Wife's spaniel was to replace the little dog 3 years ago. That thing just won't quit going. Kumpel pup is to back up der Panz who may only have a few seasons left. We discovered that we generally like our dogs more than we do other folks.

Walking down a road and a strange sniff crossed Kumpel's nose. Little fella froze and couldn't figr why his body wouldn't move. Left him stuck for a bit and dicovered some huns in the ditch. Me thinks he'll be fine.

Awesome blood lines. Good Kumpel!

metlhead · « **Reply #11 on:** September 02, 2024, 12:50:51 PM »

Thank you. He is quite a handful and soon will grow into those legs. He has really taken to 10yo Panzer and is handling great. No ducks for him this year but some late season quail shall be his introduction. Those legs are really gonna open up in Nevada next season

Very cute!!

He has decided that quail are good and he shall carry them all day. He did have to drop the empty Modelo that accompanied him for some time

Awesome

Quite the little helper. Kept up all day. Found and retrieved a few dead birds. Even found some leftover birds from a covey.

Kumpel has really talen off and become not only a great back up to Der Panzer but is getting into his own points as well. Gorgeous last weekend on the eastside and really good numbers of quail. Only one per covey and solid walkup points getting the shot has really got the young fella calmed.

Kleine Kumpel just survived his first bout of salmon poisoning. Rough on the little fella but got it in time. Got it either on the Skook or Chehalis. Be vigilant

What’s salmon poisoning?

Glad he made it. I know others not so lucky. Great looking dog and sounds like he's learning quick. I love my GWP!

Thanks. Sure awful to see the life just drain out of these high energy pups. He'll be on released chuks and gubmnt roosters all summer. Going into October full assault with high expectations. Salmon poisoning is an illness critters can get if they ingest dead fish that are infected with a certain parasite that comes from a snail? Very deadly for domestic dogs if not treated.

Wow. I’ve never heard of that before. Thanks for mentioning it

Little PIA has really filled out. Set in about 2lbs heavier than Der Panz did while in Prime. Just tried on his new swimmin jacket. A few more stitches for the throat area and he'll be hittin it hard. No takers for the upland shoot tomorrow so he's gonna get some geese

Boss .300 winmag · « **Reply #30 on:** September 12, 2025, 06:02:52 PM »

He’s looking good.👍

Ran Kumpel as primary this weekend. Outstanding job but still has a Ston of puppy in him. Retrieves are almost perfect. Topped the weekend off with a tight holding rooster. He eyeballed the shot from the thick and his ultra excitement got him through 30yds of cattails in seconds. Coming back was a bit tough with a phez in his face. That little proud dog paraded circles around me with it so I let him carry til squirrel!
