Ok please erase this post. Thanks for the info knine but I WAS NOT looking to train just to let my dog run. Sorry it's so difficult, I'll just stick to the public dog parks to let him run loose. Who knew Az was this difficult, I.m kinda missing the old homestate. Please just lock or erase my thread ...

Ranger351

The original post stated I didn't want a membership or fees at a preserve just so my dog can run. I stated on public lands as well. I'm not saying others don't do it nor am I saying it's not worth it just that it was not what I am looking for. Is that so wrong?

Ranger351

You have no reason to feel offended that someone chooses not to use your services. I'm sure you dont have everyone who hunts only hunting at your place. Like every other american I pay taxes that covers a membership to use public lands so that is what I opted to do. If that offends you that I use pu...

Ranger351

Ok so I'm not the only one who felt that way.

Ranger351

Knine sorry you took offense to what I said, I'm not against what you have or do I am simply just looking for a person who has a hunting dog who just wants to let the dogs run and play together. I apologize that I am not interested at this time in the services you provide. I thought this was a forum...

Ranger351

What's the pro's / con's of giving garlic to a dog daily?

Ranger351

Yeah I just wasn't looking to have a membership and fees just to let my dog run loose.

Ranger351

Seriously I know this is a nation wide board but no one in the greater Phoenix area?

Ranger351

I live in Mesa Az and have a 5 mo old gsp. Just curious if anyone else in this area would just like to get together and let the dogs run somewhere. Not wanting to pay to go to a preserve just some public land or something.

Ranger351

If an o/u shot gun is taken apart can it be shipped through fedex or ups if done in different shipments so no single shipment contains enough to make an operable firing gun?

Ranger351

Just curious about dogs size at 5 mo. Saw jerseys pic on another post and she's huge. Others who have seen my pup say he's good sized. The dam is tall but the sire is a bit shorter but very stocky and muscular. Btw its a gsp.

Ranger351

So all stools are firm again and he is acting normal again. Just curious how long this safeguard for horses lasts until it expires? Is it worth holding onto for a while incase he gets sick again?

Ranger351

Ok so after some further research started safeguard and switched to diamond ea chicken and rice naturals. His stools started to firm up slightly from liquid form. Now I'm noticing he squeezes out a few drops of a milky clear liquid each time he poops and his stool is extremely foul smelling. Hopeful...

Ranger351

Not arguing but if its so good why do so many dog food reviews look down on it as an ingredient? I seriously don't understand.

Ranger351

Ok I started large breed based on a vets suggestion that the glucosamine chondroitin would be better for the joints. I always fed red flannel till I had an incident with it then fed diamond. Very happy till now. I'm not much on byproduct meal in foods so don't like loyall or ppp. Just didn't know if...

Ranger351

But will switching to kirkland chicken and rice be ok since its made by diamond or should I go to another food altogether?

Ranger351

That's how much I feed now not at 10 wks and he isnt fat vet says he's just healthy

Ranger351

Ruth, since 10 wks old, 2-3 cups total split up into 2 daily feedings, rarely gets treats less than 1 a week and yes been dewormed

Ranger351

Ok I know tons of food posts. So feeding diamond large breed puppy to my 4 mo gsp. Loose stools (melting softserve) and a dull coat with dandruff. I'm curious what's best comparable to that near me here in Az?

Ranger351

I too am curious since I see swiss bells for under 10 bucks so just curious what makes a more bell worthy of more money

Ranger351

Looked at lion country and saw no way to hear them. Thinking about the swiss bell or the north woods

Ranger351

Only snakes I've ever seen in Az was bull snakes and different rattlers but I seem to encounter them more often than I like. I'm sure there's more I've just never seen them.

Ranger351

So just curious who uses them and what ones they prefer. I see several online and have a few I like but have not been able to actually hear them to see how the sound. Any reccomendations on ones to use or ones to avoid and where to get them?

Ranger351

Males - Ranger, Remington(Remi), Bennelli, Trigger, Hunter, Seirus, Maverick
Females- Avery, Savanah, Annie(oakley),Whiskey

Ranger351

So what is the best method for snake breaking a dog? I have heard of using defanged snakes and such or the high burn method as well. Just curious what everyones opinions are.

Ranger351

My pup is 4 months and 20lbs I just think its a good idea with taking him into the feild

Ranger351

How old should a dog be? Who is the best in Az?

Ranger351

I understand letting him be a pup and don't want to rush him at all. I'm training him myself and just see all these posts about these young pups pointing wings orm even in the field. Just don't want to fall behind since I'm newer to this.

Ranger351

13 weeks.

Ranger351

George Hicox videos. Training your pointing dog. Isk it worthwhile to buy?

Ranger351

Thanks I will look into the pointing dog clubs here in Az and see what they run and what they offer. Ill keep an eye out and keep looking for pigeons. It was mentioned before about the pigeon removal guys might give theirs away. Is their a difference in a raised pigeon and a wild pigeon that I need ...

Ranger351

Checked with a few stores not one had a clue. Was worried about wild pigeons as for diseases. Not sure one how many times just wanna intro him and when he starts getting it I'll take him out in the fields and on wild birds. Following Scott Millers training your pointing dog video as its all I got ti...

Ranger351

How much do these clubs cost? Any ideas on where to get pigeons? Training myself cause of costs and only looking to hunt not do trial or anything.

Ranger351

So my pup wont point the wing on a string and been wanting to try live pigeons but not sure where to buy them near mesa az. Any suggestions or training tips please pass on as I'm doing training myself.

Ranger351

Azrio where you at in az?

Ranger351

just seems easier to open and figured if its on the dogs collar connecting the cc it wouldn't get that dirty.

Ranger351

Any one use these? They seem pretty cool and easier to use when you need to open them.

Ranger351

Just found a 5/8 50 ft. hose for 12$ at wally world

Ranger351

Is there someplace I can see different names to get more ideas of how people name the akc name?

Ranger351

So since everyone has different opinions what would the disadvantages of a airhose be?

Ranger351

Ok named our gsp pup Ranger and was thinking of Walker Texas Ranger as and akc name. Any suggestions or advice?

Ranger351

Any body ever hear of using a air hose as a cc? Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

Ranger351

K9 who do you recommend for snake breaking a gsp pup?

Ranger351

Anyone in az with a yildiz? Also curious about a slightly older wingmaster

Ranger351

Problem is I'm in Az so no academy anywhere but might get a friend to pick one not sure yet.

Ranger351

I have only read the internet reviews.

Ranger351

So I am considering a Stevens 512 as well as a Mossbery Silver Reserve. Have heard both good and bad revies but all are relatively older. Any one know anything on the guns currently that have been produced since the flaws? Also considering a Yildiz from Academy if I can figure out how to get one sin...

Ranger351

Im sorry he is 9 weeks old and we got him from the breeder a day or two shy of 8 wks. Thanks for the advice I'll keep at it and have pics soon

Ranger351

So then what age should I crate train and what should I do with the dog when I need to go somewhere that he can not be taken. Note he is never left alone for more than an hour or two at max and is always played with and ran prior to any time in the crate. I have left him in my kitchen and had it blo...

Ranger351

Ok so I have had dogs before and some pointer mixes as well. This is my first GSP and he is 8 wks old. I am struggling with crate training. All of my other dogs have just went in no problem at all but this one cries and goes crazy the instant he is either in his crate or if I leave him alone. I am l...
