What's up unsorted

some of the race team have stronger prey drive than others. The GSPs do great on grouse, pheasant, and woodcock

 

Word. I'm more of a quail, duck, dove guy myself

Good lookin dogs.

 

the male GSP is probably the best duck dog I've had

 

Can they spot and tree a squirrel?

 

sadly, no, but I've had them bring me back squirrels.

no duck photos but here's the male retrieving a woodcock

 

I've never hunted woodcock or any of those yankee birds. That seems like a very civilized day out.

 

happy to guide next time you're in NY or MI

 

better pics of the GSPs

 

Those are 2 totally different places but I'm down for it.

 

Your wife races a scooter with dogs tied to it?


This beyond deserves its own thread

 

I would like to join

 

Are you trustworthy with a shotgun?

 

This is not the place to sort these things out!

 

I shot a shotgun once when I was around 13, it was so loud that I turned around and said "holy **** that's loud" to my family but I forgot to point the gun at the ground so they all screamed at me and dived out of the way like a comedy scene.

That was the first and only time I've held a firearm. I didn't like it, don't like having the ability to blow something or somebody's head off with the twitch of a finger, too weird for me.

In conclusion absolutely not... Although, I am willing to race with my dog tied to a scooter but she's a 3-pound chihuahua so I'll probably just carry her tucked in my armpit.

I can't let Os be the only one posting glamour shots of his dogs so here's one

 

So...No

You can be the Bird Boy, like they have in Mexico. They make good money.

 

I'll sort your things out, friend.

 

believe it or not she has even won races using the hunting dogs. here's the scooter with the dogs from a few years ago

 

the sport for you is called canicross. If that dog can run, so can you, they make a special belt that you tie the lead on to

 

"Look, Dad! It's French people running away!"
