  3. Pit Bulls

    in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion

    Posted

    As a veterinarian, I am glad Ontario put restrictions on Pit Bulls. The problem is the breed is poorly defined. Crossbreeds, Staffordshire crosses etc. Mastif type dogs are related. Of course owners that are kind and firm will have better outcomes with their Bullies. Training and leadership are necessary for all breeds but especially the potentially aggressive breeds. Most human and inter dog attacks are by intact males. Not long ago most dogs were bred for a job. Herding, guarding, fighting,  hunting etc. In the last century dogs became pets and became part of the family. The traits originally selected for are still within the breeds. Without training and discipline these traits can come to the fore.  Bullies and mastifs have powerful bites and tend to hold on, resulting in terrible damage to the victim. When several dogs are together, especially if not neutered, their aggression is increased.  Leaving kids, especially small ones, unattended with any dog involves risk. That risk is much highly with Pitt Bulls and several other breeds. Especially if not neutered. 
    My 2 cents.

    They made quality boats...right up there with Lund, however now that BRP bought them they seem to be taking a different direction.  A good thing or a bad thing...I guess time will tell..

    Interesting concept. But I see it’s really a 2 stroke ETec injected Rotax engine. Wouldn’t touch it for years till it’s proven.

    It’s almost like people have given up on pigeon lake…just an observation but I see so few people fishing it for musky compared to a few years back…I’m not sure why the tri lakes are loaded with skis! I seem to hook or catch one every trip there bass fishing these days!

    Still lots of guys fishing musky on north Pigeon. I usually catch 4~5 per season ripping bucktails for eyes. Only one so far this year. 

  10. Looking to buy some live lobster

    Lobsters are tricky. Can’t tell how meaty they are. Went to lobster supper in Cavendish PEI last September. A good looking 1.5 lb one came to the table. The claws were only 1/2 full of meat. Rest was water.   I complained and was told that’s a typical fall lobster. Not sure if that’s true. He said they grow into their shells. But They often sit in pounds and lose weight.   Best ones I’ve ever had were in June in PEI.

    My bad. It’s original traders energy, they blend and distribute fuel. I don’t know the specifics of how the fuel industry works personally, but I know their supplier is native owned and operated. I wouldn’t know who actually refines the fuel

    Just called. The third station, Quarter Mile, said they never ran out of ethanol free premium. And that they sell brand name-Esso and Shell. Terry’s  and Gen 7 were out on the weekend but got delivery today. They apparently get the fuel from Native supplier.

    Do you mean Curve Lake Gas, which is a gas station on the water (with one road pump) or gas at Curve Lake, as in the Curve Lake Reserve area with the 3 roadside gas stations? 

    The 3 large stations 

  16. Best Jetski

    Got a daughter and fam with 2 kids looking to buy a larger Jetski used,  end of season.  Looks like there are 2 brands. SeaDoo and Yamaha. 
    Are there pros and cons? I’m guessing Yamaha would be the most reliable. 
    What’s the word on the best brand, gentlemen?

    Yes…I can’t think of the supplier off of the top of my head but they operate their own refinery now and supply fuel under one brand to all of the reserve gas stations across the province. 

    I’m thinking a refinery is a $100 million plus operation. Having a hard time imagining natives own one.
