Ahh, okay. My Laradors skin usually gets dry in the winter time. She is 70lbs and gets 4000mg/day..

My 40 GSP gets 2000mg/day.

Its recommended to do 1000mg/20lbs.

I use a people supplement for them thats just the fish oil.

kerplunk105

My Lab tends to have dry skin, but not this time of year. She gets fish oil daily.

kerplunk105

My Lab heels perfectly. I think she came trained at 8 weeks from the breeder LOL You would think with her heeling perfectly, Leena would get the idea... :roll:

kerplunk105

Not sure to whom that comment was directed, but my dogs could care less about being sprayed with the hose. In fact, they love it. My Labrador loves being sprayed in the face with it LOL The only time I spray my dogs is the GSP and thats with a spray bottle and thats only ever in the house. I would r...

kerplunk105

Great instinct at only 11 weeks. Best of luck with him!

kerplunk105

I use the spray bottle quite a bit in the house. Leena likes to try and come into the kitchen. She loves water but hates being sprayed.

kerplunk105

Welcome

I have a Labrador and a GSP.

kerplunk105

Leena, my 7mo GSP just doesnt seem to understand the heel concept. I have tried every nice/positive way of teaching her that has worked with all my past dogs. I dont like using them, but I am going to get her a choke collar this weekend.

kerplunk105

For my GSP, I wouldn't use it on her. It would end up hurting her since she doesnt have much hair. I've used to on a French Bulldog and a Golden Retriever and had no issues.

I've never tried the shampoo. I know that whenever they get wet, (either naturally or baths), it helps to brush them right after they dry.

The brush is actually a pretty good deal when you know that groomers charge at least $50/session for a "deshedding treatment".

kerplunk105

They are just adorable!

kerplunk105

If I am thinking of the same thing, the glove, (i.e http://www.lamp-post.co.uk/prodimages/trixie/6/6290.jpg), wouldnt do much on (my) Labradors coat. Works great for a shorter hair breed-like a GSP.

kerplunk105

They are 110% worth it. I try and brush my Lab daily with it during the warmer months. A horse shedding blade, (http://www.horsetackinternational.com/images/170100-econo-shedding-blade.jpg), will work the same, but doesn't pull out quite as much hair..but they are about 1/4 of the price. I use to us...

kerplunk105

Sounds like it may be an infection, I would def take the pup to the vet.

On a side note, this is the best area cleaner I've ever used! http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/prodInte ... ?prodID=32 It works great for my guys.

kerplunk105

Adorable. Are her legs almost socks?

kerplunk105

I didnt even know this breed exsisted! Owners must get questioned a lot if they are Setters. :roll:

Beautiful dogs.

kerplunk105

Very nice pictures.

Where is that at?

kerplunk105

She is adorable. What did you name her?

As other said, I would def ask the vet about it. Cant hurt to ask.

kerplunk105

Adorable. You can already see personalities developing.

No, I didnt but I of course had to look it up.

I found some pretty silly ones

I think Leena's tail is too short. I met another GSP and her tail was soo long compared to Leena's. The owner got her from a breeder in Kansas and said they they tend to cut them longer "out there" compared to the East Coast. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j83/Kerplunk105/Dogs/100_3209.jpg http:/...

I program I volunteer/train with may be able to use a pup. We've never had a GSP. We usually use Labs, Goldens, Goldendoodles, Poodles, and sometimes ESS, (my friend is currently training an adorable 5mo boy). The dogs are placed at 8-12 weeks with a puppy raising family/trainer. They teach the pupp...

kerplunk105

She is adorable. My friend has a 5mo ESS

kerplunk105

Leena, now almost 7 months, took (what seemed like forever) to get used to her crate. She would whine, howl, and scream usually for at least an hour whenever she was put in there. She doesnt mind her crate at all now. Actually, yesterday for the first time she went in there on her own to sleep. I wa...

I am reading, what I think, is a pretty decent book. It has a few chapters dedicated to choosing/getting a pup.

kerplunk105

Best of luck with your new pup. I second the vote on getting a female. Its better to have different genders.

kerplunk105

Adorable puppy. She's the same age as my Leena. Where did you get her?

Congrats on a job well done!

kerplunk105

Welcome

Good luck with the Britt

kerplunk105

Welcome. Good luck with the pup.

kerplunk105

Congrats!! She is beautiful.

kerplunk105

Very interesting I must say. Never saw that color in a shorthair. Not many have. I've tried to explain the color many times and a picture just doesn't do it. A few members on this board have seen her in person and she looks way different in reality than in a pic. Here are a few more like her. http:...

kerplunk105

Did someone say ears?

kerplunk105

Thank you so much for the info! I have fostered two Pointers and really liked their personalities. There is a really great breeder near me if I decide to go the Pointer route.

I would have a much more difficult time finding the other two.

kerplunk105

I have to be very vigilant event with the Frontline on. I still find ticks

kerplunk105

Ticks are a big problem where I am. I use Frontline Plus...but I only have two dogs.

Currently Healthwise Active Adult Chicken&Rice. I switch every few months though.

Can someone give me some information about the differences between the German Wirehaired Pointer, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, and the Pointer (English)? I am not a hunter. The pup would be doing field trials, tracking, agility, etc. I am more looking for the differences in personality, training, et...

kerplunk105

I already want another GSP. They are quite addicting. Plus, I need a dog that can keep up with Leena

My Labrador is 9 and has never been one of those very energetic types

kerplunk105

Some more of Leena yesterday on our walk. I adopted her. So, we arent sure of her lineage. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j83/Kerplunk105/Dogs/100_3250.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j83/Kerplunk105/Dogs/100_3245.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j83/Kerplunk105/Dogs/100_3246.jpg http:...

I used Healthwise Active Adult for Leena (6mo).

kerplunk105

Leena destroys all of her stuffed toys eventually. The pheasants head was off in a matter of minutes.

Thank you! She eats a mixture of California Natural Chicken&Rice for Puppy and Healthwise Chicken&Rice Active Adult. She also gets fish oil supplements, (2000mg/day).

kerplunk105

Kerplunk105 welcome to the forum. Nice first post. Everybody likes pictures here. Is that a stuffed pheasant she's chewing up ? LOL Nice Pics. Good looking pup Thank you.
