I live on the edge of town and have some grass fields within walking distance. I take my Brittany there about 4 times a week and let her free run for about 30 minutes at a time. Seems to keep her in shape in the off season. Only problem this time of year is ticks. Had her out this morning and alread...

I have a 5 year old female Brittany that has allergies. We never have been able to pin down the actual source, but it's a year round thing. She has been getting an injection of Cytopoint for almost 5 years and it has done a great job of controlling her itching and biting. The vet said initially that...

Didn't you just post this question on here a couple of weeks ago? Go back and look at that thread. viewtopic.php?f=89&t=55183

The Final Rise looks a lot like the WingWorks. I've had a WingWorks for probably 10+ years and love it. Built like a tank and will last several lifetimes. Carries enough stuff along with the two large water bottles and the game bag is very easy to load.

You might give Guy Mollicone at Mollicone Kennels a try. He's located just north of Sun City West. I had him work with my Brittany a few years ago and he did a nice job. Here's a link to his FB page. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100054582033296 If you are interested send me a PM and I'll ...

[/quote] I am getting a pup out of Dean Goodalls line (Bug and Fly) bred with Boone from the Utah chapter. Boone was trained by the owner and was his first dog. Boone runs like magic and made champion in 1 year. I hope I don't screw this one up. It is an amazing breeding. [/quote] Dean and Kristi Go...

You are buying a hunting dog to hunt wild birds. I don't understand why you are so concerned about training the dog to track. But the first year or more you need to concentrate on obedience. Get the dog in the field as much as possible and just let the dog explore and learn. If your dog has a proper...

Folks, I am looking for a kennel for the back of a Ford Escape. It is a company vehicle and may be switching to a RAV4. Looking for a site for sizes. I have been using a larger crate and putting down the back seat but would rather not mess with that hassle. First of all, what size/breed of dog are ...

This dog has her opinion about stocked birds for sure. Last weekend we had a fun, work and training day at the nstra trial grounds. Dogs know you cant correct them during the trial. We set up mock trials with birds and judges, but dogs could be handled and e-collars could be used. It was success fo...

The ProPlan I feed has Glucosamine in it but I have still started to supplement my 5 1/2 year old Brittany with Nutramax Cosequin Maximum Strength that contains 600 mg of Glucosamine and 300 mg of Chondroitin. I get it in chewable form, break a tablet in half and add it to her food. She eats it righ...

I tried the Inukshuk 32/32 but it seemed a bit hot for my dog. I have been mixing it in with the PPP Salmon to use it up. At some point, I may buy a bag of the Inukshuk 30/25 to try. Right now I can get it for $54 a bag. Don't have enough dogs for a pallet. I was looking at the NutriSource Performa...

The breeder I got my EB from recommended Nutri-source, so that's what I've been feeding my pup. Seems to be doing well on it, coat looks good, he's growing , etc. He's only 3 months old, so he hasn't been on it for months or anything ☺ Nutri-source is made a couple hours from where I live, so that'...

Is there any reason you are feeding an organic and grain free food? I see that this formula has 22% protein and 12% fat. That is awful low for an active dog. Personally I believe that organic and grain free dog foods are way over rated. Plus you are paying a premium price for that food. You do reali...

Welcome to UPH. You have an extremely cute pup. Where are you at in central MN? I grew up in Canby, MN and currently live in Watertown, SD. I run an American Brittany.

From what I've read is that most of Eukanuba's dry dog foods are being made in Australia.

What size shot and what chokes do you all use in a 20 ga over and under for pheasants ? Hunting with pointing dogs. Thanks

You can't go wrong if you go with IC/Mod chokes with 1 oz. of #6 shot.

Update on Rainey... It has now been around 2 1/2 months since the breeding accident and she never had puppies. Safe for now. Thanks for all the advice on the subject. Spaying has now become an option. It seems more favorable than hassling with heat cycles and all, but haven't decided yet. Stop thin...

Lots of quality boot makers to choose from. In my opinion, finding a boot built on a last which fits your foot properly is much more important than who in Italy or Germany made them. Kenetrek, Crispi, Schnee’s, Lowa, Scarpa, La Sportiva, etc. all make a high quality product. But they can all be the...

Dakotazeb

Are you referring to the Lowa Z-8S GTX? I looked that one up and it does look like a nice boot. Uninsulated, right?

Dakotazeb

I, like many others, went away from ProPlan only to make my way back. Yes, the price has gone up but so has all the other dog foods and most everything. To find a comparable dog food to ProPlan you will end up spending just as much. And if you are feeding Sport 30/20 you generally feed less than oth...

