Anyone else been doing anything fun with the pups?
 
Nice pics! That pup is only 10 weeks old? He looks huge!:eek: I've been getting my 2 pups out with mom and pops to learn where to find the quail but the birds are paired up already so these runs will stop soon even though its in a no hunting area. I don't want to bother my training birds.:thumbsup:
 
I just picked up some homers last week to start some training. Been working the dogs a little in my spare time.
 
I have been running the dogs a little, got them into a pheasant on Sunday.
Been doing some heel, and whoa on our walks.
John gave me some pigeons and in a month or so I should be able to train with them and have them home for me.

Oh, I have also been picking off ticks for fun as well :mad:

It's camara angle that makes her look so large.
She is close to 20 pounds. I was worried about size I was thinking the female would stay smaller but Chessies don't seem to come in Small only L or XL.
 
That's a fine looking dog Jeff. When he points do the springers look at him like "wtf is he doing?":D

I like the one one in the middle he looks like the type of dog that would like to lay on a porch with you while you drank beer.

Yep, that sounds about right.:cheers: That's my Lb (Little Boy), he was the runt of the litter, now about 11 months later at 52lbs he has 10lbs on dad and about 15+ on his "big brother".:eek:
 
Some really nice looking dogs.

I need to get my two setters out for a little work.
Bird season will be here before we know it, and I want thier manners to be first rate this season.
 
I have been having a blast with my pup. He turned 1 a few days ago and he is going to be underwhelmed running juniors. If things go right I may even get a senior title (and maybe a master pass???) before he turns 2......... If we are to crash and burn we might as well do it at full throttle.

Nice looking dog, OP. Where is she from?

I answered a ad about 1 English setter female and 1 Gordon Setter female for sale. The English setter is 11/2 years old and the Gordon is 21/2" both were full blood with papers. I went to look at them. We took them out of the kennel's and the English roared across the yard and put the binders on in full locked point on a pen of chickens. They were both told to stay after opening their kennel gates and they both sat eager to go but stayed until he released them. The English was a little thin and he said he was having trouble keeping weight on her but then told me he only feeding 1 cup in the morning and 1 cup at night. My concern also was that both dogs were kept outside all winter in uninsulated plastic barrels with the end cut out for a door. IMO, these kind of dogs are not outside dogs in the far north where it can get -30 -40 below zero at times. -20 is common place.

He was a great guy but I believe he just didn't have the time for the dogs. He had a new GSP male pup he was planning to try and train. He told me he paid $700 for the Gordon as a pup and $400 for the English. The English was also pick of the litter, we talked with the breeder. The Breeder asked if we would sell her back to them. Not a chance. He was asking $100 a piece for them with the papers. I took them both. The English came with papers registering through the Stud Book. I will also be registering her through AKC. The Gordon had it's AKC puppy application. He obviously had done nothing with the paper work. I have things in the works to get their papers straitened out. They have both been retrieving dead quail and chukars. Just started them on gun fire with a 22 handgun and rifle. Really working on socialization with other dogs and people. So far, they are doing outstanding.

Good for you, OP.

I can't believe that they stayed out in uninsulated houses. At least it wasn't a horrible winter.
