There have been lots of times I wish I had a camera also. It is pretty amazing how fast they can fly. Your story reminded me of that guy who flew a single man plane with the geese. So did you feel like one of the flock if only for a moment?

twofeathers

I agree with the above. Probably wouldn't let anyone say sit around him until he breaks that habbit. My kids can't remeber what I told them yesterday I think you will be ok.

twofeathers

Mine does that also and will lay on the floor by me and lean his head against my feet to. Doesn't act like that outside though just in MY house.

twofeathers

And for yourself I found the H.S scents, scent away I use for deer hunting worked also.

small dog pen...say...30 x 20 I don't mean to sound harsh but if I am understanding this correctly, the thing you are keeping him in is inhumane. You said he was a rescue dog and the shelter told you he didn't need a kennel. The way they keep them is inhumane also, even though they may not have muc...

He is bored. My dog will dig like that when he does not get enough exercise.

twofeathers

Pull does the same thing. He is over a year old and has pointed mice since he was a puppy. After seeing him do that so much I caught on to his tail waggin like crazy while on point. With birds no tail. And with skunks growls while pointing (learned that one the hard way). Even though I know it's a m...

Whats the price you paid for anyones I see they are about $250

Try feeding it cat food for a while, that darn cat of my daughters just lays around all day. Never comes when you call it and just stares at you all the time like it could just flip you the bird.

:roll:

I personally would never let a dog get away with hunting behind me. Depending on the wind. There are times when the wind is at our backs in thick cover we have gotten birds from dogs who circled back after hitting scent of a running bird and ended up popping up right behind us. So I wouldn't say ne...

When my kids are going bonkers in the house and need to "burn of some energy" they are told to either clean or go outside and play. Not sure how your dog is at doing dishes or dusting so you may want to take him out to play. See if he likes Jack Daniels I know I do. :D All kidding aside a tired dog ...

So I took my dog out today to run him on some quail. He had his first find before he even had a chance to drop his load :D He had a nice point on about 6 quail. He hunted about 1/2 hr and I found him standing tall on another covey of quail. Then about 10 minutes later I hear some barking and growli...

After re-reading your post I guess an even more common misconception would be to generalize what everyone calls a pure bred anything. Pure to what genes they have now. Or pure to original genes. Scientifically evolution in the term itself eliminates purity from all species. I do get what your saying...

twofeathers

To be honest I totally agree with you. What you said did not anger me at all, and it was not I who will be arguing with you. However I am not a breeder. And quite a few "breeders" make more $$$ per pup because of pedigrees of which we both agree could possibly be doctored up to look as good as one w...

Sounds as though your in the mood for a good ol argument. Good luck with that.

I did a lot of research on this and still never felt entirely comfortable with the generics so I just found a cheaper place to buy Heartgard from. You can purchase it in Australia without a Rx. Even with shipping cost it is still much cheaper than anywhere else. It takes about 10 days or so to arri...

A/C Guy see MARCH GSP LITTER in dogs for sale on this forum.

Just an Idea I had on the subject. Our kids have a 25foot trampoline and our dogs when running in the yard in the summer will lay under it to cool off. It already has holes on the edges where the springs go and probably could be folded to work for what you need. I bet you could look through the pape...

Having two kids I can tell you if that dog is an inside dog "no tug of war" is impossible.

We have an Australian Sheppard in the house and twice a year she will shed A LOT . What we have found to work for us and the dog is when she starts we take her to a groomer and have her shaved. The hair will grow back and durring that time there is minimal hair being shed. The dog seems to enjoy it ...

just call him deeyogee (DOG). wait,that may be chinese or somthin. That is actually our house dog's name. Kinda rolls of the tounge we call her D for short. You could name her Cora Bell . Cora translates to cow (not in german) since she is black and white. Another fun thing to do is go to an englis...

Another way around the water bottle is a camelback, or a hydration backpack I've noticed thet they even started selling an off brand of these with replaceable bags at walmart. Haven't gotten one yet but will before summer. I think they were like $20.

