I just don't want to expire and leave a dog behind. Quail hunting is like walking into, and out of a beautiful painting all day long. Gene Hill

Besides she would keep you going There is time, and you must take it, to lay your hand on your dog's head as you walk past him lying on the floor or on his settle, time to talk with him, to remember with him, time to please him, time you can't buy back once he's gone" GBE

Not if you have the time, money, space, and a place to run them. Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden. Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.

And those costs are year round, not just 3 months a year. Then you have vaccines, wormers, etc. that are also year round, not to mention vet bills for rabies or any kind of injuries. Then you have kennel maintenance / repairs and the commitment to take care of all of them everyday, rain or shine, cold, wet, icy, doesn't matter, the dogs need out of the kennel everyday to stretch their legs and explore a bit. The only thing I don't like, is that it is next to impossible for my wife and I to go anywhere, I would have to get a buddy to come stay at my house just so we could take a vacation, (we live next door to my parents but they can't handle them) we haven't been on a vacation since 2001 (only had 2 dogs then - boarded them). But in all honesty, if my buddy in Oklahoma had gotten some pups out of his female EP, I was going to get one. Can never have too many bird dogs, right?

I'm about to switch everyone over to Ivomec injectible to save money on heartworm meds. See how that goes.

Be sure you do not get the one for Liver Flukes Get the plain kind and squirt it down their throat. 1/2 cc for a 50 pound dog. Never give more than 1/2 cc to any dog. 100 unit syringes work well. Be sure and get at least a 26 gauge needle. Ivomec is thick. Bobby Barnett

We drove all the way to Lubbock & back in the same day once because of a funeral (7+ hrs each way, plus the time spent at the funeral). Long day. But having a truck load of bird finders come bird season made it worth while. Originally Posted by bill oxner Haven't had it in years but never spit any out.
