I've got to say that I'm pretty proud of my German Shorthaired Pointer pup. He just turned 9 weeks old yesterday. I have been doing the pheasant-wing-on-a-rod game with him since he came home with me a week ago and he really picked up his pointing duties well. Today, a buddy and I took him out in the desert with a couple of live pigeons (flight feathers clipped) and let him hunt them in the brush piles of a sand lot, point and pursue them. Here are some pics from the day and a little video clip of him working the pheasant wing on his first day home (at 8 weeks old). It goes without saying that I cannot wait for the Fall!
