I hope you got her permission to post her phone number! :-) lol I went on penn hips website and the only way of contact is through email. So I sent them an email with some questions. Here is what is interesting. The brother to the dog I have is the .45/.47 dog and he is in the 90th Percentile meanin...

MOOSE

Thanks Howie. I didn't see on Penn Hip's website where it says they suggest only breeding dogs who are in the 60th percentile or higher. I do understand how what numbers make it to theat 60th % will change over time as more dogs are evaluated. I may just call Penn Hip and ask them about it. As I do ...

MOOSE

Here is further info on her bloodlines and hips All on dams side: Grandmother: .67/.67 Grandfather: .32/.32-OFA GOOD Uncle: .47/.50 Great Grandmother: OFA GOOD The Uncle produced an: OFA Good Penn hip: .58/.54 and a Penn Hip .55/.64 I have not been able to locate much on the sire side yet. Still loo...

MOOSE

Well I do know her parents Penn Hip scores are: Sire: .52/.55 Dam: .67/.67 I am pretty disturbed by the dam especially. I was unaware of these scores until today. Like I said this mating produced this female in question along with her brother who has his penn hips back at the .43/.45 rating. So I gu...

MOOSE

Well she isn't 2 yet so I don't know if they would except this x-ray. She will be 2 on October 24th. So I don't see it changing a whole lot in a month. Here is how Penn Hip Explains their ratings. Each hip is rated individually. Greater than or equel to .30 - at risk for developing osteoarthritis (D...

MOOSE

This mainly goes to the last few people who have posted. Those of you who seem to know what you are looking at in these x-rays would you use this dog for breeding stock or not? I know this females full brother scored out in Penn hip at a .43/45 and at first I thought that was good but then reading t...

MOOSE

I will let you know what the resluts read as soon as I get them back. We have decided to do just Penn Hip on our guys now. After reading about them both more. Not that OFA is bad I think I just prefer Penn Hip. I thought they looked pretty good too but I have never had them done before. This is on o...

MOOSE

Alright I had one of our dogs go in today to have her Penn Hip X-rays done. For those of you with more knowledge of this than I (this is my first dog to do this on) what do you all think of the x-rays? http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r231/MOOSE1_2007/Annie/P9145640.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com...

MOOSE

Why don't you just come out and say you don't really care about the bite that you just want to breed her. You have made every excuse for the dog and the bite. Quit making excuses , you like her pedigree and that is that. You would think she was the last known dog carrying those lines. Would you mak...

MOOSE

I just got an email from the original owner. I guess this female had a litter in 2008. UGH. But she said all those pups bites were normal. They had them checked out by the vet. And that this female from day one has had a bad bite. Now I am wanting to research to see if anyone who has one of her pups...

MOOSE

We are in to dock jumping you are right there. But I am also trying to build a nice breeding program for myself. Not a huge one by any means but if I am going to add a GSP to stay they need to be able to fit into that long term plan. She would be an awesome companion and pet just want to also have t...

MOOSE

It isn't just the owners of the dogs but other people who own dogs from these dogs that I am talking with to learn more. I want the whole package: conformation and hunting. So once she relaxed a bit at our house I gave her a true once over. If it were not for her bite she would be a show ring conten...

MOOSE

And if someone can tell me where the bad bite may have come from in her lines I would love to know. And I won't stop asking the questions to those who own the dogs in her pedigree about the bite either. This will just further my knowledge of the certian bloodlines and what they produce. Education is...

MOOSE

I have yet to figure out where that underbite is coming from. I have talked to the direct breeders of her along with people who own the dogs in her background and none of them have any bite issues. This is not ment to start a bite topic again either. But not all bite issues are genetic. I am just no...

MOOSE

I haven't been able to get any good pics of her as of yet. Just letting her settle in some. Though it really is taking a tole on my other GSP's and dogs. They all have this bewildered look to them and that is not normal for them when getting a new dog in. They normally are totaly good with it and ac...

MOOSE

Complete outcross or not it is a very nice pedigree the more I research it with dogs who are all VERY similar in build and apperence along with ability. And honestly not too shaby for someone who just decided they didn't want their 4 year old GSP and pretty much dropped her on my doorstep with paper...

MOOSE

Thanks for the help guys. I have talked with Rob about the dog that is Abbe Lane. I have also gone ahead and added the CH and VC onto Shooting Star. Anyone else with feedback would be great. After researching for a few hours last night I found some of the dogs on her mothers side were German Imports...

I know a lot of dogs in this pedigree but wanting some feedback on any dogs who are not showing titles. Saying this is from AKC papers it won't show NAVHDA and such. Please let me know if any NAVDHA or other registry titles are missing. Thanks!

MOOSE

Big Congrats. When you find that horse that you bond with there is nothing better than that! Looks like you are having a great time already. Did you find your appy a home?

MOOSE

Bruce-
I read that as well somewhere. I have not heard as of yet if it has been surpassed or not. Hope all is well with you Bruce. Havn't talked with you in a while!

MOOSE

I too will never use a sport dog e-collar again. Range was not even close to being what it was suppose to be and darn things never held charge. I finally paid the true big bucks and bout a Tri-Tronics. I will never go back. Love my tri-tronic!

MOOSE

I apologize if I am coming across as harsh but that is the only way anyone has ever delt with posts like this before so I am a bit hard and have that wall up already. I am by far not a pro at any of this. My dogs are my life and I show and do different dog sports cause that is what I enjoy. But I al...

MOOSE

The crap I got on the last post was those trying to tell me I have no idea if my dog is quality enough to be bred. That will be ultimatly my decision and that the decision of the stud dog owner. I am not putting up with that crap honestly. I have never talked horrible about any GSP breeder or their ...

