The thing I am concerned about with moistened food is keeping the teeth clean. They do like it though.I havent ever tried it but the nuking sounds like it might be a better alternitive. Oh it was 15 this morning with about 2 inches of snow. Rush is like a kid and loves to play in it. Think we will t...

I have two boxes inside a 8X12 lawn shed idenical to the first pic you show. I also had one outside very much like it only i had the front hinged instead of the top so i could raise it and leave it open in the summer. Dogs really liked the shade in the summer and an open place to sleep. I wouldn't w...

Yhe second he held till I flushed it and the third he was gone for several minutes so I went to find him and he w...

Whole ground corn is used in dog food. The grinding is done so it will incorprate into a pellet or a flake. The meal is heated going through the pellet mill or extruder but isn't cooked in the normal process. It is not a major source of protien as it only runs around 9 % at best. It is used because ...

For years I fed one of the cheap dogfoods and the dogs did great. Several finished on the bench and several pointed in the field. I just didnt have the money to raise 5 kids and trial dogs on a single income. Corn was the first ingredient because it is an excellent natural cheap source of carbs that...

pigeons
Sorry but we have been on vacation and then I will be gone for another week or so. I checked and there should be plenty of younger birds available for $3 bucks each. I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible, Sorry for the delay.

I have never heard that taste had anything to do with the retrieve but rather that their feathers are quite loose and the dog gets a mouth full of feathers. I know that is what happened anytime we have shot them. The dogs have always pointed them and normally retrieve them also but always end up wit...

I don't want to sound pestimistic but correcting gunshyness is about the hardest thing to correct and many times is never finished satisfactorily. Do the things like you have been advised here out in the field when he is happily doing something far from you. This should be slow and careful. If it do...

Those are regular barn pigeons. They are a little longer but not as thick as a quail. Overall they are smaller than a quail. The homers will be slightly larger than the regular pigeon. But neither are large birds and sure aren't too large to start a puppy on. A 1/2 pound bird is no match for a twent...

If you will take enough I might be able to have them brought half way or so. I think Don has done this before. He used to take his and mine to northern WI but that was usally a couple of hundred birds at a time. If you tell me how many you want I could find the price it would take to bring them half...

You know what you like but it seems such a waste of a pointing dog if it always is in gun range. Under those restrictions I have always thought a flushing dog was the thing to have. I understand the fact that some pheasants are going to flush wild but many good dogs learn to handle that pretty well ...

tf, I can't quite agree with you even though what you say is true. I have never thought of sit as the way to demonstrate controland sure not in the field. The other thing is not that a dog can't tell the difference between whoa and sit. The peoblem was that a dog that tries to please you will many t...

If any of you are needing pigeons I can supply you with homers here in Northern Illinois. And if someone wants enough to make it worth while I could deliver. These are nice big healthy birds. The price would be between $2 or $3 picked up depending what age you want to somewhat higher if delivered. I...

Pheasants is why we have a pointing dog here in the midwest. they aren't as easy for a dog to pin down as quail but they still do a good job and the good ones handle it great. Do away with pheasant hunting and you will do away with most of the continental breeds. That is one of the reasons they are ...

Colin, I'm just getting involved in some hunts that are simular but with slightly different scoring than your UFTA trials. A group called Illinois Upland sponsors them. It seems that the interest is high and more and more people with good hunting dogs are getting involved. I sure like the idea of co...
Dog Food
I worked in the industry for years and worked with the nutritionist and I find it hard to believe that people who have studied nutrition are formulating feed that is not tested and proven to be healthful before it is offered for sale. I don't think many of you have any idea of the money and time spe...
