Went back to Wisconsin for a few days. Talked dogs with a trainer. Looked at a dog. Put a plan together. I may have a new dog in February.  This little dog might be enough. We'll know after it's been to Texas quail camp.

Nice looker, no chance it'll be well on its way for this season? The general picture has the feel like the dogs may be out of show stock. If the Texas camp has that much weight in your decision, maybe contact them directly to see what other options there might be. Only thinking out loud, best of luck with it.

I don't think it's show stock. The sire was a grouse champ. I held the dog at heel while rick smith teased it with a pigeon. That little dog just about came out of her skin. Really intense prey drive. She should be a good quail dog if she is tough enough.

Craig, it struck me why you may think it's a show dog. That picture was at a Rick Smith seminar. Those people in the background are doing lead work. I took the picture myself.
