Thank you! He’s a helluva companion!Good looking dog!
My first hunting dog was a Visla. Hunted her on pheasants and huns in southern Idaho and ducks in Utah. Wrapped in a blanket for cold duck hunts, but she always was eager to retrieve.I just want to brag about my pup a little...
I planted a couple live quail around my property twice at the start of December to gauge her interest/ability. She was a natural. Planted a couple live quail out in the sage for he to find twice then I started running her with my older griff on wild birds in early December at 5mos old.
A couple weeks of that and she got the idea. By the end of December, still under 6mos old, she was running solo and finding and pinning both grouse and huns. Late season birds. She ranges out a few hundred yards, holds a solid point (minutes long points as a couple she has been 300+ out from me when she locks up) until I catch up, and does not intentionally flush or pressure enough to bump.
I have needed to do zero pigeon work. No launchers or game farm birds. Just wild birds, the way I like it (no pheasants!). Have not needed to shoot anything for her, either, which is good. Ill probably introduce the gun at some point, but I dont really like to shoot birds since these birds are my future with the falcons (and some of the best working pointers I know have literally never had a single bird shot of them so it is not necessary ).
I am really, really impressed.
