you are being just a teensy bit vague don't ya think.

all i can say is great dogs, loyal companion, great nose, great memory, hard driving retrievers. hardy. built for cold water. i had one once that could smell a flock of ducks flying before they came into sight if the wind was right.

right now i have one that his sense of smell is so strong that he can actualy sniff out and locate a school of crappies through the ice!! believe it or not he was featured on ripleys believe it or not. i could show you some pictures.

if you hunt fowl, and have room for, and time to excersize them, and have patience while training,then they might be the breed 4 you. i have found repetitive training is the ticket. they may seem dumber than a box of rocks at times, but they are taking in every thing. once they have it in their brain they will never forget it. locked in.

i love em. smile.gif

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, JINGLESTICK

So thank you again for your post.

Chesies is the only dog I've owned. Had good ones and bad. You get a good chessie and you just got the best dog you'll ever own. They are loyal, determined and protective. They sometimes can be stubborn, but that goes along with the determination factor. IMO You really need to understand them to make them good. The good ones will easily and happily go through stuff that you can't even stand to watch on tv weather channel. They can withstand just about anything. Hope the pup is great.

Reading my post I should clarify this. You don't really make them good, they just are. You just need to form a relationship with the dog, so the two of you are like a team. You'll never regret it.

Chessies are the only dog I'll Own!!! They are great with kids, and even kids themselves!! Take them with you everywhere you can, work, store,park, lake, everywhere! This teaches them socialization, and not to be concerned about other people all the time. If you don't, I think that they become over protective,and growl and bark at everyone and everything! In regards to training, start like you would with a baby, slow baby steps over and over. Don't ever get discouraged, just keep at it and always praise the dog. Make sure you let them know big time when they do somthing right. Like mentioned above, the most loyal breed around. You'll never find a better, stronger, smarter hunting partner! My Chessie has proved me wrong many times!! Best of luck to you !

Keep us updated on the progress, I have two labs now but have always been very interested in chessies, I'm thinkin the next one might have to be one. I love the fact that they will hunt in any conditons. The stubborn part is the only thing that worries me. I guess patience is the key as with most things.

I also have a Chessi. Many people that I hunt with confuse thier aggressiveness with aggression. They are a highly misuderstood dog and have been forgotten since the popularity of the labrador. They are in my opinion the best dog I have ever hunted with. The question is is it obedience you are looking for? I can truly tell of the people that responded to you that they own and understand Chessies'. They require lots of time and patients. They are incredibly intelligent. The problem is they "think"!! Most labs are given a command and they just "Do". I have had this talk with many dog owners of all breeds. The best all around dog is a lab........ But if your looking for a menber of your family....one whom eats, sleeps, plays, and hunts with you. then get a chessie....I personally will never own another breed. I am not bragging them up!! There are chessie rescue clubs because most people could not handle them (understand them). My best friend is 8 years old...Those eight years have been incredible. I realize this does not help you, but if I had any advice... Love your dog like it was your child and that dog will do anything for you or your family...Good luck!... Be patient...and steel shot wont bother you anymore because all you have to do is wound em with a chessie.

Hi,

Just a short update on our new addition to the family. Our new Chessie is a wonderful partner / friend / family member. He has really taken to everyone in the family. I try to take with me wherever I can and I think this really helps as he is very social. He really seems to have a great nose and a ton of natural insticnt. Very pleaed with him so far and as far as I can see that should not change. I would reallly recommend this breed to others off my short experience but with a few words of caution.

They need room, attention, afffection, and dedication on the owners part. just my 2cents

      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.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
