I ran behind Mike this weekend and he and his dog made a really good impression on me. It’s obvious that he is dedicated to his dog and has done a good job of training him. He was cool calm and...

What about Nigel's monkey. Wish I could find that one again.

can i bump this one more time for some comment

I was a little surprised that this post didnt elicit a bit more discussion. I was under the impression too that the dosage was .1cc per 10 lbs, or at least that is what one consitently reads here on...

Sorry for you loss Breck. She was a phenominal dog and always there at the end. I cant remember the exact figures and points but if memory serves me right she was constantly getting second places,...

Most weekends handling on a mark in a triple or a quad would be unacccepatble despite the rule book stating that a quick handle is better than a hunt. Having said that I did get some color the other...

To Ted and a couple of others who espouse that a line to the bird is not important and the mark only is relevant, I have to take exception here and do not agree with you

While the rule book says ...

I may be able to agree with your statement for the youngsters, but those 7, 8, 9, 10 11, and 12 YO "not worth their salt" cant quite agree to that. And we tend to run trials in the heat more than we...

Ed I dont mean to take you to task here but maybe I simply have misunderstood you.
From your first post I understood that you do not use cues, and from your second you say those who do not use...

I have had good experience with Jane Barber for repro. That is her speciality and I could highly recommend her.

I dose orally at 0.10CC per 10 lbs in theory but generally actually under dose at about 75 pct of this in practice most months.

I note that this is an injectable solution for cattle and pigs, why...

Oh come on, 105 greyhounds in the National retriever Championships.. You can do better than that.

Just as an excercise how many of the 105 participants in the 2012 National Retriever Championships fall into your above referenced skanky category. Lets be realistc and not exaggerate simply to back...

In my opinion quite the opposite. The Field dogs are good looking and can work, the bench dogs are ugly and cant work. I know which one I want but I guess each to his own. Beauty in the eye of the...

Isnt this really the crux of the matter and why there is so much difference of opinion on the subject. Ultimately clicker training on its own has not proved itself to be suitably efffective in US...

Come on guys just how pervasive is this practice.
I can see pros co-owning dogs for various reasons but, just so they can run them in an O/H Q?? There is a conspiracy theory just around every...

I shouldnt put words in Mike's mouth but. Fresh shot flyers on a very hot day do not cool and thus tend to stink quickly, (unless you proactively take them out of the field and put them in a fridge /...

You have to condition the dogs to pick up anything at a trial!! My training birds are the ones with the tape on the leg that were discarded first!!

Put a small piece of tape on the leg of all the previously frozen birds for indentication. These are the first to be discarded when you have built up a good supply of fresh flyers to use.

That calculates to about 40 TPLO's a day or approx $140,000 revenue per day.

seems a little high

Friday 10/26 2012 Dow close 13,107.21

is that the number everyone else has??

Mark

Set a reminder in your calendar for 5 or 10 years and refresh this thread with your opinion at that time. Once you have put a few different dogs through various programs you will appreciate his...

I have been using Pet Armor with success due to the reduced cost
However Merial rep told me that the disbursement or carrier material (the inert ingredient) is different and the Frontline is...

if it fires, i.e. goes bang, and the bumper does not come off the machine or just flops off, there are 2 possible causes. Either you have bad O rings or no o rings or possibly you are using the wrong...
