I was showing my Breed Champion Lab one time and before we could stop it, he was humping the female judge! She looked at me, smiled and said, "I think he likes me."

As to the Humping dog.......such sounds like he hasn't learn the word NO or what ever you use for NO. We use the word AAACCCCKKKK!!!

I slid my E-Collar reciever on the DC-40 collar and ran the antenna over the top of the the E-collar reciever. Then I used two zip ties (using the collar buckle holes) to hold the antenna in place. Both units work just fine. Leaving Sunday to hunt chickens in Wyoming; which will be the long distance...

When it is necessary to chain up a dog (GSP) on a hunting trip; what type of collar should I use?

Thank you

reba

Your first stop should be early into the trip, about 30 minutes for a good potty stop. After that first stop the dogs should be ready to go for more hours than you. I swear my female won't poop for two days on the road; by the afternoon of the second day we are usually in camp she gets a gooooooood ...

reba

Yes I am looking for the newest

Will call Lion Country Supply first thing in the morning.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

reba

Do your dogs get the rattlesnake vaccination?

reba

Is anyone using the Garmin Astro DC30 GPS dog tracking system?

Looks like a great tool for use on big running dogs in the canyons, hills or dense cover.

Opinions please.

reba

Only feed once a day. Evenings are best. NO free feeding................................!!!!!!! What she doen't eat within 10 minutes pick it up and don't feed until the next evening. Never had a dog starve itself to death. If you feed her bacon because she will not eat the kibble, she will never ea...

reba

Does or has anyone used this supplement on their hard running hunting dogs?

Comments?

reba

I run one of each all the time.

You just need to control a hard charging flusher.

reba

Is there any harm in teaching a GSP to sit on command?

Thank you

reba

A good full size dog can scale a 6 foot wall. They don't jump or leap over they sort of run up and over it. So it would not be a problem for a coyote.

I've seen coyotes jump or leap over stock fence with barbed wire top without touching and part of the fence.

reba

The reason I asked is that when my GSP was 8 months old he snorted one up in Wyoming.

A couple of weeks later the side of his face was all swollen and needed surgury. I have a great vet and he got it out, but it cost me $450.

It's just so terrible when it happens and I don't know what to do.

reba

When a dog snorts up a foxtail is there anything to do except wait for the worse to happen?

Thank you.

reba

How many more years of hunting can I expect out of a healthy 7 year old male Brittany?

Thank you.

reba

I have this tent: "Cabela's Alaskan Guide® Model Tent" 4 man.

It is new, never used, that I would sell for $200 plus shipping.

Please let me know.

Best wishes.

reba

Don,

I started to answer your post several times and stopped not knowing what to say.

I feel your pain and you are doing the right thing.

Best wishes for 2010 and may your next dog be the best dog ever.

reba

I really don't care what anyone else feeds their dogs. If your dogs do well on sweet corn and oats, it’s fine with me. In the real world all dogs require a different amount of food. The type of food will also be part of the equation. I've had Labs of the same size require different amounts. One did ...

reba

Yes I did give a gross generalization of a good dog food. Yes, My 12 month old GSP is eating 4 heaping cups of dry dog food twice a day. Which may amount to a gross generalization of at least twelve 12 cups a day. He is in excellent health, very active and hunted lots and yes has a wasp waist and sh...

reba

26% protein and the first word in the ingredients starts with "Lam" or "Chicken" not “chicken meal” or “lam meal” etc.

Rice no corn.

Read the labels 99% of the stuff out there only has "meal" with no whole meat.

reba

First of all you must measure each and every feeding, that is the only way to control a dogs weight. Given that statement, my 12 month old male GSP that has been hunting hard the past 3 months and is eating 8 heaping cups of top quality dog food every day. Hunting hard means going several weeks at a...

reba

I don't see any problems with the kennel if it is big enough, warm, cool plenty of water etc. I would recommend a smooth concrete slab. The GPS puppy will need plenty of stuff to tear up. The GPS pupply will need 10 time the amount of space to run as your other two dogs!!! A GSP is a big running dog...

reba

My dogs run every day and have never asked; "where are the birds".

Heck what if you ran them and they were on birds and you didn't shoot them?

I think you are worrying about nothing. Go enjoy watching your dogs run.

reba

That they have been eating way to much.

reba

Ok I'll ask. How do the dogs loadup through the WingWorks set up? What are the size of those WingWorks doors? Found it: Door Measurements: Trim Perimeter 16" x 18 1/4" Frame Perimeter (cut size) 15" x 17 1/4" Actual Door Opening 13" x 15 3/8" Thank you.

reba

What time of day to you prefer to hunt quail?

