First In...Let's See the Birddogs! (Page 4 of 4)
| unfortunately Streaker got killed when our truck got hit by an 80 pound IED on November 15 2011. myself and the 3 army guys in the truck were all ok and walked away, flown out with concussions but that's all. Streaker was laying on the floor, he was hit with the blast which threw him around causing internal trauma and knocking him out which caused his death. |
I did love my job, working hard is what K9s do…. I was born for it, I lived for it, and died for it; for my country….but mostly for you.

here's my pups. maddy is in the Pink collar and Laker is in the Orange and again in the Blue. Not hunting phots but I am training them both for birds this fall.
we have been competing in the dog sport of Dock Diving. maddy, 5, was one of the best in the country 2 years ago. She has been on ABC, NBC, Espn and ESPN2. you may have seen her on the Purina incredible Dog Challange. She didn't place very well there but she made it there. Her best is 27'4" to the tail/butt Laker is just under 22' She has been really sharp on picking up the bird skills so this fall should be fun. 
Laker is competing in fetch in the photo-he has to bring the bumper down from the clips His best is 18' Maddy's is 22'

Adopted a USMC IDD 2 weeks ago, IDD Books M185 who was retired. old but doesn't look it, 7.5yrs old and still bounces off the walls
on the family farm where he lives now chasing bumpers and running around as much as he likes. i need to find some people to go hunting with to see if he still has it in him.

This little guy is 8 weeks old today. Say hello to Buster
Here he is with his first meeting with our cat. He went full on point and held still for a good 10 seconds before the cat bolted. It was hilarious. 
Any good books or sites for help training? I hope to make a good family pet that will hunt. |
Here is my Pudelpointer; Captain. Will be 2 this November. We are working through some pretty serious gunshyness, and he hates the duck calls, but he's starting to make the connection. For his first hunt, I couldn't be happier!

I hope to make a good family pet that will hunt. GWP? Looks very similar to my Maddie who is now 17 months old. She is in her second bird season. Last year at 4 months old she hadn't had any hunting specific training other than I made sure she wasn't gun shy She was good at recall and would honor other dogs points and rarely bumped a bird. She got to run loose with the adults the entire season. Towards the end of the season she kind of had things figured out, pointed reasonably well and would retrieve. The main goal was to get her birdy, and damn is she ever birdy! In the off season I got her steady on whoa, worked on quartering, and "dead bird". This year thus far she has been doing very well, a few rough edges but nothing we can't fix. The main issue is she really doesn't want to be steady to wing so we are working on that. She'll be a pro next year. I'm a big fan of the Delmar Smith method of training. Schedules and locations have never lined up for one of the seminars, but there are books: http://www.amazon.com/Best-Way-Train-Your-Gun/dp/0679507507 Here she is a few weeks ago practicing whoa in the front yard.

She was found by a lady that put her pic on a local lost and found in Tyler. We were in-between fosters for the local SPCA and went and got her from the lady. We think she was someone's hunting dog that went after something and never stopped. As a house/companion dog she does great, well mannered and intelligent. But she's an older gal about 10 yrs old or more and loves her dog bed or the sofa more than anything. She can still get quite "Birdy" when out on walks. Her energy level is quite higher than her ability level. She has arthritis in her hips and ankles to the point of pain meds when the weather changes drastically. She loves our other dogs and really liked it when we would foster puppies. She's not afraid to teach manners to younger dogs either. If you want one as a companion, I recommend a large, well fenced yard, chain link was no match for ours when we got her. And plenty of exercise. SWESR just took in a male about a month ago that was found about 10 miles north of where we're at now. We would definitely have another Setter if the opportunity presents itself. |

My Husky mix. She is still rough around the edges but has a natural hunting drive. I can not believe the nose she has and what she can sniff out. She has no problem crawling under the low thick brush and pulling out downed game. I mostly take her out after coyote and rabbits but birds are also in the mix.

Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Shadow, boomer, and willow. I’ve never seen a better grouse dog than shadow (medium sized settter). He’s out hunted anyone’s dog I’ve hunted with but has zero manners  He doesn’t miss much but when he does…he refuses to honor other points…can’t have it all I guess. Boomer is my big boy. Nothing to write home about. He’s not my speed, but he’s a steady dog. I’ll probably have him neutered if he doesn’t improve in a season. He’d make a very good hunting preserve dog. Willow is my pup. She’s a distant cousin of shadow. If she’s anything like shadow I’ll have a litter with them. |

 Scout has been home for a couple of weeks. Here he is getting a lesson in how to watch squirrels form inside the house...but I don't think he is tall enough to see the ground outside yet

When you're dead, you don't know you're dead. Hence, dealing with this fact is not difficult. It is only hard for those still living around you.....It's the same when you're stupid.