I've used collars from Gun Dog Supply on my Brittanys for many years. Used collars with both brass or nickel plated hardware. Never had the problem you are describing. I'd contact Gun Dog Supply and see if they have ever seen this issue. Their customer service is usually quite good.

Dakotazeb

I like to have both a pea style whistle and a pea-less with me. Hunting in cold weather can freeze the pea in a whistle so having a pea-less whistle handy is a good idea. I like the Gonia whistles.

Dakotazeb

I think the obvious question is, have you taken the dog to your vet for a professional opinion? You can get lots of suggestions and opinions on this forum or many others but a hands on diagnosis is what is needed. Skin issues can be really hard to diagnose and figure out. It could be mites, allergie...

I'll also say as you get older you don't want a 30 yd dog. I want mine to cover the ground so I dont have too. I agree 100%. I've said this on various forums for years. At 75 I can't cover the ground I once could, thus I want a dog that will work further out and cover the ground for me. Holding poi...

I've had Brittanys for over 25 years. All my dogs had/have the off switch. They are very laid back around the house but do need regular exercise. More than just a walk. But I would say that is true of any of the pointing breeds. The breeding is important and for what you are looking for I would stay...

Grover - I don't know anyone who would take a dog for two weeks for anything resembling hunting dog training. Anyone who says they would...I would be very skeptical of. That ain't the way it works. There may be some folks with whom you could spend a day, or two... so they could show YOU how to work...

I would recommend Sylmar vests. I've used them for years and they are a quality product and the customer service is fantastic. Normal vests have a cut-out on the bottom side to accommodate a male dog. I didn't need that for my female Brittany so Sylmar custom made me a vest that eliminates the cut-o...

Dakotazeb

That's certainly been a tough stretch for you. My thoughts and condolences are with you. Are you sure you're too old to get another dog? Maybe find a 4-5 year old that needs to be re-homed. I think as we age the question of when are we too old to get another dog comes up. I got my last one when I as...

I will be taking my GSP to South Dakota this year. They have snakes too. You only need to worry about snakes in South Dakota if you hunt out around the Missouri River or west of the river. For the most part the eastern half of South Dakota is snake free. I've lived and hunted in SD for over 40 year...

Seriously I never see 1" collars with a d-ring or center ring ( or both) that are a appropriate size for anything smaller then labs or German Shepard. My weims are bigger then most other pointing breeds and collars are to big or not of "working" quality. Why can't holes be 3/4" apart rather then a ...

Forget the prescription food. ProPlan makes a weight management food that is lower in fat and calories. I would try that and get down to her ideal weight. Then switch her back to the PP she was on but limit the amount being fed. What is recommended on the that bag is just a suggestion. Your dog may ...

Dakotazeb

To reiterate what I'm going for, I don't want to heel him the whole time we walk. I want him to have some freedom without the aggravation. What do you suggest? I see this as quite confusing for the dog. You want him to heel some of the time but not all of the time. My opinion is that when the dog i...

I was in much the same situation as you. I also have the Alpha 100 with the tt15 mini but I wanted a smaller, simpler collar for training. I bought a Garmin Delta XC and it was a total bomb. Very low stimulation and vibration. Sent it back to Gun Dog Supply and got the Dogtra 280C. Much, much better...

Where are you located and what are your expectations for Cody?

I had a female Brittany that absolutely loved the water, great swimmer. But the Brittany is far from a waterfowl dog. As long as the temps and water is not too cold they can be trained to retrieve waterfowl, but in cold weather they are not your dog. While some Brittanys, like the one I had, love wa...

Dakotazeb

I don't have any experience with the 200i but I do have the Alpha 100 with the tt15 mini collar. The Alpha 100 works fine but ha way ore capabilities than I need and will ever learn to use. If I could do it over I would get the Garmin Pro 550 Plus. Less expensive and does everything I need it to do.

Talked to a guy that was down in that area last week. Hunted 3 days and never saw a bird. Super dry down there and I think with the extremely hot summer in Arizona that it probably really effected the hatch.

I really liked Deans little Brittany. I would like to get one out of that breeding. She is precious and a rocket. Deans little setter beat me in number of birds found but she isn't retrieving well yet. Dean is a great guy. He mentored several kids running his dogs over the weekend. He also came dow...

I'm looking for a Remington 1100 16 ga. preferably with a vent rib that is in good to excellent condition. Barrel length and choke are not real important.

So you had a chance to meet my buddy, Dean Goodall, from North Dakota. I see his little Brittany, Fly, took a 1st place. That dog finished 2nd at the 1st ever National Amateur Trial a month or so ago. Dean has some good dogs.
