have you dewormed him?? i would try deworming him before anything else..people sometimes forget dogs need to be dewormed not just young pups..i think 6 cups is too much and increasing the food more and more is only going to cause another issue like diarrhea and gas..this might just be more of a medi...

despite all the nasty rain here we managed to get harley (3 months) out on some pigeons for some training with the starter pistol..one of the best things about this forum, besides the helpful info and advice is sharing pics...thanks for looking, ruth... http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb453/Ruth...

Mossberg 835 3.5" with a Modified choke and get the dogs to work. Cheap to start and maybe a couple decoys. Shorthairs will do this too. thats how we do it :twisted: ...ruth http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb453/Ruth_Baillargeon/HPIM0887.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb453/Ruth_Bailla...

I hate that the quail and pheasant population has been trending down, but this morning the skies around my house were black with geese! Within 3 miles of my house, I probably saw 10,000 geese and 300 ducks. It sure would be nice to have a similar comeback of the upland species. Same here, we have a...

We use KONG beds from petsmart..they are guaranteed for life (just keep your receipt) they are great durable beds for in the house..in a kennel the KURANDAs are by far the best ive seen or heard about, we are buying them for our kennels when we move...ruth http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?p...

I gave my pup raw hide once and it made him go nuts. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to last a couple hours at least and he took it down in about 5 minutes and then proceeded search every nook and cranny in my house looking for more. It was like he was possessed. Of course I had this romantic vision ...

I like her. I grew up with ...

John Bradshaw's recent book "Dog Sense" is an interesting read. SO tired of hearing people stating how important it is to be "Alpha," although I will posit that's more for the individual's self-esteem (or lack thereof) than the dog's benefit. well i have an open mind and you caught my curiosity wit...

we always get raw knuckle bones from the butcher and buy rawhides, smoked bones as well as kong toys from petsmart and im curious how many of you give your dogs bones, rawhides, chew toys ect to pass time or help with teeth ect..i had a friend over today that has a shorthair that is 3 years old and ...

JH is fun and a good way to get into Tests, etc and if you like it then progress to the next level. Not much pressure on the handler and dog and a good pair of judges will help you understand what you should and shouldn't be doing. Having someone signal where the birds are in a JH test (or any test...

Very true joe, not only those hunting with you but others out hunting in the area you are in..my husband and i took the dogs out yesterday with a friend of ours and his lab and we heard shots, next thing we know 3 deer came running out not too far from us, thank god our dogs dont chase or we would h...

i have gone threw this more times then i can count with dogs (i rescue) and by your post i think some of the issues you are having may be lack of socialization, exposure to sounds and/or objects and possibly how you introduce or react to these things when around the pup..you may think youve done eno...

not trying to pick a fight but some of you need to read the navhda rules and aims book pg 11 and 12 they clearly state that a dog ran in the na test should have some level of training . they dont want to see a broke dog but at very least the dog should be introduced to birds and gun fire. i have to...

I am not a big fan of the AKC hunt tests. The few JH tests I have seen involved a walk around a back course and then pointing a bird in a bird field. It was lame. 80% of the dogs that passed were not hunting dogs...mostly show dogs being "legitimized" by the owner. The whole hunt test series needs ...

GUNDOGS

Any time someone on this forum mentions a JH it is more or less mentioned in passing or almost looked down upon by folks. You see a ton of comments about how a JH is more or less a joke. On the flip side when someone gets their NA especially a prize 1 it seems like that is some feat to be respected...

i have owned or had my kids around friends that owned GSP'S, setters, britts, english pointers and weims but never been around a GWP and i would say as far as having 2 young children it can depend on the individual dog not necessarily the breed as they all have the ability to be tolerant and great w...

txgsp, The question is how much are you feeding the dog per day? With the new Blue Buffalo food are you portion feeding or free feeding? I feed him 3 cups in the morning and 3 cups at night. He sometimes eats it all and sometimes doesn't. He's not around his food all day so it's not free feeding. M...

Handlers clinic, eh? May have to find out if there are any in the near future.

UPDATE: Frio is doing fine with the blankets... His "big boy" crate came in today so I will probably keep him in there whenever we can go get it picked up. Also, on a side note, we went for a walk last night (on leash, I live in the suburbs) but it was in a partially developed neighborhood. Althoug...

I say go for it. I hope to UT this fall as well. Have him steadied up right now and is 75% in the field while hunting and better than 95% while training. He has really figured out the "game" of train vs. hunt at this time. Going to FF this winter in the basement when I have a 2 month period of no b...

I found this site among others who are crossing labs and shorthairs as "hybrids" (read the bottom of the page) so i was wondering, is it possible if you then take one of those pups in that hybrid litter and breed it back to a GSP wouldnt you possibly get a lemon shorthair?? the reason i ask is if yo...

loved your post, makes perfect sense to ask the questions and im interested to see the help you receive..NAVHDA is the way to go for help in person for sure.. for me, reading is good but being shown things in person is much better and NAVHDA training days can provide grounds that will allow you to p...

I would often buy a package of Uncle Sam's Bull Wrinkles during my shopping trips to Publix as a a bit of a treat for "Da Boyz" as they were made in the US and at ~ $5.00 for 5 x 6" wrinkles, it wasn't a bad deal. Well, I was going to buy some yesterday and for some reason I decided to read the bac...

There is only so much one can write on a forum. We can only describe our own interactions and findings. My interactions with dogs has led me to somewhat different views, but as a whole, in agreement with the paper. Have you ever met a mentally stable, dominant dog? They are confident and secure and...
