If you hear them click when walking on concrete or a hard surface in your house they are too long.

ACooper

Besides breaking them, and more importantly nails that grow too long can change the locomotion of the dog setting it up for injury to the foot and joints as well as reducing stamina. Long nails can also change the way a dog stands on its feet sometimes causing breakdown of the foot itself.

Yea but Edmond Club don't tell you that you only able to hunt the bird leases about once a ,month. The Okc Sportsman Club there online reservation system allows everyone to have the same access to all leases, no one has any advantage over anyone else as of where to hunt. The reservation system is s...

Thanks for clearing that up Kelly. Are any of the properties set aside for upland hunting only? Yes we have over 20,000 acres in north Texas bird hunting only. We have 10,000 acres in the panhandle that is loaded with blue quail that is primarily bird hunting and we have land in Kansas that is feat...

I looked into it a couple years ago when I was primarily a deer and dove hunter and it was just more money than I was willing to spend for land I had to worry I wouldn't have access to hunt when I wanted to hunt. I have been a member for many years. Never had a problem getting access to land. With ...

Can you copy it or is there a way to see other's pedigrees like PerfectPedigrees?

Yes you can actually save as a pdf, and search pedgirees also.

I like the Gundogcentral pedigree generator.

I sure hope they get this resolved soon!

The issues with Monsanto have nothing to do with GMO crops, the issue with Monsanto are solely related to their business practices IMO.

Last pup I had was by far the worst to get comfortable with his crate, he even had sores on his lips from biting the gate... it was wild for nearly two weeks. However as mentioned above, if you go talk to, take out of the crate or give any kind of feed back you are compounding the problem. Move the ...

Andre Ward is fighting again in about a month, I believe it will be on cable.

The fight went as expected Floyd does what he always does, make everyone else look bad.

Ted we are on the same page, I do not think it is advisable to have hot wire to keep your bird dog away from birds, you may never have an issue, however it is not something I would risk.

No, it is to keep the dog away from the birds.

I made the switch from Pro-plan to Victor 18 months ago or so, I could not be more please. I am feeding Hi Pro Plus and also Ultra Pro 42 to a few of my dogs. My dogs do fantastic on it.

Level of a started dog should be congruent with the age and cost. There isn't and never will be a set standard for a started dog. I hunt with plenty of guys who's go to hunting dogs are not trained to the level that most on the internet expect of a started dogs.

At this point there have been enough "NAVHDA" bred dogs do well in field trials, and enough "Field Trial" bred dogs do well in NAVHDA that this argument is just silly.

What's a trial dog? NSTRA? AA? SHOOTING DOG? GSPCA? NGSPA? COVER DOG, NBHA? There are plenty more we could list, so what trial dog don't make good hunting dogs?

The majority of trial dogs are hunting dogs first. That's very debatably. In the beginning all breeds were hunting dogs. Many horse back FT's today are lucky to see a full hunting season . Some about all they see is pen raised birds. Yet the question remains, Why are FT dogs the gauge of hunting br...

Could it be that long ago Americans were BS'd into thinking that the best meat dogs came from horse back FT blood. For years we've had a game that gauged the best bird dogs yet had nothing to do with hunting. It's been stated how many times on this thread that trials ain't hunting and hunting dogs ...

It is a dilute gene that exists in some lines of GSP. It is not an accepted color and is a fault that should not be bred for.

Thanks Karen, for trying to reign in the original posted question, but the forum sometimes has a will of it's own.

For the pointing breeds. What do people think is an average working distance? Out in open country. Here is a guess on my part. I've never seen people use yards when talking about working distance so I just don't know. Bootlicker. 35 yds Close working 100 yds Medium working. 200 yds Big running. 400...
