I'M BACK IN THE GAME!!!!
« on: November 25, 2010, 08:48:07 AM »
ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY GSP PUP DIED.  WELL I WASN'T GONNA GET ANOTHER ONE TILL NEXT SPRING, OR EVEN THE SPRING AFTER.  BUT ON WEDNESAY I SAW AN ADD ON CRAIGSLIST TO REHOME A GSP PUP. THE GUY JUST WANTED $75 FOR FOOD AND STUFF HE SPENT MONEY ON.  SO I TALKED TO MY WIFE AND WE JUMPED AT THE OFFER.  I KNOW THAT I WAS TAKING A RISK BY BUYING AN UNTRAINED DOG THAT IS A LITTLE OLDER,  BUT I DO NOT REGRET IT AT ALL.  LUCKY FOLLOWS ALL THE BASIC COMANDS. IS VERY FREINDLY WITH THE WIFE AND KID,  MY KID ALREADY LOVES THE DOG,  AND EVEN GOT A PIGGY BACK RIDE FROM HIM.. LOL  LUCKY ALSO HAS A GREAT PREY DRIVE,  AND POINTS BIRDS VERY NICELY,  CAN'T WAIT TILL I TAKE HIM HUNTING WITH ME!!!   :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:  PICTURES TO COME LATER

I have a GSP now and I was sick when I read you lost yours to Parvo. 
Good luck and start wacking the birds.  Im in the Tri-cities too.  PM me maybe we can get our dogs out together.

that would be awesome.  My dog still needs some work. (plenty of work actually)  but  he'll get there.  I think at 8 months  he should be easy to train.

Test him around noises before you shoot over him.
Then have some fun.
Great find

Very nice looking dog. Was Lucky the previous dog owners name for him?

What a great looking dog. Hope you guys have a lot of great seasons together.  :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

I was wondering about your last pup, you said you lost him to parvo. Is the new dog fully vaccinated against parvo? Have you spoke to your vet about the possibility of the disease being around your place :bdid:? Parvo is nothing to mess with and I just wanted to make sure you took the steps to protect your new family member.

yes.  the guy i got him from said he is vaccinated,  but i talked to the vet and had him vaccinated again just to make sure.   and the day my other pup died a i used several 5 gallon buckets of bleach and water and cleaned the whole yard and garauge.  also threw all the food dishes and toys away.
