Gun Dog Forum

I haven't had a dog for several years due to the decline in quail populations locally, but they seem to be on a slight upswing, so considering that I have a son and grandson that like to shoot birds, had to get a pup. Just picked her up yesterday, from Jim Harris in Fort Scott, Ks, nice pedigree, pretty pup, hopefully she will find some birds by this fall. I plan on killing about 100 over her before the opener, so she should be ready, in a pup kinda way!

If there aren't puppy pictures, it didn't happen

There will be some! Just haven't got the good ones yet. Honestly, before work, I was busy moving a bear rug and picking up my Nikes that she was chewing on.

Nothing like having a dog that hunts bear & birds Sounds like she is off to a good start on the bear :roll:

Congratulations. On your new pup.
Send her up to washington and I'll post some pictures for you.
Always good to have a spare pair in the closet just in case.
Been missing a work boot for 3 weeks. He got board and dug it back up few days ago. However not in quite as good of shape after a couple weeks in the snow.

am I overlooking something, or did you mention what kind you got?

That's what I was going to ask. Best wishes to you and the pup anyway.

Obviously, after the picture, she is an English Pointer. It was quite a tough job getting her to hold still for a couple of seconds to get a picture! Her sire is by Honky Tonk Attitude and out of Jim's Guard Rail Spirit/Honky Tonk Attitude bitch. On the bottom side, her dam is a daughter of Erin's Bad River, out of a daughter of Erin's Wild River/Elhew Sinbad. There's a lot of good bird dogs in the pedigree, so she should find some birds this fall. I'll get her started on some pigeons, an shoot about 100 pen raised quail over her before hunting time gets here.

Sounds like she has an excellent pedigree Nice looking pup

Oh you pointer guys! Someone needs to show y'all how to stack a dog

Good looking little pup, and an impressive pedigree. Best wishes for many happy and productive hunts.

Thanks guys, it'll be a lot of fun this summer getting her going. I'll keep everyone posted.

Very nice congratulations and looking forward to those hunting pics

I've been shown how to stack puppies with cheese. They don't get that scared look like without cheese. What about adult dogs? Do you have any good tips on stacking adult pointers??
