German shorthaired pointer
From a personal point of view my grandad had them(pointers) throughout his life always liked them and like there hunting style. I get great satisfaction watching them work. And just find them a good hunting companion..

Grandads dogs late 70s early 80s

I've no pics with me while I'm away. But here is a video from last year.

My britany named Reily.
Tracking a pheasant while out in the field. He is just under 1 year here, and was happy with his nose at that stage. Was happy that he remained so calm even though he was close to the bird. Flushed on command too.

Almost year later, he has come on even more and is a fantastic dog. I imagine his (suspected) cousins will make an appearance here later.

A great days shooting, My current record is 14 rabbits and a fox in the one day, I never took a photo though which was my only regret. That was 2 years ago most rabbits I have got since in one evening was 5.

I suppose this is a testament of the levels of rabbits I have reduced for my farmer friend.

He still has rabbits but the field does not move with rabbits these days, Much to the delight of the farmer.
He maintained if there was no cattle on the field the rabbits were keeping the grass in check.

Did your dog retrieve all the rabbits for you?
And if he did, how do you train the dog to sit still while you shoot?
Most times if I get to shoot a rabbit if I am quick I get at least 2 others in the same sitting.
Any dog I ever had would go bolting in after the shot as they were bird dogs.

Tackelberrywho, yes she retrieved all the rabbits, it's easy to train a lab to stay at heel while shooting, what I normally do is make her sit and stay as I am getting into position for a shot she won't budge untill I tell her, While I am walking her I allways take her off the leash and tell her to stay as I walk off sometimes out of sight, that gets the dog used to you doing it,I normally shoot between 12 and 15 every Sunday morning starting in june,I shoot from about six in the morning to about half eight then I decoy pigeons untill about mid-day, my record for rabbits is 68 in one evening about 15 year's ago.

Thats dedication I go for an hour at a time myself, normally evening, Not a morning person:D

Thats an impressive total, I would go home after 10 or so as I would be happy, and the ammo would be a consideration too for me .223.

I have no dog as I travel a lot so it wold be unfair to the dog.
If I ever get my dream dog where I can work from home I'll get another dog!

Like the look of that German Mallards! Reminds me of the standard of Germans that were out years ago! These days a lot of German pointers seem to have a lighter build, more like that of an English pointer!

hi all, here are my 2

Whilst I'm in the posting picture mode, here are my girls, I no longer have the one in front. The yellow one is like a JCB in heavy gorse and bramble cover, I've not seen a Lab like her and her daughter follows everywhere so she now thinks this is the norm

You can see my rifle stick to the right, two sticks one about 1/3 the length of the other and hinged with a bolt and a wire to limit its spread, cost me nothing and the hinged leg makes it very stable, great when taking a stroll after bunnies. I like simple and cheap.

take your time and keep doing what your doing. i would try to practice the drop aswell as it's more effective that the sit at stopping your pup when you need to later on. personally i don't train my dogs to sit

As far as I know, open to correction, but the Irish breeders are essentially French in origin, every now and again a new name appears with obvious French origins
