Chad, sent you a pm don't know if you received it or not?

Mark, hope all is well!

I use the Lectro heating mats with Temperature Control. Size wise about half the box size I recommend. That way the dam can lay in the box off the mat if she's too warm and the pups can stay on it. I get them from whoever is cheapest be it ebay, amazon, and etc.

I don't think Large Pack has a requirement for dogs to be shot over.

I have a female that I ran at a Non-Sanctioned trial. The female is tough, clean, flows on the track, chops every breath, and will claim a check quick. She's a nitty and gritty tear up the briars on her belly hunter, excellent search. Anyhow, I thought she looked good eating up most of the checks. S...

No vet or anyone to date can say the shot will prevent a dog from coming down with full blown Lyme disease. You can buy a full bottle of Doxycycline for what the shot costs (maybe cheaper). I probally deal with Lyme 1-4 times each year. I can say for sure once a dog is exposed to Lyme (tests positiv...

Here's a good read on Lyme http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_lyme_disease.html Lyme disease in the dog is an infection for which over 90% of infected dogs will never get sick and the 5-10% that do get sick can be easily treated with a safe inexpensive course of antibiotics. This situation would s...

Terramycin imo is a must have item. You can find it much cheaper on ebay then Tractor Supply.

What time does it start. My son is interested in coming to it.

Each dog being different there's no golden rule. If a young hound will stick a check hard I'd prefer to solo them and let them just figure it out. Some from inexperience or confidence will work it well but give up on a very hard check. I prefer to run a a brace mate with those. The quality of the br...

I've posted before that I've fed Black Gold and several dogs began to litterally starve to death. This was years ago... I guess quality hasn't improved at the same rate as their price increases.

Here in South Central PA I normally see baby rabbits feeding on grass strips like crazy about now. None... I think the rain did a lot of damage. I saw a young one a few days ago but that's been it so far. mosquitoes are the absoloute worst I've seen almost unbearable.

2003 Canadian National LPH 15" Bitch Trial Winner" IFC Branko's Dirty Pond Laika (she won the Canadian NLPH by being the only 15" bitch that could run the hare in the conditions) also she was a IBHF Trial of Champions Winner. She was one tough bitch in snow or on sod in 100 degree temps. IFC Dirty P...

Any reasonable offers?

Quick question for anyone whos had this issue. All of my beagles have had the lyme vaccine but 1 did still get it. does this post any serious issues to him? he had no symptoms or issues, just a random checkup found it. thanks If he doesn't have any symptoms I wouldn't be too worried. Just keep an e...

Ps why breed to the branch when the tree is still alive?

John ,that's just perfect.
