Stihl FS-55 Living on 11 acres of timber, I use the brush cutter blade most. Changes out easily and will cut through some pretty good size saplings, if you have the need. Zero issues in almost 10 years of use.

I believe Howie and Tammy Hill own Sharp Shooters NW Mr. Motion and Gunslinger's NW Heartbreaker--the bottom half of that pedigree. Tammy goes by Ms. Cage on here, I think, so I'd just ask them about their dogs. I've met them and they seem to be straight shooters. :D http://www.northwaters-gsps.com/

I really don't like posting training advice, cause I'm just a grasshoppa myself. So please take my opinion for just that. He was definitely too attentive in the clip and obviously not ranging at all, looking up at the handler all the time, possibly because of the bird bag. If that's the case, I'd lo...

I love reading your posts about your daughter! It's wonderful that she's found a passion that you can share, and a huge kudos to you for giving her those opportunities.

I only use the collar on the neck. I put it on snug up high and let it work down a bit. My husband likes to crank 'em down and I swear my dog's tongue turns a light shade of purple. Kind of kidding on that, but basically I don't let him collar my dog. I do like others, with snug and it tends to sli...

That's cool! How did you mount it? It seems pretty stable in relation to the dog.

You got it!

What a deprived puppy with that teeny tiny bed and suffering from an obvious lack of toys.

I posted this recent UC Davis study in the health section, not too long ago. Please have a look at the results the study found. Also note that even though the beginning states "Neuter", they are using that as an inclusive term for both sexes, to include spaying as well. http://news.ucdavis.edu/searc...

A friend just posted their penn hip results, and I was revisiting information, since I didn't realize it could be done on a puppy. Anyway, I thought this link was interesting. I'm pretty sure Solon is or was on GDF too.

I started with pet food bowls on a shelf, but ended up with a lot of poop around the bowls, and in the shelving unit. The bowls were easy to remove, but the wood shelving unit was a pain to get clean. I bought these small hanging feeders a year or two ago. I can't remember what they cost, but want t...

There is something that my dog had. A form of meningitis. Makes the neck very painful. Arched back is often a telltale sign. I can't remember if a fever was attached. Google this to get a better handle on the symptoms to see if they match what you are seeing in your pup: Steroid Responsive Meningit...

Quill, I LOVE hunting wild birds. I keep a calendar journal, and averaged being out every 2-3 days of season. Should have squeaked in a few more, but not too bad I think, and we had a lot of memorable finds and moments with friends. I continued to work my dog on those same grounds, after season clos...

Congrats on those placements and finishing her FC!

Congrats Karen, way to get it done. Terry, you can't show a dog with a capped tooth. This surprised me, and seems unfortunate to disqualify for a restorative, but I did find AKCs rule on it. Nice looking dog though. 6. Restorative dental procedures, the use of bands or braces on teeth, or any alter...

How sweet is that! Lots of fun times ahead. Thanks for sharing.

Last fall I had 3, but my old lab passed on at 15. I currently have a shorthair that will be 6 yrs in July and one that turns 4 yrs in a month--and I hope to bring the pack back up to 3 dogs again this year.

wems2371

Great pics and looks fun! I'm always envious looking at the pretty backdrop y'all have to frame your dog work. Official nesting season starts here in less than a week, so withdrawals are starting.

Thanks for the tips. Yes, I was disappointed with the recall funnel, when I saw it's shape. The premade pens I saw them selling, with roughly made wire funnels, had the end nearly touching the roof of the cage. I just went out to try to reform the funnel, but it's made well, and didn't budge. I'm pr...

Since Spring birds are hard to find, I am hoping to be able to reuse some quail, and I put this recall pen together. A johnny house really wasn't an option. Dimensions are from either LCS or GDS cage size that they sell. Whichever one was bigger, is what I used. I already had the wire, so I just rip...

Very nice! Congrats!

My pups all started in crates in my bedroom. Seems like somewhere between 1-2 years, we started letting them out for short periods, like when running to the post office or such...and then lengthen it out from there. During the summer, mine go out in a 10x10 kennel. I don't leave my dogs unconfined t...

I have a drahthaar friend that brought an older pup, probably 8-9 months, to a training day last September. I'm guessing he didn't notice the pups demeanor when he loaded it in the early morning dark hours, but the pup looked absolutely whipped and vomited or tried to vomit several times during the ...

I am so sorry about Wrigley. Know that you did the best anyone could to help him, and he is at peace now.

I've been watching Matt's pups on FB. What a beauty! Congrats on Remi.

I really liked our truck with topper. Unfortunately that truck got delegated for work duty, so now I work out of a small jeep and a small dog trailer. I do get double the mileage, but have a lot less space and organization to work with. Anyway, here's the video of the drawers we made for truck and t...

petrey10, Any word on recent things with Wrigley? I'm very curious to hear. My wife did bring up another possiblity... if you and your vet continue to rule things out. Have you discussed spinal cord infections either bacterial or viral?...and fyi...my wife is a lot smarter than I am. I am not sayin...

I saved this thread link, from some time ago. It would be a little bit pricier than DIY drawing and painting, but you'd get an outline to cut and a one-sided paint job for the price. http://gundogforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=23971&p=217241&hilit=printed+backing+dog#p217241 I made one out of ...

My lab did this years ago, and the copraphagia pills did work. FOR-BID is one brand name, but there are others. If you have multiple dogs and your dog is an equal opportunity poop eater, you'd have to give them all the pills, and make sure the yard is clean of unmedicated dog bombs before you start ...

Vets have moved to a 3 year cycle on that vaccine.

I'll have to ask my vet about that. I have an appointment on Tuesday for both dogs, for their yearly booster.

I prefer taking the dew claws off for aesthetics, which really doesn't mean much. But, when running my three pointers a couple of weeks ago in WY I noticed my female had a few spots of blood on her feet. On further inspection I noticed one bleeding sore was at the exact location the dew claw was re...

It may be true that he was misinformed about his benefits, but, more important, how is a healthcare plan that doesn't cover your family useful? I think that's probably the main issue. That's why he's paying out of pocket for healthcare. Just because it isn't under the guise of the Veteran's Adminis...

Esquire is backpedaling on some of the healthcare statements now, but the punch has aleady been made, and a lot of folks will only remember the initial article. I'm not sure which anti-Esquire article I read this morning, but one mentioned the VA taking them to task. Married to a former Marine, inju...

You would have thought I'd asked him for his last dime! He tell's me he'll be over and to expect to haggle on the price. I told him not to bother, I won't haggle.

I think what I'll end up doing is tare down and have them come in and install the roof although around here I'm not to sure if any of the contractors will go for that cause its money out of their pocket.

You are instantly dinged for using game at the water. You lose half your water score (10 points off of 112) and a Prize 3 is the best you can do thereafter.

Had a bad week of trying to recover some deleted files on an SD card. So I know I added and deleted some internet programs, trying to recover those. I'm not sure if I changed a setting or what.
