Hunting Dogs!!! Post your pics & stories!!!

We are fostering a Wirehair Pointing Griffon that needs a new kid-free and pet-free home. He is a five year old neutered male, who has received obedience and hunting training. He is a very active boy and needs a lot of exercise and stimulation. He is friendly with other dogs and people in the dog park but tends to have possessive behaviors towards other dogs when in the home environment. He has strong recall, heel and retrieve skills. He would be a great match for a ULG hunter.

Hey hunter5425 I'd love to know where you get your brittany spaniels from? I'm on the look out for a good upland hunting companion!

I've gotten all but one of my Britts from Leslie Andreas at Kinwashkly Kennels in Maple Creek. She is well known for producing very good dogs but you need to order in advance as her litters are always pre-sold. Here is the website h ttp://www.mycanadawest.com/andreas/
 
after sixteen years of being its owner,today wasnt a good day as i had to have my mate/family pet
put to sleep.
morse the german wired haired pointer came from a grouse shooting gamekeeper in longformacus,scotland.
just over six years ago we flew him to canada,because we gained permanent residence.
he became a local friend to many in our small town.

RIP mate,thanks for the entertainment over the years

He even looks a bit Scottish. Certainly lots of intelligence and character in that face. I know that you'll miss him dearly but I'm sure that you gave him all the best of a gun dog's life, and at 16 years, it was a good one. Of course, i know that he surely gave you all the best of himself during that time. Condolences from Nova Scotia. RIP Morse.

...decided to put an electric motor (Minn Kota C2) on my duck boat this year ...it ran 9.5 miles at top speed as a trial before the battery ran out .5 miles short of our original launch site on the SK river delta yesterday ...talk about a stealth rig! ...VERY nice


...this winter my plans are to build a mud motor (I already have the plans: Mad Mud Motors) to get me to the lake faster and then to use the trolling motor on the lake
 
took my 18month old Springer Lexie out to run after a local trial on the left over pheasants, She did a fantastic job put up 8 birds that day, there were other dogs out much longer then us and walked much further and only had 1 or 2 flushes.

Nice work Lexie!

My little Pearl is not ready yet, but I've been giving her some exposure to rooster that I've been getting hunting with other guys' dogs. She LOVES it.
Here she is sitting steady while I drag out a scentline for her:



Finding it:



And doing her best to retrieve it!



I drag, hide, then let her find freshly killed pheasant in the yard when I get home. Then I slice the skin open in one long cut from gizzard to butt and fillet out the breast and thigh meat. I pull the guts out and stuff a few paper towels up in there. I bunch up a few more paper towels where the breast meat was, and then I stitch it back up with strong thread. I've been freezing these training birds for later use. When they get too gross to use I'll cut the wings off and get even more use out of those by taping them to bumpers.
 
Pearl has proven herself completely unfased by shotgun blasts, so I took her for her first few walks in pheasant cover. She's doing great - not quite 6 months old. She seems to have an innate ability to pick pheasant scent out from everything else and her prey drive is a sight to behold. I shot one over her yesterday (he kinda "lost his head" in the process, hence the placement of the cap!).

And another one this morning!
 
Pearl has been getting fooled by no-good-double-crossing-wild-flushing-far-running late season roosters the last few times out, but not so much for my buddy's wise and tenacious golden retriever Ginger. They don't fool her too easily!

 
Chips back :)

After a 2 month recovery from his stretched ligament I finally got Chip out hunting again. He's not in the shape he was 2 months ago before a forced low exercise regimen but his heart is still in it.
