Wouldnt hurt a bit.....

Only thing I worry about is feeding birds, i might eat soon, a medicated feed.

It happens, I recently sold a real sweetheart of a shorthair..... The new owners allowed her into their bed right off the bat.....in short order she growled at the fellas wife....he was on the line of wanting to give me the dog back. I had his wife feed and handle the dog as if she was hers and all ...

yea thats a given mud....it was more is it necessary and is it really an enjoyable way to spend a day..... would it not be more enjoyable for it to be about the dogs, how they hunt FOR the handler, and a quiet day in the field..... surely dogs of such great breeding don't need to be hollar'd at do t...

Just for clarification I mean flat out Yelling and Screaming....Singing is one thing (although i still classify it has handling or over handling the dog) Most seemed to Scream....from a couple hundred yards it sounded like a lunatic in the fields. When I ran my dog he didn't know what to think at fi...

Tails dont point birds or find them....... That said I know what ya mean... Mine shows both and they must mean sumthing to him. Here some points within minutes of each other. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s2/can3621/003.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s2/can3621/march709011jpgcrop-1.jpg ...

Chicks will make those rough cuts with their egg tooth as they cut themselves free.

Have your son feed the dog....have him wait for the right controlled behavior and then give the dog his food....he can also take the dog out (if its a house dog) and kennel the dog.....let the boy develop the right relationship with the dog....... If the dog nips i would roll him on his back and let...

Hope this can stay under control and not turn into an argument or trial bashing thread. How prevalent in walking trials is yelling and hollaring at the top of the handlers lungs? I attended a trial few weekends ago and the yelling was sumthin, and not exactly enjoyable.......Would seem a dog that hu...

you can add a piece of one by to the front of the box....screw a piece on that is large enough to cover the hole and that is cut out to match the hole in the box. This gives you double thickness at the hole area....helps prevent predators from enlarging the hole. also oval holes are better at exclud...

was at a trial and a few people were trying Extreme athelte......all of em were having loose messy stools and plenty of it.

Eagle pac is good stuff....

Im back on the Exceed because all three of my dogs do well on it.

Have him checked for Lyme, cheap insurance.

Mine had a pretty seriouse pad cut....I thought it was a career ender. Vet wraped it up and I taped a plastic bag on when going outside. bout a month later maybe a little more it was healed up and one loose big dried up and disapeared.....Serious Pad cuts take some time. Keep it clean and keep the d...

I used it with no issues except 2 of my pointers didnt much like it....so I kept hunting for a food they would all eat. had it too until exceed became unreliable. Now I find myself wondering again what to feed. These dang companies need to understand reliability is as important as the nutrition........

Good stuff but too expensive. I use Adams spot treatment its cheaper and available at Target or Online.
also use adams shampoo for ticks and fleas. Adams makes very good products at a much better price.

me too back of the throat and hold muzzle closed gently until they stick their tongue out....gone.


In the past we used a wad of butter....it slides right down.

Evo is a dense chow, but worth it and it costs only marginally more than the cheap stuff Whats the price? Exceed is 29 per 44 lbs i believe. When sams ran out I bought some pro plan performance 30/20 .....45 bucks for 35lbs :roll: it turned my dogs inside out for the first couple days but now they ...

Anyone find it back in the stores yet?

I would take him in and get a rabies booster and that nose looked at

i hope they get it in my stores soon......its not there as of this afternoon. I had some luck with black gold.....both the hipo and the signature.....not bad stuff and cheap at my local feed store. It stinks when stuff like this happens, having pointers they eat like supermodels.....change hasn't be...

common and red breasted mergs are called

Hairy heads around here or lawn darts.

If your down Virginia shore the call em Hory heeds

We'll just have to agree to disagree.... This is a method from a well known trainer with national titles. If you saw it you wouldnt say its abuse. Ruining a dog with a collar , not that would be more like abuse...and a waste. Would it be better to ruin a dog, have him hit by a car , shot by a angry ...

I agree its old school but abuse, not hardly. Done in under 5 minutes period. This was done on a dog what you cant put a collar on. He is so soft you would ruin this dog with a collar. Someone almost did. From my perspective this is nothing like shooting a dog for busting birds....thats a whole othe...

I got ya.... Might sound kinda harsh but it works. We have an old school bird dog trainer in my neck of the woods...He has an old school method of breaking them from running deer. Again sounds harsh but it works quick. He has a plastic drum hooked up to an electric motor. Dog goes in , Deer hide goe...

sounds like he might have got hit by a car maybe???? sunken eyes and one side tense and lactic acid build up. Just a thought. Hope he's feeling better soon. Might want to get him broke off running deer tho. Too many bad things can happen running deer, hit by car, shot by angry landowner....... I jus...

Howdy from another newbie, Im 40, live on the east coast but looking at moving out west soon. I own and operate a small ornamental tree nursery and guide upland hunts on a local preserve. I have 3 Ep's and a lab... I enjoy all things outdoors especially hunting and fishing. I am an avid waterfowler....
