So my sister got a dog not too long ago thats half lab, a quarter beagle and a quarter german sheppard. The dog's father which was full bred lab is a good hunter. The puppy will fetch all day and iv been showin him some pheasant wings already he seems like he would take on. Has anyone had a mixed dog that was a good hunter? Im going to try and train him to hunt regardless but i was wondering if anyone has thought's, experience's good or bad ect.

That'd be a Labrador Shepleagle! I saw a guy hunting once who had a German Shepherd. According to him it helped him put birds in the bag. Also hunted with a German Springhair (GSP/Springer cross) once. It was a decent dog and looked really cool. Had the body of a springer, liver and ticked coloring of a GSP and wavy hair with hair length half way between a GSP and a springer.

I say if it can hunt for a reasonable amount of time without tiring out and you can keep it under control and it helps you find and recover birds then I'd give it a try.

I know a friend who has a lab cross, i think he said lab/delmation cross, got it from the pound, and never trainned it and it is one of the best hunting dogs that i ahve seen.

a part lab, can be a great hunting dog! the instinct just has to be in them. a buddy of mine had a half lab that was one of the best dogs i've ever hunted over. she was great for pheasants,ducks and geese. del

I have a lab cross. She has done very well, to me it is not the breed that is important, if it has the will and instinct to hunt, it cant hurt to bring it along hunting with you.

I'd hunt with it. If the dog has fun, it will no doubt be a good hunter. how good may depend on how much you take it out. I've seen a lot of "muts" that hunt well, and had a couple when I was a kid. My current Mutts are a weimaraner/chessapeke, the other 3/4 lab, 1/4 retreiver. Both love to hunt, lab is exceptional, weimeraner is gun shy, loves to hunt and fetch, but always been scared of loud noise.

I'd say work with it and see if you can get it to hunt!

If it doesn't hunt, you should at least end up with a dog that can track and retrieve criminals! grin.gif

Have fun with him...

Good Luck!

      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.
