I had a Lab who ripped one out about 14 years ago. I had the other one removed. It's so much easier on the dog to just remove them at 3 days of age.

I'm actually in the process of possibly getting a GWP.......

Geesh none of you guys is actually even considering a Weim??????

For sure it can be peanut butter..or any food for that matter..but if in your journal you notice the timing of pbutter and the seizures i think you might be on to something..a food allergy can definitley trigger a seizure ..when i worked at an animal hospital one of the first things we asked owners...

One thing you may want to try feeding is either raw or a crockpot diet. This way YOU control everything that your dog eats and you won't be having those extra additives which could be causing him problems.

I've seen this used with success by several of my friends with their dogs.

Definitely do a full thyroid panel. It can tell you a lot. Have the results sent to Jean Dodds if necessary.

CherrystoneWeims

Wow this sure has gone off track! Arlette said it right. One of the things I have learned also is that some of the best dog people have their start in horses. There's something about a good horse person that translates to dogs and they can understand body language. Now I do have to say that a good d...

Yeah it's a win win situation for me! Hubby and son will also take the pups from the whelping box and hold them at times while playing said video games! The only thing is that hubby will sometimes complain and say that he doesn't like the smell (which I can't understand since I change out the beddin...

So the dogs and the people hunt differently? Which type is FTing trying to imitate? Usually southern quail. That is where FTing started. If you take a look at how true "Southern" bird hunting is done you will find that it is very close to FT's. Mule wagons, handlers on horseback, Labs on the wagon ...

My pups would find a way to take the sock and rip it apart then eat it....... Yeah, but we all know Weims are like GSPs in that they aren't too smart!! :D (just kidding) :lol: Ahh but how many of the other breeds can open a refridgerator or a jar and eat what's in there? My whelping room is located...

All dogs can speak, but not all trainers can hear. Amen to this!! So many claim that they are great trainers but they really can't hear/see what the dog is trying to tell them. One of the best trainers that I know is deaf but can "hear" what the dogs are telling him. Also beware of the trainers who...

To the OP- There are a VERY few of us in my challenged breed (Weimaraners) who are crossing the lines and breeding show x field dogs together. It's not easy! It takes a lot of time and effort on my part to search out dogs who are suitable on both sides. So many of the field dogs have very poor confo...

I was going to suggest the Calendula! It's great stuff to reduce scar rise. I've been using it for years ever since a homeopathic nurse suggested it to me.

CherrystoneWeims

Sadly I had to put my foundation stud to sleep yesterday. Ethan got me started in the show world and also the field. He is the sire of over 25 show champions, master hunters, and senior hunters. His offspring are all over the world and continue his legacy.

RIP my beloved Ethan.

Crestonegsp » Wed Nov 17, 2010 6:11 pm The other reason other than the smooth ride is walking horses do not get muscle sore. This makes them ready to be ridden day after day without giving them a break that most other breeds would need. I know a guy who rides a quarter horse and he sure is sore aft...

CherrystoneWeims

Please, Please just let your pup be a pup for this season!! Let her point, chase and have fun. If you start her training too soon you may turn her off of birds. Weims take a little longer to mentally mature to take the training for steadying. There shouldn't be a rush to steady her. She's got her wh...

Tickets are now available for the Sterling Silver Bracelet. The bracelet is alternating pointing dog heads and pheasants. There are black diamonds in the eyes of the dogs. Ticket price is $5 each or $20 for a book of five. PM me if you are interested in buying tickets for this beautiful piece of jew...

CherrystoneWeims

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. Did you have any specimens sent for pathology? It would be interesting to find out if this was a cancer or a malformation. Sadly I'm seeing cancers in younger and younger dogs. Some theorize it's because in the last 20 yrs. more dogs are living in our homes where...

The Weimaraner National FT committee is holding a raffle to benefit our National Championship. Here are a few items that will be raffled. Tickets are limited so get your tickets soon!!

My suggestion is to take her to Dr. Hutchison who is also located in Ohio. He's probably one of the best repro vets in the country. He can fully evaluate her.

My suggestion is to get her out with another dog who is absolutely bird crazy. Get some competition going to pique her interest again. I had a bitch who ran into a wire horse fence as a young puppy while she was chasing a bird. She cut her face up and blinked birds after this. We took her out with h...

I recommend that you read Maurice Lindley's book Training With Mo. In it you will learn how to use birds to teach your dog to whoa.

I've tried feeding PP 30/20 many times to various Weims over the years and have never had luck keeping weight on the dogs. I end up going back to Eukanuba Premium Performance (30/20) every time. My one year old male, who is very active, gets 4 cups a day. He's still growing and young, growing, male ...

