You're going to spend all kinds of money on that dog throughout its lifetime; don't sweat the initial cost to get a well-bred puppy with health clearances, etc. My current field golden cost...

14 years ago I switched my ~6mo old pup from Large Breed Puppy Eukanuba to Premium Edge. Diahrea stopped. Fed Premium Edge from that point on and only recently have I switched to an old-age formula...

I've been to Spokane several times over the years and you guys would appear to be much dryer (in the summer) that us back here in MN.

Some homeowners and businesses water to keep their lawns plush. I typically do not. Typically my lawn stays kinda green through the dog days of summer. I don't recall seeing my lawn this burnt in...

We are extrememly dry where I'm at in southern Minnesota. My lawn is completely brown.

I guess a lot depends on your style of hunting and the conditions you typically encounter. For me and my style of hunting (mostly midwest pheasant hunting and some duck hunting) I am absolutely...

I'm just south of Mankato as well. Know of any good water to train on?

Very good. You were even able to get one of the dogs on the bottom, going in the other direction.

I have no problem with the real ducks in the pictures. Frankly, I kill as many birds as the next guy. But, I don't particularly like to see wounded animals in pictures. I could care less about the...

So what's more of a "red flag", the 2 fair aunts/uncles on the sires side, or the moderate granddam (and sibling) on the bitches side?

I'm ignorant and am interested in knowing what would be more...

I don't think you get the same results with cold water. I remember doing this as a kid with a coffee cup full of boiling water. It works.

And when your ice fishing in these temps, if you do not drink your beer quick enough, it gets slushy:(

Why would you let the dog out when it's -40?

Because as much as I love them, they're just not peeing and pooping inside.

And water isn't always hard when the ambient air temp is below 32F. A...

Many years we've seen ice late in October. Perhaps I should have said November, but who cares, it doesn't change the point. Every year we end up breaking ice in the late part of the duck season and...

Late October in Minnesota 40 degree water is like warm bath water.

My goldens have never hesitated to launch themselves into water that has ice forming on it to go pick up a bird. They're more...

My old dog went through the same thing a few years back. THey drained it a couple times, taped it tight, medicated him...didn't work. Finally, if memory serves me correctly, they stitched it...

If you cannot afford to own her that's one thing, if you cannot affod to have her on a pro's truck - that's something different.

I would not sell her because you feel that she cannot reach her...

Thanks Sue!

I can't help you with any names, but hopefully my dog's name makes the list in the coming years.

We accomplished our first goal of getting her QAA this past weekend (what a rush!) and will likely...

Where is the GRCA Natl Specialty going to be held next year (if thats been determined)?

Thanks

Thanks. Is that the case for all stakes? I will be running the Q.

Haven't run many trials and am curious about the running order posted on entryexpress.

Does the 1st series typically follow the running order listed - does dog #1 usually or always run first?
...

I used a pinch collar with my current dog when she was around the 5 mo age (maybe younger). I quickly started getting much better compliance than I what I was getting with a choke coller. I found I...

Cool.

If one has a white patch on his/her chest (or elsewhere), and as a result you can't find a taker, let me know.

Thanks for the reply.
