I can't think of anything I like better than hunting over a pointing dog

Fred, how are they for a family dog?? I am really looking to get a new pup... lab is my standby...but I am exploring other options too...like Springers, Brittanys... Wires... etc...

Cool Man!

Well I tell you what, everyone I talk to about this breed just gushes over them as family dogs, more so than alot of the other breeds I researched.  They don't hunt as far as the DDs and other pointers, not under foot though, but not nearly as far ranging (for me that was another plus).  Really smart and great family pets.  What is funny is I've been to Montana Mule Days and last weekend went to Hell's Canyon Mule Days down in Enterprise, OR and I've seen 5 of these dogs as pets/hunting companions at these two events alone.  Here is a GREAT site to find out more about them and some other versatile dogs.  http://www.versatiledogs.com/forum/

Couple more of Sam, lounging in the house.

He needs to shave.
Just kidding, he is a great looking dog.

Right on Fred, when is your first big upland trip?

[Machias]

Probably mid to late Oct

Very cool looking dogs... do they like water at all?

[Machias]

Love water, they are a true versatile breed, waterfowl, upland and blood trailing.

Getting better and better.
