When I run any event sponsored by the AKC, the results go to the AKC for approval first. They issue the titles.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

AKC has no license to set the conformation standards and their only responsibility is to uphold the standards the breed club sets. Who mentioned a license? I was talking about AKC events and how every breed that I have seen would get excused for improper bite. I think I even mentioned that it would...

So im looking at upcoming breeding looking for a new gsp puppy. I came across one that looks pretty good both parents have hunting titles on them. Both come from well know kennels. I did some research and found the dam has a butt bite . My question's are 1. why would a well known breeder breed a do...

Umm, the OP lives on a Military Base so shooting a snake is a dumb idea unless you want your hubbies career ended. Putting up a barrier is also not an option and potions such as Lyme don't work. I'm sure that she could call someone that has experience to come out to check the area...

I would answer you but you wouldn't accept it anyway so just believe it as no one is trying to make a poor feed. I'll consider any scientific study you can provide as evidence that corn gluten meal is a superior protein source than the animal based protein concentrates. Most corporations do not set...

Always check abebooks.com for reasonable prices on old books. Or pristine first editions at big dollars. If you enjoy Ruark ( and who doesn't?) check out the lessor known Bob Brister. Neil, are you talking about the Bob Brister from Texas? I shot with a name by that same name in Sporting Clays for ...

You can get just about any brand you want shipped to your door from Chewy.com or Petflow.com. Orders over $50 ship for free and I find no harder to store 40lbs vs 18lb.

But it does reduce the effects. I do agree that an emergency visit is required but calling it useless is absurd especially since I have actually seen a difference. I don't know where this "95%" number comes from but Having had dogs bit in the face, some before having the vaccine and others after, e...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

How about actual experience? Does that count? The actual experience shows about 95% of dogs who are treated for snakebites survive. The "vaccine" doesn't change that one iota. Either way, a snakebite means a emergency run to a vet. Bill But it does reduce the effects. I do agree that an emergency v...

That is a "claim," but there is no evidence to support that claim.

The main reason there are not any studies is because of public would go crazy if somebody was killing dogs to prove it worked. IE a control group I have friends that use it and have dogs that have been bitten and they believe it worked. I also have many friends and myself whose dogs have been vacci...

You must not be doing it correctly. Like I said before. It's mother nature and not the end of the world. Dumber words have never been spoken. Odds are very high that Mother Nature has nothing to do with this. If you can prove she did than I will eat my words but its usually a human that starts thes...

How do you know the AKC wants it to continue? I see no possible reason for them to want that since all they do is keep the studbook for the breed club. Take a look on AKC website ezzy in the classifieds or whatever it is. There is a litter on there of silvers, champagnes and some other weird colour...

Gotcha Brother. I guess I mis-read you also.

Sometimes people become unable to take care of their pets. I have a GSP that I took from a dying man and someone took my Sisters dog when she stroked out. Its not always because of bad ownership.... I might have agreed with that statement years ago but now there are so many resources to take a dog ...

I haven't heard that the AKC recognizes the diff between yellow and "fox red". I cant tell you how many AKC events that I have been to including several Westminsters and never saw a Red Lab. I guess I will stick to black. Sorry you haven't seen one. They used to be quite common years ago when yello...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Huh? How is Fox Red Yellow? Fox yellow is referred to in the breed standard. Silver is a disqualification, at least according to the breed club who is suppose to set the standard, AKC feels differently and is giving the middle finger to the breed club. "Yellow - Yellows may range in color from fox-...

Bill[/quote] Once again you are talking about a different subject than what is being discussed.

This got fired up again because a judge, at an akc show, gave a silver lab a placement and a ribbon instead of a dq for not meeting breed standards. That "judge" should be removed. Fox Red is not a recognized color...Black, Yellow or Chocolate. Fox Red is Yellow. The silver they are talking about h...

OP, you can go East to San Bernardino or North to Red Mountain. It is mostly Chukar and can be tough but is probably the closest to you. There is a pretty cheap "canned" hunt in Chino, CA if you just want to run your Dog. You can even do "clean ups" for less. (rpclub.com). PS, as long as your gun is...

Brazosvalleyvizslas

The AKC doesn't want it to continue otherwise they would recognize those colors. Black, yellow and chocolate are the only colors and anything else gets dismissed.

Does NEF have a lifetime warranty that goes to an actual Gunsmith if needed (independent)?

The AKC supports a Junior Handler Program but there is no age limit that I can find. I would call the Performance Division to make sure.

Not sure how it happened, but my 11mo GSP broke her lower left K9. Can't see any fractures running down the tooth. Going to the vet tomorrow for a look and options. What is everyone's experience with this, first time I've had it happen? If there are fractures and it has to be removed, how will it e...

Hello Roe90, There is no way to make a dog like being locked in a kennel box for 8+ hours a day. She has associated you and the kennel box with abandonment and long hours of being uncomfortable. Any way you could create a dog yard outside and get her a buddy? Not true!!!! My dogs love their crates,...

Don, I totally get what you're saying. I'm talking about "reasonable" here. I get that things come up (cancer, major surgeries, etc.) that can cost thousands and that's not my expectation. I'm talking normal stuff like vaccines, regular check-ups, illnesses and injuries similar to what you just had...

Westminster is Political and takes a lot of money to win. I can predict which Dog will win every year if I care. Don't get me wrong, I loved my trips to New York.

How many on here have actually hunted in Africa?

In that case I would be up-front with the breeder and let them pick it.

Thank you! That's what i'm saying! I don't know why they are making this about me, when all I asked was an honest opinion on which DOG they found cuter or more appealing...

The scientists and old dog trainers agree dogs acclimate in 5 - 10 days. It is of concern when relocating. Who are these so called scientist's?

Sorry but if you are picking from a litter of 2, your chances are 50/50. The rest is up to its upbringing. Which is more important BTW.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Glad you found a possible solution.... Fingers crossed for your Dog.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Why not get a Credit Card? That way your Vet gets paid, your Dog gets taken care of and you can make payments.

Brazosvalleyvizslas

Just feed it or treat it for the kennel command and if its food oriented, it will be easy. Hmmm, potty train first though. The kennel helps with that because most dogs don't like to stay in their own waste. Kennel.
