I have never had a female spayed & my foundation female was over 15 when she passed I have a daughter of hers she will be 14 in Oct & I have seen no negative effects.I see no reason to spay or neuter.I have a male,an older brother to my 14 yr old to be female he will be 15 next month & still looks &...

That is my point a hot wire to keep dogs away from those things is a little different then keeping them away from birds.Have you ever heard of dogs blinking birds?
Your dog your choice just not wise in my eyes.

Vonzeppelinkennels

My thoughts also ANDY!! The reason you own a bird dog is to be AROUND birds ISN"T IT?

Vonzeppelinkennels

This is one of the reasons I like this line of GSPS I own & breed.My 2 foundation dogs ACE & Ginger lived long healthy lives only needing Vet Care for accidents.Ace lived a couple mos past 13 & Ginger a couple mos past 15. I still have a daughter Wendy will be 14 this coming Oct. & a son Major will ...

Both the dogs Star & Storm are shooting dogs.They both have or are running ! hr SD CH competitively.Star was a BIG SD that hurt herself in AKC GD stakes by running TOO BIG when birds were hard to come by.She was retired the day she finished her FC because a shoulder injury.She was a Tweener! Storm i...

I have trialed 2 dogs since I started trials in 2005 I picked both those pups as they came out of the shoot so to speak. Star was the first she is FC Vonzeppelins Distant Star,Storm was the 2nd he just needs his retrieving points to finish his FC.Maybe I was lucky but I believe about half the pups i...

They are as useless as used toilet paper unless you want to spend more then it's worth!! I wouldn't buy from anyone having any kind of contract even just using their kennel name,nor would I sell to any one asking for one. I have no worries as & will probably never purchase another dog I have enough ...

I believe the stake out is the easiest on both the trainer & the dog as it takes the trainer completely out of the picture & the pup learns that he can't win the tug of war.The pup doesn't fight the trainer he is now fighting the stake out only. An hour or 2 a day on the stake out for a few days wil...

Joe,Cindy & Daisey BIG CONGRATS!

Vonzeppelinkennels

Congrats to all involved!

I think Jerry may have had one of those senior moments that us old folk have once in a while.

Vonzeppelinkennels

We use to raise & show Dobes,I've been to far more dog shows then F Trials though I prefer the later.I have now owned more GSPS & for yrs longer then we owned Dobes. People were scared to death of the dobes until they got to know them,as a breed IMO they are big babies & the majority of them were gu...

Thanks for your post it made me remember a special moment in the field.

Vonzeppelinkennels

That reminds me of a dog I had that ran up on top of a shed roof that had collapsed to the ground.A friend & I were training on a pheasant farm yrs ago & he hollered at me to come look he said what is she doing I said she's on point he said no way what is she pointing,I climbed up enough to look ins...

Could be several things picked up for making a mistake,being gone to long or lost.or picked up by the handler because it's not getting the job done,or beating the dogs the judges have in their notes.

BIG CONGRATS!! To Jake,Hank,Dan,& all others involved.

Vonzeppelinkennels

To some everything is about the money & if guiding upland hunts is for the money first & foremost I doubt your clients will enjoy it much! The best guides are ones that enjoy the dogs,their clients,& the hunt,any monetary rewards are just icing on the cake so to speak. :D Not pointing any fingers bu...

Sent you a PM.

Nike call name Sneakers or Oxford call name Ox.

Vonzeppelinkennels

I think just the opposite is true of upland & big game.The hunters are the only reason we still have game animals left,we have brought back the deer,turkies,& helped many other species.if not for us there would be even less upland birds to hunt we are the ones that fight for all wild species & their...

Ranger is a very well put together dog & I recognize his breeding lines almost every time I see it. Here is one of mine from the same kind of lines on the sire side.My avatar dog also from those sire lines a little farther back. In all I have counted 10 dogs in this thread that have came from or are...

You should have put some Road Apples down beside the different feeds might have had different results!!

Looks like you had an enjoyable morning hunt John.Those pics remind me of the days we use to have quail when I started with bird dogs in 74 before the blizzards of 77 &78.I use to be able to go out my door in any direction jump a fence or 2 make a big circle & shoot my limit of 6 almost anytime I wa...

Glad to hear you are pleased with your dog,he will only get better with experience.I'm sure Udder Butter would do the trick but Bag Balm just seems to go better with them.

Have a GREAT season!!

Vonzeppelinkennels

No pun intended but try Bag Balm.

OSD should finish today.

Nice dog Greg but is expected from Walnuthills they only breed nice dogs. Remek has been changed to http://www.fieldtrialdatabase.com You can find placements for all AKC dogs there just click dog search check the breed & give dogs reg name or the owners name click & if spelled right you will find it...

Sure because criminals do everything LEGAL!! :roll:

Sounds like you taught him to heel before letting him run & explore on his own & become independent.You now have to forget heel & put him into as many birds as possible to get him fired up hopefully. Once you have him running & hunting on his own then you can go back to heel if you feel it's necessa...

Please do keep us updated as much as possible Rob,it's much appreciated!

My vet sutures the puppies when done at 3 or 4 days old,never had a bald one yet but seen some on other pups & dogs.Most only get one or two stitches but once in a while 3 or 4,just depends on the pups tail. If they are still pups I wouldn't re dock them might be surprised as how they grow into them...

You have every right to celebrate!

Just for your info on the asking game wardens,from my experience some times they are as confused about the game laws as they try to keep the public.A couple examples from my & others experience.Several yrs back we use to have an early ML deer season & the then game warden from that county said if yo...

You brought it up in this thread didn't you? Right thing to do because you say so? I DON"T THINK SO!

I'm just curious as to Why it's the RIGHT THING to do? :roll:
