Gonna make this as short as possible. I know nothing about bird dogs aside from the fact my 9 month old female is a pain in my a**. I got a 10 week old puppy from a bird dog rescue according to them she came from two hunting parents & her lines were all hunting dogs. So fast forward to now. I have ran a dna test and she is about 70% pointer & 20% Llewellin & 10% Irish. This dog doesn’t stop. All she wants to do is run, swim and run away for an hour to I assume to “hunt things” then comes back (has only happened once). She was supposed to be my competition obedience dog but she is extremely spacey. Responds great but could honestly give a damn what I’m doing. I feel like I am trying to get her to do something she doesn’t enjoy. I want to give her a job but I am located in South Carolina and I don’t have the resources for any of this. I’m gonna get some pigeons from a friend who races them and see what she does. I had a few people give me some advice on how to test the waters and see how she reacts. I’m about at my wits end as for having this dog in my home. She needs to run twice daily or she cries all night & runs around our house knocking into everything.
Is all this behavior normal for a dog of these breeds? Also does anyone know of any clubs near or in South Carolina. I don’t mind traveling a bit. What is the best route to take from here as for starting her on birds? View attachment 9310
