i would like to see an example of what you mean.

If you adopted him are you positive he's only 6? I have a female shorthairs that's facial hair is turning grey as well at 5....figure it's genetic like mine turning grey at 35.

Thanks for sharing. That's not the Kansas story I had in mind to hear! It sounds like you had a tough time of it...but heck it's better than working.

I have been around women my entire life, heck my mother is a woman! I still cant figure them out, but maybe I wasnt properly introduced to em!!! Just like a dog....you're never gonna figure them out, you just have to figure out how to handle them! :D :lol: You think pen raised women are easier to h...

I've used mine for a couple weeks at a time for training before charging. I think it will handle two days of hunting for sure but i haven't used the beeper mode while training so i'm not sure how much that will drain it.

That's interesting! The diaphragm is a muscle that divides the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity so, in humans at least, a diaphragmatic hernia...which is usually traumatic in nature...lets the abdominal organs get into the chest cavity causing pain and difficulty breathing..and sometimes death...

Well, he's got a lot more experience than i so I won't second guess.

i have talked to john prince many times and he sounds like he knows what hes talking about but he says he can have my dog broke in about 8 weeks but i just dont see how that is possible I don't know John...I have only spoken with him on the phone...but I've heard very favorable things about him. I ...

I got a little free time this morning while my wife was praying for my soul :mrgreen: . I was supposed to be cutting wood but....well that's what the praying is for! Cash is coming along nicely and is starting to show more style and range. Tough find in the briars and brambles. I tried to adjust the...

she's in the vet now, waiting for them to check her out so far she's been in there an hour and they havn't seen her, I'm gonna bug them some more.

Mountaindogs--you might have missed it in the bottom of his last response.

postoakshorthairs

I might have been way off in my response. I didn't know if he was clear that he was handled as an amatuer and a pro stake.

postoakshorthairs

Are you freaking serious?....we went from someone wanting a little help with there dog not gaining weight to, are dogs omnivores or carnivores and no evolution since the paleolithic age? Seriously these food discussions on this forum have become a little old.... We all have our own opinions and wer...

postoakshorthairs

couple of thoughts. IMO dogs that itch a lot from allergies are likely pre-disposed to having more reactions & more severe reactions to vaccinations than supposedly "normal" dogs. Basically allergy symptoms are a reflection of an immune system that reacts more strongly to certain irritants than the...

postoakshorthairs

Matt, I'm not a canine expert but have a fair amount of experience with humans. Most of the reactions to vaccinations that i've witnessed are due to the additives in the vaccine and not the vaccine itself. I have a reaction like that to some, not all, versions of the t.b. skin test solution. It's al...

postoakshorthairs

I'm not an expert by any stretch...but I think he won the All Age with a Pro handler and the Amatuer Shooting Dog with his owner/am handler.

postoakshorthairs

When we go huckleberry picking my wolfdog eats nearly as many off the bush as we pick.

Dogs are not omnivores.
It's as simple as 2+2=4.

wouldn't that make your dog an omnivore???

postoakshorthairs

Have fun and hope your wife is feeling better soon.

The thread wasnt about parenting, no one asked for advice. You guys need to relax. No one knows what kind of punishment was handed out, why does everyone assume there wasnt any? True enough...i guess i assumed. I just bet that if the rolls were reversed and the two guys had nice, big running, choke...

If I would have spoken to another adult like that as a teenager, especially an unprovoked one who was trying to offer a compliment, I would have been in a world of hurt when my dad got me home...assuming it wasn't done on the spot! I'm sure your son is a fine, intelligent young man but my 15 year ol...

postoakshorthairs

Look under the " hall of fame " threads...there's one on there specifically for this.

postoakshorthairs

Enjoyed the video. Good flying birds certainly will teach young dogs a lesson.

