Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs Recommendation on a new gun dog

The choice of dog is an interesting challenge. One friend had a few Llewellins and he loved them.

I have had German Wirehaired Pointers for over 30 years. They suit my needs perfectly. We hunt doves, three species of quail and occasionally stock tank jump ducks here in S. Az. Lucky for them we have an acre of land for them to roam which I believe they need. Once in the house they are mellow but hell on wheels outside. Everyone of my five have been that way.

As to burrs yea they can get a few sticky plants on our mearns quail hunts. As the season progresses their fur get stripped and are easier to clean. Here is first outing last year, a particularly bad year for the Pega Ropa aka Mentzelia Desertorum.


there are two dogs in this pic. Looks like they are wearing ghillie suits.
