Hmmm all this talk about the Sonny dogs being chewers,vocal,etc.I had a litter directly sired by Sonny & they are the sweetest most loving & affectionate dogs I have owned.Star my Sonny daughter will lay next to me & let me cut her nails,scale her teeth,what ever I want she just loves to be near me....

Just a little caution when letting dogs jump in & out of trucks etc.This might not happen often but have seen dogs hit their knee joints jumping in & out while doing this.I have not seen any injuries myself but had a trainer chew my butt out good the only time he saw me do it.That was yrs ago & I al...

Vonzeppelinkennels

Not here & not tonight but it does happen every once in a great while.

Vonzeppelinkennels

RGD that's my point I used the SK for almost 30 yrs never had a crippled dog but it can happen.I have seen dogs on concrete slip on it when wet & fall just the right tweak & they can be injured. A couple yrs back a very Successful FC dog in his prime was killed in a concrete kennel when he was jumpi...

HMMMMMMMMMMM what happened to that field Trial in the snow?? Sorry I couldn't help myself.

Vonzeppelinkennels

I'm not trying to say one is better then the other they both have advantages & disadvantages.Dogs can be injured no matter what kind of surface their on or what kind of kennel their in. I have raised & whelped all my dogs in SK since the late 80's I have seen no proof of what has been stated her by ...

Vonzeppelinkennels

I guess that is possible but I have seen dogs get their feet & nails caught in chain link also,unfortunate accidents but things happen once in while nothing is foolproof.I heard another guy say he had a dog that was raised in a SK that ran sideways for a long time but quit after being kenneled elsew...

Vonzeppelinkennels

Yeah Lee who?

Vonzeppelinkennels

Crippled from?? I guess your saying you have never seen a dog raised on concrete end up crippled? Being crippled probably has nothing to do with either,concrete or SK. :roll: I have seen many beagles raised in those type kennels with many different types of flooring long before there was such a thin...

I have friends that have that problem & that's why I hunt by myself more then not.I use to make plans with friends who wanted to go with me but 9 times out of 10 those plans would change because of their wives.I got tired of wasting my time waiting in drive ways just to be told I can't go so just st...

Tail length is like everything else,everyone has a different preference.I had 3 litters out of my Wendy all by different sires. The first litter was done @ 50% just about right,the second litter done @ 50% Too Short for me & had a couple buyers say the same thing,third I did @ 60% just a tad Too Lon...

Looks like Hank is going make Jill a nice brace mate Chip.Keep the pics coming we love to see the young ones mature into fine BIRDDOGS!!
Your Grouse Guides initials wouldn't be DQ would it?

Vonzeppelinkennels

I love these kind of pics & stories

The Scott Grate Floor panels are 43x24 $38.95 each or 2 for $69,not cheap.Nothing is anymore. The first SK I built cost a little over $300 the last one I built was close to $500 & other then the floor panels which I like better then the origianls the Gal.Steel panels are cheaper lighter gauge. Kinda...

Vonzeppelinkennels

Well say or believe what you want but all my dogs are born & raised in the Scott kennels & I have yet to see any bad results because of it.I believe they are cleaner & more sanitary,I don't get fleas & don't seem to have much problems with worms. I also believe they help young pups develope muscle s...

Vonzeppelinkennels

I was thinking the same thing CC now if it goes all the way down or starts moving down could be something else but if it's scar tissue from tail docking not likely to come back.

Vonzeppelinkennels

Congrats Art that has turned out to be an outstanding breeding.Are you leaving Dee with Dan for awhile?
Good luck in the fututre with them.

Ted

Vonzeppelinkennels

NCG the length of tail on docked talied dogs is man made,it can't be bred so how it ends up is up to man. There are standards but that only applies to the show ring & it's not a DQ,the standard for GSPS is 40 % of the natural length but that is not an exact measurement. Even if it was an exact measu...

Vonzeppelinkennels

This question comes up quite often.A newbie starts out with a pup or dog with no intentions of ever wanting to compete in any way.They get stared training,spending more & more time with their canine companion & see how much fun & rewarding it can be.The next thing you know they would like to try som...

Vonzeppelinkennels

There are alot of pros that use the so called gimmicks & some that don't.When we had wild birds here in Ohio,I guess you could say I never really trained in a sense,I just more or less went hunting.
Unfortunately that's not the case anymore so I use what you call gimmicks.

Vonzeppelinkennels

Ok I have done all that before I have several dogs that are dbl reg but was told it had changed & the way I understood all dogs plus the litter had to be FDSB reg.The dog I'm speaking of I bred & own the dam she is DBL reg but the sire was not.I either received the wrong info or misunderstood.

Thanks

Vonzeppelinkennels

HMMM hopefully they have changed it back like it use to be,but the last time I wanted to reg a dog from a non reg FDSB litter was told the litter had to be registered.If you look on the application under Dams name it says dogs to be registered must be from an enrlloed litter,(am I reading something ...

