Re: Shed hunting with gsp

I guess I'm not to worried about my dog actually finding the sheds but being broke and steady on birds, while we are shed hunting , and letting them run the woods or farmyard and keeping them broke, because attention is not 100% on them, maybe I'm thinking into it too much,

Re: Post dogs on Point!!!!

Few pics of my dog, little over 1 year, he has a noticeable trait that when he is locked on his bird his hairs on his tail get puffed out, I think it's awesome and intense to see but never really seen many like it. Fun little pup for sure.
