I haven't heard that. We've had soldiers sent to us through the program. But you never know what new board members can do to an organization! I actually think that our hunt is older than their organization. Btw one of our hunters is on the WWP commercial with Trace Adkins. I saw it for the first tim...

He definitely doesn't have to be collar conditioned for avoidance training. I've done this with several of my pups (about 5 mos) to break them of cat drive. Teaching him to not chase deer can save his life. I have a friend in NC whose dog chased a deer and she lost her to hunters who shot her and th...

That's wonderful!! My local LowCountry SCI chapter recently hosted our 7th Annual Wounded Warrior Hunt. I had the pleasure of eating lunch and speaking with the soldier mentioned in this blog along with several others who came from the VA Hospital in Augusta, GA. My soldier that I hunted with was al...

Equal parts vinegar and alcohol. No need to add water (my vet told me this)

As Bosco said for actual yeasty ears use the "Blue Power" mixture.

CherrystoneWeims

Repeat the worming in two weeks.

You can also use a worming dosage of ivermectin.

If you want a good V check out Durite kennel. Carrie and Mike have some mighty fine dogs. I've watched several generations run.

If you would like a grey version you could look into a Weimaraner.

Swimming is fantastic for rehab. Do you have any friend's with either an indoor pool, heated pool, or hot tub?

CherrystoneWeims

Not to hijack, but since you're already on the topic of HT judge questions, I have another question for AKC HT judges out there: I was told by another guy running his dog in the last MH test I ran that he was told he couldn't use a break-open shotgun to carry - it had to be a semi-auto. Now what co...

Section 7 page 16 of the AKC pointing breeds hunt test regulations states that only blank pistols can be used in JH tests. http://www.akc.org/pdfs/rulebooks/RHTPNT.pdf The AKC rep, Gary Sadler, was also asked about this and he stated the same rule. The Weimaraner handler stated to others that the pr...

CherrystoneWeims

Easy, PM sent to you. There's more to this.

Paul, I believe the handler made a comment to you as to why he carries the shotgun?

CherrystoneWeims

I wouldn't say that it looks like ectropion. To me it looks like a slight third eyelid eversion. I've seen this in some Weims and in fact know of one who had surgery and was shown then bred :roll: Eye issues are a pet peeve of mine. I'm seeing an increase in juvenile cataracts and third eyelid/tear ...

CherrystoneWeims

AKC regulations clearly PROHIBIT the handler carrying anything but a blank pistol in any level but MH. I've been told the story of this and in my opinion the shotgun was used as a training tool which is also prohibited. AKC also prohibits the usage of anything but a break gun (unless it is a cut out...

I would think it would be just as easy to carry a needle, tubing, and a bag of fluids as an enema kit. much easier to give too.....

Congratulations!!

CherrystoneWeims

Very nice!

CherrystoneWeims

Congratulations JR, April, and Lincoln!!!

CherrystoneWeims

OK - I'll keep at 3 and see how it goes. I struggle to find the line between don't be to harsh on your dog as these WPG's are soft (as are setters, brittanys, etc.), yet enforce some rules and establishing my role as the "alpha" dog in her life vs the other way around. This WPG experience has been ...

CherrystoneWeims

Congratulations! Sound like you had a good weekend.

CherrystoneWeims

...good bourbon I believe in competition the dogs will either give the pro trainers and handlers cause for celebration or drive them to drink. We may as well be practical about it. LOL Funny that you mention that! One of the things I bring is FireFly Sweet Tea Vodka. I also used to give a bottle of...

Marie (Cherrystone La Reine de Pearl) first place Open Gun Dog 15 dog all breed stake at the German Shorthair Pointer Club of Minnesota!! I'm so proud of this little girl. She's handled by Greg Dixon and is co-owned by Judith Goldman and myself. Marie also has a 5 pt major toward her bench champions...

Congratulations!!

I've heard that a lot of people have had their dogs respond terribly to the vaccine, one ended up getting revived with an epiPEN. I have heard so many bad stories I don't think it is worth trying, but correct me if I'm wrong The biggest issue with the rattlesnake vaccine is a small site reaction. I...

CherrystoneWeims

Ray, I hope you never lose function in your legs! You have absolutely NO clue what it's like to not be able to walk or only have partial use of your legs. To make such a statement about urinals and ramps is rediculous. Perhaps you need to spend some time using a walker or a wheelchair to learn what ...

The solution for the states, and their ban on motorized vehicles on "their" property is simple....no events at all. See how easy that is?

Nope that doesn't work. That would be like telling a store or restaurant they can't allow wheelchairs or br required to have a ramp for said wheelchair.

CherrystoneWeims

I usually will bring them a gift whenever I see them. We have southern foods that are usually well received. They can't get them where they live.

CherrystoneWeims

Congrats!!!

