That's B U L L , what killing a dog with a hammer is only a $500.00 slap On the wrist?

Well crossing a pointer with a GSP, you can still have disease's. I'm not saying it's just looks by all means, but when it's said that they were crossed in books, you tend to believe.

Ahumphers91a

True. I have fed O'l Roy for 6 years! Obviously add hot water in the cold winter with a little scraps here and there. Oh and post above your Ezzy, It's very dry here in Utah not humid at all. But I get the Jist, not good to keep switching.

Ahumphers91a

Well I was originally feeding crappy O'l Roy. Switched to Purina Dog Chow, I just want them to be eating decent feed. Plus I am going to start some mild running up the Oquirr Mountains here soon.

Ahumphers91a

Munster, yes I have heard they are great retriever's just have never hunted over one

Ahumphers91a

Thats the way I see it. They charge an arm and a leg it seems to me. I have come across a couple vets in my area that are actually really good, and don't charge "overkill"

Ahumphers91a

Notice Clowns Ear Set as well. I'm not saying, but I will say just about every GSP has some EP dosing.

Ahumphers91a

Either another Lab, a GSP or a GWP. All will retrieve any bird to hand unbelievably. You wont be disappointed.

Ahumphers91a

Dixieland's Rusty does NOT. That's my point, but you cannot deny the EP influence.

Ahumphers91a

So I was at my local IFA, and I came across a feed that I am interested in for my dog's. It's Enhance Hunter's Edge Basic's, its a 24-18 and it was 32 bucks for a 42lb bag. http://www.enhance3022.com/products#in-season

Thoughts??

Ahumphers91a

Well I for one only need Ivomec or any other brand like it for my own Dog, where I have not to worry about shipping. I don't like being taken by vet's making you pay for prescriptions for things like heart worm. Just my thought.

Ahumphers91a

Yeah, these utah'ns have have fireworks the fourth and twenty fourth

Ahumphers91a

Not saying the dogs were scared, I think he thought I was hunting without him and he popped those cheap latches on the chainlink kennels.I usually wrap a chain around it so he can't because he has done it many times in the past, but I had forgotten and he got into his sons kennel lastnight. I heard ...

Ahumphers91a

Man I gotta stop coming into this post.....

I tear up everytime. Thanks again everyone, it makes it a little easier.

Ahumphers91a

Seems to me there trials are for people that are mostly weekend hunters, whats wrong with that? No weekend hunter cares if his dog breaks after flush, they care about the dog finding the bird, pointing (or flushing) and retrieving back to him. And what weekend hunter hasn't run with a gun? REALLY, w...

Ahumphers91a

I was thinking back, my sister had a Lab/Chow mix (it looked identical to a flat coated retriever) that I use to pheasant hunt with. she was actually really good at flushing close to me instead of running off and spooking all the birds

Ahumphers91a

yes, let us know! I am interested in getting a pair or two.

I'm with the guys on this one, teaching sit is bad. I have taught sit my whole life and have never had a dog sit in the field, but I am not teaching it anymore. It's kinda a lost cause. stick with heel, whoa, etc. if you duck hunt sit is a good thing for your dog to know. :D True LOL :mrgreen: or u...

If I were the dog owner I beat the peace of "bleep" who beat my dog...excuse the language, breaks my heart!!!

Ahumphers91a

Ivomec 1% solution - 1/10 cc per 10 lbs. of dog weight

Ahumphers91a

I have heard Ivomec is good as well.

Ahumphers91a

God I hate early fireworks...LOL, So my male just popped his kennel door because I forgot to put the lock on it, and got in with his son. Yes, they had an arguement... :mrgreen: No injuries. But these "bleep" people are doing fireworks at 10:30pm (past noise curfew). My male heard the noise and want...

Ahumphers91a

I only started the thread because when I was at the vet, putting my female to sleep, I saw a Britt that was shaved for the summer. It looked like a mini EP with the orange patches.

