I'm so sorry for your loss. She was beautiful.

Karen

Gary, get her on a regular feeding schedule insted of free feeding. It will help you anticipate what she neds to do and will help get her on a bathroom schedule. When I brought Chloe home at 8 weeks old there was no way she could last 4 hours. She absolutely had to go out every 2 hours around the cl...

Karen

Gary, did you tell Marsha that we've been in touch? With a little luck (and good pain meds and muscle relaxers) I'm hoping to see Marsha and Joe on Saturday. There's a party in the Luisi's, Pollocks, and Kiracofe's honor (for the championships they've all won this season) and I'm really hoping to fe...

Karen

OH MY GAWD!!! She's adorable!!

What's her name and how did you pick her?

Karen

I agree. I've used Continental a dozen times and was always very happy with how the dogs were handled.

Karen

How cute!!! Bet they're keeping you busy. Best of luck with them.

Karen

Good to see you here too!

Karen

No, not related. Petey just turned 3 in August and is a heck of a dog. Chippy (4th place) is on fire this season...has really come into his own and has won or placed in about everything he was entered in.

1. Get a bigger bowl so the food is in a single layer 2. get some large, smooth rocks for his bowl so he has to eat around them. 3. Add water to his meal so he's eating mush 4. Get him a bowl like this one (see brake-fast bowl about half-way down the page): https://www.uglydoghunting.com/kennel.php ...

What a fantastic picture! Not bad subject matter either

The first heat is usually sometime between 9-15 months. They usually occur every 5-8 months. You should notice swelling of the vulva prior to bleeding. Average length is 23 days. All you really need to do is keep her away from males. False pregnancies are pretty common and nothing to worry about, bu...

Two dogs were posted late this evening. I believe they ran 6 braces.

My dogs have been with the trainer for an extended period of time. I work with them almost every weekend, and when they come home, they pick up exactly where they left off. Blaze steals the remote and wants to trade for treats. Tessa immediately lets everyone know the world revolves around her. They...

Karen

We keep them in the pens for 2 weeks before using them, and then always use in the field the pen is in (we have 4 different pens where I train).

Sometimes it takes up to 36 hours for some to return to the pens, and we loose a fair amount of those to the hawks unfortuntely.

Karen

My trainer recently had a gsp he had to send home because of weight loss. Turned out her intestinal bacteria was out of balance and she needed to be put on meds for a couple of weeks to straighten it out, so before changing anything, you may want to make a trip to the vet first. Training can be phys...

Karen

Any dog that qualifies for nationals 3 years in a row has to be a pretty nice dog...not to mention he won it in 2005. :D Gary, if you ever want to come to Water & Wings to see Jack run in person, let me know. You can come as my guest. There are also 4 2 yr olds from a prior breeding training there n...

Karen

Being a little off after shots is pretty normal. If she doesn't perk back up in a couplef days or gets worse, call your vet.

As for the worms, these are pretty normal too. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Karen

She's adorable!!! Congratulations on your new addition!

Karen

Plenty of trainers out there never, ever compete. Others become trainers because they are tired of competing, so their "win record" is old news and no longer note worthy to a potential client. So checking a win record and it being a "must" isn't necessarily an indication of a good trainer . A good ...

Karen

Congratulations!!

Karen

I think they sit in your outbox until read by the recipient, then move to the sent folder.

Karen

he he! Looks like my house!

Karen

Sorry bobman! no offense meant. just trying to offer alternatives if that didn't work out

Karen

First and foremost, contact Duke's breeder. He/She may be able to help find a new home for Duke. If all else fails, the breed rescue groups are excellent to work with. If possible, give then a couple months to work with you, but they can help in getting your boy into a home where hunting ability/tra...

Karen

Your best bet is to get rates upfront when shopping for a pro. That way there are no surprises and you're comfortable with the arrangements. Just remember there are no qualifications required to hang a "pro trainer/handler" shingle so doing your homework, checking references, checking facilities in ...

Karen

Thanks everyone. Surgery went well. Went to doctor today for x-rays and dressing change. Will get staples out in 10 days then some machine to stimulate bone growth. Lots of vicodin rght now. Still have to sleep sitting up but finally on the up swing. Hopefully I'll be good as new in 8 weeks.

Karen

yes pete trains there, he's great

Karen

i train with jack and 4 pups from a prior litter. AWESOME DOGS

in fact i was suppose to be braced against jack this weekend but i had to scratch. i train at water and wings in pa...i'm in north jersey so it's closer than the setter club and my trainer works out of it.

Karen

is the pup by buck's hit the road jack?

Karen

Thanks for the warm welcome. Gar-dog, I know Marsha. She has some nice breedings planned. I think your new pup may have hit the ground last week. She said she had a litter in the motor home. Did you see that they won the chicken classic?

Karen

If she wants to retrieve 3 times, only throw the bumper twice. Always leave her wanting more. I have 2 dogs that will retrieve until they drop, and 2 that look at you, look at the bumper, look at you, look at the bumper...then walk away like retrieving is below them. If I was to hunt over those two,...

Karen

Have you fired your gun around her yet? Now might be the time to take advantage of her propensity to chase and introduce her to the gun while in full chase. Just an idea.

Karen

She's still a baby and some mature faster than others. Just be patient and keep exposing her to game birds. It'll come in time.

Karen

Lets see if this works...just added links to my signature.

Karen

Thanks for the welcome! Can I post a link to the peds on my website or do I need to put them into that perfect pedigree program? I have no puppies to sell (don't plan on breeding for QUITE some time) and no training to sell, so the site consists of a list of wins, some pics and pedigrees. I don't wa...

Wanted to introduce myself. My name is Karen, I live in New Jersey and I own 4 Brittanys and a horse. Courage, who is 7, is a housepet/bedwarmer but was our wonderful introduction to the breed. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c383/travelerGirl/DSCF0907.jpg Blaze followed 4 years later (took us tha...
