The announcement was from Oct 2010 and the product BBD are out of date at this time so if they weren't off the shelf I certainly hope they are by now. so is the updated recall info just reminding people the bags with the oct 2010 should not be bought or fed?? thanks, i wanna make sure i pass on any...

The sheets show these all to be old recalls that have been completed the way I read them. Ezzy i believe the first 2 feeds on the blue buffalo sheet are from nov 2011, the year is indicated by the recall number i think..thats what i was told...and the chicken jerky is showing older recalls plus its...

Great help thanks, how reliable is the electric fence??..are they reliable in stopping a dog even in full chase or would a dog run right threw it?? i was thinking we would only have the dogs loose if we were out but i know they can go MIA in seconds if they decide to go after a squirrel or cat or so...

a recall on blue buffalo has been issued last week on 2 of its foods, they are the first 2 foods listed and the others are older recalls..a friend sent this to me so feel free to research if you feed this and get more info, i dont feed this so i didnt look into it much but thought id share, thanks h...

thanks guys, i will be keeping them on a long cc until the exercise pen is done..i assumed most people let them run the property but ya theres a farm across the way with cows so i dont want them over there for sure..good idea introducing myself to the neighbors, i already met the cop now i will go m...

Another thing i will add to the great advice is to teach him the "go pee" command..every time you bring him out on lead tell him "go pee" and when he does praise him up..this comes in handy when you are in a hurry and its cold out in the middle of the night, when you are travelling and pull over and...

we are putting our house up for sale and moving to our new home with close to 15 acres within the next few months..we currently live in a subdivision so having all this land is going to be new to us..my question is to those who live on larger properties, how do you intro your dogs to the new land pr...

GUNDOGS

I have always been told by guys with wirehairs that their dogs tend to be sharp, but not people I know with Griffons. Griffons I know are all pretty nice dogs. The setter rescue I have now was obviously abused and beaten by the person that abandoned him. He used to be "bitey" and mouthy and that's ...

I know of a little girl who's face was bitten up by a lab and went through several years of surgeries on her face,this was a family dog that had never shown those tendencies.In my opinion you were luckily given a second chance,I don't care about all that dog whisperer crap or being politically corr...

my dogs dont like the rain but i would say my GSP pup harley dislikes it more then my boxer and my lab/brit, but he is only 3 months old, if he whines to go out and its raining i push him out and if he wont go i crate him and try again a bit later and eventually he will go out if he has to go bad en...

CONGRATS on the new dog :D my advice would be that when it comes to training start the dog off like she were a new pup..i do this with rescues i take in that are older when teaching obedience, even older then your GSP female and i am always surprised at how little they know when they come into my ho...

Thanks everyone. Yeah Ruth two weeks ago we were at the Youth Pheasant Hunt. I started a thread called NJ youth hunters 2011. He shot two birds for the first time.

You miss the point of zepplins post Ruth, a dog that is over trained at a young age alot of times doesn't develop the independence and animation that a dog that has been allowed to be a pup for almost a full year will. Allowing a dog to be a carefree pup is time well spent, will build independence,...
