You gotta come back up, Brenda!... do wait for the summer, though - it's negative 20 degrees tonight.... I stepped outside to take the above pics - I was back inside in a flash!

Killer Instinct

Absolutely! In fact, I was hoping some of our pals from out west would post some of those beautiful clear winter sunset shots..... Rob OK Rob - Here you go: today (12-31-08) was a perfect evening here in Alaska (what a way to end the year) which is very rare - most times it's clouded over. So here ...

Here's a good read http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/russianspaniel.htm

Nice pic of one - very long ears though. I can see it'll be a grooming nightmare in some of the thickets around here.....

Hey Brenda - Pics are from when you were here in Alaska, right? Nice.....

Killer Instinct

He's beautiful! I sooo envy you....

Killer Instinct

I hope someone takes me out and puts me on birds for my last hunt too. Take care of your dog, keep them fit, hunt them often, treat them with love, and they will give you their all until the day they die. That's the way it works. Amen.... I couldn't have said it any better.....Make memories now, wh...

I'll just steal the hubby's ... as long as I return it, it's fair game, right?!....

Killer Instinct

I received my very own Laptop from the Hubby. That's so I don't keep his tied up all the time while I'm surfin' the forums (that's one way to get what you want)....

Killer Instinct

Merry Christmas to All!..... Wow, your weather patterns down below is far worse than up here in Anchorage ....

God Bless Each One of You,

You girls just don't fight fair. You know that if you "hold out" long enoug, we fellers will do anything you ask. We're so weak!

Yep!

Problem with having two dogs in the house - you can't figure out who dun it.... Came home today & hubby said "You know those pretty poinsettia lights that you put on the tree...." as he proceeds to hold up a half eaten string of lights.....

Killer Instinct

Also did the Nutro - didn't like it.... switched to Exceed from Sam's Club.... Rawhides & pig's ears do the same with my dogs - awful gas & loose stools....

Killer Instinct

Thanks for the advise on what to buy - I'll have to invest in something as I sure don't want to have another scare like that ever again.....

Killer Instinct

Took both dogs out for a recreational day (not hunting) and just about had heart failure - I lost Emma (7 1/2 mos) in the woods. Spent 45 minutes looking for her & had to call for reinforcements (search party) of several people in order to finally locate her (figured she lost her way while chasing a...

Killer Instinct

Show us some pics of your springer puppy!

Killer Instinct

She's a cutie....

Both dogs sleep on the king sized bed... twin hot potatos - fine in winter, sucks in summer.... All I get is the edge of the bed... :roll:

So sorry for your loss ....

My Liver & White springer gets mistaken for a Brittany all the time..... We were walking our previous L&W Springer & a little girl ( 3 - 4 yrs old) comes up and asks the hubby "does your dog have chicken pox?" due to all the ticking.... we died laughing.....

I graduate college in May and have been trying to talk my wife into moving to Alaska for 2 years now, still with no luck. haha Pluses: Pay is excellent.

Flew Abby out to Ohio this past 7-1-08 (she had just turned one year old).... Shipped from Alaska to Seattle to Cleveland on Continental via Cargo. They don't allow a dog to be sedated..... or at least this is what they said.....

Killer Instinct

Wish it was like that here in the Oklahoma panhandle. It is 80-85 during the day and down around 40 at night. I am ready for it to get cold and stay cold and for the snow. I love the snow and cold weather. I am a big guy so I tell my wife winter is fat guy weather. No sweating and taking off clothe...

Killer Instinct

.......And since I spend more time shoveling crap than running dogs, the tight stool is very important. Neil I feel the same way (tight stools), that's why I had switched from Nutro to Exceed (plus it's cheaper).... I did contact Purina & left my info for them to contact me regarding feeding a High...

Killer Instinct

Sorry, Rick, I scaned it ok, but then can't find it to paste. No beep pulp. I don't have a ProPlan bag around, but the last time I had one and compared them, they were the same. And I do not recall if beet pulp was in the Lamb and Rice ProPlan, is it? Neil ....... Little looser stools (especially o...

Snow is a rare thing here. When we do get a dusting (may be once in five years) we close schools and everyone goes nuts. Our road departments do not have equipment to deal with snow and ice so we just stay home and play. It is usually melted and gone by 10:00am the same day. It's common here to use...

Killer Instinct

After spending two years in SW Florida I can't wait for the snow! (I suppose I'll have to pay for saying that! :wink: ) There have been a couple of mornings where the mountains to the West have gotten a good dusting. But the weather is only just beginning to feel like fall down here. And we do have...

topher40 wrote:it harms them because feeding to "hot" of a feed can be hard on a dogs kidneys. They cant metabolize the extra protein.

So what do you suggest - Exceed 30/20 formula (for what lenght of time?) .... then switch to the lower Exceed formula (for what lenght of time)?

Killer Instinct

I feed Exceed's Chicken & Rice - haven't ever had a problem with it. My only concern in reading previous threads is that some members don't give the 30/20 year around - only during the hunting season.... by giving 30/20 year around, will this damage the dog? (sorry, not meaning to hijack your thread...

Yes..the air is still running and still mowing grass. Don't envy you regarding the mowing, but gosh darn, send me a little heat! Right now, 6:30 pm (Alaskan time) on Monday, 6th, looking out the window & wouldn't you know - it started snowing again.... I need to take the hint from the geese & fly s...

Wow, I don't envy you and the snow. ..... My gsp is the biggest baby and has been curled in a tight ball whereever she lays lately. Anyway, great photos..........and when does the sled dog training begin? :lol: Denise I know exactly how your dog feels - we started to turn on the heat for the house ...

Don't be too judgemental, until you know the facts. This could be the result of a burgarly incident, car wreck, .......or something as simple as a child leaving a gate open.

I have a 16 month old lab that will retrieve anything I throw, except real birds. He loves to hunt and does a great job. He will flush a pheasant and I will shoot and down the bird and he will run right over to it and nose it around but will not pick it up. If I pick up the bird than he wants it. I...

..... He was fine with a wing and slowly worked up to a full bird but tended to drop it about 30 feet away when bringing it back. Is force fetching the best solution to fixing this?

Our springer Emma is currently on the free 60-day AKC Pet Healthcare Plan. You have to sign up for it within a certain time frame when you get your AKC papers.

Welcome to the forum - we don't have many "springer" folks on here, so I'm glad your on board! Can't tell you anything at all regarding the DVD - haven't seen it ...
