Patience, persistance, and consistancy... Gun Dog Supply has several books that have great informative tips... Find a knowledgeable trainer to help you if you can, but is sounds like the dog just needs to know you are running the show. Keep at it, I don't think it's anything too serious, but it can ...

Hey wait... That's an English Pointer that got her tail slammed in the tailgait... right???

Why no love for the chukar bird?? Not a bird alive that physically challenges both man and beast more! Elkhunter, I would love to hunt wild chukars! But they ain't where I am... or is... anyway, a local bird supplier raises them, and I use them to train my dog with... I'm sure the wild ones are muc...

I always thought pork, but I learned on this site, and a new vet that it is ok... but as long as we mentioned family and what the dog eats in the same thread... My son is 16... when he was about 3 months old, I brought home a lab puppy... well at about 6 months, he (the dog, not my son) chewed a pai...

SHORTFAT

I agree with the other posts here... the English Pointers are more of a southern dog. I have one in Pa and she gets cold after an hour or so... my friends Setters are still going in the snow... but come summer, mine will still be going all day and the Setters are tripping on their tongues... I would...

??? huh?

I had a lab that would walk the lenthg of our picket fence and hit each picket with his nose until he found a loose one... then he would pop right out between the pickets! :lol: He was always easy to find tho... Just drive thru town and listen for kids playing, or he would be down in the creek froli...

SHORTFAT

I think we are "well rounded" and agree on more than we differ. We agree on the important things about training dogs. Techniques will vary based on our experiences. Yeah,,, just look at the "Beer" thread... :mrgreen: and my wife says I'm quite round thank you... really tho... like anything else... ...

SHORTFAT

My daughter named our Lab "Ruff".. "so he can say his name"... I liked it cuz we live in Grouse country... Dog never did bark much!

SHORTFAT

Fiona... it's Galic for "White".

SHORTFAT

My Lab had a couple of benign cysts and one grew to be quite large... nothing to be overly worried about, but take him to the vet and have them checked first to be sure. We had a biopsy done just to know. They never bothered him in 15 years. Hope your dog is ok... Have him checked... post a picture ...

SHORTFAT

Well me Da' was a boxing champ an' me Mum was a beauty queen... did me no good whatsoever... but fer puppies, I think it does... if only because it increases the chance of good performing puppies in the litter somewhere... Doesn't mean they all will be good, or even any of them, but I think you can ...

SHORTFAT

C'mon now!

How many threads have you seen 85+ posts on and not a single argument! LOL! I don't even drink anymore, but I still like a beer with my steak every now and then!

Yeah... but she'd be sad about it... right?..

and after that last episode with the hole in the good Filson blanket, I hope I give her indegestion!

SHORTFAT

Oh man... if word about this gets out, I'm screwed! :oops: My dog looks out the window in the morning until the retired mailman that lives next door goes out to fill his birdfeeder! Then she goes nuts to go out and get the treats he has for her! LOL! If we do need to sleep in tho, we just kennel her...

SHORTFAT

Good Lord man! Please don't tell my wife you can train a dog to do that!!!

Morality (from the Latin moralitas "manner, character, proper behavior") is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are good (or right) and those that are bad (or wrong). A moral code is a system of morality (for example, according to a particular philosophy, rel...

SHORTFAT

and my English Pointer is "Canoe Broke"... and let me tell you, THAT is really something for an EP!!!

and she can count to 5 in dog treats... :roll: so... what were we discussing again???

SHORTFAT

OH... AND MY DOG IS HOUSEBROKE... and that's about it...

SHORTFAT

Wait just a second here... exactly how long were the tails on the dogs those three guys were trailing??? cuz THAT tells ya all ya need to know about where the money went!

SHORTFAT

My dog knows both sit and whoa. Keep them seperate. Whoa is worked on first on the training table or barrel, and on a mat at the back door. Sit is for a treat or when we meet someone while out walking and I don't want the dog to act like an idiot. My dog sat on a couple of planted birds and I gently...

Found 'em!!!

They're in my neighbors back yard!!! :roll: Can't wait! 'course... They'll be in the next county by the time the season opens...

SHORTFAT

Not at all!!! glad someone was into the birds!

SHORTFAT

I have an honest question... I don't do the field trials, but I rely on the knowledge and experience of those that do... I have a hunting house pet in my English Pointer... good dog with lots of natural drive... now our season is over and i wonder if anyone else takes a break from training on a regu...

SHORTFAT

I will occasionally have a conversation with someone that is just astonished that my dogs stay outside in all weather. I always ask them, "should I bring my horses inside too, how can I bring the dogs in and leave the horses out there to freeze?" No one ever seems to have an answer for this. I see ...

SHORTFAT

Very sorry! Wow... I would be crushed as I'm sure you are. Beautiful pup for sure... Condolences.

SHORTFAT

My real favorite is the one on my plate at any given meal...

but I chose the Ruffie... 'cuz that's what I have here to hunt! They're all good tho!

SHORTFAT

Good point 3Britts... it could have very well been a youth field day or some kind of large group... would be nice to hear some details and pictures!

SHORTFAT

Good Lord, but this thread is a CLASSIC!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: my gut hurts! :mrgreen: I have experience with only one Weim & I can honestly say I like the dog better than it's master...

Sounds like fun to me!!!

I ain't seen 17 birds in one day since... well... guess I ain't never seen me 17 in a day!!!

My dog would loose her mind!!!

SHORTFAT

Consensus of curiosity... :mrgreen: Ain't gonna judge him cuz I don't know... I'm thinkin' they must have been planted birds, or it was some sort of private preserve... but this is what I found about N.C. regulations... if that's where he was...

This is why I get on this forum... I learn something new every day... I would have never guessed you could get them back from that far away... Not that I would need to, but knowledge is always good!

Oh... Love the avatar ibbowhunting! Nice looking pup!

SHORTFAT

We usually go winter camping with the Boy Scouts after the hunting season is over... Havn't had enough snow this year to make it any fun!!!

SHORTFAT

Very sorry. My condolences.

SHORTFAT

If she's hunting, it doesn't phase her a bit... 8) but in the morning when it's -10 degrees, she'll stick her nose out the back door and turn around and go back in the house... right under the blankets! :mrgreen: I do need to get her a new chest protector, cuz she'll bust right into the brush and br...

I love the size of my dog. Our Lab was 90lbs and thought he was a lap dog! :roll: When he jumped up onto yer lap the iced tea & chips went flying and he knocked the wind out of you!

The EP jumps up and snuggles in and is just the right size...

SHORTFAT

She's 2 1/2 now... and she still acts like she's on crack!

SHORTFAT

It's funny, but last night while sitting on the couch I was pondering the same thing about my English Pointer... She's 35 lbs and I really like the size. She was a true runt tho'.. much smaller than the others in her litter right off the bat... She's all heart tho... (hope you guys don't mind an EP'...

SHORTFAT

I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like she had a great life and was very blessed with longevity! Letting them go is never easy. Verry sorry.

Use enough gun. Don't follow up a flushed ruffed grouse more than once. Do not hunt the late February season for ruffed grouse. Do not take long shots hoping for a golden BB. Work to recover the inevitable cripple. Don't shoot a bird on the ground or in a tree. If hunters are already in a field you...
