I'll probably keep this thread running posting updates and asking questions as I try my hand for the first time with a hunting dog. As I've posted previously, the wife agreed to a pudelpointer. The pups were born last week. 5 in the litter and all males. Yesterday they had their dew claws removed and tails docked. Not sure which one we'll be bringing home around Christmas, but one of these little guys will be coming to Indiana!

That's cool

Man I need to crawl out from under my rock more often, I never heard of them.

Goodluck, all dogs are great for the soul

Nice looking pups.

I'm still in the indecisive mode when to pull the trigger on a new pup. Keep us posted.

I don't know who's more excited for pup to get here, my two boys or the wife!

I've started reading a couple of books on training dogs that were suggested to me on a previous thread I had started. Funny how in some aspects they contradict each other. One states to absolutely not use the wing on a string thing to play with pup. The other advocates for it pretty well. laugh

OK Good.

Wolters makes a big deal out of that stunt in one of his books on training PDs. Several issues with it in my world.

I'm not thinking I'll use that tool much. Might a time or two just see the little guy point, but not much.

The boys are getting bigger!! I'm guessing it won't be too long and they be up and around more.

Nothing is sweeter than puppy breath. laugh

They're a good breed and can be a lot of fun as a family dog.

The very nice weather over the weekend allowed Mom to take the boys outside for some fun!

I'm not sure which one is ours yet, but this guy, with the red collar (standing) is our favorite.

Had a call on Sunday from the Breeder. He had a few questions for me on type of hunting, training experience, size of dog I preferred, etc. Said he's hoping to decide whom is getting which pup sometime this week. Here the whole crew was on Thanksgiving.

Yesterday, he got a hold of some quail to start getting the pups excited about them. Them being "birdy" doesn't seem to be too much of a problem! laugh

Something to look forward to if he gets bored. That bed was about 3 days old.

Awesome pups and pics! Let the fun begin...
If you don't like dogs, well there's just something wrong with you! Puppy breath is the best. Keep the pics coming so we can enjoy too!

Sorry about that! He's growing and getting the hang, somewhat, of the house rules. He's not fighting the leash much at all and doing pretty darn good in the house. When he's excited he's a bit much for the kiddo's, but they love tossing things for him to bring back! laugh

WOW. Cute pooch!

Hope the 'basic training' continues to go well.

What's his name? Or, did I miss that?
