Billy Gibbons talked/talks to his dogs on point. I was chastised for being silent when a normally honest dog broke. To each their own but I will give calm reminders from now on. I haven't seen the down side.

Rabies is an issue with so many foxes living close to people, though. Never heard of a fox with rabies though I suppose it could happen. But if that worries you , then you better be scared to death with coyotes, skunks, possums, raccoons, squirrels, and bats. They all get shot on my property, I don...

I will whoa a dog quietly when it's on point but never whoa it into a point. I come around from the front of the dog so I can keep an eye on the dog.

my last one was $300 and it was from Canada. Call the airlines cause some stopped taking dogs. I doubt it would be any less if you use ground transportation from a Pro.

Just have the dog flown in. I have had dogs shipped all over the world with no issues. Piece of cake and much faster.

I used the general design back when I needed outside houses.

Maybe one of the Vets on here can chime in. I was always told that the tail gets more connected to the nervous system when a dog gets older? I personally see no benefit for re-docking a tail unless its a show dog that is out of standard.

That's why you should look for a Miroku. Awesome guns without the extra price tag, and twice the gun of the CZ. Miroku's are Brownings without paying for the name.

All of my Vets increased the amount of Ivermectin to kill Demodex if that is contributing to the problem. And yes Demodex is a immune deficiency so a diet higher in amino acids (animal protein) can help.

Trauma can leave permanent scarring though so maybe it could be a combination of factors.

They already banned Hi-Cap mags for 10yrs and both the FBI and ATF saw no decrease in crimes committed with those guns so the law died.

Not sure why so many confusing answers. The right answer is to just feed him at 6pm Friday night and be done with it. SCIENTIFIC studies prove that a dog performs more efficiently when fasted for 17 hours. Feeding at 1am is absurd. There was no 6PM option but I agree 17 hours is about optimal becau...

Mid day snacks can help on multiple day hunts but a dog takes too long to digest things for it to do much that day. But as was stated, it helps keep them and me happy. I have found Satin Balls to be best.

I've never understood "getting them ready for hunting season". If you keep your dog trained and conditioned all year, you don't need to do anything to 'get them ready". .

I doubt that any head will roll since the AKC represents the average dog owner and the performance dept. is a small component. The average dog owner believes in positive re-enforcement only.

Best way to do it is have someone deal with the VA for you. A lot of groups out there will fill all the forms out, file it, and brief you on what you can get as far as benefits.
