Does she do the shifting as well as handle the steering?

The clutch gets her every time.

markj

how did #9 and rock salt work as a training aid?

You tell me, I havent used that method.

But you did say:

the root of the problem lies in the breeding.

In answer to the OP
Find gun shy dogs at the local rescue. The SOLAS in Council Bluffs Iowa gets a good hunting dog in every so often.

markj

So besides rusty line, what other lines may have this?

markj

the coyotes clean up all the gutpiles from dead deer doing deer season

And the hog piles thru th summer. I skin the hog, gut it cut off the hoofs and face put itinside the skin and haul it to teh back 40. Is gone in 2 days, we usually set up over it and kill them yotes come to eat it

markj

Like Colby Stanga on axe men, I let the dogs go find what they wish to eat. They live off alligators and fish.... well no I feed PMI Nutrition :) He took his dog to the vet, said that dog was very healthy, then asked him what he fed it. :) looked at that vet kinda wierd said I dont feed this dog any...

markj

As to being gunshyed by the man - what specifically did he do to make the dog gunshy? He went and got 2 quail, let them loose, pup was like 4 months old, pup found quaIl, bird flushed guy shot 4 times right off the dogs head. I was told this after I took her out by myself and shot one time over a b...

"Does your dog ride up front?"

Only on the motorcycle....

markj

Dang weims, my keyboard cant take it

markj

Grandpa had setters, real nice ones, he got 200 per pup in the 30s. Grandpa was a railroad man. Dad had springers. I loved them dogs but one day in 1967 I watched a shorthair dog find, point and hold a wild bird till the person flushed it and shot it, that dog fetched the bird and put in his hand. I...

markj

We are getting $42 per coyote in Alberta.

Might be a higher quality of fur too, less people around to feed them garbage.

So if I send you 100 furs.......

markj

Love to here yours too buddy ?.... But one suggestion from me is ....Concrete ! Concrete is great for the kennel runs, but we hunt on open ground. Mine run on 4 acres of wired e fence with stubborn dog collars set to high so they stay put on my land. For digging I catch one I hold their head in the...

markj

Not gonna tell. wouldnt be prudent at this juncture...

markj

gunshy is a breeding problem, not a training problem Really? I do not think this is true at all. I bought a female age 9 months from a divorced gal. That dog was gun shyed by the man. Dog would run and hide when ever someone fired shot. Irun her on wild birds for 3 or 4 weeks, then one day I droppe...

To catch the bird, you must become the bird lol

markj

Any one who knows me , knows that I say it how it is! I'm the same with dog training 'Sit means Sit'. The more information given ,the more detailed the reply...Simple's It may or may not surprise a few on the other side of the pond,that in the UK we already have a ban on all e-collar use in Wales a...

markj

Why not block off a small room, placepuppy pads on teh floor with a few toys? Food and water too. It is how I do my pups. Teach them house training and fun too. I think keeping them locked up in a crate isnt the best thing for any living creature. Back in the day, wasnt crates. Only people that coul...

markj

I simply posted the prices Trapper & Predator Caller just had in their publication. Google it, it's on line :) man it isnt even an American ayction it is in Canada :) so I gotta ask next, is that canda dollars or american Im lafing my rear end off here. Local fur fetches 7.00 for a coon, maybe10 fo...

markj

Do your freakin' homework

Hey, I know what they bring around here. You made it sound like anyone can waltz right in to the local fur buyer and expect to get 60.00 which just isnt happening here. My homework has been done.

markj

I wouldn't want to go hunting with either. Well you cant, they are both dead these man yyears. Back in the day a man would have a sip or two or the hooch, didnt get drunk or wasted. Just a tummy warmer. I was a kid, didnt have a say in who I hunted with, Dad said lets go and we went. Life was very ...

markj

Hey twofeathers, hows that janie dog doing? Any pics to post up? Good hunting to you.

markj

You show up to our local fur buyer with a truck load of prime, skinned, scraped, and stitched yotes and he MIGHT give you $20 apiece for them. Or he might laugh at you and send you on your way. As far as coons go..... they pay about as well as quail feathers.... Yeah thats how it is around here. Wh...

markj

so most are in the 20.00 to 30.00 dollar range

Have to kill 100 or so to make the gas and expenses. Not that many around here. I still plan on the annual spring yote shoot we do call em in and cut em down.

The 10/22 with 30 round mags does the trick.

markj

The symptoms of this illness in dogs are cough, runny nose and fever, however, a small proportion of dogs can develop severe disease.

Mine didnt have these symptoms

I will keep on looking, maybe take her to teh vet as she is older.

markj

I ask my brother to watch over my dogs when I go on vacation, they stay home that way in familiar teritory.

markj

Fur prices are going up now. A coon is $60.00, coyote close to $90.00. Just an article on it in American Hunter.

