Re: Wild Birds vs Pen-Raised Birds and Pigeons
Thanks everyone for the comments and advice. I think I will go ahead with some good strong flying pigeons and see what happens. Firelight, I think you are absolutely right about what the initial reaction might be. Regardless of the reaction I think with additional exposure she will figure it out. I ...

Wild Birds vs Pen-Raised Birds and Pigeons
Hi everyone, I have a very unique situation that I have not had in a long time. I have acquired a nice female shorthair that is just under a year old and has never been on a pigeon or pen-raised bird. She was raised in North Dakota and spent the whole year this last year on wild birds. She went thro...

Re: Heart worm
Just want to clarify something? There are three threads mentioned here, one of them being in the hall of fame posts entitled "Ivomec". As I understand it Ivomec is merely a brand name of Ivermectin? My local feed store does not carry Ivomec they carry Ivermax, again as I understand it another brand ...

Re: Touching a dog while on point?
Thanks to everyone that has responded. I think there has been some great incite so far. I think one thing for sure we have found is that there isn't necessarily a right or wrong answer to the question and that a person's perception of what is right or wrong is based on the way they were taught, some...

Touching a dog while on point?
I wanted to throw this question out there because I think there are a myriad of opinions amongst trainers as to whether to touch a dog that is on point or not? I know that some are proponents of kneeling beside a dog and stroking the dog while on point? We have probably all seen someone walk up to a...

Re: Member's Mark Exceed Recall
Both the Chicken and Rice and Lamb and Rice are back on the shelves in Northern Utah. I told myself I wasn't going back to it but I ended picking up a couple of bags to start the transition back to the Chicken and Rice. When I opened the bag the food appears a little different than before. Its a bit...

Re: Member's Mark Exceed Recall
Still none on the shelves as of today in Northern Utah. I switched, had no choice. I don't think I'll go back to Exceed, even if it shows up at this point? Good luck to all of you that are still feeding it. Hopefully something happens before you run out!

Re: Member's Mark Exceed Recall
If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the food that is sold in a camo bag? If so, we have a local grocery store that just recently started carrying it but I know nothing nor have I heard anything about it? I would be curious which mill actually makes it and if it's any good? I think the same company marke...

Re: Member's Mark Exceed Recall
Just as a point of reference, I live in Northern Utah and went into our local Sam's yesterday and there is no more Exceed on their floor here. I asked about it and was told they had pulled the Exceed and one other brand of dog food they had been carrying and didn't plan to carry it any longer. I don...

Cleaning & Disinfecting Concrete Kennels
Hey you'all, I know I have seen this discussed somewhere before but I am curious what everyone uses to disinfect and clean their concrete runs and kennels. I have read about certain concerns of using bleach because of irritation etc. I have also heard of others using dawn dish soap? What does everyo...

Exceed Dog Food
So, what was the final "scoop" on the Sam's Club Exceed change? Is the old stuff back in the stores? or did it all change ultimately? Does anyone know?
Thanks

Re: Male Dog Dominance Issues
Thanks for the replies. I have been bearing down on them as has been indicated. The young male has sort of given up on the idea at this point. I don't think I have any females in heat but the young male does try to climb on the one of the females from time to time and made the mistake of trying to d...

Male Dog Dominance Issues
I picked up a nice 12-month old male shorthair over the weekend for a good price and I was thinking he would make a nice addition to the dog string but I am having issues with him and my other male shorthair. He gets along fine with the females but he originally stood off the other male both vocally...

Re: Nutrena Loyall Stools
I concur wholeheartedly with Ezzy. Those are the type of stools and I am looking for if the dogs look good, have good energy, and appear to be doing well. I started a thread a while back on Nutrena (Loyall) and not many had been feeding it at the time. I was looking to switch from Pro Plan Performan...
Re: Roading
If you just google "roading harness" you will find there are many different places you can get a harness. They vary somewhat in style and material. I personally like the style that has a thicker, padded front strap that goes around the front of the chest. As far as roading is concerned, it can be do...

578, I got your PM and will try to give you call as soon as I have some time to talk dogs, maybe this evening sometime? I would be happy to share any training methods I have done with him and/or corrections I have tried for the flagging in hopes we both end up being able to have a positive outcome. ...
Re: Flagging
I think this is a very interesting and somewhat elusive subject because so many things could have played a factor in flagging. I am not trying to steal your thread but trying to maybe find some common ground that may have created the problem for both of us. I too have a relatively younger dog (18 mo...

Re: tail injury
Just throwing a possibility out here.

There were no outward injuries visible. He normally would carry ...

Loyall Dog Food
Dog foods seem to be a hot topic! I have been reviewing some of the posts recently about the different foods and it appears that it can be a real challenge trying to make a decision on a particular food, save just feeding it and seeing how your dogs do? I have fed most of the feeds that have been di...

I would just echo what has been said about Lanber.

They seem to fit me well and they are a great value for the money i...

There seems to be quite a few members on the forum that have traveled to Arizona and/or New Mexico to hunt gambel, scalies, and mearns this year.
