Im a Fishng Charter Capt here in VA and am just starting to be able to have time to start Rabbit Hunting. My best dog will be in heat by Jan 1st. Is there anything I can give her (heard of some suff called "No Male" or something) that will keep the males off her. If I bread her will she still go the...

I feed once a day also in the evening. Lots of guys here in VA feed every other day and I have a male that was burying his food so I started doing the same with him to try and make him stop burying. It has not hurt him and he has really stepped up in the field and seems to have increased stamina. Wi...

Ive breed San Juans females and wild rabbits by catching wild rabbits and penning them with ripe San Juans. San Juans would not take or loose the babies before birth. I think I did have one set that was born but died at birth. Ive penned wild rabbits and have had luck keeping them alive for up to 6 ...

My old stock use to come up with dew claws and I just bread a dog from that stock that I had given my brother 7 years ago and the litter threw 1 dew clawed dog. I use nail clippers also and do it day 3 no later than day 5. Vet told me 200 dollars to remove them years ago after one of my dogs hung th...

Gravel Dust is what I use got turned on to it by bunch of beaglers I know. Packs great and can tiller it back up and smooth it out every so often. I bleach and lime mine when I tiller.

I feed Southern States Big Red Professional High Endurance 24/20 and High Energy 26/18 that I get for 17 to 18 dollars a 50#. I can't get a lot of the feeds you all listed here outside of Richmond VA and both of these feed have worked well for me. Purina worked best for me up to using this and I lik...

It a great puppy wormer and will kill tape worms. I use ivermec in the summer and Valbazen in the winter. Its my understanding that ivemec kills everything put tapeworms and Valbazen kills everything but heart worms. 1cc every 10lbs is what i use as dosage for valbazen and use it two consective days...

Mike nice looking pups. I've got a litter 5 weeks old and two more litters on the way so I got you beat on the puppy Mill thing. Do you keep all your dogs? I normally keep two or three out of each litter that I really like and sell the rest. My plan with the three litters I bred this year was to kee...

I use granite dust and have about a 6 to 12 inch base in my pens. Lime it bleach it and turn it over and rake it back out every 3 months. Stuff packs like concrete and drains well. Might have to try pea gravel to see if i like it. To each his own. Had one above ground that dogs never seemed happy in...

Here in Va I got ticketed for hunting out of season years back also becuase I was carrying a 22 pocket pistol While running my dogs. Figured I was OK because of concealed carry permit but no. As far as pulling the trigger on someone trying to steal or hurt my dogs have crossed that road before on a ...

Nice looking CLEAN kennel set up. Good looking Dogs too. Hats off as mine looks like that about once a month. Every day before I clean up one will poop or pee before I get to the last pen and on days like yesteday when I loadem up at 3:30 and get back at 9pm. Maid service/clean up waits until the ne...

Feed is somthing I have had to work with here in Ashland Va. I can't find a lot of the brands you all metioned. I went to feeding Big Red High endurance 26/20 and it seems to be doing well. Any comment from anyone else using the Big Red High endurance? It costing me almost $20 a 50# bag. Would love ...

I think definition of good jump dogs depend on personal likes and what you've seen. I have a buddy who when he goes into the woods can point at a piece of brush and the dogs go in it but I can hunt behind him and jump rabbits he misses as his dogs seem to have little excitement or energy in or out o...

Thanks for the offer matts. The dog I have is actually a Liver or Cocolate Tri- color which Im assuming your saying you have.
