New Bird Dog

[Russp17]

So this past year I got my first bird dog since growing up with them! Been a fun experience training and learning. So far we have hunted about 25 days this year. Still going to try to get out another handful in March. All wild birds! He is doing a good job covering country and holding points.

Great looking dog, you haven’t lived until your GSP has pointed a skunk, porcupine and a grizz.

Yes skunks and porcupines are inconvenient, actually amazing how small a clump of alders a grizz can hide in. Yes best avoided.

I had a young Lab who in one "morning" did the trifecta of a skunk, porcupine and rattlesnake. Snake did not bite her but she was standing over it with all four legs. I tossed her stinking butt about 15 feet to save her.

Beautiful pics! My last lab thought investigating a timber rattler was a good idea. Luckily I caught him before he got bit.

I just bought my first pointer pup in October. She is 6 months old. This is her encountering the chickens at the In-Laws house.

Awesome pics. So jealous! I love when my pup points at my chickens.

Just wondering if he's a Deutsch Kurzhaar (DK). Where is he out of - good looking dog

German shorthair. He is out of NoMars Kennel in Idaho.

Congrats on a great pup - a lot of german import lines in those dogs. He looks like a stud
