I use a sheep herder's whistle, so my whistle does not sound like anyone else's

I have a bunch of them. One hanging on the rearview mirror of every truck and one at the front door, back door and side door. Oh yes the one around my neck.

BUY it.

I also have three collars.

Also get on line with the unit plugged in and make such you have the latest software. Updates are free.

Good stuff.

I have the same problem with my two GSP's 4 and 8 years old.

Hunt one dog at a time and each dog hunts much better.

Best wishes.

DON'T DO IT! This type of adventure never works out, unless there is an IRON CLAD legal contract. The contract will be so iron clad no one will sign it. Start by listing the "what ifs" and start with death & divorce, lost my job, kids need teeth etc, etc. Then sooner than later someone will be using...

A SxS is only as good as it fits you. Example: On a neutral cast I will be looking down the left barrel. Try mounting the SxS with your eyes closed, then open them and see where you are really looking. I now have a SxS that was fitted to me and I can really knock down the birds with it. Shotguns.......

8 years ago I started out with 24 pigeons after eight months and they were breeding and I opened the loft and since then they have been free flyers. The strangest thing is that now there is never more then 12 even though they are breeding like rats. Between the dogs and hawks they have come to an un...

S.D. and MA are very different states.

Roosters run. Hens will flush and the rooster will sneak out the back. Roosters will drive some pointing dogs crazy. Some pointing dogs figure it out some never do. My two GSP's like to tag team roosters. I hunt roosters in the wilds by myself and not the farm lands, so it is a lot different. Chukar...

FFL to FFL In other words; your FFL receives the firearm you have purchased that is sent from the sellers FFL. Fees vary. Dealers that want to make money participate. A reasonable fee not counting the fees for the legal documents is about $50. You pay seller up front. The FFL dealers do not get invo...

Before you go on your hunt do a search for a Vet that will be close to where your will be hunting. Call them and ask them how many snake bits they treat each year. Also ask them if they keep the anti-venom in stock. Many don't because it is expensive and has a shelf life. Always carry antihistamine ...

reba

I was wondering if anyone was going to read the label, or do some research before they gave their dogs free stuff.

Any medication could cause liver damage. Consult your vet first.

Have been using Kirkland chicken and rice for better than ten years.

All five dogs look great!

I like the looks I get from people in the store when I have a load of 10 bags on my cart.

Dog Locomotion and Gait, by Curtis M Brown is the book you want.

It has many drawings of different breeds showing their movement and gait.

I worked for Mr Brown back in the 70's. The book is excellent!

reba

My GSP's run the lava weeks on end and never have problems with their feet. Be sure the toenails are trimmed short to avoid broken toenails. Once again without regard to breed you need a TUFF DOG................................... Some will not agree, but stay away from light colored toe nails and f...

The secret is getting the correct colored carpet and furniture.

I can't add much to what Gordon Guy has to say. Best to buy a chukar dog from a breeder that hunts chukar and is located in chukar country. With that said, my male GSP is built like a tank and a tuff as they come and he is from the mid-west:-)= My female GSP is from Idaho and I never questioned what...

Vest or no vest it is up to you; however there are some things I would like to point out. Some vests will rub a dog in the arm pit area. Most vests will pick up trash, stickers, sticks, burs etc and cause problems for your dog. There are times your dog will get a vest hung up in the brush or hopeful...

A driven male dog can, has and will break into a house.

Yes, even through a glass window.......................

I've seen it happen. People pay top dollar for "PICK OF THE LITTER" and NEVER do they choose "PICK OF THE LITTER" they simply choose what they want, sex, color, etc. Picking a pup. Throw a live pigeon and see which pup gets there first. Did any run in the wrong direction and hide? Watch them at feed...

I am hunting them in Wyoming where the limit is 2 per day. Lots of birds if you find the right habitat. Hard to call the dogs off when their are a lot of birds. Also seem to be more ruffed than last year. Limits are usually based on the number of birds state wide. The length of season is also part o...

