Rabbits, Crows and Pigeons mainly, but also Foxes, Stoats and the like are also vermin on Grouse, Partridge and Pheasant land.

Agree, very nice looking dogs

Dave C

We were around Lincolnshire. That was many years ago though. I was a basically a kid then and really not interested in what the world had to offer and seeing history. I was more interested in getting home to shoot ducks back then! I still just want to get home and shoot ducks :lol: I am alot furthe...

Dave C

Very nice Dave, thanks for sharing the photos. Did you get a litter out of Fern or have you decided to wait? She looks great. Yeh Coop, she had 11 pups back in July, was very pleased with them and they all were sold by the time they were 4 weeks, most going to working homes :D I put some pics up, y...

Dave C

I really enjoy the photos of your hunts. Please keeping post them and lots of them too! I have to ask, what is "boxing day". Also, are those released birds or is there a wild population of pheasants? And what are the smaller birds in the pic? When you say duck flight are you decoying the pond then?...

Dave C

Had 3 good days Hunting over Christmas and New Year. The 26th i have already posted in my Boxing day thread. The 27th was a good day hunting round 2 farms i have permission on, with my 2 lads and their new shotGun Christmas present. It was their first time shooting so i didn't expect much, it was ma...

Dave C

Thanks Meller, she is just a stupid bouncy pup one minute but when she goes into hunt mode she is very serious and listens to comands very well

A few pics of my Wire Haired Vizsla bitch pup, now 6 months

Dave C

Well Boxing day was definitely my most enjoyable day this season so far. Not only did i get out of visiting the in-laws :D but my bitch Fern impressed me no end. She hunted very hard in the morning through both woods and reed beds http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/Cragwood009.jpg ht...

Dave C

Nice pics and the dogs are looking good mate

Dave C

Sounds like you had a cracking few days coop.
Dez is looking good mate he is a fine looking animal.

Dave.

Dave C

Thanks guys, we do like a mixed bag.

Bring on Saturday

Dave C

A nice day for a hunt but the lack of wind ment that some of the birds flew very low so were left for another day. http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/Teesbank037.jpg http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/Teesbank040.jpg We flushed about 7 Roe out the woods, here is one c...

Dave C

Thanks pal, Since Fern had her pups i think she is fitter and keener than ever. I am working her 3 times a week at the minute and we are both loving it, i have just started training a Wirehaired Vizsla pup but it will be next season before she sees any real action. Saturday night it was Roast duck i...

Dave C

I bet mate, they have a nice style to them already

Dave C

You can just see the duck hides we made in the top 2 pics

Dave C

Was out early Saturday with 2 of my pals and my Lab bitch Fern. Here are a few pics. http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/beau2003.jpg http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/beau2005.jpg Getting the gear back into my Truck http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/...

Dave C

Thanks guys, he shows me up as well

Dave C

Very smart looking litter pal.

Good luck with them.

Dave C

Excellent pics and sounds like a great start to the season

Dave C

Thanks guys, the Terrier is a little Parsons Jack Russell coop.
There was 4 Snipe and a Woodcock shot, along with Pheasants, Duck, Partridge and Hares.
I love a mixed bag.

Dave.

Dave C

My Pheasant season started Saturday gone with a walked up Hunt with my pals in our syndicate. We rent 3,500 acres from a large shooting estate. Woke up to a covering of snow and a Truck with a flat battery :cry: And i needed to be there early to finish a few last minute jobs off :oops: We have put a...

Dave C

Last weekend we decided to give the dogs a full days work to get them ready for the season ahead. We started by filling the feed hoppers in the woods to keep the Pheasants from wandering before next weekends start. The team.

Dave C

Thanks ray, whats the GSP mixed with?

Dave C

My Wirehaired Vizsla bitch pup is 4 months now and i am starting to like her style. http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/xx046.jpg http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/xx007.jpg http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/xx133.jpg Her coat is just starting to brea...

Dave C

Well done Rob on passing down your sport, sounds like you have done it the write way.
And well done to the lad for keeping his interest.

Dave.

Dave C

Here in the UK the season starts 1st October, but we leave them until the end of October so the young are better flyers. Our first hunt is on the 27th October and can not wait :D Been shooting Ducks for the last month which i love doing, but you cant beat the dog work on the Pheasants. Have a good s...

Dave C

Sounds like a good trip coop.
How many trips like this will you get in 1 season?

ps, what i would give for hot and dry

been flooded out all summer in the UK.

Dave C

I agree, she is a smart looking bitch, but the tail is too short, wont stop her being a top worker though.

The mother of the Wire Viz pup i have just got has a very short tail, just spoils the style of them a little.

How old is the pup?
How is shew doing with her training?

Dave C

Sorry to disappoint some of you folks but the vizsla's tail lowers to about back level when she points. A " 12 0'clock" high type of tail on point is considered to be very unstylish in Britain and , I think, on the continent too. She is one of the most athletic dogs I have ever encountered. She isn...

Dave C

This is her dad Zack, used for hunting Fur & Feather, also a good stalking dog.

Dave C

Still looking good.
Well done on keeping her fit and healthy enough for work

Dave C

I am sure he will be.
You cant beat a good springer for hunting up game

Dave C

Look good strong dogs, a credit to you

Dave C

Thanks Rick, you are right she will get plenty of chances on the rabbits as well as other vermin. But its Pheasants and Ducks she will be mainly use on. Some of her litter mates had there wirehair coming through but not very long. She is getting a very slight break in her coat now but not much. I wo...

Dave C

Nice pup! But I though they liked level tails over there? Your gonna start a fad! :D I hope so :D Thanks for the replys. She is all ears and attitude at the moment :D which i do like. She also has a real tight coat for a wirehair so i am interested in how she ends up. Cant wait to get started with ...

Dave C

I have been interested in this breed for a while now and found myself a litter from a good working strain. This is Beau (pronounced Bow) http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/Beaupup073.jpg http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/crisp1584/Beaupup099.jpg http://i481.photobucket.com/alb...

Dave C

Incase anyone is wondering, HWV = Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla & HPR = Hunt, Point, Retreive which is a UK term for a sub group of Gundogs, (Sorry). Hi Bill, thanks for the info pal. Yes 1 of the pups in the litter is going to a guy from Scotland, ask him if his pup is about 11 weeks old and from is ...

Dave C

I guess not many on here hunt them.

Well i have gone and done it anyway, picking up my new Wirehaired Vizsla later this week.
Will put up some pics when she settles in.
