Yawallac is right on with his post. Some bitches are just exceptional producers as are some males. I have a bitch that I have bred to two very different males and got very nice litters. She has proven herself to be quite the foundation for my kennel for both show and field! In all of the litters I g...

This past Sat. I was in a very serious accident while judging a hunt test for my club. During the last brace of the day the horse that I was riding reared and flipped herself over backwards. I have a fractured Orbital bone with blurred vision. I also lost some usage of my legs and strength in my han...

Be sure to purchase insurance through the AKC before running the test!!!

I was involved in a serious accident this past Sat. while judging and thankfully my club has insurance.

YES it could be from the food. I would follow your vet's advice and switch for a while. About 5 yrs. ago I decided to switch over to a different puppy food and cat food. I tried the same brand for both pups and the cats. My cats AND my pups got crystals in their urine!! I had never had that happen b...

I would ask the breeder. A good breeder will have observed the pups on a daily basis and know what personalities are emerging. A good breeder should have introduced the pups to birds and had them out in the field some. The breeder should also be taking EACH pup individually into new situations and s...

I agree with Brenda. An 8 week old pup shouldn't be playing with a 4 mos. old pup. The 4 mos. old is most likely playing a little rougher than an 8 week old and could possibly hurt the younger one. The younger pup may be frightened and that could be making her snap at them. I definitely would let th...

How old is this pup?
How old was she when she left her littermates?

A fellow Weim rescuer knows this family and has been in contact with them. This was a total accident and the dog was NOT acting aggressively when this happened. The owner says that he was giving the dog treats and the dog snatched for the treat. The child was right at the level of the treat and got ...

Sorry to hear this, Ted. She is running and hunting the fields with my Folly girl.

I am so heartbroken. We lost "Folly" this morning to liver cancer. She had not shown any signs of being sick until last night. She was happy and perky right up until the end. Her owners loved her dearly and she was a great family pet to them and their young son. She placed third in her Futurity and ...

I am finally back after a LONG, EXHAUSTING trip!! Cherrystone had a repeat of last year's Derby! Cissy/Marie, Cherrystone La Reine De Pearls, placed second in the National Derby in Ardmore, OK. in a thirty dog stake. Greg Dixon, of Backwoods Bird dogs, has done a wonderful job of working with her in...

Congratulations!! I think that Susan W. was there also??

It is not contagious from dog to dog. We have this problem in my area in the summertime when it is hot and humid. The fleas are out. Flea bites dog creates break in skin thus allowing the staph bacteria to enter the skin. One thing I am not seeing on the treatment regimen is a good shampoo in conjun...

Hi there. The litter hasn't been born yet LOL It's actually due tomorrow! I so still have room on my list if you are interested. The pups will be ready to go in early March.

CherrystoneWeims

I switch my bitches over to puppy food the last two weeks of pregnancy. It gives them a little more calcium for the whelp. In fact I just started doing that this week for my bitch who is due on Dec. 3.

CherrystoneWeims

Looks like a diaphragmatic hernia to me also. It's genetic in Weims I don't know if it is in EP's.

CherrystoneWeims

Is she trying to vomit?

It almost sounds like bloat.

CherrystoneWeims

have you lived in Florida- I lived in Bradenton for 18 months- I have a close friend who is in the Tampa area. She is a fellow Weim breeder and very involved in field work. I also keep track of Lyme disease rates in various areas because I travel with my dogs quite a bit. Hubby is a pathologist so ...

CherrystoneWeims

I wouldn't worry about one tick. Chances are if the tick was on there as long as you say you would already be seeing the bullseye mark from the bite. Florida also doesn't have a high incidence of Lyme disease unlike the northeastern states. Why would you want to put your dog through unneccessary dru...

Kory,

He is looking good!!! Nice to see pictures of my boy!! He reminds me of his daddy.

CherrystoneWeims

That certainly was a very successful weekend!

Greg has one of my Weim pups on his string. Her name is Cherrystone La Reine de Pearls (Marie is her call name). She placed 3rd in Open Puppy at the Wirehair trial in NE a few weeks ago with Greg handling her. She is for sale. I've seen that pup at Greg's place, he is impressed with her. She really...

