She's going in on the 16th to get a check up for her incontinence due to spaying...forget the technical term for it...and she's going to get the lepto vaccine at that point. Our vet was pushing it pretty hard which either means they want to sell more vac's or it can be an issue around here. And she ...

I am definitly looking to improve the weimaraner breed. I would like to have dogs that are dual quality dogs...quality both afield and in the ring. Weims have gotten away from their field roots and I want to embrace that again while meeting the conformation standard. I believe I would want my dogs t...

ohiohuntinweim

How do you make the decision to become a breeder, I.e. are there benchmarks of when you are ready to take on the challenge of bettering your breed? I would like to some day breed quality weimaraners for field and show (a true dual dog not a compromise between the 2). But I know right now I lack the ...

Don't they make a dog vest that has a handle on the back of it to help someone haul their dog in???? I believe its avery????

I was thinking of the doggie ladder like on regular duck boats, but looks like you've already gone there

I got my Weim when she was 3 or 4 months old, she's 3 yrs old now. We just finished our first season on birds. She was my first bird dog and I had screwed her up really bad in the first year or so... So we took along break and I began to learn a lot more about training. When we started again last su...

My wife said they same thing...I didn't get to listen before I put it on. I choose it b/c of the title. Its been a struggle to say the least

ohiohuntinweim

Not bad for a pet store dog eh?

She is definitly a member of the family

I posted this on another forum. I don't know many of you guys here...other than the ones that are on the "other BB". So I thought I might post this. Its just pics of the dog, myself and a few of my family over the last year or so... http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd143/Huntinweim/th_d81aa672.jpg

So I have tried to search for a website that lists frequency of lepto. cases in Ohio, but haven't found any

Is there a place to find out if its a problem in my area???

ohiohuntinweim

Thanks birddogdoc, I'll probably go to the vet and go ahead and get it done.

Just as a side note...what if a dog isn't vac'd and does contract, what will happen???

ohiohuntinweim

Looks like something my daughter would do to my dog...here's an xmas picture

Good thing the daughter put the ears on the cat this time!!!

ohiohuntinweim

Could they be Photoshoped pics or similiar program...Did something like that in a graphics class once.

One way or the other good looking stuff...even if they are pointers!

ohiohuntinweim

Its the Inlaws...'nuff said!! I typically don't expect my dogs to do anything different when family or friends come over. If I know that someone is truely bothered by large dogs (my motherinlaw :( ) I will do my best to keep the piece without punishing my dog for doing what is normal. *She has a lg ...

ohiohuntinweim

Ever tried "Google Earth"? It is amazing what you can see on the aerial views just by looking at the areas you intend to hunt and most of those aerials are reasonably up to date. I think I read somewhere in their literature, that the aerials are refreshed every 3 years, or something to that effect?...

I had Smokey vaccinated at a clinic not our normal vet (clinic much closer and cheaper). I just took her in to get a check up and drop off the vaccination records. The doctor called and said that Smokey hadn't gotten the leptospira???? vaccine (my wife took the call and this was the closest thing I ...

ohiohuntinweim

Around my area it is becoming a normal vaccine. So many people are doing the doggie day care thing it has almost become "standard". I had always asked for it in the past with me working in petstores and being exposed to many animals as well as my dog. Now we run into lots of dogs in different situat...

ohiohuntinweim

I had heard awhile back that the biggest problem was the dog ingesting the salt/chemical they put on the roads and sidewalks, in addition to irritation.

We were always told to clean the dogs feet if they had been out in it.

ohiohuntinweim

DVD's-I like the Perfect Start/Perfect Finish

Book-Paul Long's book is pretty good.

ohiohuntinweim

Nice looker! Always good to see any dog turn it on but especially an adopted or unexpected dog!!

Another ohio weim guy

welcome!!!

ohiohuntinweim

My weim had skin trouble, cleared that up with some healthy alternative foods (venison and rice, etc.) Then made the switch to Pro Plan sensitive stomach since it has higher calorie per cup and higher fat and protein levels than my previous foods. Long story short she's doing well on it. Haven't had...

Welcome Aboard!!!

After I saw it wasn't isolated instance I did pick her up(probably a few too many birds later). I didn't want to ingrain that that was ok. Britt guy she is 2.5 but this was her first year/season on birds. She had a knuckle head trainer (me) who kept causing problems. But she definitly developed and ...

ohiohuntinweim

What will your friend be hunting? I think thats the place to start. Then go to a gun store and try out different O/U's, SxS's, auto's, pumps then once he finds one that comfortable for him. Different guns work for different folks...kind of a personal preference.

ohiohuntinweim

Well I filled the field out at a trial over the weekend so it would count for the guys who needed points. This was the first time she had been in a field with birds by herself for a while. She had recently ran with 2-4 other dogs on phez and quail. Smokey is a fairly close working dog, she did not g...

