PM me and maybe you can catch a day to go cooning with us or come over!! We don't hike much up the North Fork during the summer.... tourists, grizz, wolves, traffic.. oh did I mention tourists!! We coon on a friends farm and start legging up the dogs later in Sept. on the BLM behind our house for li...

We had a heeler that didn't really hunt but she would let you know were the hounds were!!

This is why I have stayed with this site for sooo long!! You guys should get together and write a book!! That way these stories would never be lost.

Here are a few thoughts.. One cause can be a brain tumor BUT the chances of this is pretty small. At the vet. hospital I work at 1-2 seizures a month is not something we would medicate. The meds for treating seizures are a controlled substance, in some dogs it makes them "spaced out", so y...

I agree with the above post.. My 2 cents is that the recovery and rehab of the dog is what makes the dog sound again! Good Luck

We have 5 hounds; 3 spayed females, 1 cut male and 1 intact male. They live in a 1/4 acre yard that they have acess to all day and at night they are seperated into 2 kennels. We feed everyone at the same time and only have minor corrections. As a whole there are small fights every once in a while. T...

That 1st pic has trip to the vet written all over it!!

All above posts are right on here is a few things that we do to help our old timers... 1. Science Diet J\d food (it is the most reaserched dog food around, our 11 year old Plott is still going because of it, worth looking into).. it is $$$$$$$ but it works and a joint supplement. 2. Never used the i...

During cat season we add the SD High Engery to their rations and add a noon feed if we can and are hunting hard. Older dogs get joint supp.(Phycox Chews...

I think my husband is on the count down track as well. I noticed all his gear is getting the once over and the "need for this season" gear list has been started.. He has been out cooning a bit but I have noticed evenings are getting blocked off to leg up the pack!! Lets hope this cool weat...

I have a few questions... 1. How often was and is the horse getting trimmed\shoes? 2. Has the horse had a history of foot issues? I was always taught that you look at the foot before the rest of the horse.. more so for using horses than arena horses. Depending on the crack and with trimming\shoeing ...

My rule of thumb is the kids age and horses age should = 20 or my other favorite saying is.. green horse and green rider = black and blue!! Go to an outfitter or guest ranch at the end of the year and see of they have any older mountain broke stock!! Sometimes a horse is good but just not working ou...
