Whats the point of these "i'm so much smarter than you" posts? Where is the love? lol

markj

Sooo since this money is now going to govt.....or a lot of it is, whats the point? Land owners will never give open access to their land. It is their job, do folks get let into your job to do as they wish? Easy solution, go buy say 150 acres of land, improve it to hold game and hunt yer butt off. Th...

Multiple pups are easy piesy, chain gang em up when training. Dont try to train both together at the same time.

markj

Simply put, he is challengeing your authoritah :) a simple whack on his nose and a firm crate now may get it done. Sometimes you need to remind pup who is boss. I am not saying break off a piece of his nose, just a simple tap and firm command. What is really going on is he says I dont want to be loc...

Nice pics there.

In three days your puppy will not pee in the house or get into one thing it shouldn't?? Now I sure didnt say that, but yes house trained in 3 days last 2 pups, as for things to get into, keep them off the floor and out of reach. Like when you have a toddler starting to walk, everything needs to be ...

markj

Was its fur messed up? Yotes usually get mange and the cold makes them nutso.

markj

I saw one of them the other day, gal says her dog food had chicken meal as its first thing etc blah blah blah. Some folks shouldnt be allowed to own a dog..... ad that tv is there to get you o buy stuff you dont really need... you thought it was for entertainement I bet lol it is a brain washing ins...

markj

You are the ONLY mechanic I have EVER heard say that. Fist cars run on alchohol, oil companies at teh time pulled kerosene or lamp oil and burnd off the gas as it was to volitol to use at teh tme. Carbs were not even around, fuel dripped into teh throat of the intake so gas wouloda exploded. Then a...

I know this seems to be a hot topic but how is this worse than a prison? 4 hour stints in the crate with an hour or so of play before and after is just fine for a puppy. What am I suposed to take off work for 6 months while I have puppy? Its yer dog, do with it as you wish. Mine is inside, her crat...

markj

Where abouts? What city will you be close to? housing is good in nebraska but the taxes will kill ya. Iowa you will pay less in tax money.

markj

I grab the pups snout firmly and say no bite. If pup still wishes to bite me then pup gets a smack upside the head. grown dogs get a sharp kick to the head as they usually are someone elses dog, mine dont bite

markj

here's the deal plain and simple,when your old outboards, snowmobiles, chainsaws etc... were designed, they were designed to use the fuel that was produced back then As a former mechanic I must say you have some real old stuff since everything internal combustion made since 1981 is built to take et...

markj

At night he is in the crate from 10:30pm - 5:30 am (latest 6am). He goes back in at 7:45 am and I am home by 12:15/12:30pm. I put him back in around 1:15/1:130pm and take him out by 5pm ish. Poor dog. Locked up worse than prison. Maybe an outdoor kennel with some room to move around in? At his age ...

markj

I understand, this is my first dog and I am still learning and I think of things as I go. Thank you all for your help, I reached out to the breeder

Good luck with the new pup, dont be nervous, its a puppy

enjoy the fun

markj

See, sometimes moving a pup from its surroundings into a strange place will make a pup hesitant. Ever har a calf just was separated from its mom? bawls forever. same with pup. Dont dump pup just cause it was anxious. Give him time to acclimate to his new surroundings. Cant belive some of the stuff I...

markj

Give it time,caution the youngster as nobody wants to have a child bit by a pup. Let the kids offer treats once in awhile, maybe even let kids put food in the food bowl. Things pup will associate with good feelings. Some dogs never take to a child so be carefull of this. Dont yell at pup or do anyth...

markj

Give me a recipe for braunscheiger I love the stuff. Used to gt real home made years ago.Deli stuff isnt even close.

markj

and are stuffing their faces with chicken mcnuggets while they type. Well now, you really dont wanta know whats in them nuggets, I know you dont wanta know cause I know whats in them nuggets..... Science to tell me how to feed my dogs? Brother you have been sooooo misled in yer life. First thing to...

markj

OK so now I run around this here forum looking at all the locked "what do you feed" threads and see a bunck of folks or maybe one with multiple logins posting all this crap about dog food. WTH? Is that the only topic this fella has to offer the foum? And corn is bad for dogs? Pistol whip that person...

markj

feed what nature guarantees and you cant go wrong. I never said that, I toofeed a kibble type product, PMI Nutrition. But my dogs loveraw cracked corn too. Every dog will eat raw meat, that doesnt mean its the best thing for them tho. I fed some left over mashed potatoes to my inside dog, she ate i...

markj

Hey, feed what ya want to feded, them dogs will eat out of a garbage can if you let em :) if the dogs are doing well, then so be it. I feed raw meat to my cats every once in awhile, the dogs get scraps from butchering. But they still go for the cracked corn :) too let the media and comercials make y...

markj

In reality, corn provides a nutritious, affordable source of carbohydrate for energy, essential amino and fatty acids for healthy skin, coat and immune system function, and a variety of other nutrients. These nutrients are released during the manufacturing process, and are easily absorbed and utili...