Or what is the best time of day to hunt quail?

reba

My GSP at the age of 5 months came to live with us with the name Dutch. I kept the name Dutch; HOWEVER Dutch will come and respond to a number of different names such as Liver Lips, Sxxt Head, Numb Nuts, Helmet Head etc.:-)= I really don't believe your dog will ignore your kind voice even if you cal...

reba

This may work: Ignore him. Don't say anything not even "good doggy" Turn your back and walk away slowly. You may even want to sit down. I have one of the best retrieving dog on the planet and for the first year or so if I said anything or moved towards the bird she would just walk away. She doesn't ...

reba

Yes I must remember he is a very young dog.

I will just let him hunt

=

reba

I have an 11 month old GSP. Dutch is a big running dog and has already proven himself on sage chickens and chukar.

I need some advise on how to slow him down in the quail patch in tight cover.

Thank you.

reba

Well my best answer is that I have an Australian Cattle Dog that is the best flushing and retrieving dog I've ever own! I just took her hunting and the "light came on"! Reba is heck in a quail patch and the best chukar retriever on the planet. You are starting with a dog that has "hunting dog" from ...

reba

It appesars after asking some experts that this shotgun may be worth $2500; but not $4,000 unless it belonged to Roy Rogers which it didn't because all of his guns were used a lot!

reba

Can't say about a fair price; except that there are some really nice new shotguns out there that come with a full set of chokes.

reba

I owned an English Mastiff (Woof Man) that weighed 235 pounds and he was not fat! He also became a Breed Champion. Woof Man was born to a bitch my wife had. Although the Pick of the Litter was sold by the Stud Dog's owner the buyers did not pick the Pick of the Litter. (something I've seen many time...

reba

I my experence the deposit is non refundable if you back out for what ever reason.

In good faith the breeder should let you apply it to any new or up comming litters.

reba

Well I can tell you that when hunting chukar at least once a year we have Big Horn Sheep run right past us!

Straight up and down with lots of rocks.

I'd post pictures but don't know how.

reba

Benelli Vinci or Benelli M2.

Then your other gun will be the back up!

reba

Just got my Wing Works. I have loaded it up and I am wearing it on my daily hikes. I now have two dogs and need to carry a lot of water. The Wing Works strap vest is up to the task. I have been using a very good vest from Cabelas for a number of years; but the stress it put on my back and shoulders ...

reba

Good to hear Zio is doing well. I have had one of my dogs to Rattlesnake prevention school. I took her back the next year for a refresher course and she didn't want anything to do with it!!!!! Therefore she learned and remembered. HOWEVER the problem as I see it is when a dog is running and runs rig...

reba

Spray on scent eliminator as use by Bow Hunters. This is a trick used by my Outfitters wife after their camp "bear dog" decided to go a few rounds with a skunk. I was there and could not believe the dog came indoors the next day! Sorry I can't remember the brand name. I have used and would still use...

reba

The spray on stuff Bow Hunters use works really well:-)=

No joke!

reba

I live on the central coast of california and my Vet has told me that they get one dog rattle snake bit once a day from spring through late summer!!!!!!!!

The good news for Zio is that you got him to the Vet very early.

Carlson's

They have what you need and will get it to you ASAP!!

reba

Starting mid September Wyoming Goats, Sage Chickens and a few German Browns.

Last weeks of October Chukar in Oregon.

Last week of November and first 9 days of December Mearns in AZ.

Then directly to Raton, NM for elk.

Then back home to hunt quail until the end of January.

reba

If it is a Light 20 ga, with V-Rib and Modified Choke and is in perfect condition it maybe worth $1,200 in some parts. The V-Rib and Modified Choke does add to the value. Try to find and price just the barrel............... If I was and A-5 guy and I am and didn't have this shotgun as I have describ...

reba

They must have soild color dark noses. Avoid anything else.

reba

Thanks for recommending the WingWorks.

Just what I am looing for!

I also like their kennel doors.

Will call them soon.

reba

Gar-dog,

I have to admit I carry at least 2 boxes of shells when chukar hunting.

I currently have one generation before the "ultimate field dog system" I am familar with Mother strap vest. I had the first generation single strap; which was on the offside so no problem with gun mounting. This model did not sell and for me it does not have enough storge. I chukar hunt and a "chuka...
