I agree. His natural instincts seem very strong. I need to learn more about how to train him, or perhaps will have him trained, but I'd rather try myself. He's getting walked once daily, sometimes twice daily if my son takes him out again in the evening. Has gone from being very cautious of strangers, to being quite friendly. However, if an unknown man starts walking towards us, he's on full alert! I kind of like that. Here we are, walking in a local park, meeting nice people:

Not the best pic of her tail but you can see it's quite a bit longer than a GWP.


Of course it's unlikely you'll never really know your boys true breed, but he sure looks like a PP to me. As long as he takes to bird hunting and is a great companion to you, you've both won the jackpot! I'd find a NAVHDA in your area and get in on some training days. Take it slow and make sure the obedience is down pat first. Good luck to the both of you!

Thanks! That canyon could be right here a couple miles from home! Same kind of country.

Turns out he's got papers, he's a real live GWP, just has a "liver" coat which is shorter than the norm for other versions of GWP.

Ya, we're working on obedience. He's doing well. Am hoping to hunt with him this fall, but if that doesn't work, next fall is fine.

He's already done some obedience training sessions, and I'm looking forward to more. Not sure how I'm going to proceed with his hunt training... But we'll get it figured out.

Looks a lot like my middle son's labradoodle. He is a large, very friendly rascal who will wear your arm out fetching whatever you will throw out there for him.

Good on you! I agree that he looks an awful lot like a pudelpointer. I'm a fan of the breed, but am biased and relatively inexperienced with dogs.

I agree ...... I'm betting it's a PP as well.

Pointer, Is that this year quail in Indiana? Used to hunt them down in the Evansville area when I lived there. Dogs are looking great on here guys.

No those are from a preserve east of Indianapolis. That said, I currently live just north of Evansville if you know of some places I need to check out... I got a line on a place I may be able to try for some, but it'll have to wait until after deer season. Not a whole lot of birds around this part of the state anymore.
