I’ve been messing with the new pudelpointer puppy some. I like him. Cross Timbers Diesel, I call him “Moon”. Picked him up on Halloween. 11 weeks old today. Precocious little guy and cooperative. This little hellion is gonna be a fun one…

Lots of fun! Been close to 15 years since we’ve had a puppy in the house.

15 weeks old now and coming along nicely. Got him in some wild birds Cricket found a few days ago. I got a good picture of Moon pointing one. This is the same puppy that bit the snot out of me a couple weeks ago. Looks like he is gonna point with a flat tail.

More puppy work on wild birds. The little heathen is putting it together. Chased enough to start to figure out he can’t catch them and starting to try to handle his birds with some caution. Love to see when the influence of the point in a puppy is strong enough to pull the puppy under.

Moon is almost 6 months old now. Obedience is firming up. Recall and whoa are getting solid. In my backyard tonight tuning the whoa command. Solid without the e-collar. I hate a collar wise dog so we do some work without the collar. I learned to train a bird dog before the ecollar was a thing. If the collar craps out, we go old school.
“Whoa”
Working on some stuff with pigeons, again without the collar. I am out front and Moon is intense.
He is still just a big puppy but I like him.

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

I have him headed in the right direction AJ. He is a bit of a wild child but I like him.

Tigger If it isn't white it is not a birddog. KC Lying is lying. Don't bitch about one doing it and condone another. That's called hypocrisy. _________________

Hmm. Maybe. Or maybe we ought to put one of yours on the ground with one of mine in wild bird country. We could talk about who has what after they run at least 1/2 a day and not be talking out of our asses.

Nice pup, not sure how I missed this post. Do you prefer slicks, which I would understand, or is that just the roll of the dice? How long were you on a waiting list?

Thank you Larry. Yes it is not an accident that both of mine are tight coated dogs. To the best of my knowledge it may have been around a year and a half. I was not on an official list but I wanted a pup out of that particular pairing if it occurred.

Still coming along. I like the way this pup is running. Picture is of a point this morning. Pointing from distance with his head up in the wind. I’m kinda liking the flat tail level with the back line. That has not changed since the very first bird he pointed.

Getting big and he's still a good looking dog. Thanks for sharing the picture! I'm digging that flat tail too.

Thanks y’all. I had been shooting some for him and things really clicked once he figured out how to get paid. Fall and wild bird season for the real education to start can’t get here soon enough. I full well expect he will lose his mind the first time I get him in a bunch of wild birds running out from under his points.

Looks like you have a firecracker on your hand too Kindall. I see you are in spring. Maybe one day we will run into each other. I am just a couple hours north of there.

The New one is about a year old now. He is coming along nicely. A few pics of what I have been up to with him. His first season is just getting going but we are off to a good start. He still has a lot to learn about handling running upland birds but is showing some talent and I like him.

Some more first year stuff with Moon. The wild child is gonna fool around and make a dog!
Pointed another limit of woodcock.
Working as a retriever in flooded timber here. Talented puppies are fun.

Wow. I missed this. With a pup that looks like this you’re going to be the only one that notices a flat tail. His points are spot on. My GWP had a flat tail. They don’t find a bird with their tails. Beautiful pup. Great timeline.
