My vet said the same thing and chalked it up to food. I was feeding quality food. I tried to switch to something cheaper and within a week noticed her coat was not as shiny or soft so I went right back and it went back to normal. It is a very good possibility that genetics play a part in this equati...

Can you post some pictures? I am a first time GSP owner and she looks very skinny to me but I know she is suppose to be like this. Pictures will let some of these guys that have been working with dogs all their life, let you know their opinion. I fed my dog blue buffalo up until recently. She did we...

ACooper, JWnissen, Buckeyebowamn, Are you speaking of tie downs to the back of your pick up or an SUV? Pickups have locations in the bed for tie downs, but the SUV appears to be more problematic. What is your experience with this? Thornapple Sorry, can't help you with the SUV. If the rear seat come...

+1 I use 2 ratchet straps, one to suck it down to the bed and the other one to suck it into the cab.

Have recently started using eukanuba premium performance and am really happy with the results. Its the same food RJ uses. She is actually doing better on this than the expensive blue buffalo I use to feed her.

She is all business in the field. Being my first bird dog, it's fascinates me to see her switch from pet to hunter.

Kind of an odd question but I thought I would ask a question that I have been thinking about for a while.My shorthair is 15 months old and ever since I have had her, she has had a thing for putting her butt up against me or standing between my legs. When we are playing or I am standing around, she w...

Sounds odd, but my friend has an older dog that just started peeing on the entertainment center for no reason. They did some reasearch into reasons and ran across diabetes. They took him to the vet and sure enough, he has diabetes and is mostly blind, from the diabetes, which they didnt know. Just s...

I took mine out every 30 minutes or so when she was really young. Then I started to notice that when she had to go to the bathroom she would start smelling around and that I only had 5-10 seconds to scoop her up and take her outside. I just really kept on her and every time I took her out I told her...

and have an attorney send a nice letter demanding payment. +1 That is really bad and his mistake. I would definitely talk to a lawyer an get all your money back and pay for the attorney!! Document everything with witnesses and have them sign and date it. That is awful and I hope your dog is doing b...

Even with my sprinklers watering once a day, there are still a lot of dead spots in the yard. I don't have a really big yard, so it is all concentrated in one area. I have heard there are supplements to give dogs to neutralize their urine and not kill the grass. Just looking to give the yard every a...

jwnissen

I know there are a few products out there to give your female so that the urine doesn't destroy your grass. So I figured I would reach out to all of you experienced dog owners out there. What product do you give to your dogs and where do you get it? Thanks

5-10 flakes per pan is pretty good. Where in Washington are you located?

jwnissen

I did some prospecting back in college. I was looking toward a degree in geology so it was right up my alley. I really enjoyed it, but didnt find anything but a few flakes. My step dad just moved to Idaho and going to get into panning a little more so I am thinking about getting back into it again. ...

I did some puppy training through petco and we did some clicker training. It worked at first then it was just about the treats. Good luck.

Her mom died when she was 9 days old from complications to the births. As soon as she was eating solid food, we picked her up. Not ideal I know.

Yes she was a little gunshy and I told him that. He kept pushing her instead of backing off and going slow.

Just got my shorthair back from RJ of quicksilver kennels in Moses lake Wa and I have to say he is every bit as good as I was told. My dog was pretty messed up from 10 weeks of training with another trainer, long story, but he managed to shoot over her in just 3 weeks. After 5 weeks, she is gunbroke...

I have seen $20hr in eastern Washington.

If you are referring to someone who lives in the states, the answer is yes. As long as they have a resident alien card. I sell quite a few guns to people who only need a drivers license and their alien card.

Re-enlistment bonus for experienced Special Ops troops at the time was $100,000.hmmm. They also go straight to the front of the line for disability so there are many holes in this story. I agree. To be a SEAL you have to be an intelligent person. The thing that baffles me about this story is the in...

jwnissen

Just keep in mind that brass is softer than steel and wont score the inside of your gun. Steel on steel, will eventually damage your gun. If you only shoot a few boxes you should be fine. Just my 2 cents. I will never shoot any steel cases in any of my guns unless it is a life or death situation and...

you need to go to the local law enforcement and ask them. There are certain states, utah that I know of, that their conceal carry permits are recognized in 34 states. I would start there. you will have to get a few permits if you plan to travel and carry in other states. I paid $55 for mine. Not sur...

The worst part is that the guy who shot him is an army vet who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and suffered from mental illness. It kills me as a fellow vet to know that someone like Chris Kyle did so much for our country and survived missions we don't even know about only to be shot at a gun range d...