I can tell you this; I no longer hunt with a guy that has an aggressive dog.

Sooner or later it might get really ugly:-(=

BTW using an e collar to correct this aggression might make it even worst.

Wish I knew how to help.

reba

Montana,

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

Best wished

reba

Feed twice a day.

Do not free feed.

Measure the feed every time.

Lots of water.

Feed more. Some dogs of the same breed will required different amounts of food.

Weigh the dog often; such as every couple of weeks.

A good looking Pointer looks skinny to most people.

To all my friends on this forum - thanks for the private e-mails and messages thanking me for calling Scott out on this subject.

BTW when I made my first comment I had no idea who Scott Linden was. Now I really know who he is. A very important guy. He's on TV!

If it starts on the top of the paw, try at least 10 days with no field work. I know it's tuff, but this does happen. Time to get another dog.

A boot on the paw with vet wrap up the leg. Don't get it too tight. The boot may cause more problems.

reba

Not uncommon. They want to be assured you are what they think you are. A little tweet or voice command will help.

Light solid colors are easier to see.

You are at the beginning of your pup learning hand signals.

GOOD STUFF

reba

Leaving in a couple of days. Will start in Wyoming for chickens, then up to Montana for huns, sharptail and pheasants. Then back to Wyoming for fill my goat tag and fly fish for browns. Then over to Idaho for chukar, huns and pheasants. Try a new spot in Nevada for chukar and end up chasing mearns. ...

reba

Rabbits! Rabbits! Rabbits! Back to rabbits later. My GSP's will point sheep, cows, goats, bobcat, mountain lion, skunk, antelope, a Montana wolf and a Montana porcupine. I am sure I've left something out. What I want to stress is be certain what it is that your dog is pointing before you release it....

reba

There are wolves in open grassland/farmland/CRP, etc.

Scott,

I think your little white mustache is cute.

reba

Scott,

Let's see now, you make a living giving up the hot spots of where to hunt or fish and I insulted everyone?

I was exposing folks to what you really are.

I stand firmly on what I said in my first post.

Buzz off!

reba

Scott,

I really hate guys like you that want to write about where to hunt.

If you want to write about what type of quail are in AZ and their habitat that's OK.

Other than that buzz off.

To the fools that tell him anything you can buzz off also!

reba

I hope there are no chickens on the ranch.

With that said, I have an ACD that is the best flushing and retrieving dog west of the Mississippi. She learned on our chickens. She killed a couple and brought them to me. I did nothing but praise her. The training cost only two chickens!

reba

I use some stuff called Endure, which is glucosamine and chondroitin.

It's a powder that smells like the South China Sea at low tide, so the dogs really like it

Can't tell if it works, but my dogs hunt over 100 days in the field every year.

reba

Some times on some dogs this type of vest will rub under the front legs.

If a dog was to wear a vest I would want it orange.

Three years ago I had a Black Wolf encounter while hunting sharp tail in NE Montana. I had my two GSP's on the ground and my older dog, Dutch, went on hard point. I leased up the then pup and put her on whoa. I walked up to Dutch ready for the flush. No flush and Dutch wasn't going to move. I then l...

Mostly it is the size of the kibble

Kongs are good.

Boxes and such, make sure there are no staples.

I hunt my GSP dogs over 100 days every year. They each eat at least 61/2 cups of very good kibble every day. They are always showing some (3) ribs and are as tuff as nails. If your dog is in good health and you are feeding a very good kibble, please increase the amount you are feeding with lots of w...

Francois,

What game are you hunting with your dogs?

How much aggressiveness will neutering take out of a two year GSP? A friend has this dog and I need to give him the message before something terrible happens. If he brings this dog around any for my other friends dogs it will get very ugly. I just will not put my dogs on the ground with it. Thank you.

Frank,

I would contact a GSP breeder in Loveland.

Wing Works is the best strap vest.

How many pheasants do you want to carry?

Had a Lab swallow a sock one time. Vet said to give him a dinner roll with a spoon full of vasoline every morning. He pass it in a few days.
