Here is a nice Red/Cinnamon phase i was talking about...It's getting mounted...I never seen so much detail in the fan and no black ..I find this phase more down southern PA..
Is this red phase more popular in the south ??? I never hunted below WV in the APPs.

I live in Northeast Georgia. A lot of people don't know it, but we have mountains in the Northern part of the state. We used to have a pretty decent grouse population, but it has really fallen off. We also have a good woodcock population during certain months, which nobody much even knows about. I ...

Nice pics

I have a moderately large (25") white male and a small (22-1/2") patched dark roan male. Neither has a problem with endurance or being seen. However, they both have grow up training hard in the 100+ degree summer and they live outside, just like the pointers they train alongside. I don't and will n...

My IMHO..The pure breed GSP is a very Fine bird dog ,but when it gets hot out they melt....My good friend has a nice string of EP's and when we are in competition at a FT's,he starts doing a happy dance when the sun gets blazing :| ...DK's can't handle heat above 80 degrees...I have won a FT in the ...

Can someone give me any logical reason that could stand up to an scrutiny at all as to why (and I have hunted them) Pa grouse are so so much more spooky than other grouse in this country. What are your thoughts on PA. Grouse ? I find any grouse that has had alot of pressure put on them are spooky. ...

Birddogz, I have peds of just KS lines that i run in FT/Test and Challenges....I'm always looking for a better dog to breed to,or get a pup from...Where are you going to find 30 plus DD/Wirehairs/GSP/Britts in a field... You don't have to breed to number 1....I like the dog that found to many birds ...

I will quote a conversation we had some time ago....."Many FT dogs just like to hear the wind whistle through their ears, put them in a blind and have them retrieve ducks and geese, throw them on a chukar hill the next day, pheasant sloughs the next, grouse woods the next. If you do this with one o...

Heard that about grays. We don't have greys up here just red fox. No Turkey's either, yes.[/quote] What do you think kills more turkeys in Pa.???? Snow or Fox..... What do you think kills more grouse in Pa????? Snow or Gray Fox..PA. turkeys are down.Pa been getting alot more snow in the past years..

Saterday in the field with my GSP... He went on point with a slow cat walk,but very bug eyed...Then this gray fox came out of a down blow/tree top..I gave it one and then my friend finished it good..Was a good day to get one of these bird eaters out off the field(female)..The grays around here can e...

Speaking from my experience with human eyes, a punctured cornea can self seal if the wound is small. If it doesn't and the eye loses enough pressure the structures in the back of the eye (the retina and choroid) basically come unglued. If the retina has detached you need to have that repaired ASAP ...

While hunting grouse, my dog punctured his eye on a Hawthorne/Apple throrn. Has anyone ever had an eye puncture related to a thorn or cactus? The vet said the dog's eye is leaking fluid and should require surgery. He has no leakage on the outside of his eye. I am not sure about getting the surgery i...

Or you could run in this: http://www.oakridgepointers.com/images/stories/DOCS/Premium_Fall_2011Cover_Dog1.pdf AKC Coverdog Trial at Marienville, that will likely be dominated by Continentals......... Seems like the excuse's have run out....... Bruce, I'll be ther...Bright eyed and shorttailed :D .....

I was upset cause he was doing so good....I am glad i didn't let some Amputate or put on a cast....i heard hoar storys about casts ...to tight ,so on ...Here a pic 3 yrs old...Broke it when he was 1yr.

My pup broke his toe in two at a trial ... Local vet wanted to amputate.$1000...Second opinion from a vet /field trialer told me two leave it go we can cut off down the road ...Dog runs like it never was broke...It has a twist and the pad reformed itself...took almost a year before it had no issues ...

Congrats ,Justin ..Captian is one heck of a dog. You ready to run for collars?

Thanks for the info...I'll start hitting them harder...Dog gets 10x more than goats/horses at 10% suspension.... You would think to get it at 22% you would just double it up....I have even found a roundworm in a grouse...Threw it away.....I hate worms

rschmeider

DogDR, Why so much??? I give about 4ml to a 50 lb dog for three days...Seems to work,i think. The bottle says 1.2ml for 50lbs for goats at 10%...Can you over dose??? I have 6 dogs with worms off and on..I worm about every month and switch it up with valbazen(albendazole)..What is your dose for that?...

rschmeider

Good luck DD, I fill your pain > :evil: I Hate porkeys to...Pa is over run with porkeys...The PAGame commission been protecting them over 100rds of years...Civial War i guess, Poor man's pork , you can kill one without a gun......word on the path :wink: We are finally allowed to harvest/kill legally...

rschmeider

I use tuff foot ,I think i going to try musher's. They change the bottle design it pours out to fast/leaks..Does musher's make the pad harder?

rschmeider

Put The epsom mix with warm water in a pet poter/plastic crate...Dog will stand in it... I do this in the garge...It can get a little messy in the livingroom..Make sure you make it strong enough so the dog doesn't drink it....It won't hurt the dog ,just blow #2 threw the kennel

It is a Laxative

Nice post, I forget about the old dog sometimes.i'm going to plant some birds for him.Thanks

Been reading these trialing posts for awhile, the one thing they all have in common is 90% of all of them are talking about speed and endurance that separate the top from the also ran, nothing about nose. When I asked Cleatus up town, how to judge a good hunting dog he said its all in the nose. Cle...