I use Greg Dixon of Spring Valley, WI. He trains in ND each summer. Have you considered sending your young dog to one of the pro's winter camps in a location like Texas? Greg trains in Texas each winter. Try this link to a previous thread: http://www.gundogforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=18838...

If this give you any indication as to how old pups should be when introduced to birds..........

Pups were about 5 weeks old......

Hi mik. There aren't any breeders in WI that I know of who are active hunters with their dogs. The only ones that I know of are strictly show breeders............ I actually have a pup that I sold to someone in WI a couple of years ago. SHe is turning out to be quite the little hunting dog AND a sho...

I have never heard of anyone feeding rabbit. I had a lot of snake owners want them but never a dog owner. Older rabbits have a pretty good amount of internal leaf fat and will have some between the muscles while the young friers will only have the two little leafs above the neck and a little around...

Sharon, Enron, AIG, and Citi Bank had reputations of being reliable investments before the bottom fell out for them. Would you still invest in them now? :mrgreen: Reputation is not always the most reliable way of evaluating someone. :lol: LOL Enron, AIG, and Citibank stocks were based upon paper an...

You will definitely want a dog with coat. A vizsla probably wont' do well nor will a pointer in such cold weather. What about a German Longhair Pointer or a Munsterlander? Or a Pointing Lab? I think you Americans think we live close to the Arctic Circle. :) I traded in my igloo long ago. I live in ...

That's what I was going to ask. If this person lives in a colder climate they may want a dog with more coat for water work.

I have heard of some cases in KY and TN.

I'm wondering if I should get my dogs vaccinated. I frequently pull rescue dogs from local shelters although I won't be doing so for a while as my bitch may be pregnant.

CherrystoneWeims

You physically go to the breeder and ask to watch the parents run on wild birds, not tame pen raised birds or pigeons in a launcher. That is how you get an idea of how well the dogs are at what they were bred to do. That would be very difficult when I am sending a pup to Europe, Canada, TX, WI, etc...

CherrystoneWeims

These were newborn pups. I am not sure if they would have been able to swallow a paste.

CherrystoneWeims

I have used it for newborn pups. I had to use it with my last litter as the mother was put on antibiotics due to an emergency spay. I wanted the pups' gut flora to stay good as the antibiotics were going to them via the mother's milk. It dissolves pretty well in formula for bottle feeding (I never b...

CherrystoneWeims

Ayres is quite correct. I have a contract written up by an attorney which both parties sign. The contract states specific obligations of the buyer before the pup can be bred, my obligations as the breeder, that if the pup cannot be kept at any time during the dog's life it must be returned to me, an...

Tommyboy, I said it is just a general guideline in what to look for in a breeder. nor the inclination to trial or participate in ridiculous tests that in no way even remotely resemble a real world scenario? Does this make breeding the parents a poor idea? In my book yes it does make breeding the par...

For puppies a lot of it is arranging situations so there isn't a problem. My pups never have run of the house so i don't have to worry about coffee tables and counters. Same as a child - don't leave the matches on the table, put them up high. Prevention is the key. Every time you correct your pup a...

weims for hog hunting? i haven't heard that. but hey what a weim can do a shorthair can do better :lol: i'm just kidding. just wanted to ruffle your feathers...

Highcntry hasn't posted on here for quite a while but he uses his Airdales for hog hunting and in fact sells them at times for that purpose.

Aline (zzweims) has also used her Weims for hog hunting.

CherrystoneWeims

Train your dog to not go until you release him. That's also the safest thing for your dog and will protect him even more from being shot.

If her breath stinks that could be a sign of a possible tooth issue. By using drops and other things you are covering up the underlying problem.

CherrystoneWeims

One of the biggest things that I find with horses that get thrush is that their owners don't clean their hooves out enough. When I had horses I cleaned them out on a daily basis and they never got thrush. I also made sure that they had a good area with plenty of drainage for shelter when it rained. ...

LOL I have a friend of mine who trials both Weims AND JRT"s and they live in NJ! The wife has really gotten into the JRT's and is showing and trialing with them in UKC. I just can't picture the husband sitting ringside at the shows but he does.

CherrystoneWeims

I feed twice a day. I don't like free feeding because of vermin and housebreaking issues with puppies.

CherrystoneWeims

Have you emptied her anal glands? That can be a source of stink many times!!
