Title: One year old bird dog
Post by: Muleycrazy01 on January 14, 2019, 04:14:12 PM: I can’t say enough about this bird dog of mine, I picked him up last February with the intent to hunt him this fall, we trained hard all spring and summer, countless hours, some days I thought I’d pull all my hair out, stubborn ol’ GWP anyhow, but we kept at it, watching him mature into a bird machine and knowing I did the training from the ground up fills me with pride, for me watching him work is just as fun as shooting the birds, can’t wait to see what next season holds for us.

Out there having fun and making memories is what it is all about. Take a ton of pictures in the field and of success, like so many things you never know what will happen in the future to make sure to keep up on it!

I did a year of research before I even dropped the deposit on him, watched a ton of videos red articles from project upland, and luckily my breeder has been a phone call away since the day I picked him up, I was just consistent with training, did it everyday I had off work, never over did it and finished our sessions on a high note, he had 130 live birds in his first 10 months of life and I believe that played a huge roll in his bird drive. He’s still working on his steady to wing and shot but his pointing is flawless, I cannot wait for next season as he matures. Thanks for the kind words

I don’t have any involvement in NAVHDA but have been considering looking into it, I’m up in skagit county I talked to a fella this year at the lake Terrell release site who was involved in the skagit NAVHDA and of corse by the time I got home that day I forgot what his name was and where to find their website