I had this same question when I was looking for a trainer. All of this is good advice but this is what I didn't catch onto until it was already too late. I had to choose between 2 well known and highly recommended trainers. I chose the one that was $150 a month cheaper. We met him and we really like...

I am interested in trying to get some of this food. Do you have any distributors in the Northwest? I talked to my local feed store and they said that unless there is a distributor nearby, its not worth them paying shipping. Are there any brochures that I can take to them? PM me if you need more info...

Would really like to see calcium /phosphorus listed on the label of the puppy food. Common issue I have and why I am so picky......] The Calcium level is 1.44% and Phosphorus is .97%. Recommended levels of cal/pho are 1.0% to 1.8% cal and .80% to 1.6% pho and at a 1.5 to 1 ratio. Great! That's what...

I think the worst point about owning shorthairs is their high pain tolerance and energy level!! Mine has had some pretty bad cuts on her feet and it was almost impossible to keep her down. I considered asking the vet for tranquilizers at one time just to take the edge off. It looks like you have you...

I am curious to see what people think. Is there a website or some more info on the company? Is it a new company or has it been in business for a while? I will wait to see what the people who have had dogs for decades think, since im fairly new to the game. The price is definitely right, so if a lot ...

You said waterfowl gun...the escort in 3 1/2" is about $650. I like them because they are light and have rubber strips that run down the stock for grip and some other nice safety features.

jwnissen

Hard to beat a remington 870 for around $350!! As far as autos, all mentioned above are great. Stoeger is an awsome auto for the price. Another good one is an escort made in turkey and imported through legacy arms international for about $500. I sell quite a few of those and heard nothing bad. My on...

Instead of the ruger P95, look at the ruger SR9 and SR40. about $100 more and much better quality, lighter and thinner. Ruger just announced that they are now making an SR45 if you want a .45. I am not a fan of glock because they don't fit my hands but they are awesome guns and thousands of law enfo...

Again, it depends on what you want to use it for. I have been selling guns for a couple years at one of the biggest gun dealers in my area. I sell a huge amount of handguns on a weekly basis, especially right now. I have seen a lot of really good guns posted on here but I don't remember seeing what ...

I really like and have carried Benchmade knives for 8 years. Free sharpening for life and they hold an edge for a long time and are extremely sharp. They bought them for us when I was active duty in the Coast Guard. I used them everyday, and abused them, and I still have one of my original knives I ...

So it must be windows 8. I logged onto my old laptop and everything worked fine. Not sure if this is going to create more work for you, but its the only thing it an be.

Do you mind telling logging out and logging back in and seeing if NEW POSTS change for you?

I mean like how unread TOPICS or with new POSTS appear RED instead of black. The little red square next to the new posts are still red, even after reading them. I read everything in the view new post tab. Usually when I am done reading the post, it automatically turns black. Im not doing anything d...

Instead of getting everyone's favorite food, because I know there is a lot of opinions, is there anyone out there who has fed blue buffalo in the past and switched to something else? Was there any change in their coat and performance? I have tried eagle pack in the past and did not like how she did ...

jwnissen

Diamond Extreme Athlete has been good for my Vizslas and GSP. I switched from Blue Buffalo Wilderness for the same reason. The higher fat content in the EA gives a boost in the energy department. I pay $1 per pound. Looks like an awesome food, anyone else use it? I think the higher fat content woul...

Are the changes why it no longer changes the red box next to a post to a black after you are done reading it? I thought I was going crazy!! Now I have to look for the post I just read instead of a color :roll:

Looking at a possible food change for my 15 month old GSP. I currently feed blue buffalo and am looking for other options that are a little less in price, but I don't want to sacrifice quality.

Mine seems to dig when she is bored and hasn't been exercised, even when she gets pissed at me. I fill all of her holes up with poop and after 4 of 5 holes, she rarely digs anymore. Mainly just scratches off the to layers of grass. Gooduck and supervise her more when she I outside. Mine digs when my...

Lucy will not cross a fence unless I'm there. Sometimes it's a PITA, but she will never get cut by wire. She doesn't have feet problems either.......... How did you teach her that?

Dan Hoke of Dunfur kennels is just outside of Spokane. I have personally seen him working with labs and seen labs that he has finished. He mainly does pointing dogs but can train labs.

I sell guns so I get this question all the time. Sme things to consider is what you are going to use the gun for, how familiar you are with pistols, and how much you want to spend. If you are going to carry it then get something small that you can hide. If you are not familiar with autos then get a ...