MOOSE

Ok last time I posted something like this I go a lot of BS for it. So lets just not go there this time guys. I am in the planning stages for doing a litter in LATE 2011. My female will be 3 1/2 at that time. I am going to be doing OFA Hips, Elbows and Cardiac and also get her CERF tested. Along with...

We have some young pheasant that are about 3 months old. 10 of them total. We also have 4 adult Pheasant. My question is when can the young ones be put in the flight pen with the adults and not get killed from bein pecked? We have peapers on the adults and right now about half of the young ones have...

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it. If anyone has any other info on him/ pictures that I could see I would love it. I am just doing some in depth research on my girls bloodlines. Thanks! I understand what all the titles are so that is awesome.

MOOSE

Does anyone know if he is still living? He is my girls grandfather and I would love to meet him if he is. I have found info on him on the internet but nothing that says he is still living. And I don't want to call and bring up sad feelings if he is passed. Thanks!

MOOSE

Our GSP just went through her first heat. She too was finky when eating. All our guys actually get more of a softer stool when in heat. She is our 3rd female in our home that is still in tact so we have verying effects of heat cycle. Tundrathere is nothing different during a heat cycle except she tr...

MOOSE

I would suggest a German Shorthaired Pointer. I know of a few people who dog sled with a team of German Shorthairs. They do great at it. I don't know how well a GSP mix with a husky would do at hunting but I do know a lot of dog sledders are mixing the GSP with husky with great results for dog sledd...

I just wanted to double check that Cockers can have Ivermectin to de-worm for HW. I figured they could as I don't know of any hunting breeds who can't but I do know the cattle/herding breeds can be negativly effected by Ivermectin. A friend of mine was asking regarding her cocker.

Thanks!

MOOSE

Not 100% sure. Could have been a bug bite that become infected or a cut that got infected. Hard to tell for sure.

MOOSE

Well my vet agreed that the short term of using peroxide for 24 hours was better than using nothing. So I am ok with the fact that I used it. Better to work on killing off bad bacteria for the first 24 hours than do nothing. But anyway. The vet did give her a steroid shot and put her on anti-biotics...

MOOSE

Peroxide bubbles. It doesn't hurt. Just like putting it on your own open wounds. I can tell it doesn't hurt her honestly. She could care less that I am putting it on her.

MOOSE

Here is an updated pic(warning not for a weak stomach). Our vet couldn't get us in until Tuesday AM. But if there is something that I can buy that would help treat an infection side of things from the store. I really don't htink it is something more sivere than being bit by a bug or bugs and now it ...

MOOSE

There are no other areas that are being effected or look patchy on her skin at all. Just that spot on her nose. So sounds like bug bites is the answer at this point. But what kind and how to treat it is another question....

MOOSE

I hope some of our resident vets do chime in! :-) She only rubs or licks at it after I put something on it. It is sore to the touch if I touch it. I was reading on Juvenile Cellulitis and it was saying it is something that is in puppys. Tundra is almost 3. So I would doubt that would be it. The hubb...

MOOSE

I tried putting neosporin on it this morning to make sure that infection isn't setting in. But I wonder if she is licking it off or pawing it off as the soars are open even more than this morning. One person actually asked me if it were possible she had gotten herpies on her nose. But she hasn't bee...

MOOSE

Thanks Brenda. That is what I was thinking too. Now I just have to look up how much benedryl to give her. I only gave her 25 mg. last night as I wasn't sure. She only weights like 35 lbs.

My little tiny girl.

MOOSE

So I discovered some swelling on Tundra's nose yesterday. It is all bumpy and looks like little pimples but no puss or anything comes out of them. This morning they are open soars. They have a raw look to them. They don't seem to be bothering her like it itches or anything and her breathing is norma...

MOOSE

I can't believe I missed this post. We compete heavily in dock jumping. But we compete with Ultimate Air Dogs mostly due to location. I second the keep out of the politics and you will have fun! I have two GSP's. One is 11 months old and is jumping 20' right now so should over the next year really s...

MOOSE

I love the underwear part! LOL

We have a 2 year old little boy and we have been using his diapers. Normally one lasts almost the entire heat cycle.

MOOSE

There is outdoor carpet stuff at like Menards. It is very cheap. We did our entire 40 foot dock with it for like $60.

MOOSE

Just from my experience with Brenda she is a wealth of knowledge. I have never bought a dog from her but I know she has very nice bloodlines and also is sooo healpful when you have any questions about this breed along with hunt questions. Congrats on the new pup and we would love to see pictures!

MOOSE

I haven't been on in a while so just saw this. Great job! Keep riding that beautiful Appaloosa!

MOOSE

My baby girl was in her first dock jumping competition a couple weeks ago and is now in their photo contest! We are tied 20-20 with another dog for votes. You will need to make a username and password to vote but I would love if my little girl could win on her first ever jump! http://ultimateair.dog...

MOOSE

How is limiting the number of breedings a dog can have be something that doesn't protect the dog? How does saying in your contract that you need to approve of the mate for the dog hurting the dog or the breed? In fact that would hopefully help the breed. Especially when so many want to cross to pood...

MOOSE

Thanks for the replies on her. She is such a smart dog. We are going to try to get her CGC title next weekend. And She will just be 7 months old!

We will see how that goes.

MOOSE

How well do these contracts work? Are you going to follow these dogs forever to make sure the contract is followed? Are you prepared to take the legal steps necessary to make sure the contract was followed? I am also for standing by what you breed and wanting the best for the pups but come on, limi...