I am not one to sing

The trial I was at with Chip they placed his dog just because he had to listen to him sing!!

postoakshorthairs

Good for you guys...makes it all worth it!

postoakshorthairs

thats correct. he will lose weight when i start working him. my working him is 30 minutes of swimming 3-4 days a week when weather was warm. then i free run him 1 hour 3-4 days a week when its cold. havent even started hunting him yet . he will really be working then. i hunt 6 days at a time about ...

postoakshorthairs

I don't have an answer, but I do find a question. if the Eagle Pak is working in the "offseason" why do you switch the dog off of it...will he not maintain on it ? The other question i have is does the dog look unhealthy when it loses weight when he's being worked or is he just getting in better sha...

I know of a lot of old barns and places that have pidgeons but is there any way to catch em? Does the flashlight trick work? two options: 1. trap them. 2. Flashlight at night with a fish net. The trapping takes a few days where the flashlight and net works right away provided you can find and reach...

I would like to think that if he is "the best" and has earned that reputation that he would be honest enough to tell you if an accident happened. I'm going with the false pregnancy.

postoakshorthairs

@Kiki's Mom - You are assuming that the trainer let the pups live.

Well I guess he wouldn't be able to do much with them so that's a possibility. I take it you don't have any progress pictures during the time frame?

Wow, for less than $10, that would be the cheapest neuter ever.

You say that with an evil tone!!!

postoakshorthairs

The breeder I got these pups from said he introduces it when they are excited and focused on something else That "something else" needed to be birds. I'm certainly no expert but the dog might have been in the back of the kennel when you shot and not visualizing you might have made the difference. M...

You could post some pics so those in the know can see and give better feedback...just a thought.

postoakshorthairs

Nice looking pup! I like the high and tight look, but have always love to see a dog spin on a scent or hit it hard and lock up mid motion in an akward position...just love the intensity.

postoakshorthairs

so did i cause any damage

I bet the pigeon would say yes!

I have found that it significantly improved my wife's interest in my dogs when i bought remote launchers and quit using her as an assistant so she couldl just watch.

postoakshorthairs

Anyone care to reply on LLewellin Setters. I've only hunted behind a couple. Both were good dogs that ranged fairly close and handled phez and quail fine. Both retrieved naturally and backed naturally...but neither where what I would call versatile. I know that's not much info but it's all i have.

i haven't dewormed her since she was a puppy. I would worm her. You can buy panacur or other such products at farm/home or feed stores that cover several types of worms.

You might think i'm joking, but there have been a few guys in my area make a "box" by conecting two plastic drums (35 or 50 gal) with the doors cut in the round end.. They are extremely light and when vented should be comfortable. I looked into the plastic sheets (i think they were solid pvc materia...

How heavy is the wood box?? Can it be removed by one person? I am wanting to make a box for my two Vizslas and the new Wirehair Vizsla and have thought about a similar plan but am wondering how heavy it would be.

Dog had 6 teeth taken out. Anybody got a loan ?

Pliers are only a few dollars Sharon...should have done it yourself.

I do feel bad for the dog. I guess he'll be treated to soft food for a while.

postoakshorthairs

Yeah, that was what I was thinking too, except she readily chased down a live clipped wing pigeon a few weeks ago and carried it around all over the place. So I dont know, maybe she needs to figure out that quail are good too. I dont know. Maybe she's young yet, she still isnt working her nose a lo...

Brenda,
Is this the first male to leave from that litter? Too bad, hope they find him!

postoakshorthairs

Lookin good:) Both pups... I got the first pup entered in JH in Ky this weekend. She is doin great except for the Come part. We got the rest of the week for that:)

Thanks! Good luck with the tests.

postoakshorthairs

let me guess Tank is the Liver dog? I'm kinda partial but I luv Cooper pups man.

You got it. I knew you were partial to the Cooper pups and i think he's gonna be a nice one. I really like this Fritz pup too, seemed like the switch turned on after the birds the other day.

postoakshorthairs

Great looking pup Ken!

postoakshorthairs

At least you found that you are allergic to bee stings and can keep some medication with you. Well.....to be perfectly honest I kinda knew I was a little allergic to yellow jackets and have been told I should carry an epi pen, but being a hard headed man (and a medical person to boot) I never got o...
