I’m sitting in a motel bar in Minneapolis wishing I was home working dogs and playing with momma and the boys so I thought I’d post some pics.
This pretty girl was given to me as a yearling with no training and never been out of the kennel. She did great on her birds last year and will be a top mutt this year. She was very easy to train and would love to be a house dog. She’s retained her training perfectly. She won’t let you forget to work her in the evenings. She loves to be loved on and wants to please. She’s out of Blue Dawn kennel and runs as big as you’ll let her, will hold her birds all day, and is a natural retriever. She looks and runs like a pointer with a short tail to me. He can’t believe he gave me this pup. These pics aren’t points, just hollering Whoa. I never think to take pics in the feild.
I bought these two as 7 week old pups. They’re both fine little dogs. The orange one is out of CCBIRDOGMAN’s dog Bleu. And the black one is out of Plum Creek Kennel in South Dakota. The black pointed and retrieved over 350 bird her first season, she keeps getting better. The French Brittany is supposed to be a close running dog but this one will run as big as whatever dog she’s braced with, she doesn’t like other dogs finding bird before her. If you foot hunt her by herself she’ll stay in sight all day. Put her with a big runner and you’ll only see her on point. They’re both great 3 year olds, awesome bird dogs and pets that will go anywhere with me. There’s not enough electricity to make the black back. If a dog finds a covey before her she has to be a half inch in front of the finder. She won’t bust the bird but refuses to back. The orange one is the best singles dog I’ve ever had. If you wanted to kill a whole covey she has the ability to do that.
I was given this knucklehead as a three year old know nothing this summer. I thought he was dumb when I got him but he’s a smart con artist. He is a challenge to train but I’m expecting good things from him this year. The only 2 times my buddy ran him last year he lost him for several hours and he showed up when he heard shooting miles from whee he was lost. He’s broke now and knows what is expected but we’ll see this weekend. He’s doing well on his pigeons and I’m ready to see how he handles hunting. He loves to retrieve. He came from Hi Tailing Kennel. I feed this dog as much as the other three put together but he won’t gain an ounce. He always looks starved.
