Some breeders swear by adding 500mg vitamin C once a day (human kind) and glucosamine/chondroitin/ MSM pill once a day. It helped a pup I had with it. That and crate rest and controlled exercise for...

Weebly is the easiest I've tried and priced well too. But it's cheaper to buy you domain (website name) with GoDaddy and connect it to your weebly account. It's drag and drop. You can start with a...

One thing a breeder can do is to advertise or put on their website that most puppies are sold with Limited registration. And that Full registration may be considered at the breeders discretion. Or...

We love our battery powered water tank, works likes a regular hose. Also, fans are a necessity if you train where it gets warm. Make sure your fans am work when truck is off without draining your...

Not trying to be smart, but why does OFA show that some Labs have tested to be "at risk" and "carrier" of DM though the genetic test? Are those false positives?

And if a dog is affected by DM,...

May sound odd, but do retriever training with the dog. My parents have a Malinois and she loves to retrieve, so did her sire. See if your dog will retrieve and work him with your other dogs.

I was doing some pedigree research and clicked on a link to a website for one of the dogs. The bio on this dog said he died from Degenerative Myelopathy. He died only a few years ago. I have no idea...

First hand experience. Get a youth model for sure. Hated the Remington 1100, kicked hard and had trouble loading it at times. My favorite is my Franchi 20 ga youth model, not a bad kick and user...

Find someone to video both days of the hunt test for you this weekend. You can see how the dog runs for the pro. You can also watch both videos and compare your handling to the pro's.

You might consider purchasing a started dog. That is a dog that is not a little puppy and has some training. Started dogs typically range in age from 5 months to several years of age. Training levels...

I agree there was probably a lot of inbreeding and line breeding to keep the gene at first. But breeding a non dilute gene carrying chocolate to a Weim produces all dark colored dogs, no "silvers." A...

Isle of Dogs, Evening Primrose Oil Shampoo. Expensive but good. Search the internet for it.

Just to clarify, they don't "fade" in every case. If you want to know for sure if your dog carries RD/OSD, do the genetic test. Optigen is the only company that tests for it.

Read this from the CERF website: http://www.vmdb.org/dx.html
It says in the last sentence that dogs with geographic folds cannot be certified.

In regards to breeding, if wanting to breed a dog and it has focal and/or multi-focal folds, test for RD/OSD. If clear, the dog may receive a CERF number. If the dog is a carrier, it cannot receive a...

This is becoming a common problem. Im not sure what you can do to stop them either. I use PicMonkey, a mostly free web tool, to watermark my pics.

Looks like she can be messaged through Find Retrievers.com.

I'll have to disagree on this. The female dog with so-so work ethic is very bonded with my husband(think daily naps with him in the recliner, staring at the door waiting on him to come home) as...

My parents have one and haven't done a great job training her. She has bitten when accidentally hurt and has tried to bite the vet. I don't trust her and never will. Although she respects me...

Glad to see opinions are changing. As long as it is a good combination of the other traits the dogs' possess. The chocolate nosed yellows are not shown to have any more health issues than the black...

Good work ethic is needed to train a dog. Although one can be trained with a lesser amount of work ethic- just not sure to what level. What I can say, it that it is much more pleasurable to train a...

I was thinking of a decently bred, titled female with health clearances who is worthy of being bred. I thought the ideas might have changed since it is much easier and not too costly to test dogs for...

If you are a stud owner, would you allow a yellow to chocolate breeding with your stud? Would it make any difference if the chocolate dog did not carry yellow, thereby producing an all black litter? ...

Do the owners of such nice studs not require females to be tested, regardless of EIC, CNM, etc status of their dog? If I had such a nice stud who was clear of everything, I think I would still...
