Underdog,
Do you already have your brand? If so, I can't see where a couple extra dogs would matter. We will be doing the dogs at my place in LaPorte first thing Saturday morning.

No,sure don't.....How hard would it be for me to get one or have one made? Does anyone going have one or a few different letters? (don't really know if there is a set of letters).. Thanks. |

I only have my custom brand, not a set. I used this outfit, www.freeze-brands.com , he was pretty quick,located in Texas, and likely has letter sets in stock. You might be able to get him to ship you a set in time to be used this weekend. If not, I don't mind helping you do it on another date. |

Appreciate it....may have a custom one built and catch up w/ you next time (unless some one going has a "X") my old ones were always that. I will call him tommorow and see if he can do the one I thought up and how long it will take.
Thanks again.

jdt, Stainless handles hot and cold, the liquid nitrogen tank we used was stainless, but the brand we used are brass. I suspect that the brass will hold the cold temp longer than stainless, but this is only a guess. Here are some pictures from the freeze branding this weekend. Thanks again to Chance and Crystal for coming out and spending their Saturday morning working on our dogs. Crystal clipping the area to be branded. This is probably as much of Crystal as you are going to see on the internet.   Chance applying the brand  The branded are immediately following the removal of the branding iron  Feeling no pain   Headed to the recovery ward  Betcha can't guess which dogs are in recovery  |

that looks great man. i always worry about getting a dog stolen since I have been seeing an increase of dog boxes in town. what was the name of the stuff the vet gave yall to ko the dogs. ill have to see if this guy over here will let it go. Looks like it would definatly be better than fighting with them.

We used Rompun / xylazine on most of the dogs in doses varying from .3cc (note the decimal! 3/10 cc) up to .45 cc. There were two dogs that we chose not to sedate. Then there were the bulldogs, who seem to metabolize the drugs a little different, as they had the most Rompun, yet were the least sedated. We pretty much used four people on each dog, 3 holding, one branding.

I would suggest the meds. However, there is always a risk with sedation. In the case of one of the dogs, she is as much a pet/companion as she is a hunting dog. Rather than risk her loss to sedation, it was decided to brand her without. The other dog is one I purchased that has tested positive for heartworms, and my vet friend advised against sedating a heart worm positive dog. She handled the branding fine, and was dropped off at the vet clinic a couple hours ago to begin her week long stay at the clinic for heart worm treatment. Hopefully she pulls through the treatment fine, and hits the woods running in 8 weeks.