markj

I see now, it is a helper not a replacement. Glad it works well for you. Watched the video, was cool. Paso is a smaller breed? I rode thoroughbreds. Best horse around IMHO

markj

Mark, we have those discussions all the time here, I grew up in a farm family and live in a farm community don't know to many farmers who get upset about discussing it as long as it is done tactfully I live on a farm, my Dad has a farm.....land isnt cheap, neither is equipment. Some folks see a com...

markj

I have recently bought a lemon and white GSP

Is this a recognized color in Aussie land? Just asking, cause it sure isnt here.

markj

We obviously will never agree on this Neil, but if a tax payer is going to subsidize a farmers land, a farmers crop insurance and a farmers crop price, then that farmer gives up the right to exclusive use of his land. I must dis agree 100% with this statement. Um, go out and buy 80 acres, pay for i...

markj

I had a horse would hold its breath while saddleing, then the ting wuld slide all over the place, so I slowed down. Waited till he let it out then pulled the strap tite.

had to out smart his butt. Havent seen fat straps, do you have a link to a site I could look at them?

markj

Based on the last 2 seconds of the video Im pretty sure Id never hunt with you with the risk Id take in getting a gun swung over my head.

I got shot by a guy did just that. It hurt real bad.

markj

Scott, I recently watched a show you did in Nebraska at Pheasant Bonanza, it was real nice to watch you guys hunt land I used to hunt. Cept it was for free then, PB moved in and bought a lodge then went around land leaseing all the good hunting acres shutting us out completly. This is happening all ...

markj

Can you hear me now?

markj

a low flat tail.

Was and is the norm for a shorthair. Used to be anyways..... look at all the pretty pics in my old shorthair book.....

If the tail is the most important piece of the puzzle, well I just dont know how to put it lol I prefer teh other end to work best for me..

markj

Is it a genuine oil leaking panhead or earlier model or one of those sissified new ones for pot gutted yuppies? Neither, I gave up on teh break downs age 18 :) on my ninth goldwing, this one now has 86000 miles. Usually run them to 100000 then get a new one, this is number 9 for me, do the math :) ...

Here is what happened to me, I hada dog a female was the absolut best bird dog I ever owned. She got into teh road and was hit by a car, it broke her pelvis in a few places. Doc said it would be 3 grand min to operate, he said sometimes they can lay around and heal up just fine so we did that. She w...

You rock deseeker. I remember taking my nephew to desoto bnd for a youth hunt. My son will be next years batch. My nephew was out yesturday, he served in the marines in afgan and iraq. He did see some nasty action, we shot a 30-30 to see if he wanted to go on a deer hunt. We might have to wait, he i...

When one dog goes after the other in my kennel, I grab the go after dog by his back legs and we go aswinging :) just like tha song. After he is dizzied up a bit he forgets what was going on and gets into the kennel. Bird dogs... heh, a bird crapped on the leather on my motorcycle, dog tore it up and...

markj

A guy I sold a pup to emailed me and said "unfortunalty she has a sickle tail" I offered to buy that pup back but have heard no word. Is it such a big deal? In trialing and shows? I watch my dogs all 7 of them and see this at times, usally when they are playing around, not on solid point over a bird...

markj

Sir Frederick Von Flintstone
I like that name

This is what was included with the pedigrees:

I just like the name, not the kennel or the dogs as I have no knowledge of them at all. lol

Didnt mean for you to "read" something that isnt there. Fred Flintstone, who doesnt know his name?

markj

Nebraska is releasing a whole lota birds at several places before thanksgiving. Branched Oaks is one. Might take the boy out and hunt a bit.

markj

Feed your puppy food.

What would you do for your dog running after tweety birds when they fly? He'll point them then they fly then he's gone.... Annoying...

Is normal activity, teach whoa and then here this also keeps dog from running over a cliff, or into the path of a car. Whoa is a must IMHO

markj

In the 70s we had a tri colored springer. I dont know if that was normal as she didnt hunt at all. Very interesting....

I got as truck is multi colored, I am gonna advertise it as "rare" and ask 4 times its worth. Wish me luck

markj

There are some mighty fine people here on this board. Most will offer help if asked, some will help anyways :) how do you handle those men spitting out those cheap lines while you are NOT interested, and you are busy?" Well when any man tries this with me, I look him in the eye and tell him, "There ...

markj

So there is only one true way to train? I will gladly sit at the feet of the master....

markj

If it is metal it will rust, I got some high dollar kennels from baumguards but the part where them dogs pee is rusted off now, only been 6 years. Next time Iwill put the kennel up on cement blocks to lift it up.

Hows things going for you?

markj

My cousins boy married a gal from canada, she is nice and real purty and all that. She askd me how to get her lab to stop digging in her garden, so I said put a shock collar on the dog, wait for it to dig thenzap the heck out of that dog. Her eyes got real big and she said she would zap me :) before...

Saw a comercial on tv, a guy was doing the scam in person

at the end it said in person this doesnt work, but on line......

There were times when Iwished my dogs had a vest with a chest protector, right after they run into that barbed wire fence and tore a huge rip in their hide. Seems almost every shorthair I have owned has done this. I tried to use a vest, but they tear them off when put back in the dog box. The bright...
