How do you feel about vaccinating puppies?
pegleg replied to Jess's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
i personally have always vacc my pups and have raised more then a few litters and kept several to death and as a point have always vaccinated all my dogs in the spring and fall. and they get rabies as required.the reason i do is i have never had a bad experience with them if i had i would surely give it thought. i use a five way shat on all my pups and a seven way on the adults i also worm them regularly. i've only ever had two dogs die of any of these causes . one was a 4 month old pup i had bought years ago that died of parvo wether it had been vacinated or not i don't recall. so it can't be -

e collars are well worth thinvestment and work well as long as they are used appropriatly if left on the dog check for sores under prongs i've used alot of models innotech is one of the best but for short range a les expensive model could be used as well just rember to think and plan before using it and be consistent it's a tool not a dog programmer i've seen great dogs ruined by ignorant use of these collars. make sure your dog has a idea of what he's doing wrong first. we use them extensively on our big game hounds and hounds usually arn't as sensitive but can still be ruined. good luck the

ANY WOUND CAN BE STAPLED IT MIGHT REQUIRE A LITTLE FINESSE BUT IT CAN BE DONE .IF THE EDGES ARE DRIED A "LIGHT" BRUSHING WILL OPEN THEM BACK UP A WOUND ON THE NECK IS ACTUALLY MORE IN NEED OF BEING CLOSED BECAUSE OF THE MOVEMENT . AS FAR AS THE TIME PERIOD THAT IS A CASE BY CASE STUDY. BUT IF THE SKIN HASN'T ANCHORED TO THE FLESH YET IT'S PROBABLY OK TO STICH. LEAVE A SMALL AREA OPEN FOR DRAINAGE THE LOWEST POTION. STAPLES ARE ALLSO SO MUCH EASIER TO APPLY THEN STICHES LESS LIKELY TO PULL THROUGH. MOST DOGS TOLLERATE THE STAPLING FARELY WELL. I DON'T KNOW YOUR DOGS PERSONALITY SO CAN'T SAY 10

DO YOU FEEL THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BREED A RESTRICTED GENE POOL AND GET QUALITY DOGS? JUST WONDERING BECAUSE THE BREEDERS HERE THAT HAVE HAD A PROVEN WORKING STRAIN SELDOM GO TO OUT SIDE BLOOD AND WHEN THEY DO IT IS PROBABLY CLOSELY RELATED OR VERY SIMILIAR. THESE SAME BREEDERS ARE ALLSO VERY PROTECTIVE OF THEIR BLOOD LINES . IS THE HYBRID VIGOR THAT IMPORTANT IN LURCHERS OR IS IT JUST A CONTINUAL QWEST FOR PERFECTION?

Fecking dam right. THANKS NICE TO KNOW NOT EVERYONE'S A IDIOT WITH A AGENDA

YOU KNOW THE NEGATIVE RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION IS REALLY SURPRISING. TRUTHFULLY ANYONE OWNING A PET OR WORKING ANIMAL SHOULD KNOW BASIC ANIMAL FIRST AID. AND WORKING DOG OWNERS SHOULD TAKE IT A STEP MORE MY BEING PREPARED WITH A FIST AID KIT ON HAND AT ALL TIMES. I PERSONALY HUNT IN THE WESTERN US AND A TRIP TO A VET CAN LITTERALY BE IMPOSSIBLE. DUE TO TERRAIN , DISTANCE ,WEATHER OR ANY NUMBER OF VERY REAL OBSTACLES INCLUDING TIME. A DOG CAN BE TORN FROM GAME ,BRANCHES OR FENCING AND AS FOR "A REAL DOG MAN" I FEEL IT'S YOUR DUTY TO BE ABLE TO RENDER PROPER FIRST AID AND STAPLING IF REQUIRED .

