Sorry I wasn't really offended it was just bad timing. I just got done talking to someone and found myself making excuses for being "skinny" so she wouldn't feel bad. I am in my 50's but have only been hunting for 14 years or so. I would like a coat that is warm and fits good I have a problem of cat...

I was ready to give my input but I guess I am not a "real" woman according to your description so I can't help you. I have problems finding hunting pants to fit. A lot of times I end up in boys XL but the rise is not cut right. I also have to buy boys XL shirts, and forget about finding a vest small...

So sorry for your loss. Wrigley sounded like a heck of a dog and you sure showed him a good life.

Congrats! Who is he/she from?

I got his book at Christmas & read it in one day, but I had heard about Chris long before then. BTW all profits from the book go to charity he did not receive any.

If you look under the "Hall of Fame" section, it in just a few down from the "training" section, there are a couple of different post on pigeons.

I do hope the anti-gun Libs do not besmirch his legacy with some nonsense about living by the gun and dying by the gun.

Sounds like you & your pup are off to a good start. You might want to check out NAVHDA. There is a chapter locator on the website, http://navhda.com/ Most chapters hold 1 or more training days a month where they get together & help each other train.

As far as I know you have to use the club supplied bumpers at the water. I have seen people try to use their own and it was not allowed. As said before put the tennis balls up & only use bumpers. I have see people tape pheasant tail feathers to them to get the dog excited about them and slowly take ...

I think most of the people who by guns legally already have a good sense about gun safty. I, for one, do not want to have to keep my guns locked up. A locked up gun is not going to do me a bit of good if I need it quick! Driving a car is a privilege, owing a gun is our 2 amendment right. Here is an ...

Congrats on the new pup, most britts that I have seen were good dogs. You should check out NAVHDA for a great group of people that help you train your dog. Website is navhda.org

Sorry for your loss. From your post Tank was a great family dog and really coming on as a hunter. It's always hard to lose a young dog, we lost one at 2 1/2, but you'll always have the memories of good times. I will never understand stand how someone can hit a dog and keep going. Karma will catch up...

We have had ours for 10 years, more or less. Have used it with 1 lab & 4 GSP's with no problems. We have 2 GSP's that HATE cats, the neighbor lady feed the ferel cats so we have a lot around.

We have had the PetSafe Wireless E-fence for about 10 years, 1 lab & 4 GSP's. We live in the country and have had the same thing happen with deer & rabbit as Donnie.

Thanks for the info. I drove it last night & really liked it. Do they get good gas mileage? I know I'm not going to get the 34-36 I was gtting with the Civic but am hoping for 23 or so.

Our lab started having seizures just before she turned 2. She got to where she could only hunt for 30-45 min. We never found out what caused them.This was about 10 years ago & they know a lot more now.

You should check out the NAVHDA training day and talk with some folks there. Someone may know of a planned breeding, not all NAVHDA bred pups are $1,000.00 +. Another advantage is you will get to see some great dog work and meet some good people. Here is a link to the chapter locator http://www.navh...

So my 4 year old daughter was in nursery school around Easter time. The teacher ask if anybody knows what kind of sound the Easter Bunny makes. Zealously, up goes my daughter's hand.

I remember a 300+ blind retrieve our pointing lab had to make on a duck. She was retrieving another duck when this one was hot so she never saw it. The duck was winged & glided over the dike out of sight but we could tell it went down. We sent her & climb the dike to "direct" her. She was trained by...

He is going to have to learn how to fetch a beer or grab a dock line before he gets too comfortable, he didn't contribute squat when we got to the gas station.

I didn't say he looked like a versatile dog, ROFLMAO!!!!

She is a cutie! Do you crate your older dog? When we got a new pup we would just put it in it's own crate by one of our other dogs and it would learn from them. They are crated in the room farthest from our bedroom

We do leave a radio on for them, seems to help with some of the outside noises.

We have fed PPP for over 8 years and never seen a mealmoth or any other bug or 'debris" in the bags. We have never had a problem with the food except once when a bag of it smelled "sweet". We gave a sample to a Purina rep and found out that it must have been stored/shipped with sweet feed for horses...

Thanks for all the info. Sounds like an invisible fence system is the way to go. Lot less expensive and ugly than putting up prison fence around the property. Make sure you condition your dog to the E-fence correctly, don't take shortcuts. It's a pain to set up the flags and walk the dog around for...
