Pics from today's training........

Post by GSPVIZ » Sun Dec 14, 2008 7:57 pm

It was such a great day here in Jersey (50 deg) that I decided to take the dogs to the training grounds for a little run (no hunting on Sundays).

My 2.5 y.o GSP has never been on birds before. I planned to start him this spring for hunting next season.

We got there and he got the point pretty quick (no pun intended :D ). He started off by flushing every bird that my Viz pointed but soon he realized to hold.

Within about 30 minutes he was locking up on scent about 25 yards out.

All in all we got the dogs on about 20 quail. I am really happy with how he did today and I cant wait to start training him in the spring.

Also it was the first time my wife went to the training grounds with me. She loved to watch the dogs work. On the way home I said "so, do you think that maybe you would want to go hunting with me sometime?". She gave me the smile like she was really interested. I told her I need to get her a nice 20 ga. for Christmas.

Some pics from today.....

Look at that tongue!

Hey Fuess,

Yup we went to the Setter CLub this morning. I guess I got there around 10:30 or 11 and left at noon. Once the drive opens up (before you get to the club house) I was parked right off the road (Green Jeep Cherokee).

You see me?
