We went it was ok. Definetly do all inclusive. We went on a company trip so most of it was paid for. Can tell you be careful we had alot of people get sick. Seemed to have happened on the way hoe or last day there. My wife started getting sick on the flight back to St. Louis. By the time we got ther...

THAYER, Mo. (AP) -- A Missouri-based company is recalling three dry dog food products because of high levels of the fungus toxin aflatoxin. Advanced Animal Nutrition of Thayer, Mo., on Friday voluntarily recalled 50-pound bags each of Dog Power Adult Maintenance Formula 21-12, Dog Power Hunters Form...

I subscribe to Gundog magazine and Pointing Dog Journal. I didn't know of any mags. that were primarily flushers so I thought I would ask on here.

smoothbean

Does anyone know if there is a magazine which mainly focuses on flushing dogs?

smoothbean

fishpond does that mean the last price was $39 for the Active Adult? I was just in our local TSC and it was $32.xx and the place I get mine from is cheaper than that. Where are/ were you getting it from?

I had the same problem. I even had a couple dogs i couldn't keep weight on feeding it when not working. I went through a few different feeds and combinations of feeds with various results. i switched to Loyall and have had great results. I only feed one type of feed (Loyall) no mixing. Amount of fee...

May take a little to get used to it. HHave you tried leaving it on the run mode so it beeps every 5 or 10 seconds. You might not want to listen to it all the time but maybe you could do it till the dog gets used to it.

smoothbean

I'm agree with Jimbo. You better do some research on the pups you are looking at. If you are a foot hunter you may not want a dog whos lines are from horseback stock. They will tell you that you can always reel one in closer but can't make them hunt farther than natural but I can tell you it can be ...

There are two types of chicken by-product. Feed grade and pet food grade.If the manufacturer is using pet food grade you are better off. I think the main difference is the ash content, pet food grade has a lower ash content than feed grade. Actually pet food grade by product is better than poultry a...

I only feed dry. Once in the a.m and once in the p.m..If you are feeding a quality food you don't need to add other things. Canned food is not so good for the teeth either.

CHJIII I have sent this info on to my rep.. Hopefully it will help. I have had problems in the past also with Orschelns not taking coupons printed from my computer. I guess we can thank all the crooks in the world that print off duplicates for that. Anyway with the help of a Cargil/ Nutrena Rep. I f...

OOPS NEVERMIND

I have not done helped with it myself but my wife worked at a vet clinic once upon a time. She says you will only have to help do one enema to try to remove bone fragments and you will never give dogs bones again. Quit painful for the dog and not so pleasant for the one giving the enema either.

smoothbean

Bones can be bad news. The only bones I give are Nylabones. Why chance it when you don't have to?

These guys have some great dogs and they will train for you also if you are interested. I talked to John Koenig at a trial. He has a few setter puppies (a repeat breeding) that are not spoken for. These will be some great dogs out of proven dogs.

Look up Entropion.
Basicly is when the eyelid turns (usually the lower) in and allows the eyelashes to rub the eye. I think that the readness could be a symtom of this.

There is a UFTA trial at the Royal FLush Hunting Preserve in Rosedale, In. this weekend. It is a two day event Oct. 8th and 9th with pointing and flushing events. http://www.royalflushent.com/ http://www.ufta-online.com/index.php It is a really good time and for me it was a great way to get started ...

I heard of a trick to help with that. When puppies are a couple days old dock the tip of the tail. I tried it with some setter puppies. I can't remember exactly how much I took off but it was probably a quarter of an inch or so maybe a smidge more. Anyway as they grew you can't tell any of the tail ...

In case anyone cares I think the UKC is really wanting to get more birddogs registered in their club. They are now recognizing U.F.T.A. Championships and record them on paperwork (pedigrees) etc. I heard at a recent event they were going to try to get other trial associations on board also.

smoothbean

Hate to even open this can of worms but how about the rest of the time. When they are not in heat do you think as a rule female are generally easier to handle?

smoothbean

Mine is about the same. She was the High point Dog of the Year last year. 8x amateur Champion. Not much fun to run when he was in heat. Like you said sometimes good sometimes she would be doing her own thing(running like a pig).

I really like Loyall. I have a couple dogs that inhale their feed. I started with good size rocks in their pans to slow them down. Then went to water, started the water when trialing in the spring and summer last year. Mainly to increase the water intake for the heat. It works pretty good and I don'...

Must be the Armstrong's 2009. Nice dogs, they are some tuff competition. Do you still have that line of Brittany's?

smoothbean

You can join and pay at the trial. It really is a blast. Lots of good people and great dogs. There are getting to be more over in Illinois. We are from there but moved to Indiana. I try to support as many as I can over that way to build it up so when we move back I have plenty to go to. phermes1 The...

Great game to play. Which trial are you looking at Wabash? It is a good place to run. Royal Flush is the second weekend and it is a good place also. I may be at both. I'm hooked.

smoothbean

I have thought about getting some of these. For those who have them with heaters, what do you use for bedding?

Bloody stool is a Parvo symtom but don't know if the water has any thing to do with.
Blastomycosis is carried in stagnant water and earth you are in a hot spot for this.

No health issues with either. All are on regular worming and vaccination schedules. No puppies from either. Gsp is four EP is three, Crows Little Joe/ Burchel,s Dutchman and Mr Awsum breeding. He doesn't have a very nice looking feet but they don't slow him down any. Oh by the way I think that more ...

Just wondering what kind of percentage of the members on this forum have a neutered male dog. Maybe if you have intact males also you should post that also. I will start. I have a male neutered English Pointer and an intact male GSP. Also I will add I trial both. The pointer is a pain to keep in the...

smoothbean

Good idea for a new subject!

smoothbean

I guess I haven't seen enough fixed dogs at the trials I go to or the people I hunt with to see the higher percentage of injuries (due to being fixed). The only hunthing dogs I have see with those injuries were intact.

smoothbean

Wow this is a good subject. It is kind of sad to see how one sided people can be though. Again I could careless and think it depends on individual dogs and situations. I have a couple things to comment on from some of the posts I have read. I completely diagree that it will make your dog fat and tak...

smoothbean

Looks like fun. Too bad it is 420 miles away.
Any idea how many entries they usually have?

smoothbean

Unless you have an exceptionally bred male that you will have trouble finding the same lines I don't know why you wouldn't. Also unless you really do something special with him, good luck finding someone to breed their female to him when you want to have a pup out of him when he turns out to be the ...

I don't get it from a chain store. I buy from a rural feed dealer. I also had an increase but mine went went from like $24 to $26.I haven't bought any in a week so I don't know if it went up again.

I fed mine chicken layer crumbles. They say cracked corn is not good for babies if you are having them. I also tried the wild bird food with similar results of them scattering it out picking out what they like the best. With the layer crumbles they didn't scatter it since it is all the same. I also ...

I used to buy Loyall at Orschelin's. After talking to a Nutrena rep he told me about a Locall Nutrena feed dealer to try. I think I save somewhere around 6 to 8 bucks a bag on the Active Adult and they will get whatever I want if I want to switch.

The Boykin Spaniel is an American breed. These dudes are great in the field as well as the water.

smoothbean

There are also some UFTA trials held up in the Ashland area. They have flushing as well as pointing divisions. I'm sure you will get as many opinions about the best trial organization as there are opinions about the best breed of dog.

In my opinion it doesn't make a bit of difference what kinda of show any of us would like to watch. Any of which we would have a hard time agreeing on.