The other thread about hunters safety got me thinking. I need to have my daughter go thru a hunters safety course and I'll take it with her (what a dad). But at what age do you think a child should take the course? My daughter is seven, but i want to get her started off on the right foot. What do yo...

Back in the day when I managed a pet store(consider the source) we recommended mixing it like follows First 2-3 days 25% new to 75% old Next 2-3 days 50/50 Next 2-3 days 75% new to 25% Then 100% new. It seemed to cut down on a lot of problems. You may still get some soft stools but not near like swi...

Thats pretty much it for bird doggin. Found PDJ first so it is my home, but this one is a close second!

ohiohuntinweim

I took it when I was like 12. Lost my certification years ago, just have current OH hunting license. Hope I can get licenses in other states without it!

ohiohuntinweim

Each dog reacts differently to different foods. My weim is doing great on Pro Plan sensitive Stomach, there is a little more poop than with some others but her health, coat and energy have never been better!

ohiohuntinweim

How do their feet do? I am assuming they only get torn up to bad if they are on galvanized wire?

ohiohuntinweim

I like the coated nylon ones the best for hunting, but just regular nylon around the house.

I have been looking at dogsunlimited leather collars though, they have one thats absolutly gorgeous and looks like it will last forever!

ohiohuntinweim

How long have you been shooting at birds. I had shot trap of one form or another for quite awhile, birds are just plain and simply different. This is my first year on them and shooting at (sort of) wild birds, preserve birds and post trial cleanup birds has been the best help for me!!! Nothing like ...

ohiohuntinweim

Lion country and DogsUnlimited have them!

ohiohuntinweim

My dad lives in the Knoxville area, he just moved from Holland/Grand Rapids area. He says its better but not by much.

Not sure about the hunting though

ohiohuntinweim

Great looking ddog, its always a blast to see them with they're first birds

ohiohuntinweim

Is that the stuff that perfection kennels reccomends?

ohiohuntinweim

Only negative thing I've heard about the natural bones is they may wear the teeth down prematurly. I try to make sure if she gets them down to the point where they are getting to small I pitch them. I have bought the ones that are hollow on the inside(processed ones that are nice and white) and will...

ohiohuntinweim

This came up on another BB, I looked into it and found some sites that indicated they had been DNA traced as purebreed labs. And that they are some color phase of the chocolate lab. Don't know if its true or not but it sure looks like some weim mixed in there eh? Can you imagine two weims on point a...

I'm not anymore either, she was greatful she got a card today

That was almost 10yrs ago

I have a 5 months old GSP female that I am going to switch over to an adult food. Didn't know if you could tell me the difference between Purino HiPro and Purina Pro Plan or the benefit or one or the other. Or if you guys had anything other suggestions on a feed! Thanks guy! What kind of puppy food...

I am glad the weim didn't take best in show. I have a buddy involved in GSP rescue and he said when the GSP did real well a few yrs back it took 18-24 months and then a flood of GSPs hit the rescue groups. All those people who had gotten them as pup after Westminster had turned them in as older dogs...

ohiohuntinweim

Well everyone other than the weim people can relax.

ohiohuntinweim

Call the manufacturer of the stuff you used to wash his kennel pad and carpet with, they might be able to tell you if the product is pet safe or not. It might be enough to irritate him to that point.

ohiohuntinweim

Dogs Unlimited has a couple weim specific books, i haven't read them so don't know exactly what they cover, but it looks like they might be worth looking into. What are you trying to accomplish? Upland, waterfowl, trial dog? They are all close but there can be subtle differences in training techniqu...

ohiohuntinweim

Is there a place to find the german standard? Since the breed originated there, shouldn't that be what we should be trying to emulate? Like someone said earlier we should be looking for the dual quality right? Confirmation and field ability. I like the way the Germans do things b/c you get away from...

ohiohuntinweim

It was up in bellevue Little King a place called Brier Oak, cool place and beautiful birds. They had some of the best looking pheasantsI have ever seen. Must be some kind of different strain or something.

ohiohuntinweim

I'm glad to hear you got him to the vet in time. Hope his recovery goes well!! Best Wishes, keep us updated on his progress.
