Anyone else been doing anything fun with the pups?

[quail hound]

Nice pics! That pup is only 10 weeks old? He looks huge!:eek: I've been getting my 2 pups out with mom and pops to learn where to find the quail but the birds are paired up already so these runs will stop soon even though its in a no hunting area. I don't want to bother my training birds.:thumbsup:

[jeffstally]

I just picked up some homers last week to start some training. Been working the dogs a little in my spare time.

[SetterNut]

I have been running the dogs a little, got them into a pheasant on Sunday.
Been doing some heel, and whoa on our walks.
John gave me some pigeons and in a month or so I should be able to train with them and have them home for me.

Oh, I have also been picking off ticks for fun as well :mad:

It's camara angle that makes her look so large.
She is close to 20 pounds. I was worried about size I was thinking the female would stay smaller but Chessies don't seem to come in Small only L or XL.

That's a fine looking dog Jeff. When he points do the springers look at him like "wtf is he doing?":D

I like the one one in the middle he looks like the type of dog that would like to lay on a porch with you while you drank beer.

Sure blame the camera angle I say she looks like an XXL... which is not a bad thing especially when she is retrieving geese.....she is a good looking pup Goldeneye congrats.

Yep, that sounds about right.:cheers: That's my Lb (Little Boy), he was the runt of the litter, now about 11 months later at 52lbs he has 10lbs on dad and about 15+ on his "big brother".:eek:

[SetterNut]

Some really nice looking dogs.

I need to get my two setters out for a little work.
Bird season will be here before we know it, and I want thier manners to be first rate this season.

[jeffstally]

Nice looking dog, OP. Where is she from?

[Gatzby]

I have been having a blast with my pup. He turned 1 a few days ago and he is going to be underwhelmed running juniors. If things go right I may even get a senior title (and maybe a master pass???) before he turns 2......... If we are to crash and burn we might as well do it at full throttle.

Gotta like that :thumbsup:

Better yet Jeff ask him what he paid for that pup. It's sad so sad that I don't have another kennel

[onpoint]

Nice looking dog, OP. Where is she from?

I answered a ad about 1 English setter female and 1 Gordon Setter female for sale. The English setter is 11/2 years old and the Gordon is 21/2" both were full blood with papers. I went to look at them. We took them out of the kennel's and the English roared across the yard and put the binders on in full locked point on a pen of chickens. They were both told to stay after opening their kennel gates and they both sat eager to go but stayed until he released them. The English was a little thin and he said he was having trouble keeping weight on her but then told me he only feeding 1 cup in the morning and 1 cup at night. My concern also was that both dogs were kept outside all winter in uninsulated plastic barrels with the end cut out for a door. IMO, these kind of dogs are not outside dogs in the far north where it can get -30 -40 below zero at times. -20 is common place.

He was a great guy but I believe he just didn't have the time for the dogs. He had a new GSP male pup he was planning to try and train. He told me he paid $700 for the Gordon as a pup and $400 for the English. The English was also pick of the litter, we talked with the breeder. The Breeder asked if we would sell her back to them. Not a chance. He was asking $100 a piece for them with the papers. I took them both. The English came with papers registering through the Stud Book. I will also be registering her through AKC. The Gordon had it's AKC puppy application. He obviously had done nothing with the paper work. I have things in the works to get their papers straitened out. They have both been retrieving dead quail and chukars. Just started them on gun fire with a 22 handgun and rifle. Really working on socialization with other dogs and people. So far, they are doing outstanding.

Good for you, OP.

I can't believe that they stayed out in uninsulated houses. At least it wasn't a horrible winter.

Sad fact is, he plans to keep the GSP out in the same kennel in the winter. The guy IMO isn't deliberately neglecting the dogs, I just don't think he realizes that these breeds can't take that kind of weather.

Flirt threw a really nice point yesterday and I happened to have the camera along for a change.

Hats off to you OP! Something about dogs that come from conditions like that. They seem to get a new life with the increase in attention. It seems like they appreciate it a whole bunch and they double their efforts to try and please. Good luck with those two. Doesn't sound like you need it though.

[jeffstally]

I had my red on some pigeons yesterday. He broke at the flush here but has been holding fairly well the previous 5-6 sessions.

Nice dog work. You should think about running him in some NSTRA trials. Looks like he could hold his own.

Yup, that dog looks like it's really giving you a hard time. :rolleyes:

Looks like a fun pup -- and a handful, I'll bet. :coolpics:

I feel for ya
It's tough getting up at 4:15am spraying on a healthy dose of bug spray and still sweating it off training. Than to make things worse you get to go shower and go to work...... But what can you do. The city parks guy in my town gave me the key code so I can turn on the ball field lights, really helps if it overcast.

I took advantage of the first cool morning in a long time and ran my red dog Ernie on a local Wildlife Management Area. He was on the ground for about 25 minutes and put on a little over 5 miles.

He went on point about 200 yards out and I started quickly walking up to him. The next thing I see is a sandhill crane coming after him. The crane must have bit him because he let out a pretty good yelp. I tried to get the camera on the situation but was not fast enough. Here are a couple crappy pics:

What do your dogs average for speed on the Astro? He runs hard at first and then slows into a decent pace after 10 minutes or so.
