It hurts but I gotta agree with Ezzy. Recovery is VERY similar reguardless of species.

One of the first commands that my Dogs learn is the Sit/Stay. Never had a problem.

I trapped them for a living. It is just a myth that they "lure" a bigger animal into water ....

I agree with this, the Dog will adjust.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Brave woman but Coons don't "lure" things into water to kill them, its their last chance of survival, they basically have their backs against the wall and are in flight or fight mode. No different then having a back to your wall. Myths continue though.

1 month at trainer wont accomplish anything that you cant do yourself at that age anyway. My problem is one of equipment, access to birds, and a place to shoot over him One month wont change any of that with most V's. You can do all of the yard work (obed) and any good Trainer wouldn't want to take...

My pup is steady to flush at 7.5 months. Right now the trainer has us working on steady to shot. I am completely new to all of this and had no idea where the dog should be at this point in training. The trainer had to explain all of this to me. He suggested i go to junior hunter with her. I have no...

I have owned and trained many Vizsla's over the years and they are VERY adaptive to their environment. Don't mistake the term "Velcro dog" as a sign of weakness. Heck, they were bred in Hungary and survived 2 world wars. :D They are biddable, loyal and affectionate but will thrive in many situations...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

IMO, very few Dogs are ready to even consider "breaking" at 11 months. Continue working with the Dog and it will tell you when its ready... Forget if the Dog caught any birds! Let the Dog mature first.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

With today's e-collars I can continue to train as I hunt. It really doesn't matter what the other dogs do or don't do, they are held to the level they have attained. Occasionally I have to pass up a shot or two, but for the most part I just hunt. If my dog starts to act confused or lack confidence ...

There are human grade products that you can add to your current food and they can pack on weight.... Good weight. K9 Superfuel (as well as others) added to their water after they run has always helped my hard keepers. It works better than just increasing the amount of food. I would still test for wo...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

OK so a simple Google search for "pointing Lab hunt tests" will still yield some info. I know of nothing about retrievers competing with Pointers though.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I just did a simple Google search and there are several links in Michigan for testing Retrievers.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

The AKC hosts Hunt Tests. Have you looked into local clubs?

Brazosvalleyvizslas

And the Dog is pregnant? STOP!!!!!!

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I agree with feeding less if you are doing everything you can do to exercise the dog. It doesn't take much to simply keep the dog active. "Mind" exercises can work a lot of calories off of a dog with very little effort from the owner.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

I would talk to Charley Rose at Wildrose GSP's who uses some of the most top producing Field Champions in Texas. (US). My GSP is out of similar lines and works well with my Vizsla's but I think your better off sticking with the same breed. What is your GSP's breeding?

Brazosvalleyvizslas

No need to wait, training starts from day1. Each individual dog will dictate how much pressure it can take but there are many things that can be worked on without "professional" help. Where did you get your V from?

The question was simple but we have answered with everything including "Obomacare"? Really? Lets just stick to answering the OP's question and leave al of the politics out of it. Drama Queens.

I'm looking to get my GSP some real work. I live in the Bay Area but I'm willing to drive a bit. Anybody have any recommendations for someone that does good work?

Wish the shots worked on Mojave Green rattlers. Ran into to 2 in one week at my home. Big fat ugly and some don't rattle. That is a scary snake but the vaccine can still help since the Mojave can have a mix of Hemo and Neurotoxin venom because they will mate with Westerns. The shot does not work on...

It looks like they are still doing business so I would call your credit card company and dispute the charges.

I think we all prefer game birds, but game birds are not always readily available to everyone. Where I live it's a 2 hour hike up a mountain to get into game birds, if they feel like showing up that day, and to buy birds is $20. per bird. Pigeons can teach your dog a lot and save a few bucks. I pay...

Thanks but you don't need to. I did what any one would or should do when you are blessed to live in a place where people gave their lives to create, it is just a duty that we all should accept if we are to keep and pass on the freedom we often take for granted. Spoken like a true Hero. Luckily, I g...

Although it didn't live up to its potential, neither should have been DQ'd. That's ridiculous. They took turns of being afraid and glad for it. Neither carried the fight, neither took any risks.

It wont help with Moccasins or Coral snakes but it does help with others. My dogs have not shown any side effects.
I would also recommend a snake breaking clinic.

Tuff Pads, ( tincture of Benzoin) will strengthen the pads and mushers wax will keep them from cracking. Its not all about breeding.

Hi there, new to gundog. I recently got a 9 week old GSP from Bonas Kennels in Indiana. I've dealt with labs and flat-coated retriever pups in the past but they were both nearly 4 months old when I got them, so a little different. My "problem" is the 20% of the time that she decides not just to be ...

The advice to collar the dog and take him on is good. But for those trying to applying this to a trial situation, if I am judging, sticks and stones are not going to cut it, nor will a half- hearted flushing attempt. You had best get down there, run about, kicking energetically. If you can't show m...

NAVDHA trainers will help you to train. That's a good group to join. That depends on the Chapter... The SoCal Chapter is full of a bunch of Idiots (same with East Texas) that will ruin dogs faster than any novice. I would go observe first without your dog and watch what they do. I took a new owner ...

I believe that the loss of hormones leads to weaker muscles and Tendons which makes the dog more prone to injuries. Just my thoughts.
