He is finally here!

[Birdguy]

Brewzer I am sure he would be up for going but it would have one of your grouse sized ones ones for him to retrieve it. If I get as lucky as I did last year there is no way he could even come close to draggin one of those monsters out to the woods . I am ready to go though, I need a few days in the woods.

Beatiful color I'm in total ahh :]

Perhaps this fall we can have a dog meet as well a member meet. If we can find a place I can bring some birds for fun!

   I've got the first of this years crop of pheasant in the brood house now, and chukar in the incubator. 

[Birdguy]

Old Dog, I been pulling chicks from the incubator this week as well. The pheasants are laying good, but the huns and the quail not so much. My mountains are actually laying the best of my quail right now. Good luck with you hatches. How many chukar did you end up with? Perhaps I will get some eggs from you?

[Old Dog]

Chukar eggs?  How many do you need? I'm getting about a dozen and a half a day right now, and my incubators are full.

Updated picture of the little fella, another year or so of puppy attitude then we get serious . Hope to get him his first wild birds this week. Wish us luck .

That pups looking good.........

[DOUBLELUNG]

Gorgeous!  Not to thread jack, but in the color discussion ... I am guessing the white ones fall under yellow?

[snakerivercharlie]

That is the most amazing lab I have ever seen.  That is a very intense color for a dog.  I wanna know where you got him too

[highclimber]

Cool

[Birdguy]

Yes, the red is a color variation of the yellow (darkest yellow you will likely see). I got him out of Iowa, there is a great breeder in Chewelah (just south of Colville) that has a few. Look up "morgansredpointinglabs.com". Jim has some awesome females that hopefully I can breed mine with in another year or so.
He got his first real point yesterday , I thought it looked pretty good but I am biased. I would love to have a picture to post but the camera did not work in 12 degree weather .
Thanks for the comments guys, it is always cool to hear other folks like what you got to share.

he's a brute.... 

[Birdguy]

He was sure fun to watch blasting through the brush and weeds to last two days. He would BLOW through anything jumping up and down hill, while my gsp just slid through underneath it all, you could not tell she was even there sometimes. They make a pretty good pair. I just need him to get up more roosters , have to work on that I guess.

[TEX-X]

i took my newer GSP grouse hunting last weekend and we got in some pretty thick stuff....  everyonce in a while you would see his head pop up over the brush.... it was pretty funny...  I've actually seen a dog of his color and build before... you get the color and the wider frame from crossing a chocolate lab and a sorrel quarter horse    good luck getting him on the birds!  keep us updated

That is funny  . He will come around I am sure. It is late in the season and while we saw some roosters NONE were near close enough to shoot  . I am thinking he will be just great for some new dumber ones early next fall. He will get his fair share of work over the next 9 months then, lookout.
