I do have to admit. In looking on the internet. The Springer Spaniel rescue has older dogs. Different stories with each. My heart goes out to each and every one of them. I realize there is a following of Springers on here. My intent isn't to troll for talk. I just honestly thought of a doggie...

I am buying a home. 7800 Sq ft. lot. 3 foot fence in back yard. 865 sq ft on main floor. Open staircase to basement. Nice house. Suburban type setting. I had an accident in jan of 15. Haven't recovered fully. Can't walk great distances anymore. Might someday? The dog will come with me during...

All you have to do is check rescue. Any breed.

Please excuse my ignorance. What is 'party hunting' ???? EDIT: I just looked it up. Doh! ... I'd rather hunt alone with only a dog. Most enjoyable. If they did that rule here in SD. It would get rid of alot of the idiots on opening day. They never even bring a dog.

There's too many of these idiots out there. All they know is conflict. Can't figure their way out of a wet paper sack. They always show up for opening day. I used to live right in the middle of it. I wouldn't hunt opening day. Those guys are trainers. Trainers for the birds. So they're tougher...

You might put consideration into whether the dog is a 'soft' personality or not. I like soft dogs. I might be wrong in thinking females are more easily soft and courageous. It's part of the personality. They will do for you out of love. You try to be hard with them. They will clam up and give...

Good bird dog's should never die. It just ain't right.

Another way to check salt. Your body will tell you if you need it. Taste a little salt. If it tastes good. You need it. If it doesn't. You don't.

That's what it's all about.

First time Julie and I got into Hunns. She didn't have a clue. Just didn't know the smell. Once she got introduced to their smell. Was a different story.

Might I suggest not a double edged sword? Probably would have never even known a bird was there without Indy. Would have been long gone anyways. At least there was a chance. And a chance to find him again. Indy's was probably thinking: "Waiting on the snail." Good looking crew of dogs there...

I think the OP's question has been answered. Just to add to the thread. I just obtained a Benelli Montefeltro Sport and Field. Traded in three inexpensive shotguns to buy it. I had very recently bought the third one. Didn't like it at all when shooting. Was thinking back. I used to have a...

A little humor... At the checkout counter. People have come up behind me with foods like Alpo. I get all excited and tell them: That's my favorite! ... Then tell the checkout girl that the steak is for the dog.

Congrats! To be honest... he impresses me as more of a "Barney"... That comes from a guy who named his GSP: Julie.

By the looks of that picture. You might be the one getting mad when you don't get to go. :) Hope you took it well. Your statement left much humorous fiction to expand into.
