I have the G3 Flyway and I really like it. Granted, it's the only e-collar I've ever owned, but it seems to fit my needs really well. Battery life is excellent, it's easy to operate with one hand,...

My pup was the same way at that age. She just now has started showing real excitement and drive for retrieving at 4 months old. I've followed the same advice as listed above and I think it really...

Thanks for your suggestions. I bumped her up to 2.5 cups. After thinking about it, the weather has gotten a little bit nicer and I've been running her slightly more than normal. She's a thin pup...

I fed my pup BB for a few weeks and it was a great food. Solid stools, very shiny coat, etc. I recently took a new job with a pay cut so I had to find something a bit cheaper. I made the switch to...

For a dog between 20 and 40 pounds, the feeding instructions on Dr. Tim's Kinesis suggest only 1 - 1.75 cups per day. Are you saying I should ignore the recommendations on the bag? I mean, I can...

What I've read on the boards is that a good rule of thumb is to double the pups weight at 4 months old and that'll put you in the ballpark of full-grown weight. So your pup will likely be around 80...

Looks like you're right in the ballpark according to that chart. I've been feeding my pup Dr. Tim's Kinesis and it recommends much less than some other foods. My BLF is a week shy of 4 months and...

We have an early season in Ohio with pretty liberal bag limits. We too shoot a lot of resident golf course geese. I really don't know that I've ever noticed a difference in taste as compared to the...

Yep! A can of your favorite cola is a great substitute for beef bouillon!

I think there are plenty of pointing lab owners out there that would disagree. I bet there are just as many "real labs" out there with poor trainability and weak desire to retrieve.

Lakota's...

My favorite thing to do with geese is just grind it up and make jerky or snack sticks. I usually just save up meat until I have 10 or 15 pounds then run a batch. Goose snack sticks with high-temp...

Dang... sure is a lot of hatred toward pointing labs around here. I guess now I'm glad I do more lurking than posting. I didn't realize my pointing BLF pup was so inferior to the rest of the Labs...

Mine too! There's no better warm up for duck season that shooting a bunch of doves!

I was thinking the same thing. 14# at 14 weeks seems REALLY small. My BLF is 13 weeks old and weighed 21 pounds about a week ago... and she was the runt of the litter. Her litter mates are all in...

New trainer here, so I'm by no means an expert... But it sounds to me like the dog has figured out it doesn't ALWAYS have to respond to the "here" command. One of the most common training tips is to...

Here ya go... $85 and free shipping for the large Vari-Kennel.

My only concern, if using the...

I just picked up a Petmate Vari-Kennel and I'm pretty happy with it. I ordered it from Petco.com... I got 20% off and free shipping. I paid around 81 bucks for a crate that normally runs 100-120...

Thanks for your input! That's a brand that I've not yet heard of... I'll have to check into it.

How about Dr. Tim's? Looks like a quite a few good reviews on it, and it seems to be relatively inexpensive. Which Dr. Tim's food would be ideal for puppies?

Thanks for the link. I spent the last 10 minutes browsing that website and I'll probably spend quite a bit more. Seems to be quite a bit of useful information there. What's really interesting is...

I know this topic has probably been beaten to death, but I'm looking for suggestions on which puppy food to switch to. My 12 week old BLF has been eating Blue Buffalo large breed puppy chicken and...

THANK YOU everyone for the great advice.

I took my Betty down to some local dog training grounds yesterday to meet my two buddies who own Betty's two brothers. Another friend also brought his 3...

A couple of my other friends are meeting tomorrow morning with their pups, which are both brothers to my pup. They are going to have a few quail to show the pups. I was thinking of taking my Betty...

I have what I think could be or may be a potential problem. Today I introduced my 11 week old female pointing lab to live birds for the first time, with the help of a friend. We had two pigeons in...

I started my pup on "place" last week (she's 11 wks old) and she picked it up really fast. I used a plastic bow case first, and now I use a laundry basket flipped upside down. She actually figured...
