Title: Newest family member came home today
Post by: Birdguy on December 22, 2013, 10:11:22 PM: Well we got our new pup today and since she is dealing with being an only puppy right now, making a little noise :chuckle:. I thought I would share some pictures with the rest of the lucky people that are still up. Most likely not listening to a beautiful little puppy howl :yike:. Her name is Ruby and is/was great until bedtime. Last picture is of the big guy, Bart who is not sure he is ready to share the/HIS place with this new rodent like creature with sharp claws and teeth :bdid:

We got her from Adams Gundogs out of Castlerock. This is only his third litter. The pups look great and the parents have qualities I was looking for.

Nash is going on 5 months now? He should be getting big. Likely he will grow for another 6 months and then he will start filling out. Keep him slim and you will both be happier, how is he doing for energy? He should have plenty of go :tup:

Ruby is not from Morgans but I talked with Jim at length before going to look at them. The pedigree is great and she should be a lot of what Bart is not (small and a lot less drool when excited :chuckle:) so I should have the best of both dogs next fall.

Post by: ghosthunter on December 23, 2013, 08:52:19 PM: Take a hot water bottle wrap it up good and bury it under the bedding good. If you got something from the breeder with scent use that too. Put in back of box.

She is use to sleeping with warm bodies. It might get through the rough spots.

Post by: dustysags on December 24, 2013, 11:05:09 PM: Yea Nash is five months now and he is a ball of energy, we take him running with my family's dogs and they all have fun just chasing Nash around the hunting grounds for hours. Right now he's still pretty small for his age so maybe I might get lucky with a 60-70 pound male. He is such a athletic dog, his cousin is 2 months older than him and out weighs nash by atleast 20+ pounds but Nash is so quick and agile and the other dogs just gets juked outta control trying to chase him down with her long legs vs Nash's short ones. Been hunting with him 4x a week now and he gets so sad if I go anywhere without him. He is big enough now to retrieve pintails and will carry one all the way back from blind to truck haha. Were having alot of fun with him

Post by: Birdguy on December 26, 2013, 09:26:13 PM: Dusty, I am so glad you are enjoying Nash. He should have no shortage of energy or speed. Bart is pretty fast and athletic as all heck. He can run really well for a dog his size. No he cannot keep up all day with a pointer but for a lab he is great in the upland, I am not a duck hunter so he is missing out on that half of hunting :dunno:.

We are hoping to see Nash's sister Abby (owned by Deerharvester) early next we when we head over to the cabin.
