Keep posting some pic of him, love to watch them develop.
Congrats, looks like you have a good one.

I must agree ! Nice looking pup !

Max2

I missed it . Did they show the shorthair at all ? do you think he will be on future episodes ? I think it would be kind of cool if they used a shorthair in the show.

Max2

I will never kennel my dog again .

I think with the right type of marketing & if you could find a way to safely ship small quantity's say 50 quail or less I think you would do good. Like any business (same as bird dogs) you only get out what you put in. I have always had a hard time getting quail in small numbers.(50) I like getting ...

Very True !

Good luck with the pick. Here's a thought and just a thought . I have decided( for me) that the next pup I get I will ask the breeder to pick for me. He/she lives with them. Appearence wise they change anyway. & again good luck !

I think it was maybe a griffon. I will look one up . The spinone I think is a smaller dog. Spinone males go up to 27 inches and 90 - 100lbs, like mine. They also come in White & Orange. There are quite a few Spins in your area so maybe that is what you saw. 154138_167671733271308_100000854471504_31...

A lighter colored pudlepointer does resemble.

Hey & welcome ! Sounds like you have a plan for success ! Only warning . Bird dogs can lead to addictive behavior. Lots of hours spent in the field watching & enjoying him/her work

Max2

Spinone looked close also.

Today while at work 2 ladies walked by with Labradoodles. Though I have heard of this breed I have never seen one before. Very nice dogs actually . Not bad looking, nice temperment .seemed Like a nice breed. Their is a dog (sporting group) I believe bird dog that looks similar . Does anyone have any...

Ted Nugent is still AWESOME and I'm glad that he is the spokesperson that he is!!! I can't believe the sack on some of these guys calling him a poacher :roll: . He is a great American that has done so much for our country, our soldiers, our rights, and our sport (hunting). Only a fool would concide...

Max2

Welcome ! Sounds like you have a good plan going on . Good luck with everything !

Max2

Frontline has always worked well for us. Heard good things about advantix though. Any tic's we have found hooked on were usually up around the head & neck. Under & inside ears. I used to live in tic area & lately tic's are showing up here where we live. I hate tic's ! Since Oct. I have taken 3 they ...

Max2

Love the intensity in his face. He looks like all business !

Max2

Welcome & good luck with the new pup ! I also own a GSP they are a great breed ! I like all the bird dog's but I am partial to the GSP !

Max2

Mine is very intelligent and does well in the house. I will say he is not very playful with children. He seems a little wary with kids now don,t get me wrong he hasn't tried to bite or anything. Over all a great breed. I have three and they are all especially playful and lovable around kids. Charli...

Nice looking pup ! She's a beauty !

Welcome !

Max2

Welcome & keep looking ! There are a lot of good ones out there !

Always keep mentally alert and keep track of where you are..... Make sure your batteries are charged in your GPS! Scott, why would anyone hunt a new area without a GPS? Chasing Chukarsin new hills without a GPS...LOL! PS Really enjoy your show... I was glad someone else uses a GPS ! I was starting ...

Max2

A lot of new puppy's coming soon !

Good luck everyone ! The only thing I will add which was already
mentioned......... Rest up ! !

Max2

Nice !

Last year I had a tuff time finding bobwhite quail . This year was looking the same but I was able to find someone close to me the will have some for me. In other years I have gotten my birds out of (PA) but this year have a contact right here in my own town. Lucked out I guess !

Max2

Today is the last day here in NY you can have your dog in the woods untill i believe August 15th unless your on private property. We always respect the wildlife this time of year by training in a field by our house. We will be ready for Oct.1 !

Max2

Tuffest part of having them is when we loose them.
Sorry for your loss.

Max2

I was commenting b/c I get a negative response a lot from folks about them not wanting to take their dogs to a "shelter" clinic for spay/neuter and would rather go to a "real" vet. Not so much to say it was tons better to go to a shelter - but just to say that they do a lot of them and thus I feel ...

Got a brainstorm the other morning to see if I could find the log this grouse was sitting on & druming . Max & I set out with trail camera in hand found some locations & max liked this log the most. So I set up & checked it the next day to find 11 trips & pic's.

My dog's have always been and will always be in the house. I wouldn't have it any other way . ( IMO ) My last shorthair as well as my current one are & were very good hunters.

Max2

BTW, I'm in New Jersey... That's why ! I used to live in NJ & keep in touch with friends still living there. It's always a lot more for vet care there. I do realize the cost of living is higher there but that sounds a little high to neuter. I have even run into people at my local vets here who have...

Max2

She look like all business !
Nice looking pup !

Max2

being i have a lot of years in woods here in central pa.here is my opinion. staegamelands in my opinion have best habitat and worst hunting in state. truly a worthless day in woods. stateforestland has so much pressure now that seeing grouse is not a everyday event. getting one is lot more of chall...

Max2

I have my own property & access to other private lands but to be perfectly honest we do our best on state (public land) Don't feel like the public land is not as productive as private. I am always checking out new pieces of public land & never feel sorry I did. I feel NY does an excellent job in cre...

Max2

Sniperjohn, Thank's for the offer but I do have birds on order for this year.

Max2

I usually buy day old but the past two yrs have had no luck finding anyone who would ship to me here in upsate NY. Perhaps the economy is hard on the breeders. A guy who raises gamebirds close to where I live has informed me he will have quail for me this year. I have also heard recently about the p...

Ryman gun dog.
Nice set up ! I like the cleaning station idea. Now I have to see where I can put one here.
Great job !

Max2

My first GSP's name was Jax & the way it came about was I was getting the pup like you & had no name. While driving home from work one day a big truck pulled out in front of me. A prettzle delivery truck & in big bold letters said "Rolled Gold" & beneath it said "JAX" . A lot of folks would comment ...

Max2

The only thing I would add is research. Dog's are here for a decent amount of time with a lot of time & money spent to get them where you want them. I myself would never just buy any dog. I would be more inclined to rescue an unknown dog then just buy any dog not knowing where it came from. I am a s...

Max2

Very cool !
We had the same idea here where we live. I had the day off & a beautiful day it was here in upstate NY. We were able to put up one woodcock & four grouse. Yesterday in the morning.

Max2

Nice pic's ! Beautiful pup !

Max2

Welcome GSP people !
Lately a lot of new GSP owners coming on board

Max2

I always like to say welcome to another GSP owner ! Though I do like all the breeds !

Max2

What a cool video !
Thank's for sharing !

Max2

Ultimately I think it comes down to what you are hunting. For me it is woodcock & grouse in the hills of upstate NY. My gun of choice is a 28 gauge. This year we were messing around with Pheasents & I had no problem knocking them down. What will you be primarily hunting ?
