandics. It is the Falki model by Hnakkvirki. It is amazingly light, has some sort of adjustable tree and sits right close onto the horse. My daughter in law is a tiny little lady, about...

Could not agree more. The Dam of my Patch pup in the pic above is a daughter of Go Boy. I have seen a couple of Go Boy and Miller crosses as of late that were very - very nice.

Moose, elk, and gator. I lived in TX for a while and LOVE fried gator!!

I made some antelope a couple of weeks ago while we were at summer training camp. It's good but not as tender as venison. I have a fantastic pot roast recipe that I use for venison and I used it for the antelope.

I would suggest going and taking riding lessons first before you even start to look at horses to buy. A good riding instructor can help you find a good horse when the time is right. Learning to ride and also the "lingo" will teach you what to look for in a horse too. I just bought a beautiful, used ...

Dogs Unlimited. I like the Duralon collars also. They come in various colors and are only $11 each. The name plate is riveted right on. My dogs swim a lot and the collars stand up to getting wet.
