I am probably not going to be of any help here but if my dogs aren't welcome I don't go. Plain and simple. Unless it is just a few hours. We have 4 dogs offten 5 with a foster in the mix and they go everywhere with us on the weekends. No on gets left behind. Hotel stays and all. If you don't think t...

Our team of dock jumping dogs just got a new sponsor (whoo hoo) of Nutramax who makes Dasuquin. It is a Glucosamine suplament. The person we use as our rep is out of the office til Jan. 5th. I am wondering from any of you who may use this product if it is safe for pups under a year old. Also she sen...

We tried running a small rescue for GSP's for about 6 months. Very rewarding but at the same time hard. I know many rescues won't adopt out for some reason if you have intentions of hunting. I was ok with it as long as the background info was good. And all but 2 of the 18 dogs we adopted out are now...

I decided next year I am not gong to waiste my time on making a list as no one got anything from it. :0) Except my mom. Hubby and I got a Wii for ourselves as our present to eachother. Got a couple Gander Mountain gift cards where I proceeded to get a tri-tronics beeper to add to our G3 collar and a...

MOOSE

Pretty much once you are over 3 dogs it doesn't matter if you have 4/5/6 in the house from my experience. I would also like to add one more to our home in the next 6 months but convincing the hubby of that is another story!

MOOSE

That is great! She will probably just lay around for the next few days!

MOOSE

Ray-
Thanks for the explenation. As you can tell I have never had a tracking collar!

I do totaly agree at how fast a dog can run. Especially a hunting dog!

As one can see with having to drive now 5 hours to get their dog. But I am so overjoyed for them that they found her!

MOOSE

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Congrats.

I don't want anyone to think that I am saying anyone did anything wrong at all but I don't understand I guess how a traking collar works. Is there a certian distance and the collar doesn't track any longer?

MOOSE

4- 2 female GSP's and 2 APBT (one male and one female)

MOOSE

I am so sorry to hear this. I will be keeping you in my thoughts.

MOOSE

See now I am opposite. I wouldn't have a male at this point in time on my property unless it was EXACTLY what I wanted. I like my females personalities much more than the males. JMO

MOOSE

I wish I had a four wheeler now! That looks like a blast!

Well after much debating and discussing we have decided IF this litter happens next fall/winter it will be Rudy we use. Roxi will be taking her first step soon with becoming certified as a Therapy Dog to help demonstrate to the public what a wonderful temperment she has. She is also on her way towar...

I once again made GSP calendars this year to raise money for a non profit organization. It is getting probably too close to send them out in time for Christmas but I can take more orders and get them out by first of the year. I have a general one and one with just GSP pups. A few people wanted perso...

Travel safly! It was nasty here until about 1 pm. Now the sun is out and I went and played in the truck! Love 4x4!

I donated at about 11:30 am EST and it worked ok for me. We will see!

We are getting about an inch an hour of snow. My parents said they have a snow drift on their garage door taller than their CAR! Geesh. I stayed home with the pooches today as it took me 45 minutes to make it 6 miles this morning. And my work is over 25 miles away. No way in hati am I driving that f...

MOOSE

Thanks Matt. I am in conversation with both people quite a bit. The nice thing with Lisa is that she is very local so I can go to her house if I wanted type of thing. I know that doesn't make or break a dog but it does help sometimes. :-) This is a decision we are hoping to make in the next few mont...

MOOSE

No takers on input on these two guys?

MOOSE

Here are pictures of two of the stud dogs I am looking at. First is Rudy from Shooter's Shorthairs. Here is a link to their website and a link to his pedigree: http://www.shootersshorthairs.com/index.htm http://www.shootersshorthairs.com/pedigrees/rudyped.htm Here are his pictures: http://i145.photo...

MOOSE

I realize that the stud dog isn't the full equation. But the one stud dog I have seen many a pup from him. I actualy own a pup buy him myself. And in this instance I know what the dam was like first hand as I got to meet her etc. The entire litter that my girl was from took after their sire. In this...

MOOSE

On two of them yes I have seen that first hand. The other person whom knows this is something that I want to add would not lead me astray if the stud dog I was looking at of their wouldn't or hasn't done this in the past.

MOOSE

I am looking to produce dogs that will hunt first and foremost. I want them to be versatile hunters and do well in things like NAVDHA. I also am looking to produce pups that will in time do well in the show ring. I expect all the pups to be family pets as well.

Shooters Shorthairs is breeding their solid black female when she comes in heat....

Lisa is a very nice person and always willing to help.

MOOSE

I don't mind at all that we have gone astray from the original question as this is all good info we are discussing! I am learning in the process as well. Right now I am looking at 3 different dogs. Two are pretty solid Hustler bred and one I don't see any hustler at all and that dog is no real relat...

