Gun Dog Forum

Welcome new GDF members... Please note that for your first few posts after you've joined a Moderator will have to read and approve your posts as an aide in avoiding SPAM on this Board. So, if you post an ad in the TRADING POST section it might "sit" until a Moderator has done the "read and approve" ...

I've followed up with our Admin Rob and he's on the case. He says the Perfect Pedigrees site should be back shortly - Thanks, Rob!

Apparently there *were* t-shirts and bumper stickers "eons ago" - I'll pass this interest along to the Board owners and see if they're up for a revival movement

Can't say that I've every tried it, but a horse buddy gives their injured and/or sore horses willow branches and leaves to eat... found this link on NIH's site however:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20509453

I don't know of any stickers for GDF, however moderator Greg Jennings is the most likely person to be able to answer that question definitively... I'll pass the question along to him

Passed along the info about live chat as well!

I'll pass this along to our Admin to check this out - sorry for the problem, thanks for making a note here

There's some great info on issues relating to often-used sires (for inbreeding/outcrossing) and health-related problems in dogs, from the Institute of Canine Biology (see link, below) and also on their FB page https://www.facebook.com/theinstituteofcaninebiology?_fb_noscript=1 Lots of interesting sc...

Sent a note to our Admin with a 'heads up!' about that issue - hopefully he'll be on that right away - thanks for the posting!

It's late autumn, coming near winter in "down under" - we've seen pheasant (Ringneck) and quail (brown quail and California quail) on our property, sometimes visiting near our chickens (which are free-range)... these photos are from today, just next to our front deck - including the 'sentry' there w...

Some have asked what the icons/pics to the left and next to each topic mean - the following chart explains the meaning of most of those icons.

Please post horse for sale ads in the TRADING POST forum, this "HORSES" forum is for general horse-related discussions vs. advertisements - thanks!

Well... I have to brag on my friend Betsy Archer, because I know she'd not do this for herself. Betsy's dog, "Kip", an 8 year old black and white Pointer, won the Amateur Championship at the American Pointer Club, Inc. National Amateur Championship trial this past week in Wye Island MD!!! Kip has pr...

If you have hunting/bird dog related items to sell, check out the WTB (Want to Buy) and WTT (Want to Trade) postings in this forum - someone might already be looking for just what you have to offer! And for those of you who've posted WTB and WTT ads, when you find the item you're looking for please...

About 10 years ago we had the 17 year cicada variety - 10's of thousands of the critters buzzing around like flies. One of our Pointers (must be genetic <G>) also thought this was the best of all worlds, delicious snacks that actually flew right to her mouth! All went well for a few days UNTIL... th...

I was told many years ago that the Germans did not allow registration of black-to-black GSP breedings (thus producing only black puppies) as the concern was that the liver color would eventually be eliminated through continued black-to-black breedings.

OK - thanks for the 'heads up' - all should be good now!

One of my solid liver GSP decades ago was "The Shadow Nose" aka Brown Dog

RESCUES is now located under TRADING POST forum, next to the DOGS FOR SALE subforum

Two updates to the TRADING POST forum: The RESCUES subforum currently under GENERAL INFORMATION will be moved to the TRADING POST forum -- might make it easier for those looking for a dog to also check out possible rescues too. Per Admin's OK there will be a clean up of the TRADING POST forum ARCHIV...

Here's one that's been around for some years: Just a Dog From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did...

It's done - the MISC and HUNTING SUPPLIES subforums have been moved into the old DOG EQUIPMENT subforum - all are now 'reborn' as HUNTING/DOG RELATED STUFF FOR SALE. Check it out, buy something!

FWIW, items older than 6-7 months with no activity were also moved the ARCHIVE.

Hmmm... we're not changing any of the posting criteria for the TRADING POST, just combining the less-used HUNTING SUPPLIES and MISC subforums with the DOG EQUIPMENT subforum. That will add guns/hunting clothes and misc. items such as art prints, books/videos, etc. together with other dog-related ite...

As a Mod for the TRADING POST forum I've been monitoring the current subforums there for some time. Based on observation of listings over the past couple of years, and wanting to improve ease-of-use for those posting and searching ads, the plan is to consolidate the DOG EQUIPMENT, HUNTING SUPPLIES a...

FWIW, it seems more and more dogs these days are developing allergies to commonly used dog food ingredients such as chicken by-products which is an inexpensive protein, hence its frequent use in dog foods - even many of the "beef" and "lamb" feeds will also have chicken/chicken by-products in them a...

Take a look at the photo of my FT dog in my avatar - he's a nicely-balanced dog (moderate angles front/rear), though somewhat wide at the elbows. As the shoulder assembly is held on via muscle vs. skeleton some field-bred dogs do tend to 'go wide' when worked/muscled up at a young age. This dog's si...

A narrative paragraph might help determine if someone's joining to learn about gun dogs, hunting, training bird dogs, etc. A person could put "no" regarding hunting, but want to hunt or buy a bird dog in the future and be looking for advice. The other side of that coin is that anyone can lurk on thi...

When folks sign up, perhaps a question that requires a narrative response:

"What is your interest in joining this forum for and about gun dogs?"

If for no other reason, it would be entertaining reading <G>

Interesting idea about feedback for the TRADING POST subforums - however, you already can post commentary in the GENERAL CHAT section. We - the Mods here - are really working on keeping the TRADING POST ads as just that... ads! Many of you will have noticed that in the past two years there's been a ...

MSDA trial has been cancelled, per trial chairperson

This link is "forbidden" & WOT gives it a big red warning. Just thought you'd like to know. Hmmm... maybe WebOfTrust doesn't like the free hosting site 20m.com, or that the link is directly to the photo vs. the kennel webpage? Thanks for the info - I edited my earlier e-mail and removed that link j...

In Pointers, "orange" and "lemon" (the red/yellow gene represented by "e") can both have coat colors ranging from light sandy color all the way to a dark mahogany. The distinction between an orange and lemon genetically is that orange will have black pigmentation (nose, eyerims, lips, pads of feet) ...

JUST GOT WORD FROM CHAIRPERSON, JANUARY 31, THAT TRIAL HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Maryland Sporting Dog Association's 37th annual (American Field) field trial will be held Saturday Feb 2 and Sunday Feb 3 at the C&R Center/Norman G. Wilder Wildlife Area in Petersburg DE. Both walking and horseback stakes. P...

CC is a 'check cord' - long rope (generally 15' to 30') w. snap used for training/roading dogs

Two worthwhile books that describe the inheritance of coat colors and patterns in dogs are The Inheritance of Coat Color in Dogs by (the late) Clarence C. Little, and Inheritance in Dogs with Special Reference to the Hunting Breeds by (the late) Ojvind Winge. Both are excellent references on this to...

That was an interesting link w. photos! The puppies shown are lemon vs. orange (ie, they don't have black pigmentation) - which means that both parents carried the lemon gene... hmmmm... maybe both parents are related to each other as well?

My 'better half' states a belief that the German GSP registry decades ago didn't allow black-to-black GSP breeding, only black to liver, in order to ensure the breed didn't lose the liver gene (by avoiding the creation of a dominant black dog BBEE - which would only ever produce black no matter to w...

FWIW, in Pointers (aka, English Pointers), the "orange" color is recessive to black, and the "lemon" color is recessive to liver. Note that coat color is NOT how orange and lemon are determined - rather that's based on pigmentation of the skin, primarily visible on the nose, eyerims, lips and pads o...
