I got a bird dog!
« on: November 05, 2014, 01:48:17 PM »
Well a good start anyways  :tung:

getting excited about this pup!

some bird introduction going on and I'm getting solid and intense points like BAM!  not even seeing the bird, all scent.




A pup's first real points do that to me  :tup:

pics or we don't believe you.  ;)

 :chuckle:


In all seriousness, congrats on the bird dog.  I need to get a new bird dog one of these days.  Bird dogs are the best. :tup:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

hehe I knew that was coming  :DOH:

I'm terrible at packing a camera around when I do stuff,  I'll get some pics in a day or two when we head back out - maybe a vid or two also

Sweet. Looking forward to the pics  :tup:.

Our pup that has had a few issues with the bird thing has been real interested lately. My daughter let a couple pigeons out to the breeding loft the other day(no trap in this loft  :bash:), both dogs made several laps around the yard as they made their circles. Tonight the pup got hold of one and when called fetched one right to hand, once we saw she had it. It was really wet (could be rain but most likely drool) but alive and ready to go back in the loft. Looking forward to getting her on some quail next month.

I only have about 5 yb's who aren't breeding yet, they've barely lost their peep.


so I'm doing the string thing or I'd be out of birds quick.

Yea
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

she was locked up pretty good on that pic but took a step, the pigeon was 8-10 feet in front marked by that string so I knew where it was.
