i have the dogtra 2502 and its working gr8t! i never exeed the 40 on my dogs, they even jump off the ground if i push the constant button on 40. i noticed that when the dog becomes wet the contact points dont touch his flesh so it wont affect them, thats the only problem i had. check if the contact ...

Birds need about 14 hours of light to lay eggs. Depending on where you live you will have to keep them under artificial light to keep them laying year round. I had my chickens and coturnix quail under lights and they laid almost an egg every day. fertile eggs?!?! thats what i was searching for?!?! ...

Elias

thank you for the help, will let u know what will happen in the coming month.

Elias

i run it on my dogs in point mode only....i noticed lately on quails that it does make the quails to run but not flush..... woodcocks it didn't matter to them. pheaseants i have no idea.... wild chukars will flush immediately when they hear the sound.

Elias

You feed different food for better egg fertility. The Vitamin E is increased in the formula, among other things. Do you have commercial gamebird food available or will you have to mix your own? no commercial game bird food in here, i am ship some to my country when am done with all the planning and...

Elias

yes am located outside the US. by making an egg fertile i meant for the sarcastic answers if it can be done manually in a way, cause i dont have that knowledge in raising birds but i look at all those breeders outside, on tv, and i see that they have a lot of birds and loadssssssss of fertile eggs s...

Elias

i am only interested in pheaseants and chukars...... but am wodering how can i make my stock grow bigger and bigger..... if i got 1000chukars lets say 200 males and 8000females..... they will only lay eggs during the season or i can make them lay eggs whenever i want and put it in an incubator?!

Elias

thanx for the link, its a nice study! i was wondering is there a way to make all the eggs fertile?! thats my main concern cause if u have hunters everyday in 20days ull run out of birds!

Elias

guys i need help in opening my own business in my country. can anyone guide me a bit on how to raise the birds, how can i hatch them to have all the time game birds, can i make the eggs fertile with a certain product or should i wait for nature to take its course.... i need help. thank you!

Elias

Thanx for the info! I love EP!

Elias

Ruth where i live we dont keep pedigrees or anything....we have the dogs from generation to generation...... i live in the middle east, they dont believe in pedigree. lol
but you can search on the net and u will find that black is a very rare color.

Elias

i see it as a style too and i like it.... been seing it in all the EP ive seen!

Elias

any ideas about this ? or is it just his natural instinct!?
sometimes my dog raises his front leg, sometime his back leg!
i never understood this.

Elias

yes thats a pure bred EP....i like black ep but they are very rare, dunno why.

Elias

thanx. That's my friend's dog, she is a mix of EP nd BRAQUE...

Elias

went today for quail hunting, took some nice shots and videos.... ill upload some pics cause i dunno how to upload videos in here...
the black dog (black) is 3years old and the white and black(max) is 2years old.

Elias

thank you for the help. will try that and see how it goes. i don't think he is being aggressive he is just a bit insecure. i wont use the force with him, ill be gentle and gradually we will c how things go

Elias

OK enough with the sarcastic posts, what should i do to make it stop?! and he is very obedient when it comes to all the basic commends and the hunting commands now.
thank you:)

Elias

he used to always growl when it comes to his food, he is 2 years old, i hand feed him, remove the bowl nd put it back all the time, but lately he is peing a bit. Even when eating from my hand he growls nd eat.

Elias

if my dog is eating nd i come to pet him or get close, he growls nd pee... Any idea why?

Elias

my dog retrieve all dead birds exepct the quail....he just point it and when i shoot it he goes to retrieve it, he just pick it up and throw it..... any idea!?!

Elias

thank you! took me 2 years but it payed of in the end....the dog have an excellent nose and he is working in the field in a great way. he is still a beginner so am sure in the time coming he will be better and better. good luck, and i can really say no matter how much a dog will make u frustrated or...

Elias

After making me frustrated for the last year my young EP finally did it! he is 2years old now, its been a week am taking him everyday to the field and today he nailed it. here are some pics of todays hunt and point.

Elias

Elias

Elias

Elias

feel free to say anything. Why should i give my dog away? I read the post of nails here in the forum:s its not my idea. Honestly am not able to make him point, am really deseperate. Maybe i should quit posting here, ur right.

Elias

ill keep the pointing for later. i wana work a bit more on retrieving now....
wut should i do to make him stop chewing. am kinda scared he will swallow a nail and get hurt.

Elias

i was reading on the forum,that i can put nails in a sock nd glue feathers on it. I tried it nd he didnt chew at all. But the bird is soft nd am scared he is gona chew it again. Some help please.

Elias

i am training him on both point nd retrieving. I think retrieving is also important. Any help is appreciated. When i cant go out to train him on pointing, i train him on retrieving

Elias

at first he used to refuse to retrieve, after a lot of training he started retrieving birds in a great way. 2day i have no idea what happened he chewed the birds! He broke their bones nd i could c ther internal organs. Please help.

Elias

He is an EP but i think he wants to be a lab!;) what can i do?

Elias

so far he encountered around 15 wild quails, 1 wild woodcock.
penraised birds around 50!

am training him everyday, he points sometimes but he is still not sure of wut he is doing. even when he flush the bird i tell him to stay, he doesnt chase it.

he is gona be 2 years in february!

Elias

he doesnt want to point! he only wants to flush and honestly all i do in my life is think of him and how to make him a good hunting dog.
i think he wont point:(

Elias

Corticosteroids These compounds reduce itching by reducing inflammation. Unfortunately, they also affect every organ in the body. According to Dr. Ackerman, steroids should be considered only when the allergy season is short, the amount of drug required is small or as a last resort to relieve a dog ...

Elias

its not about the money and cost! its about the vets here! they dont have the necessary equipments and tools for the right tests! i wish i lived abroad! i will ask my vet next week if he can do the tests. after reading ur post and getin it all in my head i am noticing that last year at the same time...

Elias

everytime i used frontline i noticed the hair on the back like standing up, but it never crossed my mind that it could be an allergy or something until now when the hair looked this way thin and falling. i started prednisone today and zyrtec. will tell u how it goes in 7 days. thank you

Elias

he said its related to food. i trust my vet. hope in 7 days the dogs will be better. am gona switch to nutragold for allergies.
i have never found a single flea on my dog, they are always sprayed and well groomed and i check them everyday.

Elias

The vet told me to give him prednisone for 7 days and zeertec for 7 days. he doesnt know wut kind of allergie the dog have, he named smthing but i dont really remember the name. i think this started to happen when i started using frontline, i dunno if some dogs develop this, even the hair looks like...

Elias

my pup of 1 and 7months years old was diagonised with an allergie and its making his back hair thin and fall. the vet gave me prednisone and zyrtec.
i was reading that prednisone had a lot of side effects and when i started using it, my pup sometimes peed without being able to control it.
any ideas?!

Elias

I had one of those sport dogs with the Hawk screem. Leaning back in my chair at the kitchen table, I put the batteries in and hit the button to the hear the sounds, not realizing there was a hawk screem, It was so loud and scared the living HE11 out of me and I went right over backwards on to the f...

Elias

Elias

Exactly what i was thinkin, i ll get my new ecollar and beeper soon and we will c how it will do on woodcok!

Elias

wont the sound of the beeper on the collar make the pointed birds flush?!?!

Elias

Elias

Elias
