A shot in the dark for sure, but you migh check with any of the places that repair cell phone screens and such. Or, call up collar clinic or even Garmin and see if you can buy a screen, if you haven't done so already. If you get one, dig out your screwdriver and go to town. I know it stinks, but I'd...

I use and am extremely pleased with Worm Protector 2x - Butterscotch flavored for palatability... Yum!

I have always given 5 way shots to young puppies and then give the 7 way shot when they are older than 10 weeks. I am with those who cautioned you about buying vaccines from anywhere but a vet or veterinary supply. I wouldn't take the chance myself.

Have seen a dew claw get ripped pretty bad while in the field, far more painful and took longer to heal than the $85 surgery to have them removed at 6 mos. Will always have dew claws removed. +1 I have actually had a dog (my first, heinz 57 birddog) who didn't have her dew claws removed when I got ...

I don't currently use anything, but next year I will probably start my brood gyp on some. Just as a preventative. I'm a believer in "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" I have however sold alot of the Glucosamine 2x with Chondroitin by Retreive Health. There was a member of this forum t...

If I were you, i would look up Adrian Jackson out of Poker Straight Kennels in Amarillo, Texas. He does his own dogs and field trials them. I am pretty sure that he trains gun dogs for clients also. He does alot of work for the Boys Ranch so sometimes he can be hard to get in touch with. Just leave...

I must admit, I don't sell many of the Avery trainers. I personally own and highly regard the Dokken DFT as the best retriever trainer on the market, Bar none.

Yep. They don't get "Presents" per say, but they have stockings full of treats. Rawhide bones, Snausage type treats, Pig Snouts, Dried Cow Esophagus, etc... Depends what kind of "Goodies" the feed store is pedeling at the time.

Diamond High Energy for my adult dogs, and PMI exclusive when we have puppies. I really like the Red Flannel, but it is pretty pricey compared to the Diamond around here.

If you want to make yourself sick, go in and have them give your dogs the vaccinations and pay your bill. Then next time go in and ask to buy the vaccinations to give them yourself. Go home, take out both receipts and compare the two. It'll churn your stomach to know how much they charged you to dra...

Really wanted to get an idea of what kind of reviews it got from someone who's used it and what the thoughts were. Also how it compared to the TT as far as ease of use. Saw the Edge listed on one site and thought they had the price wrong for a 4 dog set up so emailed to verify. Should have ordered ...

Before you ask, I have looked online at gds and lion country. I am looking for a tritronics holster I saw being worn by a gentleman at the National PF Birddog Classic last Saturday (which was AWESOME by the way). It was an orange shell for a tritronics transmitter. It wasn't the cheesy fabric ones ...

Surely never hurts to know how to do it yourself, regardless of the number of dogs or the economy. I have saved myself THOUSANDS over the years knowing what to do. Knowledge is power. :wink: +1 I don't hesitate to call the vet when I need to though. I have an outstanding vet. Cute little country ga...

Larry Moon's dog Elhew Fibber Mcgee whom was willed to him by the late Bob Wehle, passed away yesterday. There is a nice article on the AF website.

Godspeed, Fibber.

I've always had 12 gauges. I've had all different makes and models but everyone knows I am Team Benelli all the way. My staple for hunting has and always will be a 12. However, I recently added my 28 to the cabinet. I love it. You'll never get tired carrying around a 4.9 pound shotgun. :wink: In sum...

I have a '94 F250 4X4 with a new Cannonball flatbed that I've had since I purchased it in 2000. "Whitey" has, and continues to still be a great truck. He's hauled humans and hounds to countless hunts. I recently bought my new pickup (2007 F150 King Ranch SuperCrew) and I love it. However, the only d...

Best time for a second dog? How about yesterday! Pull the trigger.

WOW!!! Tough to understand how so much can be written about a seemingly unimportant issue. Every breeder deserves the right to name his/her pups. Why changing the name would be so important is beyond my comprehension. If a buyer has a problem with that, I would say the motives of the buyer should c...

Cull and move it down the road... I personally don't have the patience or time to tiptoe along with a pup/dog like that. It doesn't mean that in 2-3 years that dog won't be a good dog, because it might. For me, Its just going to have to be on someone elses dime and time. What may not work out for yo...

I owned & trained Labs long before I started raising pointers... Upland hunting was only something we did on "Bluebird" days when it was too nice to H2Ofowl hunt. Since my brother went into the military a few years back and had to go to Iraq, and now Afghanistan, we don't do it much anymore. However...

I have no desire to name an entire litter, but do ask people to use my name in front of what they want to use as their name. I figure after breeding for 30 years I deserve that. Never had any issue with anyone not complying. I agree with Brenda. I have a hard enough time coming up with names for th...

I like having two chokes better than having three shots. I am a big fan of SKB sxs's and o/u's. That being said I do have a Benelli Ultralight that I use on rainy days. It is a good reliable gun that is pretty much weather proof. For an automatic, It's not too ugly. I am a fan of SKB's too. The pic...

I pay absolutely NO attention to the temp. Many times its made a liar of itself.

I have been using those doors for only a couple years and I don't really like them. If they are the best out there I would use them again, but I would like to find something else.

Some folks can find an issue with anything. I have dog now that is registered under the breeders kennel name, I could care less he did the work and bred the litter.

3 of my birddogs have the entire fenced backyard accessible to them 24/7. They have a dog door in the mudroom that leads out to the backyard. My hounds run and hunt just fine.... If only I did at the moment.... I just had knee surgery last Wednesday.

Thanks for the kind words, folks. Every breeder puts out good dogs... just ask them. :lol: But when you see the "proof in the pudding" and happy customers, I feel estatic.

Sportdogs new lines have the vibration and tone features along with stimulation. The SD-1225, 1825 and new Houndhunter 2525 all have it.
