I think the whole thread is hilarious!.. I have this image of the Dachs pushing a step stool around with his nose trying to catch up to the GSP!..

For the record, my wife is close to 5" taller than me, so it can be done!!!

Heard a story about an elderly lady that was pushing her groceries out to her car & saw 3 men sitting in the vehicle... she pulled out her .38 snubby and chased them off... when she went to start the car, her key wouldn't work... that's when she looked in the next row over and saw her car... identic...

Pups & bird feeders are hilarious! They're like a teenage boy out in front of a brothel! :lol: They can't help but be interested but have no clue what to do! :lol: Mine pointed everything that moved & still does! Enjoy & stap some pictures. The distractions make them stand still for half a second an...

Welcome to the site & glad to hear you got a pup! Be patient with the training and generous with praise... your pup needs to bond with you first. :D Let him be a pup and enjoy it cuz they grow quick! Get some books and if you can, find someone with experience in training dogs. Work with basic obedie...

They ate a lot of corn out of the crib, got milk at the barn, scraps from the house and ate a lot of Pre-Pig Starter. In the winter they would get any animal we sometimes would lose from an injury or whatever. Stop to think about it they were eating practically every ingredient that are called fill...

Spinone... The look in your dogs eyes in your avitar says... "hee hee hee... you want pigeon?.. I can arrange that..."

Being new to the versatile dog thing... I have a dumb question... do you guys use the e-collar when you are training the dog to use the tv remote?.. I'm afraid I've confused mine...

Stihl... but I also have an old Johnson Red that runs like a champ after years and years of abuse...

HEE HEE HEE... WHEN MY DOG WAS ABOUT 10 MONTHS OLD SHE RAN SMACK INTO A FAWN... I lit her up good and that fawn kicked the living daylights out of the dog! LOL She came ki-yiein' back up the hill to me with her tail between her legs and hid behind me! To this day if there is a deer in the back yard,...

SHORTFAT

I love a puppy from just about any breed, Labs, Setters & Pointers... and any staunch dog on point... but I really like to see a gentle old gray faced dog with lots of feathers in it's past...

SHORTFAT

Ok, I'll rephrase the question... is a house dog / pet easier to "fix" if it's soft than a kennel kept dog? This is an honest question, as I've only ever had my dogs in the house... but does it make a difference if the dog is "all business" or not?

SHORTFAT

Very sorry!

SHORTFAT

Can you repair damage done to a soft dog ( I think he's smart hardhead)? Had bad experience with trainer not knowing how to work with soft dog. I think it's probably easier with a dog that you have time on the "couch" with... bonding and trust will go along way to "undoing" old mistakes... the dog ...

SHORTFAT

I have very, VERY limited experience with training the pointing breeds, but from my own problems, it seems that birds, and more birds will help fix just about anything a dog struggles with... at least with mine... and she is very soft... kind of the old "class room boredom" thing, then when I got ou...

In the game of life, reputation does matter. I try to never say anything online i wouldn't say to someones face AND I learn alot about people from the WAY they answer posts and less from their actual opinion. If nothing else, it helps me filter those who I'd rather not deal with in this great wide ...

SHORTFAT

I think the Trialers should care what the dog looks like, if only for the enhancement of the compition and quest for the "perfect" dog... but that's because there are plenty of us, myself being one of them, who benefit from the "cast offs" that don't make the cut... :mrgreen: I have a house dog - pe...

SHORTFAT

+1 for the above advice... start at the beginning and work on BASIC commands and discipline... also, it is important to take this opportunity to teach your CHILDREN how to care for and how to properly train a dog. They will thank you years from now and you will be passing on information that they wi...

Our EP has a house she lets us keep our clothes & things in between walks & hunting trips...

Nice... I liked it.

Try to pick a fight with the dominant hen. Every so often it will work and she will bring in the fellas on a string... Good luck... I'm in the same boat. :roll:

Man, I've tried for three years to get my dog to stand on her hind legs and spray a bigger area!!! I'd like her to kill the whole stinkin' yard cuz I hate mowin'! :mrgreen: My wife gets mad tho', cuz if I leave and don't take her with me, she will poop right at the gate so I step in it when I come b...

SHORTFAT

I love 'em all... I was always a Lab guy... but I wanted a pointing dog... I was looking for a Setter, but wound up with an EP by accident... stumbled on her... Honestly, I love the looks of the Setters, and I will eventually have one, but this Pointer is such a clown in the house and such a worker ...

SHORTFAT

I bet they won't. Most of the charges are garbage and if you think this isn't a left wing propaganda campaign I have news for ya... I love how everyone says "plead guilty, take it like a man!" .. until they get charged with something... :roll: I see it every day.

A few years back I spent some time with him on two different occassions in a private setting with no public or media around. I can honestly say he is sincere in his beliefs and I do not think he disregards the law. Anyone who spends the number of days afield that he does will have unknowingly violat...

Let's start a new thread to debate the Lab - Chessie thing... Thanks...

Munster, I'm sure you're not the first to encounter this... I would put some serious thought into coming up with something yourself... something like the old plastic head cone used to keep them from licking, only behind the front legs kinda thing...if you come up with something, get a patent for it ...

Thanks for sharing! Tell us more!

Saved a runt they were going to destroy about two and a half years ago... Got her for free, but no papers and I agreed to get her fixed and not breed her... Love her & wouldn't trade her for the pick of that litter!

In Jersey the cost of the neurtering probably comes with 6 months of protection for the dog... :mrgreen: I paid around $350 for a spay and I thought that was steep, but the next closest vet was 40 miles away and the same price... but we got a microchip, lifetime license and a manicure... :lol: plus ...

Never had anyone to teach me the mushroom game... always been afraid to try... would love to tho, cuz I love 'em. Picked a bunch of leeks today... some folks know 'em as ramps. Be chowin' down on leek dip tonight!

Wife will make me sleep in the basement!

Take Don's advise! I wish I had my old Lab back, cuz he turned out great inspite of all of my mistakes! :lol: It's ok for our expectations to be high, just take smaller steps as a trainer to get there.
