My old GSP got in her last hunts on Friday and Saturday of the final weekend. She's gone deaf, seems like she can't see real far either. She didn't range out very far, the Brit took over as the big running dog. But the GSP still found about 1/2 the covies last weekend, her nose is still working. So I picked up a new pointer pup a couple days ago, to replace the retiree. Thought I'd share a couple pics.

There is time, and you must take it, to lay your hand on your dog's head as you walk past him lying on the floor or on his settle, time to talk with him, to remember with him, time to please him, time you can't buy back once he's gone" GBE

That's a beautiful pup. I like all pointing breeds from pointers on down. Bloodlines?

Do you plan to train her yourself? Was that hunt in south Texas?

nice looking pup
That last hunt with our buddies is always hard. We can give them a good life in retirement, but lounging on the couch is not what they live for.
We all need to practice Whoa more.

Do you plan to train her yourself? Was that hunt in south Texas? Yes Bill, the hunt was in South Texas. I will be doing some basic foundation work with the pup, but will take her back to the breeder in August for formal training. I started the training on my Britt a few years ago, then had an issue I didn't know how to fix. So I took her to Ronnie Smith. He got her back in the right direction. This time I'll let the pro do it. I'd like to go at it again, but training pasture land in this part of the country is really hard to come by these days. I've got more free time these days also. Think I'll build a new training table.

Here's a pic from a hunt 3 weeks before last weekend. GSP was still running good. I could tell hearing wasn't that good. I really admire the backing qualities of the Britt.

Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden. Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.
