Will you be breeding her?

Everytime my 4 1/2 year old bitch has been on antibiotics (and it seems as if she's on them more often than not) she has gotten an ear infection from her yeast getting out of control. I've heard...

Update on the force fetch training for my 7 year (about to be 8) old yellow lab. She is bringing almost every bumper and delivering to hand (which she never did during the first 8 years of her life)...

When I first decided to do this, my reasoning was that I wanted her along when we take our male to hunt test trials. I said that she was quirky and I wasn't kidding. She has spent the first 7+...

I didn't want to try each pinch...that's how we force fetched my male. Now whenever we try to put ear meds in for him (infections from swimming) you can't even get near him.

Since my last posting, I have worked with my senior lab on the Hold command without anything other than encouagement and a slight pull at the back of the neck to show her that she had to hold it...

We have recently become involved in training our 18 month old male lab to run in Hunt test trials. While we are having a great time, it bothers us to not be able to bring our 7 year old female...

In case anyone else ever has this same question, I called Remington and found out the answer:

You can switch the safety in a model 11-87 from right hand to left hand. There is an after-market kit...

Does anyone know if it is possible to switch the safety on a remington 11-87 from right-hand to left-hand operation?

Two super studs reside up in Wisconsin . . .

1) Erins Edge Double Magnum Ben (http://www.erinsedge.com/)
I know Nancy (Ben's owner) personally. She posts on here often, but is definitely not...

We just noticed that my parent's dogs skin is turning black with little spots.* It seems to be concentrated mostly in her groin and pits.* She isn't itching or scratching and it doesn't seem to be...

Thanks Nancy. By the way, I love my collar. If you haven't heard from him already, my dad will be calling you to order a collar for my Aunt's puppy from our breeding. Also, in case he doesn't...

I had my dog out hunting recently. She flushed and retreived 31 birds for me over eight hours of hunting, and never showed any signs of lameness or soreness. Two days after hunting, I was playing...

If I were you, I'd put a call into a few of the more well know kennels in WI . . . you might try Donnybrook Kennels, Candlewoods Kennels, or Erins Edge Kennels. I have the phone numbers for all...

EIC stands for Exercise Induced Collapse. EIC is a very severe problem and can result in death. Here is a link about EIC- http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/exercise-collapse.html
I'll keep my fingers...

Teri,

So far the one owner isn't having any issues getting her out of the box or getting near the puppies. On the other hand, when the owner who helped her deliver the pups enters into the room...

Thanks. I appreciate you going through all of that work on my behalf. Please do me the favor of thanking your friend for me as well.

Fortunately, at this time, my dog is being cooperative with...

From what I am being told, my whelping female is only allowing one of the two kennel owners where she is whelping her litter to enter her area. Never before has she shown even the faintest hint of...

My chocolate female sliced her pad wide open two years ago. The cut was about an inch long and bled like crazy. The vet was closed, so I just taped it up. Took her to the vet the next day and the...

I was just curious what everyone's opinion was of the Top Dog & Top Dog II videos. I relied heavily on the Top Dog video for training my last gun dog and had great success. I am curious if others...

After taking the time to read all seven pages on that site, I came to a few conclusions:

1) Thank God for the RTF

2) Evan's post was hardly self-promoting and I strongly agree with Leddyman

MikeMeek,

I just wanted to say thanks for your reply . . . I found it very helpful.

A little more info . . .

The tooth is broken off about half way down. There is pulp exposed, but it doesn't seem to be causing her any pain right now. One thing I failed to mention before, is...

My 2 1/2 year old chocolate just broke one of her upper canine teeth. My vet told me the only two options were a root canal ($950-1100) or to have the tooth pulled ($150). Have any of you had a dog...

Thanks for your comments/opinions.
