I'm currently using Odoban which seems to be doing good. Sealing the concrete will help but you have to do something about runoff. Lyme works great for this but since I started using Odoban, I stopped using Lyme.

I have had good results using the Seresto collars and I live on a lake in deep south east Texas. Zero fleas or ticks on any dog for over 2 years now. The package says that they last 8 months but I only replace them every January. Sorry, I have no experience with Bravecto but I see no reason to chang...

My recovery drink has over twice the fat content of Purina PP while adding other nutrients and great taste to promote hydration. It also contains as much Protein derived from meat but is easier to digest. And yes, I can see an improvement in recovery but have never seen any downfall...Sometimes what...

Labs by far followed by GSP's and Britts. It really depends on the area and local clubs though.

I would have jumped out of the boat out of pure reflex.. As for this dog park issue, if you are afraid to take your dog there, then your dog is not socialized enough. I have been to dog parks from California to New York and never had a problem.... I respect others opinion but I have never seen an in...

The thing about rattlesnake bites is that they are highly variable in how much venom is injected. One can't know in the field if a dog got a "dry" bite (with no venom injected), or a very severe bite, or something in between. Either way one is going to end up at the Vet. Bill YES they still have to...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Biggest problem im running into is the whole "limited registration" thing. And all these breeders have 3 pages of "puppy applications", with all kinds of crazy rules you have to follow after you by the dog. Sheesh, do you want to sell me a dog or dont you?! Always seemed ridiculous to me so I just ...

I know of 4 dogs that were bitten by Southern Pacific Rattlers that had been vaccinated and all fared better then the ones who weren't. It may even help with Mojavi's because they will breed with Diamond Backs and produce both Neuro and Hemo Venoms. It wont help with Moccasins though but you don't h...

Who owns Jester? Sorry I forgot your screen name.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I am honored to have met him and own one of his Dogs. Godspeed brother.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I cant "free feed" my dogs at any age. They would be severely over weight and may bloat or twist their stomach or cause fights if one walks away. It also depends on the feed as to how much you feed. Calories in = Calories out. 2- 2/12 cups should be plenty. Heck my 55lb active males only get that mu...

The first time my very good backing bitch seen a small French Brittney on point, she totally ignore it. Looked like she did not recognize it. I do not know how you would do a honoring set up alone. Some dogs will do it the first time they see it but some will not..............Cj I never said to tra...

If your goal is an MH Title then train for it and don't spend (waste) your money on lesser Titles. You can gain a lot more experience spending your time and money training. If you are training alone, that is untrue. You just cannot set up a simulated test by yourself. Not true! My 1st Hunt Test eve...

They see yellows blues and white best. Orange will most likely be yellow but it still stands out. NO THEY ARE NOT COLOR BLIND. Sorry to burst your bubble but do some research.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Dogs are not color blind. They see more than black and white. Therefore, a blaze orange marker will stand out like a sore thumb when mixed among greens and browns.

You can find 1 Year old GSP's out of great bloodlines for the cost of shipping, I did.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Last time I shipped a Dog it was $300 from Canada to South Texas. The cost of shipping is probably the cheapest part of owning a dog.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I believe that every Dog deserves the chance to succeed but this Dog needs to go into your local Rescue Group. The Breeder (if you can call them that) should refund you and you go get a puppy from a good breeder.

If I was near you, I would take it in.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

You are not describing a "started dog'" but rather a rescue since multiple homes have owned it.... RED FLAG. You should not have been charged that much and should have been told of the dogs history. That dog is not even Socialized. Call the Breeder and discuss your issues but don't get a puppy from ...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I know that many will disagree with me, and I know there are exceptions to every rule, but here is the advice that I give when someone asks me about buying a pointer or setter of any kind. "If you talk to someone that has puppies for sale, and they say that the puppies are AKC registered, do not wa...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Wasn't trying to be perfect but your lack of breeds doesn't give much confidence. I have no idea of what a Visla or Vishla is. Read my name to figure it out. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Who is the Breeder?

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Use the Higging technique. Worked great for my Setter. A lot easier than the Visla in the vid. Got the leash from Higgims on the web site. I've done AKC obedience stuff. I have experience. The Higgins leash is the best by far. So easy! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I3FEQcCY1E0 http://higginsgundogs....

Tuff Paws for the pads or anything else that is based on "tincture of Benzoin' (SP)? It is a preventative measure and BURNS like crazy on open wounds but if used as suggested, is very helpful.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I use K9 Super Fuel when I make my dogs work hard. Yes, it makes a difference.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Feed it what ever you want. Forget the label as many "high performance " feeds are also listed for Puppies.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

EVERYTHING stops during FF. NO Hunting Or any other training.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

$80k dog, wow... That's a low ball figure :( Using your formula for worth, the poorer the dog, the more training it takes, the more it is worth. Just don't think dogs or much of anything else is priced that way. My old truck is getting to the point it is worth more than a new one. Interested in buy...

Based on?

I am sure the V market is different, but I don't think Shadowoak Bo would bring that and his stud fees and pups are $3,000+.

What is your stud fee?

So what is the high ball number?

How much did it cost to get Bo? To There ?

I have turned my dogs loose in parks all over this country with no problem ever. From California to New York and many states in between. Sometimes its the only way to burn energy off these dogs that travel between cities. Heck I ran a Trial, took the same dog to Westminster and had to run another Tr...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I agree with Neil, too late for hunting. Once I know that she is pregnant, I think about her and the pups.

I like Chewys and Petflow. Petflow is giving an extra 12% off of your 1st order right now.

These tests were done on areas that have been the hardest hit areas by drought. Coincidence? I think not. Ranches that I hunted 20yrs ago produced limits and I didn't even have dogs then. Now Ive been training year round for the past 2yrs and haven't run into a single wild Quail. I actually see less...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I hope this doesn't come out wrong but why limit yourself? Pick what you want and have it shipped?

Welcome to the forum though.

Sprained tail. Had it many times. They wag their tails so much that they become sore.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Looks like the High Desert? Cali?

Brazosvalleyvizslas

The simple answer is yes, Dogs can have more gas on some foods more than others. Monster has it right.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Eating birds is a discipline problem not a lack of food problem. You are already feeding twice as much as I give my high food driven dogs and I have never had one actually eat a bird. Just my opinion but feed for condition and train for field manners.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

There is stuff called Motility Plus that has worked on 2 of my dogs who after 6 weeks went from non-breedable to excellent. Its not a big enough research group but a top Repro Vet was the one who told me to try it.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Dogs always show signs that they are ready for an attack and their ancestor the wolf as well. Showing teeth is just one example. :) This is not true at all. They don't always show any sign that its about to be on. In fact , the serious fights that shags labeled as "nuclear" are almost NEVER shown i...

No argument but I have been down the road enough times to know that we cant avoid dogs that somehow decide to try to kill each other.

It's a mixed breed (they think st bernard, golden retriever, and rotweiler). He's very laid back and is not very active. My GSP will kind of stalk him around the living room and then when he gets close he will start growling and snap at him (usually doesnt bite but sometimes does) for a few seconds...

I have dogs that no matter how much they have been worked, they are still A "menace" when not being worked. That has nothing to do with conditioning. Maybe I misread the OP though.
