Let's See Your Dogs!!

Just going through some files and came across one of my favorite pics of Sadie. This was a couple years ago when we were doing the Show stuff. Didn't last long. It's a pain in the ass. She won her breed this day. She was two years old then. 4 now. Hunting is our only past time now. Which was the plan all along.

 

And this is her recently during training. Wish she would point like this all the time. This is a rare, classic, point. Most of the time she's shaking with anticipation, and her tail is quivering at high speed, and I swear she's going to jump out of her skin if the bird doesn't fly soon.

 

So sorry for your loss. RIP Tinky

 

Like that pix. I always liked that level front to back point. Its old school. Don't care for the cranked head and 12 o'clock tail.
Hope to see her in person in January.

 

Our little boy Lincoln. 11 weeks old tomorrow.

 

Here are our two furry family members (sisters that were separated at birth, now reunited after 13 years apart):

 

There is nothing like watching a dog like this work a field.

 

I wish you pointer gentleman well! With the dogs you all have I do agree a solid line is the ultimate in a pointing dog. With the exception of an English Setter. The flag is the reason for owning a pointer IMO however with the Setter retrievers leaves a lot to be desired. But the flag is not to be denied. Just saying...


Tried a Lew couple of years ago and range was an issue

The level point just didn't cut it with me. Wet tail he never met a puddle he didn't like, and the tail is everything with a pointer IMO.

Hopefully leave Wednesday for SD and phez and waterfowl. Happy with the flusher but keep looking at the beautiful pointing dogs too...

And pleased with the flushing ability of the pup so far

 

Absolutely correct on the setters!

Good luck in SD. I might get up there later this year.

Still too hot for me and the mutts.

 

Where are you headed. we are going to the Winner area.

 

Never been. Got a bud who knows the Miller area. If I don't go with him, I'll work off of his recommendations.
West Kansas and NW Missouri keep me pretty busy.

We hunt out of Eureka up on the ND border. We cover quite a bit of ground. Hit the lottery and got drawn for waterfowl this year. So ducks in the morning and phez after 10. Makes for a long day though. Friend lives in Spearfish and has been to the house in Eureka hunting several times. Numbers are down, way down. Heard the NE is pretty poor too, not sure about down where your at. We normally have access to a lot of sections that are privately owned but the landowner stepped in a damn badger hole and damaged his leg and took surgery to repair it. So will be a tough a year. The ducks are starting to move South so that is good. Just got back from Fleet Farm to get materials to build a Tolling blind. My dog will be my decoy for the ducks but they only fall for that trick once. Typing this just remembered to add bumpers to the packing list for tolling, thanks LOL.

This was at the National Specialty a year ago when he was one. He will turn himself inside out going after bumpers. Will know how he does on ducks in a few days.


Training and test blinds are black, I just picked up camo burlap for hunting.

Here is my shiloh shepherd Simon.

14 weeks old, like this the whole way to his puppy class.

Oct 16, 2016, 8 months old and 85lbs. He'll get to be about 110-120lbs when he's full grown. Hoping to train him as a therapy dog.

 

Swimming at the neighbors!

 

We lost our girl a little over a month ago. Our Akita her name was Aspen she passed away. We are going next week to rescue an Akita to be with are male. He is lost since she is gone. We had her since she was 10 weeks old. Same as our male.

 

My wife and I decided to rescue one instead of getting a pup. There are a lot of dogs that need rescuing.

 

Growing like a weed!!
