I had a Pointing Lab for 6 years, she was a great dog. I did not train her much other than basic commands. She picked up pheasant hunting naturally and was a joy to hunt with. I had to find another home for her last spring when I sold my house and moved to an apartment while my new house is being built. The new house should be done within two months. When it is done I will get an English Pointer with Elhew lines.
I hunted with a guy who had one of these dogs last year. I was completely amazed watching this dog. The dog is what made the trip. I had more fun watching the dog than actually shooting birds. Based on this experience and what other little bit of research I could do online, I decided this would be my next dog.
The dog will be used for Pheasants and the occasional chuckar if we go to a hunt club. It will be raised around my two kids (girls) who are 3 and 5. I will have a nice concrete pad underneath a deck that is about 10 feet off the gound. This will provide a nice covered area for the dog run. I plan on having the dog sleep in a crate inside at least for the first while.
I plan on training the dog to hunt the best I can. I will look around to find someone local with some quail or pigeons to train with.
I gave a deposit on a pup that appears to come from a reputable kennel and the parents look to have great lines. Here is a link
Blue Grouse Kennels The litter is the Geronimoe/Haley one. I get first pick from the Males. Here is a link to the pictures of the pups that were born last week. Puppies
Any advice on picking the best one, or Pointers and hunting dogs in general will be appreciated.
