Before we kenneled Tilly and Cooper for a week, we kenneled them for a weekend, just so we knew they would be OK with it, and maybe knew we were...
So the first season is over, and it was remarkably un-dramatic. I did not see any real behavior changes in Cooper. A couple of fixed males she...
Tilly's conformation is more like a Show Dog than field. Her dad was an American Field style dog and a Field Trial Champion. Her mom looked...
The weather was so bad that day (mid April) that we could not see the ground (AKA A White Out) on part of the trip back to the ski area. The...
It seems pretty typical. If he is a field dog, esp. an American dog, he may be a lot more lanky when he grows up. At just under 12 months,...
And Cooper makes Tilly look small. Cooper is 80# and 24" at the Shoulder. Even taller in the rear, and still puppy skinny. Tilly can walk...
I've skijored with Tilly, and she is quite a bit of help. Cooper would be even better, she has huge feet and is bigger and stronger. I used to...
We will get some this summer. I probably have lots of photos of Tilly, but Cooper hasn't been in a boat yet. Pics in the canoe are pretty...
Cooper was a little smelly sometimes as a younger pup, but not anymore. Our pup and dog get very few baths. I think Cooper (almost a year) has...
Did the dogs bail our of the Canoe and go swimming? How did you get them back in the boat? Our primary canoe is an 16' Old Town Appalachian...
Anybody else take their dogs out in a Canoe? We have done it with Tilly since she was a pup, but this Summer will be Cooper's first experience....
I got Tilly down from 73 to 67 in about 3 months just by reducing her food. 67 is about perfect for her. You can feel her ribs but not see them....
How far are you from Andorra? 38m is a little low for Skiing. Do you have Cell service. We do a hotspot for internet at our cabin.
Make sure it is over your head, and wear eye protection to.
Our first Lab, Ginger, was a rescue. She was 4 years old and very well trained and cared for by her previous owner. The story was that they...
Tilly is not very happy with small dogs, especially small white dogs.
Be sure to get the shoulder stock. Two reasons: 1. they do kick, much more than you would expect. 2. If you hand hold it, the tendency is to...
I Oregon, for sure, and in all the US that I'm aware of, you can't take a dog into a restaurant or food store, unless they are a "Service Dog"....
I have a Dummy Launcher, which works very well, but they kick quite a lot considering they use a 22 blank (more than my 9mm Beretta 92). Also I...
Tilly was spayed at about 6 months, IIRC. When she came home from the vet after being spayed, she ran into the house and jumped over the sofa....
