Gun Dog Forum

I like the metal pinch collar for teaching commands such as heel and woah. The pinch easily converts over to the nick of the e-collar. As such, I shy away from using it just to go on walks because I don't want it to lose its effect. I have found the metal pinch to be very effective with "whoa" and ...

To build muscles, get a harness & let him DRAG you! Fifteen minutes of this is better than 45 min of running.

I've had "Zoomie" since Jan. 28th. He's my first hunting dog. When we picked him, I chose his parents & the breeder more than him. I actually let my wife pick the pup. We deliberately avoided the alpha male, though. He will usually be more stubborn and strongheaded than the rest. As this is my first...

You are too right!! When my son was about 8, We visited a lady my wife worked with. She had wolf half breeds (2) chained in her back yard. We all went out to see them, and in the midst of a conversation, before we knew what was going on, one dog had wrapped his chain around my son's legs, & the othe...

[quote="Ayres"]Central Illinois, about 20 miles south of Chambana (ILL-INI). And, yeah, there's a great preserve about 3 miles from my house. Because I train there with the owner, I have access to fresh quail year-round. I'm north of you in DuPage County. I'll be making a similar deal with the breed...

You'll have to get your own!
Btw, where is Villa Grove? Any good preserves out that way?

Help! I've got a freezer full of pheasant & need some recipe ideas.
Something quick would be nice.

11 yo Vizsla: Chloe a.k.a Stinky, Shmedley, Muttonchops

Will pick up new Vizsla puppy Jan 28. He will be named Ronaldus Magnus and probably goby Magnus

Questuon one: I have an 11 yo Vizsla, and am dog-sitting a 2 yo Wiem for a friend. The dogs had spent a day playing together in my back yard this summer, but when my buddy brought the w over shortly before Christmas, my v was rather aggresive & territorial, to the point that he peed on my buddy's fo...

No, really. I'm seroius (and seriously ignorant on the subject). Does this help the dog?

Rgrdz,

Have you tried this yourself, and how did it work out?

Have you ever before failed so miserably to make a joke? How did it work out?

C'mon, Quit pickin' on the new pup!

Sometimes we come on the good things a little later(I'm 33, and started hunting lastyear).

I just found this forum tonight. I am a Vizsla dad (Stinky is 11 yrs old) and will soon have another on the way. I only started hunting last year. We got Stinky when he was three years old, and his previous owner had pretty much ruined him for hunting. This is why I wanted a puppy. I have never trai...
