Getting ready for bird hunting!

[Tallman]

Working with my 17 month old Pudelpointer Henry on steady to flush,he's doing very well!

[FLDBRED-BDC]

Nice! Were you working with quail? Don't forget the State will be releasing pheasants for training soon. 

[Tallman]

We've been working with chuckers and pigeons with remote launchers rock solid points just trying to control steadiness on the flush,seeing improvements,super prey drive on these pups!

[FLDBRED-BDC]

Sounds great! I've owned, trained, or hunted behind most breeds of gun dogs but never a PP. What do you think separates them from the others?

[TroutandBucks]

Best of luck training the dog! hope you get lots of birds with him. 

[Tallman]

All hunting dog breeds have great individuals,but careful breeding by Pudelpointer breeders puts the odds in your favor.the dogs I've worked with have tremendous prey drive and are incredibly smart and know when to turn it off when at home.my pups first year(last year) we shot 150 pheasants and about 50 chuckers over him all pointed all retrieved,no cripples lost! Was he perfect,no he was a puppy learning but boy did I have fun watching his light bulb turn on!

[FLDBRED-BDC]

That's a lot of birds over a young pup, I'd say you're well on your way!! 

[Tallman]

Yeah,went a bit crazy,only bow hunted one afternoon,and no fall fishing,but had a lot of fun!

Grouse in NY starts next week in the southern zone. Can't wait.

[Tallman]

Going to try grouse this October in PA,takes a great dog to handle grouse! Good learning experience for the pup,if I can find any and then hit one! Lol

[Kroil2]

This is Ollie...

 

Bred, trained and finished on ruffed grouse...

 

[Tallman]

Beautiful dog Kroil2 !

[Kroil2]

He's a bonehead sometimes but a bird hunting fool.

 

Steady as a rock.

 

Chick magnet too....and he knows it.

 

Good luck with the pup and take him all the way to STEADY. Wing, shot AND fall. You won't regret the extra time it takes down the road.

Working on it,had bird dogs for many many years ,never broke one to wing and shot,hunt mostly pheasants, wanted them to get there right away,found out this dog will trail and find most cripples. Want to hunt quail this year they fly too low for a dog not steady !
