    Recipes for Roosters

    One of our house favorites is pheasant tortilla soup. I always put an extra bird or two in the soup to marinate and then pull them out and eat separate later.

    Why do you got what you got?

    I love GSPs! They are multi-purpose versatile dogs, Remy! I hunt in the prairies, fields, woods, and water with mine. Granted it’s not the same as a great lab in the water but my gsp will locate and retrieve any cripple as good or better than most. Big ranging in the fields and works closer...

    Tail feather: how long

    Picking a new pointer puppy

    Tick medicine

    My vet recommended I keep him on bravecto year round (and I don’t buy my bravecto from the vet, either). I have a gsp, so a quick brushing before he goes in the house is real easy. No ticks.
