Doc I'm cautious every since I had one pup out of a litter of six die for parvo 3 years ago. How long should I wait after their first shot if I think one doesn't have a normal stew like the rest to have it check by my vet for parvo. Remember I got rid of the old puppy kennel and have kept them off t...

About three years ago I had a litter of six pups. I took them to my vet and had thier first shot given. the next day I notice one wasn't acting like itself. I took it back to my vet and she check it out and treated it. It finually got real sick and I took it back, but my vet never check it to see if...

I've been to a few trials where they have travel up to 45 minutes one away. The only thing that having spots far from where you hold your trial at is that it takes longer to get done. Most people don't mind traveling to spots as long as they have rabbits that they can run. If you have ever been to t...

J. This male I bred to has Norhtway Spur, Joe Scott, Colby Hill Flora, Oakdale Rusty and numerous others in his pedigree. Chuck

J. I bred to some more Coby Hill breeding and I would like too come to the Grand Nationals but I've been laid off all summer and other the my Birch Lake female I really don't have anything to trial with.

I've also been having trouble and it seems to have been very slow lately.

Big Dog I stayed at the Motel 6 in Morgantown. It's a new motel not far away and very nice. Chuck

I've judged a few hounds over the years and I've seem to notice that the Red and White or the ones mostly white heat faster in a cast than the Black and Tans. Chuck

J, Ruby is doing great I haven't breed her, but the Linebred Birch Lake Mic pups are doing real good at one year old. I bred my Mic female back to some more Colby Hill stock she is due Sept. !st. Chuck

I've used cedar bedding for years now I haven't seen any different in my dogs. I use straw in the winter months, but I change to cedar bedding to combat fleas and ticks use now I haven't had any problem with. Chuck

I use a large dog crate that I hace for my Rotwieler. I bring my dog im the house where I can keep a close on her while she is having her pups. I will have used this on four litters when she has this litter at the end of this month. Chuck

Steve I'm laid off and I'm thinking about trying hauling dogs for awhile. Could you tell me how you work it. What it takes to get into it.My e-mail is cjrb@btc-bci.com Thanks Chuck

All of these are judgement calls there is no sorting at the end. For example say you in a cast everybody sees the rabbit go from the swaamp to a field and the judge follows. When the dogs get into the field they can't do anything with the rabbit, but the handlers see the rabbit come out of the field...

I posted this subject under fielf trials, but it seems that nobdy has an opinion. I was wondering how people felt about judges that don't give a minus quick enough. Or when judges are to quick to give minuses to dogs in a cast. Please don't be shy. Chuck
