Someones hopefully looking for this dog.

From South Dakota Game Fish and Parks facebook site.

For those without facebook, it is a GSP with a orange collar and a tracking collar but no tags or chip.

If the moderators would add this post to the South Dakota board also it would be appreciated.

I am not on Facebook but any more specific info as to location other than Central SD?

I will keep my eyes open around the Huron area this weekend as I am out.

Sure hope they find it. I also made a post in the SD section.

Dustin, This was all that they put on the Facebook site.

Dakota Game, Fish and Parks

This beautiful German shorthair was found in a field in central SD with a tracking collar and orange collar, but no tags. The hunter who found him looked for the owner for hours, drove to nearby farms and ended up at a local vet to check for a chip - no chip. The vet kept the dog for a few days, but called the finder to come pick him up. He's a great dog - any ideas on how to find his owner would be appreciated. Email [email protected]"

Later today:

South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks The finder did have him checked several times for a chip, and has called on the serial number and it's not registered. He contacted hunting dog clubs, vets, humane societies, the sheriff's office and left his number with the tracking collar company. No luck so far.

Im headed back west next Wed night..

I just saw this on FB as well.

Its too bad that a dog can get a way like that and not be recalled being it had an e collar on. Doesn't seem like the owner was putting as much into finding her as the finder was trying to locate the owner.

From SDGFP Facebook page

Update: No owner has been found as of Saturday morning. To answer a lot of questions, the finder checked for ear tattoos, Called the track collar company (the collar was never registered), drove for 2 hours to check with hunters, went to 7 nearby farms, left the dog for 3 days with a vet nearby where he was found, and thanks to all of you on FB, the photo has gone out to 185 other locations including hunting dog groups, rescue groups, humane societies and more. If someone does come forward to claim the dog, the finder will be asking details that will identify the dog. It has several things that will make it easy for the owner to mention. Thank you, everyone, for your interest in helping this dog get home.

Unfortunately, not the ending we wanted, but..

From SDGFP Facebook site:

The finder would like me to thank all of you for your help, offers and good wishes. He placed the dog today with someone who contacted us via Facebook. The GSP will have a great hunting home. We're sorry we couldn't find the original owner, but feel confident the finder checked out the new owner and the dog will have an excellent home.

I used to live in SD, Sad to say this happened alot. People would fly in from all over to Pheasant hunt for the opener. After their hunt, they left items behind because they no longer suited their needs back home. Lots of hunters used to come from out east. You used to be able to go to the Humane Socitey in Sioux Falls after Hunting season started and find some nice hunting dogs (this was 16 years ago, but sure not much has changed.) It is sad that people can treat a dog in a disposable manner. Not saying that it is the case in this instance, but a possiblity.

Wonder if any one has went looking for the owner. this seems like it may be a nasty story with a bad ending for the hunter in the feild. I think this is acually a story about a lost hunter not a dog.

Interesting possibility. Break a leg or have a heart attack and no cell service. I suppose someone would file a missing person report, but maybe not (single retired guy with few family members.) Lets hope not. Lets hope it was just someone who lost their dog and isn't internet savvy. I'd love to have another GSP. Hopefully will continue to have a happy life.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