Wow, who is paying that if the article said. Havent seen more than 30.00 for yotes here. For 90 I will head out and kill a bunch, runem with the 6 shorthairs

This pup is very intense on his points, he is going to be one great dog. Thanks Dave

treedQuail.JPG

My favorite pic, there is a quail in that tree, wouldnt flush out so I head shot it, she caght it before it hit the ground

Best female I ever had. Thanks Ken

markj

or similiar symptoms? Had 2 older dogs so ar this winter have the same symptoms, heavy shivering, uncontrollable shivering, wont eat, wont drink. Kennel temp is like 40 degrees. I brought them in, after 2 days they ate again and are back to normal altho still inside the house. Never had a dog do thi...

markj

Doobie puffers will probably be too laid back to even want to hunt. They'll be too busy eating Doritos to get off the couch. :) saw up in smoke the other day, if thats what it does have no problems with folks parking on the median :) stoned... I once hunted with guys that drank, was my dad and uncl...

markj

If the price for fur goes back up folks would start trapping them again. No trapping or hunting on them due to no price for the fur means a lot of loose yotes running around looking for a meal.

We call them in with a radio caller in the spring and shoot the heck out of them.

markj

Exercise brings it on, go take a walk in the morning, it will loosen you up

markj

I look at teh cost of ammo nowadays and availability. 223 is till kinda cheap

markj

How do hunters feel about this legal pot stuff? Will some hunters go out stoned and shoot my dog accidently?

markj

The 12 year old I have is going blind and deaf, he gets lost in tall grass now so he stays home.

markj

I have jumped yotes while hunting many times, the two shorthairs make quick business with them. We used to run them with greyhound racer dogs, they go to ground I sent in my 70 lb pit bull for the kill. Hanged them on the truck box and moved on to the next one. Had my dogs run up on all manners of v...

markj

I am waiting for the person that will brred a bulldog to a shitzu

make me a BullShitz puppy

markj

am I the only one?

Ya, its only you there lol

This world is going nutso fast. Girls want to be boys, boys wearing dresses and going into girls rest rooms.... cats barking at night.... people breeding any dog they can get their hands on and asking 3 times what a great dog costs...

markj

Garden hose works for them!
No words! ..Just timing,then you can use any word you want?

And it is so much fun

markj

My inside gal comes up to me, sits, then paws at me, like givinga high 5. I ask her want to go out, she responds :) we go out, she does her thing. I used a small area with puppy pads at first. I would watch her and when she showed signs of needing to go I took her outside. After a couple days no mor...

markj

OK so I did a google.

http://beefmagazine.com/cattle-genetics ... akes-sense

seems they do spay heifers mainly for the same reason the steer is neutered, hormones. Read it and see if it fits for your dog or not. The reasoning I mean.

markj

go to a feeder cattle auction and you will see hundreds of spayed heifers.................... Well I do go to these, it is where I get my calfs. Never saw a "Spayed heifer" a heifer is a cow that hasnt had a offspring, when they do not get pregnant after exposure to a bull, they go to the auction t...

The cops arrested them folks.

markj

The feed bill keeps me down to 5

markj

I have never heard of a spayed cow. They dont spay them, if they do not take (get pregnant) they go off to the sale barn and eventually the stores you buy meat from, not meat or butcher shops, stores like wal mart. Steers do not get as big as the bull, they get sent off to slaughter before that hap...

markj

Cost is almost nothing for this test, so why not?

markj

People left their dog out in a crate, dog pooped in crate then froze solid to poop until it was rescued. Sure does get me upset reading this crap after all the hard work we put in to keep our outside dogs comfy. Some folks shouldnt be

markj

Never bothered me a bit :) neutering is for boys cause they got outies, spaying for gals cause they are innies. Simple enough altho old timers may say it differently, like Dad always saying a new born horse is a colt regardless of its sex. Spay or neuter, what ever, if it is what you want, the anima...

markj

Howie says most country/ farm boys learned about the e fence young.

and the electric spark plug wire on the mower

ouchie.

markj

LOL or the e fence

seen it meself. ouch the pain

markj

The thing here is, you let him up on it, every thing you do with pup is a training moment. He learned it is OK to get up there, it will be very hard to break that now. Very hard to "untrain" the dog, but maybe get pup his own pillow and place it inside his crate. He may like that if it is comfy.

markj

At today's oil and fuel prices, do you really think chickens are being put on a slow boat to China to come in the form of chicken or poultry by-product meal? No live birds are shipped, just the left over by products we dont use like heads, feet, etc. They use it and what they do not use gets ground...
