Latest Gordon Setter Frequently Asked Questions:
Where do I find sheep kites for my gordon setter? I cannot find them anywhere on google or of course yahoo. I went to a dog show yesterday and couldn't find them there either. Please tell me where I can find them. Thanks! Please do not answer if you don't know, waste of time! It's an anti-static coat that the setters and sometimes cavaliers where to keep their coat flat. wear******** I just did describe what it's used for.
Answer:I have had Gordon Setters for 27 years and have NO idea what a sheep kite is. Could you describe it or tell what it's used for? ADDED: You know, there is NO reason to be rude. I *have* Gordon Setters and have never heard of the damned thing. I thought maybe it was called by another name, and would have tried to help you, but with your sucky attitude, you're on your own sweets.
I have a 6 year old Gordon Setter who, since being severely ill last year has been keeping a lot of dead hair on her coat. She lost nearly all her coat due to medication and treatments whilst she was ill and when it grew back again it came in very very soft like puppy coat. Before she was ill, she was a show standard bitch and was groomed on a regular occasion, however whilst she was ill and when her coat was so delicate after, it became less frequent. In the past I used a Spratts 72 comb to remove dead hair and that did so with no problem. However, it has become very fine now and so the comb has little affect on pulling the dead hair out. I can pluck it by hand but this is extremely time consuming and at the same time runs the risk of pulling healthy coat. What would be the best way to strip out the dead coat as she now looks very scruffy and I want to tidy her back up again. In the past I also used a Mars Coatking for thinning out her coat which was also very effective at taking out dead coat. However since her coat has become so fine, using this leaves her coat too thin and very coarse.

I going 2 get a puppie and it is going be a Puggle or a Gordon Setter. But which 1 is a better dog when they grow up??
Answer:If you're considering getting a puggle, that means you're open to mixed breed dogs. I'd suggesting going to your local shelter and picking a cute, unique animal there. You'll be able to evaluate the personalities of the animals as individuals, and find that personality that most closely fits your needs. Plus you'll be saving a life! And if you insist on a puppy, puppy and kitten season at the shelters is right around the corner! You'll likely find a few puppies to choose from, especially if you live in the southern United States, where they seem to be for prevalent.
My dog is fairly obedient, but will not pee or poo on a leash. This makes road trips hard because I have to find a fenced-in area for his bowels. I tried leaving the leash on him while he drags it around, but he still won't pee when I have him on the leash. I walk him around in my yard on the leash, and then right when I remove it he hits the nearest tree. Help is most appreciated.
Answer:Now that it's warm out this should be easy. Go on a long walk (preferably jog or run if you are able) - plan for about an hour. Give a lot of water before you go, and take it with you. The heat will make him drink every chance he has. He won't be able to hold it too long and will eventually have to pee on leash! Just keep him on leash and active and drinking until he goes! Even better - do this immediately after you come home and he's been inside unable to pee all day. As he pees praise him and reward with treats.
