new dd pup

[Lee Root]

Merlo105,  They are great!  I guess I will let this picture speak for itself.  I was beat, but she was ready to go for more.  This is Addy, Dharma's mom when she was 20 months old.  I shot well that day as I recall.  Lee

lee if you dont mind me asking where in wa are you located!

In my opinion there is a big difference. I like the fact that no one is breeding them for show and they only go to hunting families. I like the fact they are heavily trained and tested before they can be bred instead of some Yahoo that thinks he has a good dog that breeds them to another Yahoo that thinks he has a good dog. A big difference in my opinion. Are the dogs two totally different breeds? No, but there is a big difference. I really like that AKC has nothing to do with the DD. They have screwed some breeds up over the years for sure.
Lee don't forget me on your next training day. I would like to watch. When is the nearest fall breed test?

Well LEE, the pics do show. Looks like a great day...

Here's my little guy he's a gift from a fellow that was injured and can no longer hunt.
He's a hunting machine and a great retriever on land and water.  And the sweetest family dog.

AWS does your dog walk on the tread mill? If so thats freaking awesome!

[AWS]

He will if I hold his collar but this was taken as he was watching the birds out the window.  He keeps himself in such good condition patrolling the yard for birds and squirels. I try and work him out in the field at least once a week.

Dharma's training is in the infant stage.  She was a little hesitant at the water, but finally took a few strokes after I put up the camera. 






She already loves to retrieve.  Just fun bumpers for now.  We are working on come and of course off so she doesn't jump on me.  Hope you don't mind me sharing her progress.

Thats a good looking pup!

I like seeing the progress myself.  I am heading to Montana on friday to pick up my new GWP pup so I'll try and keep you posted on how she does as well.

Lee, Nice dogs!  How big is tank?  I really like DD's and Wirehairs but most I see are to big for my liking.  He seems to be a nice size for chasing those pesky chukar all over the hills

Jake,  Tank is about 65 pounds maybe a little less and is 24 or so inches high at the withers.  He can run all day long and you can trust him to find birds.  Dharma's mother has been known to pin a lot of those pesky masked bandits.......As does Dharma's grandmother Cass.  Lee

Dharma in the house.  She is progressing well.

Dharma in the house.  She is progressing well. 

She is a great looking pup, I cant wait to see what she will look like as an adult

jealousy, that is what I have. I've done a lot of research and I'm torn between a DD and a german longhair, or there german counter parts. Right now I'm leaning towards the DD. I haven't gotten a chance to meet either first hand yet so I'm sure that will be the end of the debate, or possibly just the beginning.

Dharma is growing up!  I got a new camera and played with it and her tonight.
