Let's See Your Dogs!!

Busy day tracking!! Asleep with her head up

 

Haven't been on in a while but good to see all the pups doing good. We started using the e collar with a trainer. He's getting better but he's still a very stubborn hound at the end of the day. We've found that a combination of the collar and treats he can pretty much do long division. Each day we make a little more progress it seems.
He had a similar issue with changing his food and he LOVES merricks grain free limited recipe. The lamb and sweet potato recipe is his favorite. It helped his stomach and his shits a lot.

 

Still waiting for my friend to send me the original.

Last week during training.

 

Very Nice! All my gear is ready to load up at O'dark thirty in the morning. Spending the next 5 days between the North Shore of Lake Superior and Canadian Border hunting ruff grouse with the pup. If he only knew what he has coming he wouldn't be able to sleep. When I packed the guns and changed chokes he did show a very strong interest and watched me the whole time, maybe he knows more than I think.

 

Very jealous.

 

The pack

 

That's my idea of a perfect point! Level from head to tail.

Meadow lark is a bird, isn't it? And I'm a bird dog!

 

Ahh the joys of a 10 months old puppy. Some days he's an angel, some days I want to lock myself in his kennel and cry while he terrorizes the house. Today is the later. Let him outside to play and he won't stop barking (unusual behavior for him), been "fighting" through the fence with the neighbors weiner dog. Really they just bark and harass each other, unfortunately the neighbors let it happen and I'm the one trying to make my dog behave. I wonder rid they even know my dog could eat theirs for a snack? I tried to take him for a walk to chill him out, that helped some. Time to stuff his Kong and call it good.

 

been taking my puppy(black/white) hunting off and on the past couple weeks. Been getting better, nipping ass and staying off the pig. I havent hunted my oldest/first dog for several months. I took him out and can see the old age kicking in more and more. Going deaf, sticking around too much, not answering bark, not even interested in actioning the pig. I guess back to retirement for him.

 

My bird dog! Frankie the German Shorthaired Pointer

 

I love the GSP's. I could have had one when a buddy bred his female. Timing was off. Sure would like to have one someday.

They are awesome dogs! You have to put in a lottttt of time though in training. Their energy is unparalleled but they are very intelligent. Frank is a beast in the field yet acts like a house/lap dog at home. Hope you get to have one someday!

 

Right now I have my hands full with a 20 month old female black Lab. She's had pro training and is going back for more in January.
Meanwhile I'm training her daily. Just ordered a Garmin 550 pro e-collar. She will be an awesome gun dog.
And yes. Lap dog house pet at home.
Best of both worlds.
