Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Hunting Dogs

[kenny61]

Just Curious. How many of the members have hunting dogs and what breeds?

My German Shorthair passed on in December. In May I went to Germany and picked up a DK the (German version of the GSP)

Sorry to hear about your Shorthair passing.



Here are mine Buck & Tye:

Got a 4 month old Golden Retriever (in training)

My ESS (Springer Spaniel) passed a while back, at 14. Now torn between another one, or something a little different, called a Small Muensterlander. I'll always have a hunting dog of some sort.

Chesapeake Bay Retriever

 

[MAleshire]

Twenty month old Yellow Lab (Daisy May). She's a good water retriever and a loyal friend. More loyal than most people.

 

[JCyrbok]

9 year old female Weimaraner. Pretty much retired from hunting now (mainly lack of time to keep training her right) but she is a heck of a family dog now (has always been). Loves and protects my two young daughters and wife just about as fierce as I do.



I'll post a pic of her later.

Jelly Bean, my American Bulldog:

Bred for a different kind of hunting, though - catchwork instead of retrieving/pointing.

Yeah I should have made the subject Members dogs. My interests are more on hunting dogs but a dogs a dog and I like them all (except little lap dogs)

My dad and I enjoy coonhunting together, messing with the dogs and hunting with other guys.



We raise Treeing Walkers.

Never heard of them. Googled it, nice looking dogs

Here's my dog, she's not much of a hunter unless you mean the way she scrounges food! I always wanted to turn her into a rabbit dog because she loves to chase rabbits but my friends beagles were just too nasty with other dogs to take her along for training.

Come on, catchwork = hunting/catching live hogs, so that counts as hunting, too.

Here's my boy Alex! Turned 8 in July, still thinks he's a pup!!:-laf

 

[kenny61]

Good luck, mine was 14 when he passed. Thought he was a pup up to the day before he died.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Sometimes I think it is harder to lose a long time canine hunting comapnaion than a person in one's life. I had to put down my 13 year old yellow lab a few years ago and all I can say is the grieving never ends but bringing a new pup home sure eases the pain. My new pointing labrador retriever just turned one year old last week. He was retrieving wild chukars at fifteen weeks and making water retrieves on ducks a few weeks later. After a half year of training I am fired up for the fall season. Good luck w/ your new pup. I hunt big country for chukars, quail & huns, and the German Shorthair Pointers are amazing dogs to watch work. I've seen them lock up and hold a covey over a half mile away repeatedly during the course of a day... ... ... . awesome!

My young girl June at a Field Trial in early Oct, zeroing in on the long bird. . She hasn't started hunting yet, but only because her Mom is still going strong closing in on 7.
