Gun Dog Forum

If the vet was really concerned they would do an x ray or MRI. However, if you are really concerned no reason you can't request an x ray. It has been my experience that vets don't like to jump to the worst case scenario unless the problem is very clear. They often prefer to wait and see; an approach...

Don't forget the importance of socialization .

by HuskerHunt_416 » Sat Jan 23, 2021 6:32 pm Hello my name is Beau (Bo) Been on her a lot in the past and again now, I’ve been a bird hunter for a couple decades now and have had several shorthairs. Just lost my last one suddenly a few months ago and have decided to make the switch to a GWP due to t...

Beautiful pics! Lucky man. What kind of deer were those?

Isn't that great! You've got a winner; story gives me a thrill and I wasn't even there.

Absolutely agree guys, but why is nobody saying it? I'll stick my neck out.

Pro Plan Puppy to Pro Plan Adult

Well said Max. I've been working with dogs for 40 years( started with beagles then moved on to gundogs and JRTs.) The key is to enjoy every day. Your pup is a baby Bayley. Right now just enjoy him. You can start on the "come " command, but no pain/anger etc. Every time you say "come" , and he doesn'...

I joined a gun club and shot skeet every week. Highly recommend it. All of a sudden the birds will appear to be in slow motion.

I always believe you Ray , but.... if I free fed my JRT it would eat non stop.

The link suggests they do , but you know a heck of a lot more than I do so .....thanks.

Seems an e collar is used by many:

I'm so sorry; it hurts bad. My boy with the cancer is still fine but.......That Squirt is a beautiful dog. He had almost 15 wonderful years with you. You gave him a great life.

That's too bad; looks like it's back to square 2. Glad you found her.

Uplander's Little Lady

Couldn't have chosen a better Mod- knowledgeable , mature and a real gentlemen. (Thanks for the kind words KC , I'll have to save that to read when I get fed up on here.

)

So thrilled to have this new member with us. He has helped a multitude of people over the years ... training their dog, judging etc..... We're so lucky to have him here. Welcome Tim. ( I am posting this here because so few members seem to go to the "a little about you" thread unfortunately.) ..........

So hard to give up on a dog, but sometimes it is the best decision. I rescued a JRT ( have rescued many) and am pretty good at bringing such a dog around to be a good housemate/hunter. However, once after 2 years of effort, I had to put a dog down. My best efforts weren't enough. It happens; don't b...

I choose by reputation. I talk to people whose opinion I respect. Due to a bad experience, I never pick from a good looking magazine ad .

(Give me a break, I was new at the game. )
Pedigree is important to me for about a 2 generation period only.

bamanicksbd : Happy Birthday Sir.

Thanks for keeping us up to date on possible problems. Appreciate it.

S l o w d o w n... Only 9 weeks.

Your most important job right now is socialization.

( 30 -45 minutes is a long enough walk right now imo)

Welcome to the forum. You'll need 5 posts approved and then you can posts freely. If you ever need any help with your use of the forum, feel free to PM me.

(Your training concerns expressed here would get more help if posted in the "Training" thread.)

Iffy, but it's Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you, too! Here’s the photo for those without fb. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201215/3a5783e51f19e56ca3163350e20e1680.jpg Thanks for posting a better link.

The admin has all your concerns now. Hopefully things work out for you.

Well you can't have everything. LOL just kidding you. Your most recent post came through with no approval YEH!!!! The administrator's assistant is working now on your PM problem. ............................................................................................................................

Fixed by the administrator's assistant. Should be fine now. Let me know if it isn't.

LOL.... thank you.

as per your unapproved above post : I have left it unapproved so the administrator can deal with it. I emailed him just now- 4pm Tuesday.(Ontario time). I'll let you know here when I hear back from him. I'm very sorry for the hassle - only happens twice a year so don't go betting anywhere. :) You se...

I don't know why your posts still have to be approved. I have to send an unapproved one to the administrator to get that fixed. I will do it with your next post. Say something here. Sorry.

Everything should be fine now; let me know if it isn't. You'll get lots of expert help here on getting a new dog started right.

It is hard to get freedom to post on here initially. Unfortunately , spammers/advertisers have caused that problem. Also don't want a brand new member abusing other members by PM right off the bat. ......has happened. I know nothing about tap a talk - still have a flip phone. :) Maybe others can hel...

I hope you have a great Xmas. No visitors/outside the home family members allowed here for Christmas. Only the people in the household can be together .I'll miss my sister/brother/ foster kids. ( First family members in war started in 1776 for me. Germans(Hessians) joined up with the British to driv...

Other tributes to Mike can be found in "Sad news about our member Irishwhistler" in General Chat, and "Tributes to the Departed" category.

This is such sad news; I feel so badly about it. Mike's pictures added so much to our forum. He was a kind member and always a gentleman. Rest in peace Mike.

by gundogguy » Wed Nov 25, 2020 11:05 am It is with a heavy heart I write this to report Mike Enright, aka Irishwhistler, passed away suddenly yesterday morning at his home in Connecticut.

They're a beautiful bird for sure.

"... coyotes have to live too..." NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO ABOUT IT! Come to end of 'em yet? Last time I was chasing quail in AZ the song dog population seemed to be thriving in spite of all the animosity :wink: Sharon - what is "dog spray"? I have nothing against coyotes, either but I agree - ...

Sharon: Would two coyotes be a match for one Jack Russel? He must be getting old. What Time Zone does this forum come from. It is 6am at my house 8am on the forum.....Cj Normally they wouldn't be a match, but he has cancer and is living one day at a time. That's weird about the time zone. Daylight ...

That's a thought, but a pistol can only be used on a range at a gun club here in Ontario, and the incident was on city property so no firearm could be used. I'll just stay away from that area in the future.

(edited)

Had 2 coyotes try to take down my Jack Russel for brunch this week. Thankfully, I had remembered to take the dog spray. I know coyotes have to live too , but not my dog.

You are definitely well prepared.

There are the same number of users/guests on line at any moment (See the bottom of the main page) , but I guess they have nothing to say. Had a look at 2 other usually popular gun dog forums and they seem pretty dead too. Either most are hunting or we've got covid depression going on. :( I can't hun...

That link works fine. Looks like a great day!

Couldn't get the link to work Walk 213. Perhaps you could give it another try.

My dog uses rheumacyl. Vet would know the best choice of drugs for certain kinds of pain.
