I always thought it was best to have them from a puppy to bond with you but our first GSP was 10 months old when we got him. It was great because he was already house broke, had his NAVHDA NA Prize 1, with a 112, so we knew he had what he needed for a hunting dog, plus he had a FT puppy derby point ...

It is $100.00 for a 1 year membership, you can train there as often as you like during that year plus hunt during the preserve season, paying for birds of course. If you are going...

Our lab tore hers when she was just over a year old. This was over 10 years ago, my husband took her to Denver to have theTPLO done, we live in SW Iowa. She came through fine and never had a problem with it or her other legs. And she was not your typical lab, our friends called her the anti-lab! She...

I have a hard time with the 57F thing. We missed dosing our lab 1 month in the fall and he got heart worm. I know the temps got below 57F. Also the treatment is hard on them. He was a just over a year when it happen and not a large lab, 65-70 lbs, and only lived to be 10 before his organs shut down....

WTG! I have never coyote hunted and probably never will but I sure DO NOT have a problem with others doing it. I also would not have a problem shooting one if it presented it self when I was out hunting! We were out deer hunting yesterday and the spot that was full of deer 2 weeks ago had very few f...

We have 2 intac males and 2 females, one spayed, in the house. We have never had a problem with them marking in the house even when the one female is in heat. Can't say we did anything to prevent it they are just housebroke. A side note - We had a female lab that would mark over a males mark, it was...

Good luck with your pup. I was wondering what color the AKC and NAVHDA registered your pup as since Tri-colored is not a choice?
Thanks

High Voltage

Makes you wonder if they were running in their sleep before they went on point

High Voltage

You can run a neutered or spayed dog in NAVHDA.

I am with Doug on waiting to neuter.

I checked with a friend that is a judge and she said there is no set distance because it depends on how far the bird goes. I know for the ones I've done and watched it seems like they go at least 50-75 yards. Another thing don't worry if she doesn't keep her nose to the ground, she's not a bloodhoun...

Pull some feathers from the chest and place them where you are starting the drag. Rub the bird on the feathers and a few inches past the way that you are going to let it loose or drag it.

Good looking pup! Sounds like she'll have a very full, fun filled life! She reminds me of our "pointing" lab that passed away almost 4 years ago. She was only about 55 LBS and a lot of people would comment on how small she was but she could sure out last their big dogs :) I wish I had pics of her to...

Our dogs are house dogs but are in an outside kennel/run when we are gone. Our pigeon coop and duck pen are right across from the dog runs and in an area the dogs can get to when they are in the yard. They soon learn that they can't get to them and they just ignore them. Doesn't seem to stop them fr...

We use the liquid but squirt it onto a piece of bread or a bun and then toss it to the dog. They think they are getting a treat and the 4 of them line up for it

The only problem is whenever we get into the breadbag they think they are getting a treat
