Hope it goes well as she has only had limited pointing work on launched birds. I'll be posting pics if we get some.

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

Good luck. Where are you taking her?

Good morning gents, last minute, got in at top flight. I felt it was a more controlled environment. We're going to the ranch to hunt quail this weekend.

Dang, let me know next time you go out to top flight. I haven't been this year yet.
I'll take a Black Female every time.

Will do.
So this morning was great. Beautiful day, cool weather couldn't ask for more. Maddie pointed 5/6 pheasant and 2 quail that weren't on the list. She did have issues holding her point, but I really think I attribute it to them not flushing until she went after them. She held for about 5-10 seconds then that damn prey drive kicked in. I wonder if it is because they were placed in these really thick, and I mean thick bushes. Pics en route!

Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.
