Ive been feeding Nutro (or Natural Choice) for about 10 months. My YLF's stomach just would not tolerate Pro Plan. This food came highly recommended and so far the results have been good, but not...

Awesome pictures! Still snow up in the ski valley at Taos? Had planned on making a trip this winter, but ran out of time.

Neutrophils being elevated in the context of other parameters may suggest the body is attempting to fight off a perceived threat/infection (including the dog's own platelets). However, this elevated...

From one amateur to another, when you think your dog has something down good....you are about 75-80% of the way there. I am guilty as charged, I moved too quickly on my first dog because she "got"...

So for this steady drill, will you be next to you dog using a heeling stick or collar correcting a break? Or do you stake them out?
I know my girl can use more work on steadying and honoring. So...

Awesome!!! Thank you, I just signed up.

Have you used frozen/dead birds on FTP? I know a session with birds randomly, puts gas to the fire for mine.

Tritronics...do you think the Flyway is best? Gets a lot of votes on here from some experienced members. Its on my wishlist too. Thank you Chris! Glad you joined the site.

Sounds like mine! Scooped many petrified looking turds the last 6 months....mine cant walk past a shrub or bush without snacking on abranch

Obvious answer to me...I can't tell you how many times we go hunting and throw 2 dogs (smaller females) in a Large crate. Hell an XL would probably fit 3.
Might consider breaking down 1-2 kennels...

Thanks for the responses, I think we have more to look into now.
Breck - *Correction - her original issue was deep in the center of her paw by the pad. Now since it involves the tissue between the...

Thanks for all the responses, I guess we will try a taper off the old food and into some different food. I feed my YLF nutro which does not contain corn gluten or lamb meal, which Science diet did....

Just looking for some insight and knowledge from the RTF members, I know there is a lot out there. We have a house dog in addition to my YLF that is a mix (cairn terrier, shih tzu, llahsa apsa) and...

Thank you for the post Eric!

Happy birthday!

Here is a dumb question, because I had only taught my 1st dog 3 handed casting, and did a poor job at it, nor did I ever utilize what she did know of casting to solidify it. My 2nd dog I am working...

I believe MooserGooser may be your answer, he did some awesome work. Handmade wooden boxes to hold the ashes?
i remember a thread awhile back with pictures.

Your use of a checkcord is great. Try to keep the retrieves brief and fun, plenty of time for formal marks later. Introduction to them is good if you have help, but make sure she isnt losing focus....

This instance (because my last female was unaffected by her cycle) had me questioning my choice in a female, but then i think back to watching all the male dogs in our group run and how they mark...

My uncle told me to just take a few days off when they come into heat, but my 10 month just cycled and we kept training. Similar situation as you, some days she had me wowwed in the best ways, but...

I know I was having this problem too. Like Evan said, key was the rope for yard work teaching the pile (starting 5 ft from pile, and max 20-25 ft) once we had that down it was to a larger field we...

Video #3 - I really liked his stop to the whistle. My girl is the same age as Rowdy, but CC to "here" must've been too good, because I have a hard time stopping her for a whistle sit when she is...

Original post and Happy's above made for a great thread! :) Had to laugh at the Porsche joke

So back to questions about "cigarring." At what point do you consider it to be an issue? Example: my 10 month old YLF is currently working on wrapping up the intro/teaching to casting before we...

South Dakota. Must have great dogs. We use retrievers with strong pointing backgrounds. We usually go late season between Thanksgiving and New Years depending on when I make it up there. Lots of...
