I post Gibbs a lot because he’s real cute and looks like a stuffed animal. But today he turned to five months old and went on his very first real hunt. He is such a good little boy. And he couldn’t learn from a better dog.
Starting to look at what I'd like to have for my next upland companion. Grew up with Brittneys, so know them very well. I'm very partial to English Setters for their pointing, holding & gentle disposition. But me & Mrs. are thinking a bit smaller dog would be nice to have. Multiple pet home. Will be an indoor outdoor pet.
I've recently started reading about the Small Munsterlander. Sound similar in size to Brittney. Info I've read makes them sound like they act and work like the Setters I've had. Even better with their retriever skills.
Any info this community could share about S. M.s vs. Brittneys would be most welcome.
I’ve been bird hunting since I was 9 so abt 10 years my dad had dogs when he was younger but never had one with me I’ve never hunted with a dog and always have wanted one I’m now in a position where I can buy one and I know the general breeds people recommend but I was wondering on what you guys think about a springer spaniel my dad had soft spot for these and speaks highly about his old one I mainly hunt ducks but I do a lot of upland birds and doves as well thanks for input!!
Her third upland season is coming up. She is an addict. Last year's season in South Dakota was productive but she took a beating. Her belly came back really raw from the crops by the third day as you can see in the red. Trying to find a vest or chest protector to help out. The ones I've looked at seem to be mostly chest and less belly.
Could use suggestions. Thoughts?
Yeah, the eyes also took a beating so we have a strategy for that. Doggles, daily cleanings/flushing, and meds from the vet. Any other ideas?
