In a Gun Dog/Shooting Dog stake. Is it up to the handler to set the pace? If one handler is too fast or slow, can the other handler ask the judge what to do? Can this be considered interference by pushing your dog off course, or so far ahead that judges can't see your dog as often as needed? I belie...

Don't know who won,
but a first year broke female with call name Lexi, handled by Ray Dohse was runner up. She is now #6 GSPCA top ten Open Gun Dog list.

A good performance dog food is ideal.

It will have all the nutrients that she will need. No need to switch to a puppy food.

You do not want to add any calcium to her diet. Calcium will restrict her going into labor and having contractions. Once she has gone into labor, then calcium is good for her.

Have a GSP that I bred and was at trainers many years ago, and kennels were hit by tornado and tumbled all the kennels and dogs across nearby field. (no dogs were hurt very bad). She has ever since been deadly afraid of storms. No problem with gunfire or trialing. She won the NSDC 3 yrs ago and one ...

Was roading "Brandi" my then 2 yr old GSP 30 min then free run back to where we started. The turn around point was just past a 500yd long bridge that crossed a small shallow finger of area lake. About half way across the bridge while I was driving a couple hundred ft. behind her. She stopped then tu...

Looks like typical of Garmin. Take over a great company that is best at what they do and try to make money only, instead of making a great product.

The same as Garmin Astro and the Alpha. Not cross compatible either.

Will the 550 work with the EXP collars that Work with the 500, or is this a whole new set up?

From what I understand Each dog wore a specific top/bottom dog/am or pm brace, collar supplied by the championship and the Judges Marshall was in control of receiver till it was needed. Was not sure if receivers were turned on or off. Does anyone know for sure. I thought they were using the DC50. M...

The GSP folks need to put aside their differences and get behind one Hall of Fame, you would hope in the Bird Dog Museum. To do otherwise harms the legacy of the breed. Please put the dogs first. It is bad enough there is like 6 different National Champions, with All-Age and Gun Dog, then add Amate...

Was reading in the AF some great write up on the Nationals, and looking through the great photos online showing all the dogs with Garmin collars on. During the write ups they would tell when the handler could call for the tracker. I was curious if these receivers, which I assume the marshal was in c...

As the Great Delmar Smith is so famous for stating, "Never Set up your dog to fail"
Why do this with a pointing breed unless you are doing tricks to amuse your friends.

I know the window is small, that's one of the reason I was asking. I talked to a fertility vet about a product called Cabergoline, and she said she's had great results with it. Has anyone used it? We have used cabergoline successfully 3 times out fo 4 attempts. I know a few other people that have u...

I did ride in the rain during the morning braces. I watched Dean Crabbs run his dog Lonewolf' Hauchuca Jake during the rain on Sunday, and the dog did a great job despite the rain. Judges were very attentive to what the dogs were doing. Didn't get to watch Aussie this time, but I have watched her se...

There is a shot that is normally used for sows. It is only 20-30% effective at getting bitch to ovulation. There is Ovuplant that most reproductive vets suggest for dogs. It is about 75% effective at getting female to ovulate. Both will bring female into season, but not always get them to ovulate. F...

It was a Icy mess today at Booneville. Called off entire day and plan on starting at 1:30 Tues with brace 5 on course 1.

Lupoid dermatosis starts out as dandruff which gets worse and worse. It usually starts on the head and progresses to the entire body. You could run the gene test on it. I think there is a website called PennVet that does the testing. https://www.vet.upenn.edu/people/faculty-clinician-search/MARGRETC...
