The same reason that there's 31 flavors of ice cream. Different strokes for different folks.

Linebred Clown dogs are flaky. Koonass dogs have some personality issues on occassion. If you were considering breeding this dog to one of your Prairie bitches, I wouldn't suggest it. Wow. Been offline for a while. Thanks for the responses and feedback. I was approached by someone about breeding to...

Are mother to son breeding fairly rare? I am not well versed in the least but I have never seen one that close.

JessW

Can I get some experienced GSP folks to share their thoughts on the lines in the attached pedigree?

Thanks in advance.

JessW

thanks

JessW

I don't think I did that right. Suggestions?

JessW

I have been off the board for quite a while. I am trying to remember how it all works. I will try to attach it.

JessW

Thanks. I have it. New question......it is for a GSP. Could you recommend someone that might be able to help me determine (healthwise) how good the lines are?

JessW

I am trying to find a pedigree for an AKC registered dog. I have his registration papers. What is the best way to go about this?

JessW

I think so too. Please help us spread the word. If you know anyone who would be interested in joining, please send them our way.

JessW

We will have to have the two qualifying matches first. Once approved by the AKC, we look forward to having many, many more!

JessW

There is a fairly large group of individuals that are trying to start a GSP Club in the Oklahoma region. We will be focusing primarily on hunt tests and trials and will later move into the conformation venue. We will hold the first of two qualifying events in September. We would like to encourage ev...

JessW

I thought they were probably a mix of some kind but looking at them I couldn't place it but you are probably right....there are almost as many blue heelers in OK as there are pointers. the girl wasn't at work today so I don't know if she has had any luck placing them. I will pass on the word about c...

JessW

looking again at the pics, they seem lighter than they did in person. They could be liver. I didn't pay very close attention to their nose color.

JessW

I am fairly certain that they are GSPs. They do not have the head and nose of a pointer. I am working under the assumption that anyone who would dump puppies is not going to go to great lengths to dock their tails..... Greg J. I appreciate the offer for help posting the pictures. They are on their w...

JessW

A girl that works in the same building with me went home to find two abandoned female GSP pups on her door step. She has taken in many strays and abandoned dogs in the past ( I assume some people are getting to know her as someone who will care for them) but she cannot keep these two and she is look...

JessW

I could be wrong, but I believe the original poster is located in Ohio and the subject came up in relation to deer hunting and the inconvenience to the hunter. I don't believe the conversation involved winter stressed wildlife in the west which I think are completely different in how it probably sho...

JessW

I can't fault a person for spending the money they have earned however the please. If it brings them pleasure far be it from me to knock them for it. KK I can certainly see that point and don't disagree but for me and most of the folks I know $2000 on an unproven pup would excessive. Maybe if my pl...

JessW

Well, I am not sure what constititutes the "Gentleman Hunter" that they refer to on their site and I'm pretty sure that I have never met one but I am guessing that they are the only ones that can afford one of their dogs. Give me a "good ole boy hunter" and a "good ole boy's affordable dog" any time...

JessW

does seem odd that personal experience with an operation that large is yet to be posted....went all over that web site and never saw a pedigree link or anything to document success in the field or conformation ring.... not saying it hasn't happened but if it were my site, I'd sure make that element ...

JessW

wow. I have never heard of them either (gsp person, myself) but they do look to have an impressive facility. I also would love to hear from anyone who might know more about these dogs and their abilities.

JessW

Wow! What a cute pup. Good luck with her!

by the way...love your profile name. It reminds me of an Alfred Hitchcock movie that I love. "The Trouble with Harry"

JessW

I am so sorry to hear about Sadie hopefully the new pups will make the loss a little more bearable. My brother finally talked me out of Sophie and has run off to NC with her. I miss her like crazy but he is working for the Dept of Wildlife out there and will get to spend tons of time with her. We wi...

JessW

hey mike,

welcome to the forum! I will check with Drew and see if he needs any more. We finally have some laying.....

Off topic: I am running Daisy in her first hunt test this weekend!

JessW

half of those views are probably BigShooter's checking on the vote count

JessW

I sit on a town council for a very small community and it would be nice to have a place to get feedback on odinances and/or legislation from people around the country that may know what works, what doesn't and why. It does seem that the loudest voices on the subject are not real advocates of pets an...

JessW

Is anyone going to the hunt test in Yoder, Kansas this weekend?

JessW

The trainer seems to be willing tp press on. He hasn't given me the impression that he thinks she is a lost cause....mostly he has just been keeping me informed that things were not going as smoothly as he'd hoped. He said that force-fetching would also probably be required and was not thrilled by t...

