Any way to post a picture of it? At that age depending on the breed,I think you have a pretty good chance that it could be "cherry eye".

I happen to be a shirtailed relation to Craig, Found this out through his brother who has english setters which I have,I went to see his brothers english setters and found out that his brothers dog was a littermate to an old dead dog I owned(neither were dead at that point but they are now).That's h...

I posted in that other thread,I had the dog that was 18 months old who liked to knock and chase, now for the rest of the story,I also had her littermate sister that was the one of two dogs I've owned that were very very pointy,that female pointed hard every bird she ever came across.Same parents sam...

My buddies shorthair pointed a bobcat a couple years ago,as my buddy approached he could see that something wasn't right about the point,the dog lunged into the brush and came out really fast wearing about a 35 pound cat on his face and neck.If it werent for his shock collar he would have big big tr...

I ran a dog under him in an amateur nationals stake and met him,seemed like a pretty nice feller,he was far more excited about my dog showing 100 yards in front of us than I was,my thoughts were "Jesus,you could have poked out of that brush another 100 yards up there" Ol Dave stood up in his stirrup...

Isolated incident,don't exacerbate it by trying to add more pressure to the situation by making a big deal out of it,turn him loose and let him go,your not in a trial your hunting.The birds flew up in his face,he backed away the only way he knew how,kept the front feet still and sat down getting awa...

Can't judge what you didn't see, warm,cold or otherwise. Leave them both down and wait for it,it will happen again if it's naughty behavior,when it happens again................ get the hook or scratch the dog off the use list.Benefit of doubt goes to the dog on the first go around.

Wildweeds

If you just want to go so you can have fun with your dog,just do it and enter and run, more than likely they will let you run,the local Nstra clubs here have trouble getting full trials,so your money here would be green enough to overlook the paperwork issue.Keep in mind however That if you win,Only...

Dave Mcguiness has been dead along long time.Your thinking of Mike his son,Seen more than one dog supposedly trained by Mike,I wouldn't send one there if YOU were paying the bill.

Myself personally if my dad made a statement about shooting anything that flies,He's going to be hunting with the flusher only,take the chesapeake and he can hunt over her. Second of all,every time I've been to South Dakota there has been more than enough birds to limit out over perfect dogwork,your...

Wildweeds

The saying if it ain't broke,don't fix it pops into mind. I myself would pass on those birds and step up the game in your own loft as far as breeding to increase your allready healty flock. I'd try that before I bought or aquired for free birds that came from a source with health issues.

When hunting pheasants(the wild variety) be aware that suicide queens exist and will try to get your dog to chase them away,many times there will be several tight sitting roosters in the same general area,this holds true later on in the season when cold weather is at hand.I've flushed as many as 7 h...

I agree that it's a training issue,the pointing labs I've seen exhibited more desire to retrieve than point,they semi point naturally but the retrieving is 100% natural.The obiediance of sitting until told otherwise is what is lacking in these ill mannered duck blind dogs.

I have skeeter problems here and use a cattle spray called Permetherin,you can apply it to the animal or use it as an area spray,I use it on the lawn and kennell area and it works pretty good,it works for quite awhile provided it doesn't rain to much.I did 2 aplications last year one about this time...

+1 Ferals for a retriever. I figure your gonna use them for your dog to flush. start out by pulling the flight feather's and putting them out. Let her catch every one. It'll make her flush harder when she can't catch them. Once she's going good, dizzy a couple and bring her back looking for her to f...

Parlor trick used to sell pups most often,as has been allready stated,a way to see what you inherited through genetic cross,once you've evaluated......... throw it away and let em be pups.I actually just use live birds to evaluate with.

Too many knuckleheads out there to make your plan even remotely feasible.Dog has to have a personal connection with it's handler the majority of the time,there are few exceptions to this,the dog that will work for anyone,you know the type,the one that Ray Charles or an eight year old could handle wi...

I'd advise against the slam latches,it's what I've got and I haven't had an escape but one is possible if care is not taken to check and doublecheck.My doors are on an angle and have gas shocks for holding the doors open as well as closed because they are slightly over center in the closed position....
