HOPPES NO. 9 -- Beagle Issue

[Bojo]

The perfect smell combination…. fall leaves,,Hoppes #9, wet beagle and freshly cooked hasenpfeffer! That beagle ain’t nobody’s fool.View attachment 1548767View attachment 1548885

Nothing like the smell of a wet beagle. Posts like these really make me miss the older days of a united family spending every fall Saturday running ang gunning with beagles and bassets.
Great looking doggie

jimmb, I hear ya on the #9 patches being attractive to hound dogs. My two Bassets are gonzo for them too, so I now always use a 'Muzzle Mate' to catch all the patches. They all fall into the tube, then to the trash can in the garage. No dirty patches, no worries. It also is great for cleaning rifles in the house to partially eliminate the solvent smell from engulfing the entire inside of the house (ok by me, but not agreeable to the wife.)



If it's on the floor, it's fair game for these two:

MuzzleMate Gun Cleaning Patch Trap Polymer Orange

This cleaning trap makes clean-up after gun cleaning easier. The polymer trap slips over the barrel where it is held in place by foam pads. The trap...

Glad pooch is OK. Better he roll in Hoppes than a dead fish or fresh cow pie.

It is always scary when a loved pet gets into something and you don't know if it will poison them or not. I have a GSP that eats anything and everything, so I have a fair amount of practice with getting questionable items out of his belly! In case of poisoning such as pills, grapes and etc., dogs can be given hydrogen peroxide 3-percent solution to make them vomit. This is especially important when time is of the essence, such as for liquid poisons or medical grade pills that may be dropped and your dog inadvertently ingested. Consult your vet before administering the peroxide to determine the correct dosage for your pet by weight. Correct dosages will induce vomiting in 10 - 15 minutes. A follow-up visit to the vet is highly recommended.

I see you listed grapes as poisonous to dogs, I just curious what's the problem with them? Growing up we had trap vines in our yard and our dogs use to jump up and grab bunches of grapes and eat them, they would also get up on the wood piles and eat grapes and loquats of the tree and we never had any issues with them getting sick. Just curios.

I do know that green almonds and green almond hulls are very toxic to dogs. Back in high school I took my buddy Abalone diving his first time, we were at his parents house in the backyard and I was showing him how to clean his first abalone and their little dog was out there. I noticed he was chewing on something but dint thick twice about it. about 5 min. later the dog starts going into convulsions , I found a partially chewed green almond off the neighbors tree and you could see debris on the ground where he had eaten another. we called the vet and before we could even get him to the car he had died.

Happy that the critter is OK.

Preventing this will start with you. Buy the cheapest lunch bags (zip lock) and install at the end of the barrel so the the patches go into that. I do this and it saves time on packing up at the range or at home.

An empty half-liter water bottle will fit snugly over a barrel that measures around 0.800" at the muzzle.

Glad your dog is ok. I have to watch mine like a hawkView attachment 1548735

That's one dead duck!!

Never smelled a wet beagle smelled wet labs in the duck blind. Never got too attached to that smell. Doug

 

[Spoonbill]

That's one dead duck!!

She has to sleep with that duck too. She is the most playful dog I have had since my Boston Terrier I had as a kid

Google it. WebMD (among other sources) says grapes, raisins and currants are toxic to dogs and can cause kidney failure even in small amounts. This includes fresh, dried, cooked, peeled or seedless.

• Symptoms
  Vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, abdominal pain, dehydration, increased thirst and urination, and kidney failure
  
  
• Causes
  The toxic substance in grapes is unknown, but dogs can't metabolize tannins, flavonoids, and monosaccharides from grapes. The amount of tartaric acid in grapes depends on the type, ripeness, and where it was grown.
  
  
• Prevention
  Keep your dog away from grapes, raisins, sultanas, currants, and baked goods, candy, and trail mix that contain dried fruit.
  
  
• • Treatment
    If your dog eats grapes, call poison control or an emergency vet immediately. The toxic dose is unknown, so it's best to err on the side of caution and consult a veterinarian.

Thats interesting, My dogs ate bunches of them everyday during the season and never a problem between 3 dogs. They ate lots of loquats and apricots too. Come to think of it we had an almond tree that dropped almonds in the yard and didn't have a problem but my dogs were beagle/walker hound, Lab and a Brittney. My buddy's dog that died was a little lap dog. I have heard a lot of people say chocolate is toxic to dogs and my dogs ate their fare share with no problems. Thanks for the reply.

You folks that like the smell of #9 as I did must still have the old stuff. I ran out long ago.

When our dog kills a raccoon or an opossum, he has to drag it in to his doghouse...

My beagle would also eat anything and on occasion come home with a baby bunny in her mouth. She never hurt nor ate any living thing. Great dog!

Dogs will eat most anything. Trimmings of horse hooves and cow manure are favorites. My baby was always a begger. She always got a few bites of what I ate. Milk chocolate (not baking chocolate), grapes, ice cream and whipped cream straight out of the nozzle. I rarely saw an overdose of anything except marajuana cookies(clients pets). One thing to protect your pet from- gorilla glue!

 

[RabbitSlayer]

My beagle would eat anything. Ate cactus including the thorns more than once.

My Mom had a pit bull who was just a big baby. Once when I was over he kept begging me for a piece of my banana. I kept telling him he wouldn't like it. Finally broke off a little piece for him. He spat it out, barked at me once, and walked away like I was some kind of jerk..