MOOSE

Thanks everyone for your help in helping me find my 10 gen pedigree. I may enlist you all to help me with the other two female dogs I have as well.

I will see what I can come up with! It should be fun!

MOOSE

How do I get a 10 generation inbreeding coefficient done?

MOOSE

Some people may be against it but if you have a local pet store or Tractor Supply bring her with. We make sure we get our pup out at least once a week to the pet store so she sees other dogs. Talk with your other friends who have dogs and make time for you guys to just hang out at eachothers places ...

MOOSE

This is just my decision personaly. I will not show with the AKC until they allow black for the GSP in the show ring. So we are only showing with the UKC. That being said I do expect it to be a little more tough to get her CH because of her color. But I know we can do it. I also am showing our black...

MOOSE

Just wanted to update the post with a few pictures. They are not the greatest and for the first time being stacked and in a show ring and being 3 years old I think she looked pretty good. Also here are some fun shots of her in the summer. I know many of you are not show people but I think it helps t...

MOOSE

It sounds like most of you disagree with pulling Hustler to the front. So inform me as to why? I have had a few PM's mentioning some thing to look for with hustler bred dogs but want some other input as well. Like I said to that person a pretty picture doesn't always make the dog. So enlighten me. T...

MOOSE

If you look at the pedigree it isn't a very strong line breeding at all! Hustler is so far back in her lines. Not like I would be taking a hustler daughter and breeding her to a hustler son for goodness sake. I said I would like to bring some hustler back to the front of the pedigree. If you actualy...

MOOSE

Once again what I was wanting is a stud dog with heave hustler breeding at this point as I know this will compliment her from what I have seen of the few dogs I do know. But I only know a handful of breeders who have the hustler line up close so wanted to make sure I didn't miss another one out ther...

MOOSE

OhioGSP I sent you a PM as well. But no we have not discussed this dog before. I am going to pretty much stop posting on this thread unless there are new questions that one wants to ask of me which is fine. But I have said all I have to say of what I am going to do to prove this female and what I am...

MOOSE

Even though she is 3 I am going to run her in NA for the evaluation from the NAVDHA people. She has a very long story behind her and I don't want to push her to go for more than that at this time. And it will give me a good building block to work from with her. For her to come to us last February sc...

MOOSE

2. At least NA if not higher in NAVHDA, and or JH/SH I don't think you're setting a terribly high water mark for yourself right here as far as testing goes. I'd also put a dog that hunts real birds on your list. I am sorry if that wasn't a given. No kidding a dog should be able to hunt real birds. ...

MOOSE

You will do fine. Just relax! Is that horse registered? If so let me know and I will give you some insight on his bloodlines. If he is foundation appaloosa he may have the "Indian Shuffle"- google that- and if so he will be VERY comfortable to ride kind of like a TWH.

MOOSE

I was not aware that trying to plan ahead was such a problem. It was clearly spelled out that unless the dog developed as planned she wouldn't be bred but if she did what would any of you suggest or recommend. Sounds very reasonable to me for someone to ask that question from people whose opinion s...

MOOSE

This dogs temperment is IMPECIBLE! The crap she has put up with from our two year old son is enough to show she is a true specamin of a good temperment for a dog. And have you ever had a dog get certified for therapy dog work or CGC? She is able to get these certifications now not down the road. So ...

Would you rather have me go to the dog next door and not research anything?

It is better to have a goal in mind and work toward that than to just say hey that dog looks good.....

Dave- I appreciate your concern but I am not going into this blindly with no reasearch and no knowledge of anything. The Hustler lines is not what contributed to this girls flaws. The Hustlers lines have in them what I am looking to correct. The studs I will look at are going to be proven first and ...

MOOSE

Dave- Thanks for you opinion. I will be trialing this dog and such along with doing show work with her. I know what I am looking to improve in her already and do have a great list going at this point. I don't know anything about her siblings. She was a drop off with papers in hand at a shelter and w...

MOOSE

Thanks Brenda. I do have your website in my favorites list. I will look at the pedigrees. I am not sure how soon this would be happening as it depends on how soon we start showing and such.

MOOSE

Ok here is the pedigree link. We haven't decided to breed her yet as we want to show and do some hunt testing with her before making that decision. And of course hip checks and all but want some input on where to look into for a possible stud dog that would cross well pedigree wise. Throw them at me...

Thank you for posting from the wife and mothers perspective. In no means was I ever trying to undermind anyones inteligence.

Isn't this board also about honesty? What about what is best for the dog in this situation? It seems like no one except those who are telling it like it is gives a crap about how his family may suffer. How horrible of us all to say " Wait a minute...." to this situation!
