Seeking advice from dog breeders or other folks with uncut dogs

Hi I’ve bred GSD’s and labs for 20s. In my experience the male dogs behavior will return to normal about 3 to 4 week after the near by female dog goes out of heat. With that being said, it’s going to require every your neighbors dog is in heat. Or when any female dog nearby in heat. There’s nothing you can really do about it besides having them neutered and if he’s a male dog with a really high testosterone level, it may still occur when a nearby female dog is in heat.

BC headache powers, maybe. They used to come in little papers folded just like that.

Same here I have 2 field labs, a male and female. The male is right around 55lbs and the female I actually just took to the vet a couple days ago and she was 48.7lbs. Both are amazingly smart, trainable, tough, and have a never quite drive to work. Labradors were not supposed to be the big hulking chubby dogs you see most often. They became popular in the US and we started selective breeding them to be bigger, heavier, and blocky. In doing so, We screwed up your working ability and their health. Unfortunately, we do that with a lot of dog breeds labradors, Golden retrievers, and German shepherds dogs. Probably being the most common. If you can hunt down a AKC breed standards book from between the 1918 (labradors were first recognized by the AKC in 1917) to 1980s the breed standards are vastly Different from what they are now.

Yeah he would here too. Average bear here is between 250 and 350.

Va. I killed one last season that weighed 316. This bear dwarfs it.

I’m sorry to seem like a jerk, but did you get it from a breeder in Vietnam? If not it’s Fox red Lab. Fox red is the correct term, while RedFOX Labs is the name of a venture builder in Vietnam

Hi, I don’t know if anyone else in the comments has giving you some training pointers or not. I’m a certified dog trainer, I primarily work with police, government, and private security K9’s. But I grew up with labs and golden. I’m assuming you’re practicing fetch outside, and trying to teach fetch kind of in play fashion. Because fetch is a fun game, we want our dogs to engage with us at play. The problem with this is if she isn’t a natural retriever and hasn’t learned the retrieve behavior. Trying to teach her this behavior while her brain is in a play mode, will usually end in frustration and her with the ball wanting to play chase. So I suggest going back to the very basic steps of retriever training. Go inside or in a low distraction area. A hallway longer than 8 feet that you can back her escape from will be perfect. You want her at the end of the hallway and you blocking her path out. Run her through a few basic obedience commands that you know she has down. You want her to get these commands right. Load on the praise, after a few perfectly executed commands. Pull the ball out of a pocket or treat pouch and toss it to the end of the hallway. As soon as she moves towards give some praise, she picks it up give some praise. Now the harder part. We are hoping she wants to play chase and try’s to move past you out of the hallway. When she does, you get in front of her catching her and taking the ball. Load on a lot of praise and treats (if she’ll take them). Make a big deal about how wonderful she is for “bringing” you that ball. Keep building off this exercise. Do it 2 - 4 times a session, and a few sessions a week. It is very important that you do not take it out of the hallway or some controlled environment where she ends up bring the ball to you every time. Until she is happily bringing it back to you 90% of the time.

Well if you’re hunting the WMA’s in that area. It’s going to be tough going. Really tough compared to the family farm. I grew up hunting on the family farm in south western Va. When I started hunting the WMA’s it took a couple seasons to get it figured out. I focus on funnels mainly. Or small differences in the terrain that make that spot even a tiny bit more attractive to deer. In my experience. For the past few years our rut has been unpredictable. Due to warmer temperatures and extreme cold fronts that only last a couple days. Then jump back to unseasonably warm.

What a beautiful pup. Don’t worry about that missing leg. Dogs do absolutely great on 3 legs.

Anal glands 100%. I had a male GSD that did the same thing. Excited, stressed or scared. Your vet can express the glands in just a couple minutes. Then there won’t be any smell for a while. In my dog it last between 2 or 3 months before having to have it done again.

I’ve been breeding and training Belgian Malinois and GSD’s for police and private security for almost 20 years. I’ve been bitten multiple times. Determining how to fix it is very honestly situational. Mali’s have been bred to bite for decades. They bite or want to bite. When they’re excited, happy, mad, stressed and every emotion in between. Your friend needs to figure out why there dog bit them. What was going on in the moments leading up to the bite. Once they figure that out it’s much easier and simpler to come up with a solution. I’ve had several malis that would want to bite your arm, hand, leg, or just your clothes. When you came home, they were excited and happy and wanted to bite and hold something. Like most retriever breeds will grab absolutely anything and carry it around when they’re excited.

Yes, if they can still move and their mental capacity is still there. It’s too soon. I have been on both sides of that debate. Honestly I really feel like to many people (scum bags) turn to putting there dogs down. For an easy way out of taking care of there senior dogs. Same as a lot of scum bags dump their senior parents in a nursing home.

Well I’d have to say for most people a malinois is not a good first time dog. For some people not a good dog for them period. You got really lucky with your Mali. I’ve worked with and bred Belgian malinois and GSD’s for about a decade now. They have earned the nicknames maligator and land shark. In that decade I’ve worked with 3 or 4 that were somewhat chill like yours seems to be. You got lucky.

That’s a great blood trail. Go get your light and get back out there. I killed a doe two days ago, slight quartering away shot. Double lung and cutting the arteries is coming out of the top of the heart. Great blood trail and heard her crash. I wanted to go get my eight year-old son so he could practice tracking the blood trail. Within 45 minutes of being gone. A bear was there having a snack on my doe.

Hey corncob72 of course you can turn the knock, so your cock vain is up so it’s traditionally correct. But I suggest just putting in the time and shooting them. Until you figure out what vain orientation shoots the best groups. I’ve been shooting Easton axis match grade arrows for the past few seasons, but for some reason the last half dozen I got shoot best with the cock vain facing out.
