For those that are interested, I've decided to experiment a bit and buy some quality shampoo and conditioner products for my hunting dogs. I don't bath my dogs very often but I've noticed my young Vizsla's coat is a bit dry and not as shiny compared to some other Vizsla's I've seen at a pointer...

Thank you. He is my 3rd Vizsla and by far my best hunting dog. He turned 2 in December. I just started running him in hunt tests and have been getting a lot of positive comments from judges and trainers after watching him in the field. I got lucky.

My 2010 Kawasaki Teryx S x S. Just had all the fluids switched out, put in new seats and put on new tires. Adding a roading bar to the back to run my dogs. I also am working on renewing my 30 + year old hitch haul. Wire brush, a fresh coat of Rustoleum and some new reflective stickers.

Not a chance. He was inside the truck in the A/C with me. I just wanted to experiment and make sure the sensor worked. I bought a sun shield tarp I'm going to put over the cap of the truck this weekend, to see what type of temp reduction that would provide on a sunny day. I am thinking about...

I used my Sensorpush for the first time at a hunt test this past weekend. Worked perfectly. Outside temp was in the mid to high 70's. Temp inside the kennel in my truck bed with a cap, was over 90. There was a trainer with an Ainley kennel in the back of his truck next to me. I was really...

I think about my old dogs all the time. Especially on long drives when I have too much time to think.

I was at a hunt test this weekend in Missouri and saw several dogs from a well known GSP kennel that I've been told is currently charging $3,000 per pup. Nice looking dogs, but there was nothing magical about the dogs they were running. There are some quality breeders around that produce really...

My Vizsla Goose ran in a hunt test this weekend. It was hot but he earned the first leg towards a Senior Hunter title.

I also have one of these things but I don't use it often. It's a pain to get the water out of it. They didn't put a drain in the original design. I might end up drilling a hole and putting in a rubber stopper. I normally hunt with two dogs and a single food bowl doesn't do much good. I've...

I keep an old 2.5 gallon Coleman cooler in my truck. Easy to clean. Doesn't freeze as quickly as plastic water jugs in winter and I can refill water bottles from it. I carry water bottles in my vest in warm weather or if I'm going to be gone from the truck for a while. I also filter my dogs...

Not much better than bringing home a new pup.

I do not feed in the morning if they are going to be hunting, doing a hunt test or doing a lot of running. I spike their morning water with some soft food to encourage them to drink before the day starts but that's it. I wait at least an hour after hunting before feeding andI float their food in...

My next GSP will come from Odyssey Kennels in Missouri. https://www.odysseygsp.net/

I hunted in negative temps last year and my feet didn't get cold in my uninsulated Irish Setter boots, as long as I kept walking. Merino wool socks help.

I don't know of any dogs personally but we've all read about children being left in vehicles and I assume a dog wouldn't fair any better. I know the temps inside a vehicle can go up quickly on a warm day. I found an article on the issue fwiw...

My brother had one on an old A5 16 gauge. He really liked it a lot.

Not sure there is anything you can do, once you get past a certain distance away.

I have a sensor in my truck bed but I want something inside the dog box too. I mentioned the velcro because when I was researching temp monitors I read a different thread where someone had their monitor hanging inside the dog box off a hook or something. No way my GSP would tolerate that, so I...

I hunted in negative temps this year and one of my dogs hurt his feet on the ice and I had to leave him in the truck the last few days. I have a thermometer in my truck bed but I want to know the temps inside the kennel, going forward. Hot or cold, I want them comfortable and safe. I don't want...

I just bought a Sensorpush monitor for one of my kennels. I am running my Vizsla in upcoming hunt tests and plan on seeing how well it works. If I like it, I'll buy a second one. I am as concerned about cold weather as heat. I hunted in some awful cold weather this year and my Vizsla doesn't...
