Wow that is disappointing. Had many a good day there years ago

Yes she is a Pudelpointer just turned two. I decided that I would return to a pointer after thirty years of Labs. She is probably smarter than I am and seems to pick things up quickly. She was blowing through about half of her points back in early November, now she is sticking them for the most...

It was the first couple times it happened. Man was I pissed. Sitting in the middle of a huge flush with a gun that wouldn’t shoot….

I live between Basehor and Tonganoxie. I have sold home windows and Siding for 30+ years. I am in Topeka and North a couple times a week. I have some relatives up by Sabetha.

Wasn’t meant to be taken personally. Some of you guys have a good thing going living in pheasant land. Unfortunately the birds are more elusive here

It makes a big difference when you’re hunts are 3-4 hours on private CRP in Iowa.😄💪 For those of us that are out there chasing what is left that extra lb gets pretty heavy by the end of the day. I retired my 11-87 to my oldest about 15 years ago in favor of a 16ga Citori at about 6lbs

Nice looking labs. I changed breeds a couple years ago but will always have a fondness for labs especially the black ones

That’s a nice picture

Had an appointment up north with a customer and figured I would throw the dog in the truck and hit a couple small spots a family member owns up north of topeka a half hr or so. He doesn’t bird hunt but doesn’t want it disturbed till after deer season. Usually good for a rooster or two if I’m...

I would agree to the above. I have not owned a Draht but have hunted with a couple and a neighbor has one. From what I have gathered the fur drive is stronger in the Drahts and they can demand a bit more from their handlers. I have had a Pudelpointer for about a year and a half. I will say she...

Based on other posts HOT may be fairly subjective…. May not want the pictures

I have a similar process with a heavy wire comb. She really doesn’t like me messing with her ears. But she gets wax build up and I have to trim them out. It starts stinking at some point

Yeah mine does the same thing but she ends up eating them too for whatever reason. Then I have to listen to her hacking them up, sometimes she ends up throwing up during this process. I have used mane and tail or some cooking spray which does help some. She has wire hair on her back but it’s...

This is interesting. I recently switched back to a pointer after several labs. She is a two year old Pudelpointer. Pros: she has a very high motor with great prey drive. She is a decent retriever although not as strong as the labs. Nose is probably better and runs all day. Range wise I am...

Yeah that’s a pretty amazing feat as it is

It’s the same birds he keeps in the freezer

I have hunted with plenty of guys with bells on their dogs. Sometimes we did great…. Sometimes not. Same as when none of them had bells. While I am a big proponent of not making excessive/ unnecessary noise, by late season those birds are on edge the second tires hit the gravel 1/2 mile away...

Dog definitely has the look. Intense stare

Hot day in December

I’m actually heading up that way middle of next week. Used to be a regular occurrence as it’s only an hr and a half from my house. I skipped the last couple but with it being slow beats hanging around the house. Had some great hunts up there 15 years ago and more
