the "blue" coat is actually a recessive gene just like the long haired gene. Not according to VetGen who will do a genetic marker test for the color genes your dog carries. From their color page, regarding the dilution gene "The D locus is the primary locus associated with diluted pigment, which re...

I understand that historically the weimeraner breed did not contain the black color gene. It was selectively bred out. Silver is the dilute of brown and Blue is the dilute of Black. Somewhere the black color gene was introduced in the dogs to get the Blue color. From the AKC standard "A distinctly b...

I had a Brit one time that I didn't like. It was a bonehead to train. My friend had a GSP neither he nor I liked. It was a bonehead to train. I know a fellow with a Weimeraner I don't like. Doesn't play nice with others and won't hunt hard. I know a fellow with GWP's I don't like. Don't play nice wi...

I would suggest that if the trainer has a number of dogs he is working and he is seeing that this one dog is having a problem with overheating to the extent he has singled out it is a problem, then the dog has a problem. If the trainer had a problem he would have a kennel full of overheating dogs. A...

ezzy, I understand you are trying to "clean up" a percieved problem, but you are attacking the wrong places IMO. "Do that enough times, train in 90's temperatures, will have a dead dog." Is a definitive statement that is WRONG. Gonehuntin' provides clear cut evidence that the statement is indeed wro...

Re: Update on intro to birds for the eight month old gsp
also he needs a little more work steadying to flush any suggestions not involveing a shock collar would be nice My apologies ezzy for the poor wording. The most common practice is to condition while chasing. I was alluding to your post. The quote above indicates to me that although the dog is chasi...

Whoa has nothing to do with the dog prior to the flushing effort. It's use is to control the dog when the bird takes flight. As I said earlier, if you desire to continue on the path you are on, which is fine by me, you should do your gun conditioning over the food bowl in the yard and only transfer ...

Bashed - just what is that anyway. Is that when you post something that is untrue and you are corrected for it? Is that when someone explains what you are doing could potentially head you for disaster? Is that when someone asks a question they did not want to hear the answer to? Is it when someone g...

Gun conditioning at the gun range. Worst thing to do - Worked for me. The head to head. Worst to do is often the advice given by folks who have trained numerous dogs either as amateurs or professionals. Worked for me is usually given as advice from the owner of one or two dogs. Why do we keep hearin...

You must have missed my question. Which boards have been killed? Are there more posts where die hard trialers have tried to force their agenda on poor unsuspecting folks, or just the one I posted to? I haven't seen the pandemic on here, but then sometimes it doesn't take much to trigger some folks. ...

Are you just looking for an arguement windyhills? Do you have a personal agenda? The fellow posted that his 8 month old dog is on its 4th bird ever. That is FOUR. In with that post he included that the dog was having trouble with being steady till flush. I don't know what philosophy you are ascribin...

If the dog is found standing after and I did not see the dog moving before the Huns flushed, I will give the benefit to the dog and assume he was standing prior. When hunting and a dog fails to return from a piece of cover or over a knoll, always have a shell in the chamber before you go looking for...

A dog from great lines won't turn out so well if you don't bring it up properly. That is certainly true. But what you forgot to mention is that a pup with poor breeding will not turn out so well no matter what you do with it. Buy the best breeding you can find for what you want to do with the dog. T...

I would have thought this would be rather obvious, but it makes no difference how many times a day you feed your dog as far as weight gain is concerned, it is how much you feed your dog. DO NOT GET YOUR DOG OVERWEIGHT. 8 week pups do quite fine on 2x a day. I never switch the dogs off that myself, b...