In my own opinion when my dog "gets" to have his collar on he knows were gonna do something fun (hunting,training,long walks in the field) I would take control of my house similar to the earlier post with "Alpha dog tactics". It may seem to take some time but will pay off in the end when you can tru...

twofeathers

I wonder if at some point he was able to get birds to fly out of the bush by doing that action. Perhaps he is only trying to impress you "Look dad heres where birds are".

twofeathers

I have a 6x15 kennel and also have a 30ft chain in the back yard. We have A LOT of back yard and live in the country. Pull seems much happier on the chain than in the kennel, seems to have more room to run also. Just wondering what some others view points vs. the two are.

Recieved the Hi-Viz blaze orange collar this weekend. First thing out of my mouth after opening the package was "WOW" this is by far the most well built collar I have ever bought. Talked to Mary on the phone before purchase and informed her I have a "heavy pulling" dog she used heavy duty D rings an...

Nice looking pup, KS Quick Vom Riverwoods on his mothers side is a beautiful very large dog. Gonna grow like a weed on yah.

twofeathers

My boy still squats also he is a year and three months old.

twofeathers

He was 67lbs. at his one year check-up. Probably about the same now. Think I will try cutting back a cup less morning and evening for a bit to see if it helps thanks.

twofeathers

Oh believe me with a thirteen year old and a nine year old there is always someone else to blame. :roll: Perhaps he is getting just a little too much food he eats 3 cups at 8:00A.M. AND 3 cups at 5:00P.M. Believe me he would eat way more If I put more down. He was eating what we were feeding our Aus...

Been feeding my GSP "Black Gold" .................less stool and coat looks great, at first thought the gas was because of change in diet but is not going away. Two questions, 1) Is very raunchy gas a sign of something? 2) Is it harmful other than to my nose? He really seems to like this feed and I ...

twofeathers

I was taking my pup before he was a year old. Just have fun with it, if your worried about making a bad shot leaving a potentially harmful encounter for your dog, don't shoot. If you only shoot a bird that he holds point on and doesn't flush the bird, you should be able to get pretty close to the bi...

I was going to order one of the hi-viz orange. Wondering if you had one and if it fades or not.

I do agree with you..........I never heard of this, and never questioned it myself. The way he posed his argument seemed to have some validity with those offspring being inside the mother and her giving to them and absorbing from them that their blood cell or dna could be absorbed by her. I really h...

twofeathers

I agree, but I did not want to kill his "bird crazy" drive. Also most of the birds he did get were trying to steal food out of his bowl. Actually I think it was more like bait as he would act like he didn't see them and then pounce once they were at his bowl. He never even acts interested in the coo...

twofeathers

Very nice you sure have some talent with that camera. Great way to catch and keep some good memories.

twofeathers

Just to clear things up there isn't a dog involved with this question, we were discussing bloodlines when this came up. And he made the analogy that someone had told him (not to be rascist) that if a white woman was pregnated by someone of another race that somehow her genetics slightly change also....

twofeathers

I have a question that a buddy asked me the other day. If a bitch becomes pregnant by some other breed or mutt, and whelps that litter would that in anyway affect what she could pass on to future offspring (bloodline)? I wanted to say that it does not, but was not absolutely sure.

twofeathers

I had 20 pullets before having a gsp. We let them free range all summer. When pup was about 6mo. we had 12 left. This winter we have one left. If you want to keep your chickens keep them cooped up.

twofeathers

My pup did act like that with dead birds at first also even wounded birds(son has a bb gun). After lots of walks afield and sparrows and smaller birds taking off while he tried to catch he started to figure out he couldn't just catch them with his speed so he had to sneak'em. It was even funnier whe...

twofeathers

In my opinion eliminate the threat to your livestock and say nothing to the owners. Legal retaliation is not the only style of retaliation. It sucks but there are some wierd people in this world and they may retaliate for killing thier dogs.

twofeathers

Sounds good. Can't wait for spring to get here.

twofeathers

Heres my pup a little over a year old he's had nicer points but I usually have a gun not a camera.

twofeathers

I guess to each his own. Good Luck.
