My wife says she likes "old spice" on me the best... :mrgreen: as for the dog... my Lab slept with his scented dummy, but I always made sure when I told him to "bring it here" or "give it to me" he did without any hesitation... My EP carries around one of my dirty socks... go figgure... as long as s...

Verry sorry. It's hard on the whole family to be sure... Condolances.

We used treats for house breaking our EP cuz we didn't get her until 8 months old... she figgured it out pretty quick and still slams on the breaks at the kitchen door when she comes in and will wait... sometimes she will tap her paw on the floor to remind us if we get distracted... I have rolled th...

My lil Pointer has a scar on the right side of her nose from a chipmonk when she was a puppy... she has hated them with a passion ever since! She'll tree a squirrel too... I have a friend who hunts squirrel with a Jack Russell that would rule the world if he weighed 300 lbs... fun dog to hunt with.....

Wisk a cup of honey into a cup of soy sauce... put it in a zip lock bag in the fridge for about 6-8 hours... grill and serve with wild rice...

don't overcook!

SHORTFAT

Now THAT is cool!..

ya just gotta love dogs that have as much fun as you do! Thanks for the pics! That is jsut awsome...

SHORTFAT

It made my brother-in law grumpy, but it never bothered my Lab a bit...

'course the Lab was always an easy going dog anyway...

SHORTFAT

Man, that would be great if I could! Can't do it this year 'cuz of work,

I have a very soft dog that does not respond well to electric stimulation. I am very gentle with her, and I use the vibrate/tone for recall. It works great and I'm not yelling or constantly blowing on a whistle... I can quietly and gently work my dog... great tool...

SHORTFAT

My dog hates the extreme cold, but if I get the gun and her collar out, she don't care what the temp is... She's an indoor dog tho', just like our Lab was, so I can't say, but I do think the breed matters. Some dogs are built for it and some aren't. My brother had a huskey that would burrow into the...

Now there's a happy ol' pup...

SHORTFAT

Well... have ya ever been watchin' tv and heard a "beep" when someone says a cuss word?.. Dog trainers need lots and lots of "beeps"...

I switch off and use my mother-in-laws when she visits... :mrgreen: The dog responds well to the softer bristles... :lol: I laughed as l watched a friend let his dog lick out the last of the ice cream from his bowl during the footbal game the other night... he forgot and about 15 mins later came bac...

I have an English Pointer... She was the runt and was given to me... Great pedigree but she just didn't make the cut or have the lines for trials... Always had Labs, but was looking for an upland pointing dog... I wanted an English Setter, but I wouldn't trade this crazy pup for anything now!.. :D A...

I brush my dogs teethabout every other week or so... now the real question is...

"Who all loves their dog enough to use their own toothbrush to do it with???

SHORTFAT

Shot... she's fine now.

Would be hard since Chocalate Labs do not have hands. Plus it is hard to blow your whistle if you have your mouth full of birds. Ezzy Ok... Now THAT'S funny... :lol: :lol: :lol: I was waiting for some one to... took all I had to resist myself, so I'm glad you did Ezzy... :mrgreen: Honestly, tho... ...

SHORTFAT

I got my dog thru the same problem but take your time! Lots and lots of birds and start with someone else firing from a distance. Only shoot around the dog when she really has a nose full of feathers! Work up slowly. Get a blank gun that shoots primers and work up to a .410 then to a 20 ga... Make y...

Well... below the post window there is a tab that says "upload attachment" Click on that and then hit the "browse" tab and it should take you to a box with your own computer files in it... open up your picture files and select the picture you want to post and click it. it should appear in the "save"...

SHORTFAT

the dogs pics... can anyone try to confirm if they have really been found?

SHORTFAT

Try making a copy of the pic and saving it in a file... right click "copy" then save it somewhere on your computer.

Interesting stuff! Looks like a nice breed. What is their disposition like? I like the broad chest on the one in the pictures on the link...

Cool!..

The dogs look like they are about to give each other the "high five" paws...

That is really cool! Never knew you had such opportunities over there! I really thought it was just for the very rich now... I'm glad to hear different! Don't hesitate to post more pics!.. and thanks for the thread! :D Oh... Q. What's the difference between a stoat and weasel? A. A Weasel is weasily...

SHORTFAT

Thank you Dave! Outstanding! Love to hear about different styles and methods of hunting!

Very Cool...

What time of year is your bird season? And how long does it last? What kind of shooting can you do when you are "vermin" hunting for an Estate? Very interesting stuff!

SHORTFAT

Nice pics!..

I'm with Brandon... Tell us more! My daughter spent some time in Ireland and England, and my wife and I would love to come there in a few years!.. Sure looks like you had a good time!

SHORTFAT

Crate training works... also, although it's a pain in the butt... take him outside every half hour or so... actually tell him to "pee" or "poop" and you can even take him to where in the yard you want him to go... the dog will get used to going outside and if you highly parise him and reward him whe...

SHORTFAT

Very Nice!

SHORTFAT

Glad to hear your friend got his dog back! I'd worry about coyotes around here... When my EP was only about 8 months I had her out and she ran smack into a fawn... That fawn kicked the crap outta her and she was yelpin like crazy! :lol: She's never even stopped to sniff a fresh track since! :lol: St...

The best and the worst still find a way into your heart. Sorry for your loss... What a world we would have if humans had the honesty and loyalty of dogs...

SHORTFAT

My 2 year old EP is the same way... for the most part she is starting to calm down in the house... but she will let you know when she wants to play too... :lol: still plenty of puppy in there and with a teenage son it doesn't take much to get the two of them cranked up... But it's all good and she k...

SHORTFAT

That's a shame... condolances.

I hate porkies.

SHORTFAT

Keep going out. That's all that counts. The birds will come. Talk to some farmers or Trialers that you know and they may have some info on where to find wild birds... just enjoy being in the fields with your dogs! Havn't killed a wild bird myself this year either... Been out every day this last week...

Merry Christmas all!!!

SHORTFAT

Nice! Congratulations and enjoy every second of it! It will go by quickly!

SHORTFAT

Why not narrow down your selection and then let the wife choose? If she is that good with the house training and basics why not let her have some input? After all you are just going to look at a litter, right? Perhaps you have a friend that is looking for your input on a particular litter. Always m...

SHORTFAT

I think you have a point but I also think you have a problem if you need to whoa your dog to hold birds. I guess it's kind of like the age old question is it a broke dog or started dog? Depends on the person. My self I try to let them go on there own as much as possible, I know what they should do ...

SHORTFAT

Maybe I'll ask my wife to get me TWO more dogs for Christmas!!! Then she'll be happy to have just one more!

NOT... :roll:

SHORTFAT

Very sad. You never forget the "Special" ones... Remember her fondly and have a very Merry Christmas!

SHORTFAT

I don't hunt ducks with her, but I bet I could... My son took this pic of her pointing a herd of ducks along the shorline...
She loves to go in the canoe...
