Jon, Do not use Ivomec Plus! Use Ivomec Injection for Cattle and Swine 1% Sterile Solution . Be sure to check the expiration date because a bottle should last you a couple of years. Find an 1 ml insuline syringe and an 18 or 20 gauge needle. Draw .1 ml per 10 lbs of dog weight ( .6 ml for a 60 lb do...

Also Wannabe what Wagonmaster is saying is correct. High protien is hard on the kidneys of any animal. I am going on memory here but if I remember right with out looking it up an adult dog can only ues about 12 % protien in its normal activity. Our hunting dogs can and many times do need more when ...

The fat is the fuel and the protein is needed to rebuild the tissues that are damaged during excersise. If the fat content is high enough, the dog won't have to use the protein for fuel. Studies have shown that dogs fed a high protein diet were less likely to have soft tissue injuries. Proteins are ...

I won't feed a diet less than 30% protien and 20% fat. Towards the end of the hunting season, I usually have to supplement the performance diet in order to keep weight on the dogs. In the summer, I feed about half the portion that I feed in the winter. Here is a link to some information regarding pr...

Are you breeding him? If not, why don't you have him neutered?

BTW, his gnads are a long way from his heart. I've never heard of a dog dying from chapped nuts.

HI wannabe, You can get the wirehaired that is pictured, from birddog. I have (Erin) the best wiredhaired,got from birddog, I have ever owned and I have owned several. When her dogs point, the grouse is there and as her pictures shows, they do the same with pheasants. I do hunt with birddog in Winc...

I went out friday (foo foo holiday, we get all of them off) to..... Thank a veteran for serving our country, not for the day off in November. Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day,” which commemorated the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. Proclaimed by Congress each year starting in 1926, Ar...

Nice looking wirehair. Could you tell where to find a dog just like her?

If the lepto vaccine ties up a pups (<12-weeks) immune system, chances are the pup will not be protected from any part of the vaccine ( parvo, distemper, carona, etc....). At 12 weeks, the lepto vaccine is okay, but I have seen some pretty bad reactions so I always keep epi handy in case of emergenc...

This is the vaccination schedule that I use: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?aid=85 I don't know the specifics, but I have read that the lepto vaccine ties up the puppies immune system if given before 12 weeks of age. I can't imagine a breeder vaccinating a pup without consulting a vet...
