Here are some pics of Woody, my 4 month cocker,,,,he is turning out to be a real good un...but time will tell

 

Also a pic of Maggie, my lakeland Terrier,she is totally devoted to me but is very gun shy and is quite a nervous girl in general.

 

for some reason that particular pic looks like its been photoshop'd...?

Here's one of my Teal. A real handfull but wouldn't be without her now.

She's a rescue dog and a fantastic pet but I'm hoping to have a pup from her to train from scratch for a bit of beating and retrieving pigeon when I get some permission.

I will be VERY happy with that, not sure if I could handle her and gun first off, but can't wait for some pottering days. :yes: H.

 

 

Takes some doing, does she flatten when onto a really good point?

 

Mine is the spitting image of her and the whole dog points when she has something actually there, having had a seasons beating with her I took her on the cock day at the end of the season and she did very well. The problem is once you switch them on they really take some holding onto the drive to hunt is so strong. Its interesting using one for beating and they can do it very well simply because they stop to game so you don't tend to have running in problems and they hunt very steadily so don't tend to flush lots of birds at the same time. Very interesting dogs though can't wait to get mine out on deer as she is great with foxes with the rifle and if I can use her for deer she really will be a cracker. Signs are good so far and seems to loose the clownishness as soon as the gun is out and knows it means business

Hi, I struggle to see Pog being used in the beating line. She has always been very hot, and with the Labs and Spaniels doing their jobs around her would not allow her to be doing what I have spent months training her to do. I know that while she is steady to a point, if another charged past her to flush it, it would all go belly up.

I beat without her and have a fab time. What she is made for is rough shooting with just one or two guns and 1 other dog really. I get huge pleasure from this without her being wound up by 100's of other dogs charging about. I hope to compete with her shortly so we are sharpening up our skills. She is 2 and a bit now and it is all starting to come together. H.

I love it when they stalk in to get closer to what they are pointing, mine looks a lot like yours on point DH dead straight everything pointing. I also think she is starting to point differently for birds compared to furred quarry, seems like the front leg either goes forwards or back depending which.

Harry, my 14 wk old Springer.

 

My first dog and I'm convinced I'm going to ruin him one way or another. Everyone tells me don't let him do this, don't let him do that.

 

I'm worried I'll overdo it and he'll lose his keeness. I do seem to be telling him off a lot; I think I need to chill out a bit.

 

Day after this picture he fell in the lake and went right under, yanked him out thinking I'd screwed up, but he was fine, ran around very excited and promptly did it again. Nutter.
