I’m thinking about getting a new hunting dog training/tracking collar. I saw one at Cabela’s that I really liked, but for a hunting dog training collar it’s a bit pricey. However, it has a GPS in it that allows you to track several hunting dogs (provided they have the corresponding collar) and you can also use it as a standard GPS when you don’t have the dogs down. So it kills two birds with one stone so to speak.

This is the collar:

If anyone has any experiences with it, I’d be interested to hear from you.

I also like this hunting dog training collar, as it’s a bit more affordable. However, its not as full of features (less to break perhaps.) But you can get it in one or two dog models – I’m still optimistic I’ll get the second Brittany!

Opinions on this one are welcome as well.

I took Ruby hunting at a club near Portage, Michigan. We had a good hunt, even tho it was a little warm. Unfortunately she cut her leg on something and I had to run her to a local vet. They put in 5 staples and she’ll be fine. Although it might slow her down for the South Dakota trip.

The thing that concerned me was that it took me almost an hour to find and get to an emergency vet as “normal” vet clinics were all closing up for the day. I keep a first aid kit and I know enough to be dangerous, but if it was bleeding worse it could have been a problem.

I had heard of this stuff, EMT Gel, and so I’ve put some in my dog’s gear bag. I’ve got a pretty good first aid kit, but in a pinch I think the EMT Gel could be, literally, a lifesaver.
