Wanting a New Gun Dog

[BF4L]

I just may take you up on that. Been quite awhile since I was bird hunting and I always enjoyed it.

Well consider it penciled in.

A really nice pic:

Second time playing in my trout stream....so cute when he's checking things out for the first time!

Oh man, if you're in central MA, you're only an hour away...consider it an open invite mister. We'll gun a few birds and then have a couple of cold ones watching the Sound FX of the Superbowl!

Here's a pic from yesterday.

Wow has he grown ! Awesome when wifey loves the bird dog. I have access to 11000 acres of farmland here in the panhandle. The Pheasant numbers were down but I am going to release birds for stocking this year. Like I said if you ever want to take a road trip ( a very long road trip ) Quail and Pheasant season are at the same time.

Real kind of you sir. It's a long shot but who knows?

Looking to get a new duck dog this weekend. Got my eye on a couple lab pups and a 9mos old started lab, going to have to make up my mind on one or the other soon

Post a pic for us Bmurph~

Here's my guy....still growing at 5 1/2 months. Introduced him to a pigeon in a cage yesterday and he went simply apeshit over it.

 

[Bmurph]

I think this guy is going to be the one

 

[Bmurph]

Boy he's growing fast NE, and a good looking fella too

 

[NEhomer]

Gorgeous pup Bmurph.

Released a pigeon from a launcher for Whip today. He LOVED it...and gave a hardy chase.

New guy was zonked out on our way home

Congrats Murph. Glad you went with the andersons.

Thanks, just walked in the door from my trip picking up the pup. Long drive but it will all be worth it

Very nice pup!

I was in contact with a breeder of Llewellins from the UP in Michigan and that would have involved flying the pup. They assured me that it was no big deal but then we found a great breeder a little over an hour away.

Whip came home curled up in my wife's lap and I can't help but to think that it was far less traumatic than a steel cage in a baggage compartment of a plane.

How long was your drive murph?

Thanks, NE

I drove from East Texas to North Texas and it was right at 4 hours each way, so a total of 8 hours. I will be taking him back for training in October.

Oh I can only imagine the plane would scare the bejesus out of a pup. That little guy slept in the passenger seat the entire way home, so he seemed real comfortable. He only woke up when I pulled in the driveway.

Gotta come up with a name for him now? I am sure my 4 year old son will have a say in that. He said this morning he was gonna call him "blackjack". Probably should go with a 1 syllable name thats easier in the field but I was kinda liking Rooster. Anyway we should figure it out this evening.

Jack would be pretty cool.

I love that my wife came up with Whip for our setter pup. I think she may be crazier for him than me!

I have a GSP named Mack, so Jack might be a bit too close but maybe not? I have to confess, I surprised my wife with this one. I have been talking about a new pup since I lost my other dog in Feb, but I don't think she thought I was going to take the leap again, so soon. Needless to say she was a little miffed, but she will come around. It may just cost me something that sparkles or a purse, or something.

Glad your wife is such a big fan of Whip, he's a beautiful pup, I can see why.
