I like the way you think Sharon!

Welcome, I'm also a Grundy County Green Hiller!

We had a boxer years ago that ate my daughters Easter basket while we were at church, grass, foil and all! He was'nt solid for a week but lived thru it. Oh and our yard looked very colorful with the bits of foil and colored grass!

Onk

Right you are Sharon, but how many people do you suppose he ever calls? Just wondering!

Onk

You are right Casey, there is not a lot of change back these days! I'm still trying to convince a friend of mine that quality over quantity of dog food = savings. He buys the cheapest dog food he can find and feeds a coffee can full each time he feeds each of his dogs. Most quality feeds, insert fav...

TOOOO much info Oak!

Onk

Thanks Mike, I think Rob sold me a solid dog! Dogs are a lot like kids or grand kids, I find myself bragging about them to people who prob. don't really care! Dif. is I have noticed that the dog never ask for money or talks back...just saying!

Onk

I agree!

Onk

Very true, well said ezzy! While out and about the dog and I both prefer water, so there is not the need to carry spirits of any kind!

Onk

I'm sure this person will see this post and will not respond. I think of him like a drive by PM'r, must make him feel bigger and better, so as long as he feels good about himself its all good. Really did not know that dog food was such a burr under some people's saddle....just glad I did'nt mention ...

I made the switch on dog foods from Doc's Choice to currant food because of the availability of 50 lb bags. Dogs did great on the Doc's and will still feed it to the little house rat my wife has inherited, a small bag is easily found at the store. Your head can explode from researching dog food, eac...

Same here, only replace the golf with bass fishing! I feel the same, wish it was Fall. I do love golf so I keep busy with that in the summer. I'm hoping to get our mutts alternative registration completed so I can run in a few trials next year, think it would be good fun. I wish fall was longer as i...

Dropped my pup off at the trainers wed. night for some help getting the pup to learn a few things I was not clear about teaching him. Trainer said he would call me if he found the pup did not have the talent or smarts to learn, that there was not any sense in wasting his time and my money if the dog...

EZZY carrying a flask in a hunting vest never hurt anyone.....its the use of the flask during hunting that I think is of concern!

Onk

ultra, thanks for the info I looked up the AKC sight and hunt test rule book. It clears up a lot of guestions. Are the hunt test titles listed on dogs pedigrees or only field trial titles? I see some JH titles after the names in some of my dogs pedigree but a lot of other titles before the names in ...

As a auto repair shop owner I would advise staying away from the Patriot! We have not worked on a lot of them as yet, but we have customer with them that are not happy at all with their purchase. Main complaints we hear from them are, road noise and bad ride. Take it for what its worth, this is not ...

Onk

HDAU congrats on the pup! What kind are you getting?

Onk

yeah Ruth I want to learn about the things like Hunt Testing, don't know anything about it really. I have read some on here but don't fully understand it. Just know Field Trial won't be my thing if it involves horses, not a horse guy at all! Whatever Dexter and I get into will have to involve walkin...

Onk

As my pup Dexter gets closer and closer to becoming a hunting partner I find myself almost wishing away the summer so we can get to the hunting! It is almost like being a kid trying to sleep on Christmas Eve but laying there waiting for morning! Who knew you could be this old and enjoy a dog so much...

Onk

true Britts, I guess it all depends on the ole fence and what side your standing on!

Onk

I guess i'm just too country because until they invent a beer flask my beverage will stay iced down in a cooler in the truck! Not to be touched until after the hunt and drive are over, of course!

Onk

Not sure I could handle two at once.....congrats!

Onk

Alright Lucy....congrats brad!

Here it is...donate or not its still interesting!

It was an eye opening 4 days Ruth. I am failing at getting the name of the location (should have wrote it down when I was there), that is taking in misplaced, homeless and injured dogs after the storm. I promise I will find it, thought knowing some of the dog lovers on here they might want to contri...

Just got home from spending 4 days in Joplin Mo.....I will have a Facebook page with pictures and how to donate to a couple places, one group and one man, if you feel the need and want to know where exactly your donation goes. We worked thru the Duquesne Mo. PD while we were there and I hope to have...

