Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Favorite dog breed?

I’ve had two Brittanies, both were great dogs. We have a female English Setter. The most loving dog we ever had. Without being a pest about. Great disposition and can make the switch from amped up bird dog to couch potato with no difficulty.

Have three Aussiedoodles here, standard poodle and Australian Shepherd mix. Two are certified S&R, one of the two is also certified as a therapy dog to go into children's hospitals and such. The old man dog of the trio is retired from being a service dog, S&R and therapy. He's happily playing me for a sucker in his retirement.

Love the hybrid mix to death. I would like to have a giant schnauzer one day I think.

Welcome back

Easier to list breeds Id never own.

Chow
Dalmatian
Husky or Malamute
Chihuahua

80#’s is more than big enough. Prefer 40-50#.

Next dogs will likely be another wire haired pointer or a small munsterlander. Maybe a heeler to go with.

Mountain Cur?

This one is a sweet girl for sure!

Ms Scarlet was my heart and soul. With no training she was a perfect bird dog. She knew exactly how to crowd chukar to make them hold, but not flush. She was a natural retriever. In short order she knew how far out or close in to hunt various species of birds...close for quail, in/out/across for pheasant, roam far for chukar, and stick close for those wild sagehen, work on out to locate Huns and keep them on point.

She lived to please me. It was her passion. She knew I thrived in the upland and needed to be my companion and partner there. She was elegance.

darned sand in my eyes






Just a few days before she died, still elegant

Hell of a thing Bruce!

Scarlet was almost overly affectionate, too.

I'm napping and wasn't paying attention to her, so she changed that!


Her son, giant Rocky, and daughter, little Cookie, were always ready to take Owen hunting. Rock worshiped the kid.



Jolly Molly left us too soon. She was a character.

Jenny-Penny is the last of the line. She approved of Owen's shooting.



She claimed her seat in the truck.


Jenny and Rock were a great combo. Jenny worked hard and fast, while deliberate Rocky with his Radar Nose found downed birds Jenny would run past in her exuberance to find more birds.

Rock was a Big Guy!. I'm convinced some Great Pyrenees got slipped into the bloodline.

Now Emily is a family member, a wild child.

Thank you sir, but I don't like dogs.

Mountain Cur/Australian Sheppard mix... hopefully.

Miss Lillie SCB is on the nest... Match 1+/-

Always been a lab guy, but my Airedale is proving to be as versatile as they come.
Shes only 9 1/2 months, but she can hike all day, flush and retirieve upland birds, retrieve ducks, blood trail, etc.

Labrador Retriever, black.

European Dobermans.
Intelligence.
Loyalty.
Athleticism.
Beauty.
They're amazing.
Yeah some health issues.

They're the next chapter.

We had just a fantastic old Rott, but really good ones are hard to find. You'll almost never go wrong with a Labrador (and occasionally turtle) Retriever.