We just killed a baby Timber Rattler outside of my kennel yard and whelping room door on Tues night. I've never had any issues with rattle snakes here but have heard that my neighbors have killed several in past years. Now I'm paranoid of more babies. This one just had a button for a rattle. http://...

Giardia doesn't show up in just a few hours. It takes a few days before the symptoms would show.

I'm betting just a lot of water intake and lots of exercise induced diarrhea.

CherrystoneWeims

I'm curious to know what kind of crate this dog is kept in. Plastic or wire?

CherrystoneWeims

I guess I have been lucky with the rabies vaccine non reactions over the years. No problem with seperating the vaccines out, just one more trip to the vet. How do you pick which vaccine to purchase on your own and administer? I'm lucky in several ways! I have a fellow Weim breeder friend who is a v...

CherrystoneWeims

Quarantined and Euthanized? I don't understand that one. Why quarantine if you are going to euthanize? Here I would have to quarantine my dog, be fined, and have the dog vaccinated after this.

But as I have said before I titer my dogs.

CherrystoneWeims

I would have to say I have never seen a rabies reaction such as this in 22 years, so I would rule that out. Anytime after 12 weeks of age is ok to give the rabies in my book, but I routinely give it at about 16 weeks to coincide with the last DHLPV vaccine. Why wait on rabies vaccination till 6 mon...

CherrystoneWeims

Yes it is necessary to complete the 3rd set of vaccines especially because of the things you plan on doing with your dog, also what i do is write down any questions or concerns i have and that way when you get to the vet you can get the answers you need otherwise its easy to forget when you are the...

Yep Read Ronald Schultz's research.

I literally have called all vets in my area and i have found 2 that do the 3 year rabies which my vet is just beginning to do this year but not even 1 that does the 3 year DHLPP, which by the way all of the vets i called have lepto in the vaccine too..still looking into this..im going to have my do...

CherrystoneWeims

she could have reacted to anything she recieved, not necessarily the rabies. allergic reactions usually present with the 2nd exposure to an antigen. like previous posters said, load her up on some benadryl beforehand next time. I know that you are a vet but I have to disagree. I wouldn't vaccinate ...

CherrystoneWeims

A few of things come to mind.

Poison, she ingested part of the stick which perforated her gut, or Von Willebrand disease. Weims are related to Doberman and have at times affected with Von Willebrand. It's a genetic clotting disorder. I'd be interested in seeing a pedigree on this dog if possible.

CherrystoneWeims

Jon,

You have a nice dog there! I had the pleasure of watching him run in AGD for his placement.

It was nice to finally put a face to Bruce after talking with him on the forum for several years. He's a nice guy!

CherrystoneWeims

I live just outside of Charleston.

I may be going to Mo's tomorrow. Depends on if Hubby has plans and if he minds if I go. I was just up that way last weekend watching the FT that Mo was mentioning.

CherrystoneWeims

I highly recommend that you take Mo up on his offer! He currently has one of my dogs at his place for some training.

I'm envious of you being so closeby to him. It takes me 3 hrs to get to his place.

CherrystoneWeims

Mine are always in crates when traveling Mine are also always crated when traveling. I've heard too many horror stories of accidents happening and the dog gets loose and gets hit by passing vehicles. Also as stated before the dog becomes like a missile in an accident. As far as riding in the back o...

Birddogz, One of my friends has a Chessie he uses for Grouse hunting, and the old boy points, he has no equal at retrieving anything that is shot, never will. However the Weimar and the Small Munsterlander have most all pointing dogs beat when it comes to instinctive retrieving, course these are Ve...

CherrystoneWeims

I will have to say that Weimaraners are VERY natural retrievers. So much so that at times it can interfere with their point. I haven't had issues with the point in my dogs but they have tremendous retrieve drive in them and because of this will retrieve from water at very young ages. My dogs love to...

CherrystoneWeims

You are just going to have to tough it out. Wear earplugs when you are trying to sleep. It should only last for a night or two. Some people on here don't agree with me when I say you want the crate to be a pleasant place for the dog. I feed my dogs in their crates right from the start as little pups...

CherrystoneWeims

Wow Birddogz, I guess you really are clueless. You clearly don't know that serious FT competitors run their dogs in the Dakotas, TX, MI, etc on wild birds in the off seasons for training purposes....... It's not all about the "killing" for people who truly are about the dogs. It's about watching the...

CherrystoneWeims

I think the Boykins are a hoot. I like to have one. I live in "Boykin Central". As you may know the breed originated here. I've thought that when I get too old for my harder running dogs I might get one. I've had some breeders offer me one on several occasions. I'm also an honorary member of a loca...

CherrystoneWeims

Joe, Yep you are right. There are still some private plantations here in the South where there are wild birds. LOTS of excellent management and massive amounts of money goes into maintaining them. Pre-release birds- They do go wild pretty quickly and some will integrate into wild coveys. We see some...

You think ND pheasants run, they have nothing on wild Georgia plantation quail.

The first field I took him to w...
