I use treats at that age but have had one that I did cc to here at 3 months

It depends. Mainly I would want to know why the dog washed out. If he washed out because of noise, steadiness issues, crack head type behavior,etc he would not make a gundog I would want to hunt with. If he washed out because he just couldn't mark well enough to win field trials then you could end ...

Just saw this. Great post Mark but I feel I need to correct something. My Teal is HRCH/MH but was not a 500 pt dog so maybe that moves EMD up a spot? Teal is still alive and turns 15 in the next month or so but is getting around very slowly.

The generic for Rimadyl is Carprofen. It is not that expensive. It is makes a big difference on my old dogs

I highly recommend Lee Payne. He wil do hips,elbows,EIC and CNM all in one visit.

I've never seen a grand and was thinking about going to watch. Anybody here going? What day yall start running dogs?

There are excellent litters in classifieds on this site. There are litters with puppies available out of hunt test and FT titled parents with health clearances. There are blacks and yellows available from my FC snd a HRCH/MH female.

Tammy, are ya'll going to also put on FTs?

My bad. I see it was black warrior last weekend.

Any news from the hunt test? How was it?

Anyone know of any clinics in the southeast?

What a great tribute.My condolences to you and your family

Dave,

I know all too well the feeling of a hole being ripped from your heart. All of the training and bonding over the course of a decade or more makes it feel as though you've lost a part of yourself.The more special the dog, the more painful the loss. Remember you gave your friend the best life a ...

Sorry for your loss. Cherish the good memories

Bill

Not much to add to DC's reply.Sounds like DC needs to get back in the game!

My opinion is its much easier to buy a new pup. Breeding can get real expensive and a lot of headache if things dont go routinely. C section,etc. Raising and placing a big litter in homes is also a lot of work.

Good luck
