Demonwolf444, fantastic picture of your young dog. I would frame that picture and hang it on your wall.

Tamid, I would like to know about your pocket pointer. Breed and does she or he really point and hunt?

Hi all, well, it's that time of year again to revive this thread. Most of us will be hunting doves day after tomorrow, so a new season will be kicking off.
Lets see all those great posts, pictures and stories as we have in years past.
I want to wish everyone a great and successful season and most of all a safe one!
Good Luck to all of you!
Greg I like this thread also with one complaint, please identify the shotgun you are using or is pictured.

My pocket pointer is a miniature wirehair dachshund. And yes does he hunt. At the time of purchase the breeders would only sell to customers who could prove they would hunt the dog. When the conditions are right (light crusty snow the big dogs break through or very heavy low cover) he will out do the big dogs on upland birds. He will retrieve ducks on land and water and pin down geese. Hobbes is his name and he does not point but rather flushes. He is also a Master Earth Dog. He is now 12 years old and after a couple hours fighting the terrain he needs a ride.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

James, is the good-looking dog a Springer? From where I sit, your restocking looks great. Gil English springer spaniel about 2 and a half years old. Named Meryn ( pronounced "heal heal heal" ) Thank you for the kind words on my restocking i have been practicing self taught these last couple of years, all my previous stocks have been not quite there; this stock is not perfection but i am really quite pleased with this one in terms of the fit, finish, style and lines.

There was an Irishman on the defunct snipe hunting forum who used a teckel (dachsund) in the heather seeps for snipe and woodcock. He ran an unusual combination of a lurcher and a dachsund for upland game and the dogs did the job. Gil While on the subject of "lurcher" (long dog)Here's a rollickin' I have a long dog, I'm a poacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_UprvTJwU0

off to a good start, moved a big covey of blues this morning. Trusty bird dog, new shotgun and a bit of luck put two in the bag. So happy it is "that time of year" again.