Onk

Well I guess an update is needed on this post....while I love the Doc's Choice food and the way my dog has done on it, I find I now have to switch dog foods because the place I spoke of earlier in this post now seems unwilling to deliver 5 to 10 bags of the food at a time. In fact they seem unwillin...

At 46 I still am able to grow a full head of hair, some is now what you might call a lighter color now, but I elect to shave it down. The whole hair thing is over rated!

Onk

Congrats! Sounds like a fun day, still waiting to go watch my first trial to see what it is all about!

Onk

My Britt is 4 months old now and has not been in contact with a bird yet. I hold out hope that he will run across one or two birds on one of our trips to the farm so that I can see his reaction. Maybe I will be able to make it to the next one. Pup starts training in June, can't wait!

Onk

Looked like a lot of fun..wish I could have gone, lord knows I could use the help learning a thing or two! What was the youngest dogs age there, any pups?

Onk

Ok so I am what you would call a computer idiot. Every time I try loading pics. from my computer to my avatar it says it is too many pixels. I have tried both leaving the size blank and changing pixel numbers lower than the max size. While I'm at it how do I get my dog's perfect pedigree from their ...

Trek I like the way you think, shoot high and settle lower ( with what you wanted from the start )!

Got the cookie sheet ready to try at tonights feeding so we'll see how that goes. These King Wobbler things, how much food do they hold?

Onk

I tink Dave might have been Moses in another life time!!! I might be making my wife out to be a tad bit worse than she really is. I have had many dogs and hobbies thru our 26 yrs together, but it never hurts to ask for the advice of others! Well that and you never really know when you are just one d...

Do you have any idea what that would cost me??????????????? If i'm going to have to go thru pain and suffering eather way I might as well keep the wife, my money, my house and my bass boat!

Onk

Shags that is only an issue with my wife not me! I've got a feeling I shall have 1 or 2 more dogs in the future. 2 for now and maybe another on down the road. I need to get the first one trained before I get another, but with my wife you have to start working on her early!

Onk

Enjoying my Brittany pup so much I brought up the idea to the wife about maybe getting a second one here in a few month's.....anyone want to guess here reaction? If you have any idea's on winning over a wife in the catagorie of "honey can I get another dog", your help would be appreciated! I think t...

Hope you all have better clipping skills than my daughter has, she clipped her house dog the other day and when here daughter got home, age 2 1/2, she said " mommy look, Jack has his hair on croocked"! Good luck!

Onk

Sounds like cutting back on the food is the answer.....or just use a clothespin on your nose, whatever works!

Onk

Took my Brittany pup to my farm again to run and he ran across his first animals not of the dog species. Two Canada Geese and one very intimidating Bull Frog. He found the Geese to be intriguing and the Bull Frog very ninja like. Fun night that made for some good pictures! I even snuck over the pond...

Onk

I have a pointer pup the same age, and my expectations are far below yours for a dog this young. Right now, all of my "training" consists of taking the dog for walks and trying to keep him out in front of me. I work on "come" a little bit every day, and I'll toss a dummy for him in my garage, then ...

Onk

Update: Time to try KNines idea of the cookie sheet....slow down bowl worked on my pup for all of two days until he mastered how to still scarf his food out of it. On the bright side of things, he has learned the kennel command faster than any dog I have ever owned because of his extreme drive for f...

Holly Cow Dave....Bear?????????? Thinkn I'd hunt somewhere else!

Onk

Hey Rob the pup is coming along great....growing like a weed and eating like a bear!

Onk

Any with feather and don't taste like liver!

Onk

I know when I see a burr being stuck under somebodies saddle!

But still a pretty good looking dog!

Onk

Sorry, don't know why the picture came out so darn big!

Onk

Thanks for all the advice and idea's. Before I read any of them I stopped by our local farm and home store and found this bowl. We'll give it a try and see if he slows down. Had a EP that ate fast but would get full, I put a rock in his food bowl he had to eat around. Tried with this Brit, he just r...

My 3 1/2 month old Brittany can't seem to get enough to eat! I feed him 3 times a day about 1 1/2 to 2 cups per feeding. He scarfs down his food and is then on the hunt for more. I've tried increasing the amounts and I've tried the let him eat as much as he wants twice a day for ten minutes thing, b...
