Getting a willful, prey-driven hunting dog to heel can be difficult at first. It is one of the most common reasons a handler loses their prize one in the&nbsp;&nbsp;testing system. It’s also one of the reasons owners avoid stimulating environments while walking their dog. The drive within our hunting dogs is the putty from which we play. Because heeling is a drive-based activity, drive can be a benefit or a detriment when it comes to heeling. If done properly, the dog is driven to find its position and its focus is entirely on you. When underdeveloped, the dog prioritizes its natural instincts to lead, protect, and search, resulting in an unsafe and uncontrollable heeling experience.

Teaching Your Dog To Heel

A dog conditioned for big runs in the open prairie with relatively flat terrain may not fare as well in the mountains&nbsp;&nbsp;or the thick brambles of the north country&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;. When the training grounds don’t match the hunting conditions, it’s like training for a marathon but running a Tough Mudder instead. The body will eventually adjust, but not before shortened or lost days in the field due to fatigue or injury.&nbsp;

Dog Conditioning – Physically Preparing Your Dog for the Rigor of Hunting Season

Is it a fuzzy face infatuation that pulls at your heartstrings? Or is it that your dog is a bird-finding machine? For most, it’s probably a combination of the two. When deciding to breed or not to breed, be honest with your motivations. That adorable face comes with heavy liabilities and responsibilities. Unfortunately, the fact that you’re in love with your dog doesn’t necessarily mean it has the genetic traits to better its breed and produce a good&nbsp;.&nbsp; There are temperamental,&nbsp;, and emotional risks when it comes to breeding your dog. Potentially, your dog could pass along temperment issues that could put the owners of your dog’s puppies at risk. You could pass along skeletal or muscular issues that would limit the dog’s ability as a hunter or even to live a life without suffering. Never let your feelings interfere with you making the right choice. Your choice to breed has the potential to impact a large group of buyers and their families. The impacts of poor breeding is a heavy weight to bear.&nbsp;

How to Make the Tough Decision to Not Breed Your Dog

September 1 is one of the most popular hunting dates in the United States. In many states, it’s the opening day of dove season, which is the start of upland hunting for many wing shooting enthusiasts.&nbsp; The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) sets a range of dates, season lengths, and bag limits that states can choose from to harvest doves. Depending on each state’s latitude, there are advantages to selecting early dates, later dates, or even split dates. September 1 is the earliest the USFWS allows any state to open the season for native doves. The list of native doves includes mourning and&nbsp;, although&nbsp;&nbsp;are by far the most commonly harvested dove in the country.&nbsp; Nearly every state selects September 1 or the first Saturday in September as its opening day. This begs the question: Why would southern states want to open as early as northern states when mourning doves are migratory?

To bird dog aficionados, names like Elhew Snakefoot, Count Noble, Shadowoaks Bo, and Manitoba Rap are well known. But to the average person, the names of dogs in our hall of fame mean absolutely nothing at all.  But there are a few dogs from&nbsp;&nbsp;that have achieved fame beyond the bird dog world.

Six Famous Hunting Dogs in History

Clapper rails don’t sing. They cackle. It’s a guttural call emanating from somewhere deep within each tiny bird that reverberates with enough force to trigger a cascade. Once one rail calls, every rail within earshot erupts into its own chorus. The cacophony sends a ripple through the salt marsh and shatters its peaceful silence like glass.&nbsp; Today, however, there is no peace, and there is no silence. It’s already been shattered. A violent collision of arctic air and Gulf Stream winds just smacked the mid-Atlantic shore. Now, the rails and I are caught knee-deep in the chaos.

Which is the better breed: Labrador or Golden Retriever?

In den lakonischen (Wort-)Witz von Arezu Weitholz habe ich mich schon in ihrem melancho­lischen kleinen Reiseroman „Beinahe Alaska“ verliebt. Stilistisch knüpft sie mühelos an, wenn sie jetzt in "Hotel Paraíso"  Synchronsprecherin Frieda, um die 50, an die Algarve schickt, um ein Hotel zu hüten...

„Hotel Paraíso“ von Arezu Weitholz ist im mare-Verlag erschienen. Das Hardcover hat 176 Seiten und kostet 23 €.

Das Porträt von mir, sozusagen im "Hotel Paraíso", hat die wunderbare Fotografin Caren Detje (carendetje.de) gemacht.

112: "Hotel Paraiso" von Arezu Weitholz

Today on Routes & Branches & Beyond it is another episode of "Clearing the Shelf" - where I play some CDs that have been lounging on a "to be played on the radio" shelf.  It is a bit of a cluttered shelf.  Maybe reflecting the cluttered shelf of my mind?  Who knows.  But I have heard that a clean office is a sign of an empty mind.  So I'm not sure about the clutter-to-creativity correlation - I think the science is still not sure of that relationship.

That said, today you'll hear the usual mix,including climate change tunes from Scotland, the cello of resilience, Bach goes to a Cape Breton kitchen party, songs to remember Ron Hynes, reels on the tin sandwich, Irish piano hornpipes, evocative rural roads, inter-celtic siblings, bagpipes on the rave floor, and symphonic abandon.  From musicians such as Breabach, Jocelyn Petit & Ellen Gira, Puirt a Baroque, Silver Wolf Band, Alan Doyle & the Dardanelles, Tommy Basker, Geraldine Cotter, Clancy, O’Connell & Clancy, Relativity, Rare Air, and the Barra Macneils & Sympony Nova Scotia.  Pull up a stool and join me.

Fortalécete en la fe. Sufre penalidades como buen soldado de Cristo. Compite como atleta para ganar el premio. Trabaja como labrador para obtener fruto. Acuérdate de Jesucristo, es por él que sufrimos penalidades y podemos soportar todo. Si perseveramos con él, también reinaremos con él. Evita discusiones vanas. El fundamento de Dios permanece firme. Huye las pasiones juveniles. Devocional: Si perseveramos, también reinaremos con él.