JessW

Denise, Scout has shown only one other instance of this type of behavior. As a puppy, we were having her tatooed and she resisted be held down and showed a type of what I would call fear aggression then. She has not shown aggression towards family, strangers, or other dogs in varied situations. We h...

JessW

Knine, My trainer has been and continues to be very open with me about how things are going, which I greatly appreciate. I think he his doing a fine job. I did not mean to imply by my worries that I think that he is mistreating or abusing my dog. If I thought that, I would have both of my dogs back ...

JessW

I apologize in advance for what will probably be a lengthy post.... I have a female GSP that is 16 mths old. She has been at the trainers for about 3 mths now. When whoa training her, she put up a terrible fuss to say the least. It took quite a while for her to catch on....when first starting, she c...

I have about 4 acres of dog proof fenced yard (not what I would call a pasture) that has electric wire along the bottom to prevent digging out. It has securely kept 4 versatile hunting dogs and a terrier which was a real digging escape artist for quite a while now. I also have a smaller back yard ri...

JessW

just curious...what is panacure and what is it for? I have never heard of it.

JessW

When I bought my first GSP, the breeder offered a co-ownership contract because we were very new to the breed and she felt like the pup had great show potential. Being a newbie, the idea of someone else "owning" my dog sent 1001 thoughts flying through my head most of which were negative. We decided...

JessW

Might I suggest you look to this organization: http://www.naiaonline.org/ and these "Guidelines" to provide food for thought: http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/PetFriendlyGuide.pdf I find myself in a very similar situation, but not on the board. Rather, I've been providing info like the above and info...

JessW

thanks everyone for the input thus far! It has been great. Keep it coming.

JessW

Ezzy,

Do you fill like a kennel should be restricted to a commercially zoned area or left to the individual if noise and/or odor requirements are met. What types of odor and noise requirements do you feel are fair and how would these be measured?

JessW

Jess I was a board trustee for 4 years, I could probably get you some different ideas on ordinances, however, first of do you have any kind of ordinance enforcement in place, ie. Law enforcement, municipal or county? Chip The town does not have any kind of ordinance enforcement in place. No police ...

JessW

Yes, I have. Not knowing how or by whom they were written though, I thought that getting input from those with a vested interest would give me a basis of comparison that could possibly help write something for our particular situation. I would particularly be interested to know what some of the memb...

JessW

I have found myself in the position of sitting on the Board of Trustees in a very small town in Okahoma (town counsel type stuff). Being in an extremely rural area, one of the largest problems that we face is the stray dog population. Some folks drop unwanted dogs out in the country to get rid of th...

JessW

Amen, Don!

Well, I heard from the vet earlier today and am shocked but somewhat relieved to find out that Hacket tested heartworm positive. I am shocked because he was just tested this past November and has been on Interceptor preventative. He had dropped 10 lbs since his Nov, visit and I really think most of ...

JessW

We have been adding Pancreved (an enzyme replacement) to his food for over a year now with much success but it seems to have quit working in the last couple of weeks for some reason. He is at the vet now. They are doing blood work and checking to see if his other organs are still functioning properl...

JessW

I have not tried Eukanuba Low Residue. I have never even heard of it. I will look it up. I had thought about feeding 3 times a day when we can, unfortunately we can't always be here for a mid-afternoon feeding. They encourage 3 feedings a day but also a regular schedule.....I'm not sure which is the...

JessW

other information that I ran across on the internet said that absorbtion of B12 and Vitamin E can also be a problem with this disorder....if I were to go with something like Ole Roy because of the high protein, would there be a supplement that I could add that would still help nutritionally speaking...

JessW

I have a dog that has been diagnosed with EPI. He was doing very well for a while but has recently started to drop weight again rapidly. They recommend a high protein, low fat, low card diet for this.... My vet is not very familiar with the disorder and I am wondering what food would be the best thi...

JessW

What percentages of each would constitute a high protein; low fiber; low fat diet?

What dog food would you recommend to meet those requirements?

JessW

my husband and I are also located in central OK and would love to hook up and work our dogs with others when possible. we have been to the NAVHDA training days and they are great but they always seem to fall on weekends when the husband works.

JessW

...except maybe the wife!

JessW

I have 5 dogs. A westie that is free-fed. A Setter that is fed about 1 1/2 cups twice a day on a schedule. She rarely eats her morning offering but always eats at 5:00. I have 3 GSPs that are fed 2 cups in the morning and then 2 cups again at 5:00. The two youngest just left to go to the trainer's a...
