Dog was still showing symptoms not sure if they retested.....I can find out.

He was adopted from ne pa and is being treated in Wisconsin.

Run the full tick panel....dog could have multiple infections....one setter recently from that area had Lyme, anaplasmosis and erlichia.....30 days of doxy didn't do it. Dog is now on 30 days of amox

birddog1968

I would have let him bump chase and catch before you started real training.... Is he gun conditioned? What method have u been following

birddog1968

I use either Adams flea and tick mist or ebronc from tsc....

Tapatalk works great for me....

Experience develops a hunting dog.....development makes a big field trial dog what he is. You don't need a GPS but it makes life easier...in big country a dog that goes with you is going to show himself enough to let u know where they are....take the high ground. Sure sometimes it'll take you a bit ...

birddog1968

Not sure where 2 miles came from but a 500 to 1000 yard dog that goes with you is a wonderful thing, they naturally show to the front looking for you....turn the horse right or left or take off walking right or left with a raised arm and they go with you...some may be taught some do it naturally.......

The gm debate is ridiculous and driven by a billion dollar organic industry who's only recourse for high prices is to condemn, damage and try to vilify modern farming. Its driven by conspiracy theorists, the uneducated masses and social media. The anti's are hysterical and willfully misinformed........

birddog1968

Well bred pointers that go with you at long range is a thing of beauty......if you've never seen it than I can understand the confusion. One must see a dog work naturally like that to understand.

50 yard retrieve difficulty can run the gamut, from walk in the park to heck on a dog.

birddog1968

Both....but finding a good preserve can be tough....most are a compromise.... Where are you located?

Here's a picture of a small portion of the club I belong too.....

My God given whistle, won't be mistaken for any other and won't spook birds.

Don't cake on the bag balm....just rub it in and do daily and there is nothing to lick off. It soaks in. Its about all you can do.

birddog1968

Why can't your lab do flushing duty in the uplands? I've hunted everything from woodcock and snipe to prairie chickens, quail ....pheasant with my lab.

birddog1968

Its what happens to older dogs...if dry and cracked put some lotion or bag balm on them otherwise it is what it is and pretty normal.

birddog1968

No testing since the 1600's hasn't been a problem in pointers.....lip service been working good for a long time.

birddog1968

Millers lines are the cleanest out there....I've had dogs xrayed for hips, never paid for ofa to certify them. If you don't have any noticeable hip issues thru a dogs life its safe to say HD Was not an issue....online ran in the nc at 11 or 12.... Bad bites are bad bites....not an issue to breed awa...

birddog1968

I've had pointers for 35 years never had one with bad hips....

birddog1968

I bought my last pointer from AA AMES NC dam was littermate to number 2 AA pointer that year...cost 500 so the FC shorthairs sound high for a simple FC to me......see how that works lol

birddog1968

More line breeding in labs than one might guess...but consider or name a clean line of labs comparable to say English pointers ( even tho that's becoming more rare) really well linebred dogs require dedication and an intimate knowledge of the dogs, and these days, I think, individuals willing and ab...

birddog1968

1200-2000 may seem ridiculous but thats what well bred Labs cost these days, You can spend 500 dollars or 750 and keep your fingers crossed but its much better to pay a higher price for proven litters, especially if you may end up liking testing and move to trialing. Take a look on RTF Retriever tra...

birddog1968

What did TT and collar clinic say? Guess they are purposefully making the older units obsolete.....

Seems funny cause they still have batteries for the older xl models but I'm guessing the g2 battery pack with the printed circuit board on top doesn't open ???

birddog1968

Hmmmmm....shows how long its been since I flew a dog, glad its still available.

birddog1968

Thanks, I've done a couple dozen dogs, just hadn't had one this stubborn to move and hold.

birddog1968

Evan what's your suggestion for getting a dog to begin walking without dropping? I've got one now that will hold for 5+ minutes and acts rooted to the spot. But one step and trys to spit.

birddog1968

Continental keeps dogs climate controlled thru the whole process.

Legislating personal responsibility , but more sinister is making owning a even breeding dogs more expensive in hopes of making less people own and breed dogs.

As stated BT has been around since turn of the century 1900 and wide spread use since the 50's .....why only now when a much more conservative amount is used as in GE Corn is it now so dangerous? History is your multi generational study. It ,BT , being used for many decades has been proven to only e...

Being a nice redneck I'll provide this link again which includes many links to independent studies..... Use it. If they all aren't rednecks too.

BT "chemicals" have been sprayed on row crops since the 20's .....of course they are "showing" up, they are naturally occurring in the soil......Ge crops with BT are a much more conservative and responsible way to apply these natural insecticides....which by the way are used in organic agriculture....

birddog1968

Why don't we stick to the subject you started.....and why are we deniers? Me thinks the side with no sound science are the ones in denial.

birddog1968

LOL..... People thought a bath would kill them too

Your science sources are junk delolo....you know it, the people who preformed it know it, and a jury of real scientists know it....and you probably know zip about pig production and the politics behind it, due to the constant attacks by another group of bozos who know zip....the AR wackaloons.

birddog1968

That's not too awful long....I think shredded paper works best as bedding.

Wow that's a trip....I've flown some dogs but never that far. How many hours will the dog be in transport?

birddog1968

The anti monsanto crowd lost their rats with tumors study and are hunting hard for a new rallying point.....but both supposed scientific studies are junk.....

Here's a good read..... People all thru the ages have held the same belief about great leaps in technology and knowledge. Its human nature....but now we can link liberalism and evil successful companies. Nobody deserves to be so successful unless everyone is..... http://m.newyorker.com/online/blogs/...
