Thank you GWCCO for a great field trial. Pretty good weather too. W***y pulled a blue in OP and Preslee and Shortcake got to experience their first FT together. See you in the Fall!

Working on fly away with a young pup and a young helper. Currently focusing on the correct direction to throw the bird! Luckily this pup has a pretty good understanding of what I’m asking her to do.

The guys in Idaho are hammering the snows. We haven’t had any here at all so I guess they are all flying a little east.

Here’s a good opportunity for some bird work if you’re in the area on the 16th.

For me, as a breeder, pictures like this make all the hard work worthwhile.
Nothing better than a young hunter enjoying life with their hunting buddy!

I’m often asked if Pudelpointers like to retrieve. This one couldn’t be happier!

Pudelpointers love late season goose hunting!

First time down for Preslee, the pony and the pup. They all did great.

Got the pups out for one last hunt. Both are doing a great job at 8 months old.

Here's a great recipe for you upland bird hunters. Enjoy and Happy New Year! ;)

Whether using game bird bone-in pieces, breasts, or legs and thighs, this recipe is versatile enough for any cuts. Stove-top, pressure cooker, or a slow cooker can be used to cook the birds with equally delicious outcomes.

Hope the year ends strong, wherever you and your pup are...

Hoping you and your gun dogs had a great Christmas and that you're getting some bird hunting in before year's end. We recently got after the chukars on an unseasonably nice day...

Don't overlook these gems of the sky! Crows are vocal, respond well to calls, are easy for dogs to mark and they love retrieving them!

If you have a pup that wants to creep on a point for chukar or quail, hold it by the collar and let a buddy move in for the flush and shot. Hold the pup so it doesn’t break, then reward it by letting it retrieve a bird while under control. Older dogs know better, so I handle them differently.

With winter comes loads of bird hunting opportunities for you and your versatile gun dog. For many of us our season started in September, with grouse, quail, doves and pigeons. For others, it began with early season waterfowl or high in the mountains for chukar. And don’t overlook those joyous roo...

When on a hunt it can be hard to set down the gun and correct your dog. But remember, a quick fix while on the hunt can make a huge difference in how your dog performs and will set the tone for the rest of the season.

Not the typical chukar pic but still interesting. Didn’t find birds today but I did find a snare. Never had a dog get caught in a snare but I carry cable cutters just in case!

Lots of water out there. Here’s one of our pudelpointers getting it done!