CLEAN WITH MILD ANTISEPTIC SHAVE ALL HAIR OF CAREFULLY RINSE REMOVE FORIEGN BODYS CHECK DEPTH THEN STAPLE OR STICH GIVE ANTIBIOTIC AS CALLED FOR . TRIM BACK TOENAILS AND MAYBE WRAP IF SCRATCHING IS A PROBLEM. LIGHTLY COVER WOUND WITH A RECOMMENDED LIQUID PROTECTANT. AND WATCH FOR ANY CHANGE IN COLOR OR CONDITION IE SMELLS LEAKAGE . TRY NEW VET NEXT TIME AND HAUL DOG IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER INCEDENT. LEAVE COLLAR OF FOR AWHILE SO IT DOESN'T GET FOULED UP AND HARBOR BACTERIA.

the reason it's not considered the best dog food is simple because of the high incedence of worm infestation and other disease agents that are transferable. freezing and cooking at the proper temps and periods will cover these issues. the loose stools is common because of the high protein and fat. most dogs are acustomed to a mill made diet that is made with grains and their additional fiber is just apart of it. this fiber causes larger more uniform stools. also the fat content in wild pigs is generaly much lower then that of domestic animals. the parasite load can also be much higher in wild

I WAS WONDERING WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCE IN DOGS NOT JUST BREEDING BUT USE AND TYPE SUCH AS WHAT IF ANYTHING DO YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR DOG AT HOME AND WHAT BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE . WHAT BUILD IS BETTER OR WORSE AND HOW MUCH WORK DO YOU EXPEXT FROM YOUR DOG AND DOES THIS CHANGE WITH BREED WHATS THE IDEAL FOR EACH GAME OR IS A ALL PURPOSE DOG BETTER?

I HAVE HUNTED IN FROZEN AND WINDBLOWN CONDITIONS AT 12000 FT. AND 11O DEGREES F IN THE DESERT AND HAVE TO SAY THAT I'LL TAKE THE COLD MOST ALWAYS. A FIRE AND PROPER CLOTHES ARE EASIER TO ADJUST. A GUY CAN'T DRAG A COOLER AROUND WITH HIM. COURSE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN MORE TOLERANT OF COLD THEN HEAT ANY WAY. I DON'T REALLY ENJOY A HEAVY COLD DOWN POUR EITHER BUT IT'S STILL BETTER IN MY MIND.

I ADMIT THE THOUGHT OF LOCKING YOUR CHILDERN MIGHT CROSS ANY PARENTS MIND. BUT FATHERING CHILDERN FROM THEM IS ATHOUGHT THAT IN ITSELF SHOULD RESULT IN CASTERATION BEFORE THE ACT CAN EVEN TAKE PLACE.

It's a difficult question to answer there are obivous reasons to hunt. But you still have to decide why YOU do it and where you draw the line in seasons,age,type,sex ,number ,method,result of a hunt. Generaly if man is persistent enough and willing to use any avaliable method any animal can be mastered or defeated with minimal danger and effort. But then the feeling of acomplishment is minimized or lost altogether. So I think it's impossible for someone to decide why someone else does it and if they are doing it correctly. With the the larger predators we have,the questions are magnified. A ra

yep; same here the great american humane society ethunizes millons of animals that they "saved" every year makes you wonder what the hell twisted logic justifies them. they show a few great success stories to garnish support from the ignorant and stupid to push their agenda which seems they are the only ones able to say for what or how a animal may be used. then the people in the metro areas who have a very limited experience with animals believe them. while the rest of us have to live with protected wolves and grizzles hunting our livestock and pets . i guess things might look regal and maje

I THINK THERE IS'T A UNIVERSAL BEST CHOICE AS GAME AND CONDITIONS VARY SO MUCH. I HAVE TO SAY IT'S A LITTLE ENLIGHTENING TO SEE THE CHOICES THE 6.5X55 AND .243 ARE USED HERE BUT DON'T HAVE A VERY STRONG FOLLOWING EXCEPT PERHAPS IN THE EAST OR FOR YOUNGER HUNTERS.MOST PEOPLE CONSIDER A .25 CAL THE BEGINING AND MOST DON'T GO BELOW .270 WITH THE .30 CALS MUCH MORE POPULAR AND THE 7MM MAGNUMS BEING A CLOSE COMPETITER. BUT IT IS ALSO A REGIONAL CHOICE HERE TOO. THE COUES DEER IS THE SMALLEST SPECIES AT 65-100LBS, IT'S ALSO ONE OF THE LEAST COMMON. I'M SURE THIS WILL SOUND STRANGE TO YOU BUT MY CHOI

interesting commenting on someone elses choice of firearms. why would you feel the need to tell some one what type of gun they could use?just asking because behavior like that would be very poorly received here.the reasons you could request some one not bring a firearm would be limited to legality and safety. anyway the most common are either pump/slide actions or semi auto's here. i own other actions but just can't find the alure in them. might be a cultural thing?
