Your vet is going to be able to buy a new boat if you keep bringing your dog in for minor skin tears like that. The only time I get these stitched is during the hunting season when I need all of the dog power that I can get. Last year my old dog hit a fence post in an abandoned farm yard in North Da...

Blitz has four National Champion titles and he was sire of 3 of the Futurity winners and grandsire of the other one. Blitz has sired a NFC, but I am not sure what Marly has produced. As of September, Blitz's daughter is #1 Open and #3 Amateur trial wirehair. I don't see any Marley offspring in the l...

I have the 2003 GWPCA National Champion Backwoods Sure Shot Wilson. I just shipped the last pup out of a litter sired by FC Wilsons Famous Amos owned by Brenda Roe. He also won the Puppy Championship at the 2008 Nationals. Wilson placed 3rd in the Amateur Championship this year at the Nationals and...

IMO, a weight distributing hitch would be the last thing that you would want for a trailer with a light tongue. A 35 gallon water tank in the front section would help a lot towards balancing the load.

wannabe

If you can't move the gate forward, tie your horse at the front corner. When you get the front half set up with dog boxes, tack storage, and a water tank, it will help balance the load. The tongue weight should be 1/10 of the total weight of the trialer.

I bought 2 bags of Exceed Chx & Rice yesterday. I have been feeding Diamond Natural Extreme Athlete since they took the Exceed off of the shelves and the dogs gut never really adjusted and they are having a tough time maintaining weight. Hopefully things will straighten out soon before winter hits. ...

I had a dog that reacted to his first lepto vaccine. He started whining and itching at the injection site almost immediately and within seconds he on the floor puking and pooping with his eyes rolled back in his head. I didn't have any epi or injectible benadryl on hand, so I called the vet and they...

can someone tell me how much oil to start with if i want to add weight to my dog. Currently the dog is around 60 pounds and all ribs are showing. I have supplemented with a tablespoon or two of corn oil, but I had better luck with an ounce or two of lamb/goat milk replacer. Supplement gradually so ...

wannabe

My dogs perform better when they have a little fat on them. They hunt harder, longer, and find more birds when they have enough fat to barely see their ribs. How long does the glycogen in their muscles last, and how long does it take to replenish it? IMO, a healthy well conditioned dogs needs fat to...

Another advantage to a plantation saddle is that it puts the rider closer to the horse instead of perched on a suspended seat like the trooper. I have had horses bolt out from under me while riding in a trooper, but they haven't been able to shake me out of my deep seated plantation saddle. Another ...

I sold my beloved Tarpin Hill trooper saddle and replaced it with a Simco plantation saddle because the trooper was too long for my horse's back. I am currently riding a Steele plantation saddle.

Greg, Crossfit may be overkill for your goals, and P90X is a 12-week program (what do you do afterwards???).

I haven't been back to Sam's since I switched the dogs over to Diamond Extreme Athlete, so I don't know whether they are stocking it yet. So far, I am very happy with the switch. The kennels are easier to clean, I am feeding about 25% less, and the dogs seem to be eating with more enthusiasm. I have...

I called a hunting buddy from Atlanta to see if he knew anything about the virus. He called 5 vets in the area and none of them had the vaccine or had treated a case of H3N8. I am supposed to go pick up the boosters tomorrow, but now I am wondering whether my vet is ahead of the game or just overrea...

I would also recommend not lifting to exhaustion; leaving a few reps in "the tank" is what makes you stronger. Completely untrue. Lifting to exhaustion at the end of every set is how you build muscle. If you want to train for endurance, that is another thing. But not lifting to exhaustion will not ...

wannabe

That seems like a lot of work, Greg. You could probably get just as good of results in half the time with a day of deadlifts and weighted dips and another day of overhead presses and weighted pull ups. You will get your push and pull with all of the important muscle groups. I would also recommend no...

Has anyone seen this yet? The vet caught me off guard today and sold me enough vaccines for the whole kennel. I am going to be traveling, hunting, and competing with dogs from the Georgia area this Fall, so $150 is pretty cheap insurance if it keeps the gang healthy through the season. http://www.cd...

We can fit 4 walking horses in a 8x8 stock area if we alternate which side we tie them up. The last horse knows the routine, so he throws his shoulder and hip into the 3rd horse to make sure there is enough room for him.

I agree with Casper. Split the trip into two days of driving and find a motel or campground where you can stake the horses out for the night. Some horses won't pee in the trailer because they can't stretch out, and if they do, the floor gets slick. The horses are standing and bracing themselves the ...

Two of my best hunting dogs were spayed/neutered. IMO, the male hunted better afterwards because his life revolved around bird hunting instead of worrying about the bitch in heat, marking his territory, or other male dogs. The female never missed a trial because of her heat cycle and she went on to ...

I stopped by Sam's yesterday to see if they had any yet, when I inquired at customer service they had no idea when they were going to get more.

I am down to 1 1/2 bags, so if I don't see it on the shelves soon I will be looking for another product.

It's mainly an amateur trial this weekend. Mark Smith is the only pro coming.

It's August. All of the pros are still out west on the prairie with our dogs...

From what I understand, it seems to be a local voluntary recall. Someone complained about the oil seeping through the bag (has the bag changed?) and Sam's pulled it off the shelf. They had it in the back room, but they refused to sell me any. :x There is another store about an hour away with tons of...

Does anyone know the details of the latest recall on Member's Mark Exceed?

Used to be the weekend before Eastern Iowa instead of the same weekend. I would much rather compete in both trials instead of having to choose between the two.

It sure was nice to see some of "The Bong Boys" last weekend. Vern rounded them up and put on a nice little trial despite the crappy weather.

I have ridden them all, and my favorite trooper saddle is the Tarpin Hill/Hesket. I have a Tucker in the trailer in case someone needs to borrow a horse, but I rarely ride it myself.

I bought two bags of Exceed C&R today. There was a whole pallet of both C&R and L&R on the shelf.

It sounds like there is g...

It has always been my understanding that Doane's has been making the Exceed Chicken formula and Purina has been making the Lamb formula.

Straight grass hay and pasture is ideal. Wild pasture is actually best but not many folks have that. Grain is a supplement for anticipated hard work (not hobby horse riding) or as mentioned above as a pity snack. A horse is designed to have a belly full of roughage for good health.

I'm with Ned on this discussion. If the dog is carrying a cold dead bird, leave him down; if the bird is live or warm, hook him up. This is a wind-up bird game, and if your dog won't point a half dead quail, then you need to stick with wild bird hunting or wild bird trials. After reading through thi...

If I am judging, I don't care whether the backing dog can see the pointing dog or if he is just backing the situation; just as long as he stops and doesn't interfere with the bird work.

My dog crossed behind it about 30 yards away and arguably blinked it once because I don't know whether he saw it or even looked at it. Then my dog ran around some bushes, saw the dog crept in a bit and backed/pointed about 25 feet behind the bracemate.

It sounds like he stole point from behind.