Vonzeppelinkennels

From what I understand things have changed & to register a dog with FDSB the litter has to be FDSB registered,unless I have been told wrong.

Vonzeppelinkennels

Some of you might call stringing up a dog abusive but I seriously doubt anyone would be arressted for using it to stop a seroius dog fight.If you have ever tried to get between to dogs to stop a fight or seen the results of some one else doing it you might understand what REAL ABUSE IS!! I've been t...

Back in the late 70's & early 80's when we use to raise & show Dobes we tried Iams & I quit feeding it because of the smell of their Stools.

Vonzeppelinkennels

Ok DB so if you see a dog attacking a child you are going to baby that dog untill he is done then retrain him huh?I have said enough but you are welcome to come see if my dogs have been abused. Better yet ask some one that has bought a dog from me or picked one up after being shipped by plane if the...

Vonzeppelinkennels

DougB did I say anything about beating a dog anywhere?? If your neighbor sees dogs fighting & you standing there staring at them doing nothing you could also be charged with dog fighting. That's one of the problems we have neighbors sticking their nose where it don't belong when they know nothing ab...

Vonzeppelinkennels

You have them on a CC or leash & string them up cuts off their air till they think there dying.I know might sound cruel but would you rather have them tear each others throat out or ear off believe me it will get their attention.

Vonzeppelinkennels

Chris you might want to give Jim West a call,he had him on his string for a while.I think his owner Keith Bryant finished him.
They are planning on breeding Fancy a female out of my last litter to him when she comes in season hopefully anytime.

http://sixxemkennels.com/puppies.htm

Vonzeppelinkennels

I don't know where the idea of neutering will cure fighting or aggresiveness,no more then it will cure a dog of hiking his leg or marking.

String them up untill they think they are going to die.

Vonzeppelinkennels

Wish I could help you out Brandon.I sent 6 sets of swabs 2 yrs ago & never heard a word.Kinda tee d me off.
Dave Quint is probably the man to ask.

Your FAMILY hunt & FAMILY picture is what Christmas is & should be about.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! to all.

Vonzeppelinkennels

With out papers to show what kind of breeding your dogs came from you really have no idea as to how they are bred.My point is they could be bred aswell as any dogs of the breed out there,though unlikely.But stranger things have happened,if they have turned out to be as you say they probably come fro...

Vonzeppelinkennels

Boxa what's the breeding,is that one of the pups sired by Charlie Roses dog? I think you bred to one of his dogs if I'm not mixed up.

Vonzeppelinkennels

I've never had a problem with it & I think after the first time they even like it.
It means were going HUNTING!!

Vonzeppelinkennels

Thanks Brandon you have made that offer more than once & I appreciate it very much,I wish it was that easy.
Tank is in Minnesota,Cologne I believe.I'd have to dig in the closet for the records to make sure.
That's from my memory but been know to get confused in my old age!!

Vonzeppelinkennels

Thanks Lantz.Tank is a very nice dog that attracts attention from whom ever he's around from what I hear.

I think that pic shows the admiration both he & his owner have for each other.

Vonzeppelinkennels

Brandon Buddy looks well conditioned.You guys out that way don't know how lucky you are to have wild birds with out driving hundres of miles to get to them.
I envy all of you but am probably to broke down to take advantage of it if I had it.

Sure would give it a try though!!

Vonzeppelinkennels

Tank the dog in this AD is from my Wendy's 2nd litter sired by Jerry Paddock's FC/AFC Dunfur's Hoosier LB!!
OBTW I'm not selling dog food or have any connections with Loyall pet foods.

Vonzeppelinkennels

Get a crate like used at home put the crate in the back seat & put him in it.Very simple soloution.

Vonzeppelinkennels

My foundation dogs came from Bob Merkel's Wrenegade Kennels & he was a loyall Kasco customer & would feed nothing else.I do believe they went out of business.

Vonzeppelinkennels

Her sire FC/AFC Rasin Ruckuzz is a NFC/FC Dunfur's Where You Ben Gr son on Top & NFC/FC Tonelli's Rising Son Gr son on bottom out of my Wendy who goes back to Bob Merkel's breeding,Dbl Dixieland's Luke bred.

Very Observant Mark!!

Taken care of Thanks for making it so easy.We take our service people for granted way to often.They DESERVE all the Thanks we can give & they need to know how much we appreciate their service.

Vonzeppelinkennels

The grit & bleach will help alot & probably solve your problem.

Vonzeppelinkennels

I have had no experience with your situation,KNOCK ON WOOD.I'm just posting to see if your vet has told you that alot of dogs that tear one ACL chances are they will tear the other.That's my understanding anyway but may be wrong.I'm sure others with that problem will speak up. Good luck with what ev...

Perfect Start & Perfect Finish. Simply because they are the most detailed & easier for a beginner to see & understand what's going on.