You were threatened with bodily harm. That in itself is reason enough to call the police.

I don't go to dog parks because 95% of the owners who take their dogs there are clueless about dog behavior.

CherrystoneWeims

What breeds of dog is this?

You suspect Pano? Does the dog have a fever? What signs does it have?

There are other joint diseases in growing pups that can cause the pain of Pano.

yme, if you see Greg Dixon's string give my girl, Marie, a pat for me! She's a sweetheart and I can't wait to see her in Dec!!

Wish I could go to watch Pilot run!

My kennel name has a lot of different reasons behind it!

My last name is Cherry
Weimaraners are the color of stones.
Cherrystone clams are one of my FAVORITE foods to eat! I have a lot of happy memories eating them as a kid both cooked and raw. And we used to dig them ourselves in RI and MA.

CherrystoneWeims

Good advice from Dave as always!

I also suggest going to watch a FT before entering one. Ride the dog wagon or rent a horse to ride in the gallery. You will learn a LOT by watching, listening, and asking questions.

Corn being the first ingredient means that it is also the highest amount of ingredient.

I have to say that Weims have a very high rate of natural retrievers in litters. When I think of "natural" retriever I think of a very young pup of only 6 weeks who when I have gotten it used to being on the placeboard with the first throw of the canvas dummy the pup goes nuts and runs right out to ...

CherrystoneWeims

Greg, where is she? Is she at one of the medical universities? Hopefully the Infectious Disease physician can figure something out.

I always worry about bird exposure and exposure to wild animal droppings.

CherrystoneWeims

First of all, the earlier poster was wrong about their status in AKC--Boykins only got full-fledged AKC recognition (if you can call the show ring "recognition") Jan. 1, so there's not been a whole lot of time to mismanage, misguide or distort the breed (yet). Secondly, the Boykin Spaniel Society, ...

CherrystoneWeims

There are currently no "show" boykins, bred with concern for looks alone. This alone is a really big deal that should be a major selling point of these dogs. That's actually quite untrue. There are several kennels that are now breeding for "show" boykins. They were accepted as being able to be show...

Its a rare breed on the east coast but I knew a bench type that was a very nice animal, really sweet but he bloated and passed away at around age 5 or 6. If you get one do your homework on that. Not rare at all. I see quite a few on the east coast and I've judged some very nice ones at hunt tests. ...

CherrystoneWeims

Aline, how about holding a seminar with Dr. Calderwood at your place? I would bring at least 4 dogs!

CherrystoneWeims

Good for you, Greg! I applaud anyone who is up front and willing to have their dogs genetically tested for diseases that can occur in various breeds. I also encourage everyone to help your breed club in any research that is ongoing in your breed. I recently submitted blood samples and radiographs fo...

INformation for the seminar please! I have a couple of dogs I need to get done.

I second the Boykin Spaniel!

Do you put your dogs under when doing the OFA xray? I hear horror stories and gripes about both just curious, what kind of "horror stories" have you heard regarding sedating the dogs?? And if your dog has a problem with sedation do you really want to use it in a breeding program! Every vet I've eve...

If this is a good boarding kennel it can also be a great way to get her well socialized with lots of other people and dogs.

CherrystoneWeims

I think that as long as the boarding kennel is a very good one it could be doable. PM me with the kennel and breeder's name. You have to be VERY careful as to where you get a Weim from. SA can be a big problem in the breed as you have already experienced. Also so many breeders don't breed for huntin...

GET HELMETS ON THOSE KIDS!!!!!!

That will do more than ANY kid safe horse!!! Take it from someone with years of riding experience. A helmet has saved me many times over the years from serious head injuries.

Doc, I'm so sorry to hear of you and your wife's loss. It never gets any easier. I lost one (actually a pup that I had sold to someone) two days before Christmas. She was just turning 5 yrs. and had liver cancer with mets. I met the owners at the emergency clinic when she was taken in. I thought she...

So, Daisy is an outside dog no if, ands, or buts about it. When I put her in her pen with her kennel and food and water and toys she freaks. She hates being in there without me in it with her. Last time she freaked and tried to crawl under the gate knowing good and well she wasnt fitting. Well, she...

Mav, I know exactly what you are talking about with having a special connection with a dog. I have the same connection with Pearl. She's almost 8 and I hope she has many more years ahead! I talk to the folks from Mile High rescue sometimes as I also do rescue. They are good folks. Yep I still have t...

It could be either one of the vaccines. I'm curious about the brand of Lyme vaccine that was given.

Ross, she looks very lovely. With her shorter back breeding her to Jack should lengthen the pups up some. He looks like he has a little more length of loin.

Looks more like Walker hound in there rather than setter.

The eyes have a "hound" look.
