I have a few really good tips to get ready for dove season with Fido. I always make it to Yuma for the opener and 120 deg. days are not that un common. Average about 110. A lot of people dont take their dogs to dove hunt because of the heat and its more a waiting and fetching game anyway. I think some people miss out on some fun by not taking the pup. But it is a little hassle. ...

hi all, just wondering what the top attributes you prefer in a good dog? just for fun, please inform me, no right/no wrong.. just info.. to ponder.

After this morning's foray into the fields I think I am going to have to break down and use the e-collar to solidify Milo's (see avatar) recall. I've been very reluctant to use it as he is so soft and shuts down at any negative pressure. I think mild stimulation should work okay with him. In the yard he comes when called without fail. In the field he gets so excited that he only comes when ...

Currently I'm building some more outside runs and kenneling for six dogs in three kennel / runs. Poking round the web I've found nothing that gives a detailed description on how to do this for Mr Joe NonBuilding-Professional, or Miss Joinery Challenged. I thought I might take some snaps and show the method I'm using; pretty simple, safe, strong and weather tight. Should I do this...

Man my house dog has the worst breath i've ever smelled and I think he's going to kill somebody with that horrible stench. Namely, Me. What do you guys do for your dogs with the worst breath. I mean the "worst". It's so bad, damn can't you smell it? I'm serious. I know you're probably laughing at this but I'm in need of a fix, a remedy, a cure, whatever. This dog is about to get kicked ...

I have an appointment to meet a ten month old rescue German Shorthair. He is now in a foster home after being turned in by a couple of @$$hole college kids got him as a puppy. I have no info as to the breeder or anything. Foster 'parents' say he is purebred and he looks it in the photo's. He has bad manners (jumping/not house broken etc.) but she siad he is a sweetheart has has tons of ...

Just weened a litter. Any tips for a speedy reduction. poor girl looks like she is going blow up. I'm already cutting her calories back. Any info in helping her get back in shape would be appreciated. JD

I am pleased to announce that GrCHF CH Vernon de L'Escarbot SH and Ardoise des Deux Pierres Bleues will be having a litter in early August. Vern is a dog of many first in the US. He is the First and only dog of any breed in UKC history to become Grand Champion of the Field. He is also to our knowledge the first American Bred EB to recieve a CACT in France. Vern has recieved his "Champion"...

In the dove thread I posted the pix below, and wanted some comments about snake breaking. Lets do it here as it applies to more then dove season, either one but this is about snakebreaking Heres a den of green mojave rattlers I was sent the pix in an email from a friend who works in the field for a power company. If your dog stumbles into this he's dead I think, I dont think he...
