I use vapor tight fixtures out of old walk in coolers. The fixture is sealed by a heavy duty glass screw on jar that you can see the bulb through but a hound can do nothing with it. If your bulb goes out you unscrew the glass jar replace the bulb and screw the jar back on. Most walk in coolers now u...

Great loss for not only John and family but the whole beagle community. Marie was the sweetest and most caring LADY, my wife and I had many many great weekends at South Texas getting to know and love Marie and John, she will be sorely missed and the trips down just won't be the same. I'll never forg...

Rubber gloves may help holding on to slippery pups. But I know why you want them.LOL Most dogs vary from 100.5 to 102.5 you'll only know her normal temp if you've checked her before. Since I know you haven't just look for the drop like Ronny said. If the temperature gets up to 103 or above you have ...

With the dog STANDING: Clean the thermometer with alcohol. Wipe off excess with a cotton ball. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly (vaseline) to the head or bulb of a rectal thermometer. Just enough to lubricate the tip. Slowly slide the thermometer into the dog's rectum about 1 inch deep. Wait ...

LOL Well at least it wasn't a total loss depending on the caliber. LOL

Don't worry about posting on your thread, thats what this is for. I understand your worried, been there. I bred a female for a lady last year, gyp swole up some but never like she should have. The lady waited till her delivery time and took her to the vet, no pups but she had milk and was nesting. B...

I watched them all Joey and if I had to bet money I would say false pregnancy. Did you see the mating and what day of her cycle was it made (after first blood)? My females really bag up the last few days before delivery, yours doesn't appear to be doing so.

I remember (home mortgages) Actually we've just put root stimulator on some 9 or 10 year old dormant roots and they've grown beyond belief in just a few months. Must have been Miracle Grow, or at least thats what the majority thought.

Stimulus Bill my arse. Do some reading of it and you'll soon see we're paying for his election, lets don't kid ourselves.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, una...

Killntm, you answered your own question in your last sentence. She's slippen the line, cheating to get out on the pack. She will do good under an inexperienced judge but not a real one. (LOL) I've got 1 hound that is the best cheater I've ever seen, he plays off the other hounds and can make it look...

I have one who did the same thing at about 2 when I put a male in with him, but not near as bad if I put him in with another male. I eventually ran a true bad boy in on him and let him get ragged around for about a week. He calmed down right fine and dandy. I learned to always load him in the box la...

If you can see in the picture there is double layered metal up to 4' high inside with insulation between it and the outside metal. It's considerably hotter the higher up in the barn you go but down low where the hounds are it doesn't get too bad. I have fans installed with a timed sprinkler that wil...

Here's a couple of my ground kennels and above ground. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w246/chaingangfido/GangsKennel.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w246/chaingangfido/Kennel.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w246/chaingangfido/HomemadeKennel.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w2...

Been feeding 17 hounds the Pink Bag 26/16 Lamb and Rice for over 6 years with no problems whatsoever for the hounds. Never had sick one's or anything. Plenty of stamina, slick shiny coats, firm stool. I give away feed won at trials no matter the brand. 1 cup per hound per day with 1 stool per dog pe...
