20210723_193625.jpg So dog never rides up front with me but had birds and gear in the back. Going down the road I petted his shoulder and felt something so I pulled it off and tossed out the window. Found a second 1 and as I looked at it it blow out. Got home and noticed the 2 bare spots. Sent a pi...

I would sell the dog to someone wanting that big run. You wouldn't hook Secretariat up to a plow would you?

I use the cedar bedding also. Available at most farm stores , or pet supply stores. Helps fight odor and has some bug resistance qualities.
Only downside is it clings to the dogs a little bit so it gets spread around some.

Believe I read somewhere that the Smiths worked hard at finding a perfect dog box / sleeping area. They found dogs preferred the round bed provided by a barrel laying on its side. Maybe get a large heavy plastic barrel and split it in 2 lengthwise.

Whether people or other dogs snatch items from a dog/puppy it can create real problems down the road. A timid dog may become bird shy. A dominant may figure it's theirs and not want to come near. Dogs play keep away from each other oblivious to their owners. Any of that sound familiar? My weims have...

I fell into the same trap -over anxious- to train . Let the puppy be a puppy! I subjected my 4 month old female to early navhda training-with a professional trainer , she had zero interest in planted birds. She still isn't really interested in planted birds at 3 years old. She is a rock solid pointi...

Head shaking and dirty ears are almost always associated with allergies. Most likely external rather then food. Dogs ears are great indicators of their health.

weimdogman

No one has asked , is the dog a proven sire? Is there any money to be regained in stud fees?

I think if you like the dog and see no health problems , the 3000
Is fair. I believe the dog should have at least 5 more years in him.

weimdogman

He’s for sale really because of a change of circumstances in the owners life, he doesn’t has as much time as he originally thought to hunt him as he would like. The unfortunate fact is there are always more good dogs than there are good homes for those dogs. Money is relative and it is not everythi...

Here's to the strength to carry on and the wisdom to treasure the past.

Great to see a young dog handler that hunts.

The collars which I just received for replacing the poor quality ones in my Garmin P10s , are no better , or no worse then Garmin's originals. Garmins roller collars are better but at 2x the price of those I got from Gun Dog Supply.
At least these are affordable to throw away every 5 months.

I have been working on steady to flush/wild flush and steady to birds standing-walking-running around. Worked my dog on 3 wing clipped pigeons Saturday evening and he was great. I was.out front of him and couldn't make any corrections-he was steady! Tonight turned up the intensity - had him do a cou...

A pup can make a old dog young again!

Sorry for your losses,best of luck in the future.

Glad to have another pheasant hunter on the forums!

weimdogman

Just placed a little order with them. Helpful competent sales staff accommodating to my shipping requests. And the prices were great

weimdogman

Might be other dogs in the vicinity?

weimdogman

Perhaps you have never realized that a ugly person gets less attention from strangers then a handsome devil like you

weimdogman

At a navhda hunt test and had a pro trainer/ judge tell of how she was introduced to highly trained dogs. She was living out west and would run into guys with dogs in dogboxes at stores or gas stations. Would greet them and ask about their dogs ? She isn't a bad looking gal and 20 years ago was prob...

Welcome to the forums.
Tollers are neat dogs.
Kelly Schur on fb is a toller owner who handles dogs in shows and hunts! She maybe a great source

Everything I have read discourages aborting. Plenty of 15 month old dogs have litters. It is not ideal. Like others I think it is a false pregnancy as milk is awful early.

weimdogman

Doyle I believe you meant "ground them down and ran them through the receiver. " ?

weimdogman

I glanced at gundog supply yesterday. They do offer many types. I will look at them again on a computer rather then my phone. Hope I just overlooked some options.

weimdogman

Slistoe , where is your source? Honestly don't want nylon but haven't even seen those.

weimdogman

I know I can punch holes and cut length off. I can also make my own collars. It just seems odd no one has collars for the pointing dog market.

weimdogman

Seriously I never see 1" collars with a d-ring or center ring ( or both) that are a appropriate size for anything smaller then labs or German Shepard. My weims are bigger then most other pointing breeds and collars are to big or not of "working" quality. Why can't holes be 3/4" apart rather then a i...

weimdogman

I have a opinion but now I have to wait another 7 years to post and keep this going

weimdogman

don't sell your Dachsund short (pun intended) they are aggressive little hunters!

I stopped at Tractor Supply and saw a pallet of Victor High Pro plus. There are a few kennels around here so I was looking around to see who bought it. I didn't see anyone so I looked at the bags and there was a sign Regular 44.95 Clearance 20.00 I bought the pallet.. Go to Tractor supply and check ...

Welcome to the forum ! There aren't many questions you can ask here that someone wont relate to and many will have answers.
Good luck with the training!

weimdogman

friend has a 3 year old dog who is not aggressive towards other dogs or people. Now has a young pup who the older dog has been fine with for a month. Pup got his paw caught and started yipping,older dog was over him growling with hackles up. Pup was having trouble pooping and whining dog over him gr...

weimdogman

Sir I am sorry to hear the news . Thank you for all you have done for us and I am confident a exponential # more in the dog world.
May your remaining days pass peacefully.

weimdogman

Thanks for crunching those numbers

I started a thread about adding olive oil as I wanted more fat without going to a higher protein/higher fat and never got these numbers worked out.

This thread should be helpful to many!

weimdogman

I looked at the link on my phone and brought up the nutrition for the lesser food not the 32/32.

The 32/32 has almost 50% more kcal per cup.

Maybe it would be easier if you let the dog food company add the fat for you https://www.inukshukpro.com/inukshuk-3232
Less then 200kcal per cup different then ppp 30/20
37% more calories in every cup.

How ? Where is this info

I was hoping dog dr. might offer some guidelines a little more specific then dollops and glugs.

USDA says 115 calories and 13 grams of fat in a tablespoon of lard.

weimdogman

So if you use lard , 1 tblspn for how many cups?

Corn oil tblspn per ?

weimdogman

How do you add the fat?

weimdogman

From your picture I believe I see top of hip bone? That is where I begin to up food intake. GSPs can have torsion. Big meals can be as dangerous as exercising on a smaller meal. I just can't feed over 4 cups at a time in good conscience. My dogs ideally weigh around 75ibs. and I switched to PPP just...

weimdogman

So I have 3 dogs and use the collars almost daily,often 2x a day for short periods. Collars are crap and have to be replaced well before the electronics. Now that being said I noticed after some time the collars lose the lower settings,say 4 and under. I think the real "cost" of using the Garmins fi...

weimdogman

Sorry for your loses. May Star and her male companion patiently roam until you are able to rejoin them.

weimdogman

I would look at size of the stools. If the dog is passing the food rather then digesting,then increasing volume won't help. Believe you dont want to feed 2X a day but that is what I do. 4cups at a time is a lot to process.

weimdogman

Bring the dog in cross wind and stop them the minute they turn to the scent.

weimdogman

Don't remember which it is but I prefer the 1 which uses 9v batteries. Go train and dead battery, just pop in a new 9v.
Mine last 2 years if I don't forget to turn them off

weimdogman

I went with Interceptor Plus. Vet says covers the most and is cheaper. Cost wasn't the issue but a pleasant surprise.