Ahumphers91a

I bet it was probably better when there were actual wild birds to hunt LOL. We need Ken's opinion on this.... LOL Ken :mrgreen: :mrgreen: As far a dogs go I've hunted with some I thought were unbelieveable and Now I don't think they were that great. The one factor was in the 70's here in Iowa it di...

Ahumphers91a

I see.

Ahumphers91a

Exactly why I have been a bit scared to enter trials. I have had some bad experiences with some people here in Utah (won't name names) but I'm starting regardless, they can kiss my arss LOL

Ahumphers91a

really, how many dogs and the same size as above? I have two, and the dog from ken is staying inside w/me

Ahumphers91a

Pretty Ugly LOL, it's funny how some dog breeds just faded away. That's why we all need top aim for perfection with our particular breeds.

Ahumphers91a

LOL, I have always wondered because they use to be called Brittany Spaniel's.... couldn't have been a spaniel if they pointed right?? My uncle had a springer that learned to point from my dad's lab/pointer cross as a pup.

Ahumphers91a

What are Brit's originated from?

Ahumphers91a

I was waiting for my recently deceased Molly to be ready to come home as a puppy, never hunter behind any pointing dog ever. We set off into a field with my Molly's Dad, about 20 steps into the field his owner says, "See that?" I look up and Doc was locked up, it was so beautiful, right then and the...

Ahumphers91a

Where to buy and a good brand to use of the 7 in 1 shots for my two adult male GSP's? I'm doing it myself, just been a long time since

Ahumphers91a

They're awesome don't get me wrong, but for the price of a 8 x 10 or 8 x 8 I can get either a k9 kennel for 7-800, or a chainlink for about 500.

Ahumphers91a

Nice, but pricey for my blood right now.

Ahumphers91a

It's a live animal, puppy or not. They at least deserve a shot instead of a dunk people. :roll:

Ahumphers91a

Thanks, she was a great dog. wasn't a FC by all means (didn't have the huge run) but she had one of the best noses I have ever seen! And one mean locking point!! She was my first full bred bird dog, and she influenced me in so many ways to be a GSP man. I hunted behind her and her dad, nothing bette...

Ahumphers91a

Ok ladies and gentlemen, I am going to be building a new kennel. I currently have 2 dog's (had 3) and my runs are 4' wide x 10' long. I was going to go with the K9 Kennels, but I was thinking, the regular chainlink runs I have right now lasted 7 years...Is it worth a K9 Kennel or should I go with an...

Ahumphers91a

Oh, I know. I meant that he was going to start training that way, then decided not to trial.

Ahumphers91a

yeah. from a post I read when he first started training was he was going to trial, then decided not to so that's why the dog isn't steady to wing and shot.

Ahumphers91a

from the Youtube video, looks to be started pretty well.

Ahumphers91a

Could be? I have no idea. I saw that he needed help, so i figured I would do a +1 for the guy. hopefully someone takes the dog off his hands

Ahumphers91a

This is a tough one. I don't know if it's the breed or the dog itself that makes a favorite. I curently have 4 GSP's, 2 setters, 1 Large Munsterlander, and a new EP puppy. All of them endear themselves to me for different reasons. How do you like the Munsterlander? how do they hunt in comparison to...

Ahumphers91a

How many times are we going to talk about this subject? does the dog hunt? is it registerable? does it run big (or small) enough? does it point? does it retrieve? C'Mon Man :roll:

Ahumphers91a

I dont get the "when there was a lot of wild birds". I hunt ruffies and pheasants, a very huntable population of both, certainly not so few it will effect how "good" my birddog will get?? Anyways. As far as the younger crowd not getting into the sport, IMO, its not a very inviting sport at times, I...

Ahumphers91a

where's the like button

I hate Utah, "bleep" desert. I wish I could go back to California and hunt the rice and corn, where there are actual wild pheasants LOL, I hate hunting wild chukar

I'm no expert on britt's, he calls it a chocolate britt??? LOL, who knows...anyone but me

Ahumphers91a

Just trying to get the word spread for the guy. I don't know the guy, but if he needs the dog moved quick, i'm sure a post here wouldn't help.
