i've got a great dane/catahoula named hunter, even though isnt one (best friend by a mile), and a black lab/golden retriever named dixie lane. still got alot of puppy in her. sweetheart but the jury is still out on her getting a job (ducks, etc.).

I had a beagle/dachshund mix. Best rabbit dog I ever had.

Pics?

The "do everything" dog is a Border Collie X Aussie mix..

Fish Dog.

Great Pics... What rifle is that...

Plain Vanilla Ruger 77 in .22-250...one of many I should have never sold....

I have a ghost myself...

May have gotten purged during the reformation.

I named her after an ex-girlfriend, so its likely any pics labeled "Liz" were chunked after I got married.

I'll look though.

Growing up dad had a shorthair female, she got hooked up with either his brittany male or Irish Setter that never would hold a point in his life. Some of the pups looked like the were part brit's, some looked part setter.

Anyways, Scooby was the result of that cross. If there was a better dog on downed birds I've never seen it. He had the run of the farm, would go between dad's to grandpa's to great grandma's house. When you walked out with a shotgun though, he was all business. I wish I could find a pic of that dog, I know some are floating around somewhere at mom's house, but no clue where exactly.

A Pudelpointer. Does everything I need done, from pointing snipe to retrieving beavers. This photo was taken while hunting white tailed ptarmigan on top of a mountain in BC

castnblast great pic !

A guy that I hunted with had one, nice dog... A dog it all mutt...

Cool-looking doggy, I would like to have one.

Plus, a dog that would bring me beavers would be just great!

I had a boxer/lab/weim mix. Best dog I have ever had. I never trained him to hunt but looking back, he had it in him and I should have. Had to put him down a couple of months ago sadly. In the process of researching new breeds. That Pudelpoint looks like a great dog. Good waterfowl retriever?

I have an Airedale, number 3, they have all been great water fowlers, I have never tryed to use them as pointers. The current one is 3.5 months and licking my toes as I type, but so far he swims, retrives, comes, sits, and humps my wife's leg every chance he gets

Pudelpointers must be good waterfowl retrievers in order to be approved for breeding. It is a standard breeding test requirement. Both my 11 yr. old and my 8 month old pup will retrieve waterfowl (or upland birds or furred game) on water or land, and track when necessary. An advantage of the wiry coat is the quick dry with a shake. A couple of pictures from this fall

The old dog " Bear" with a good mornings work

The young pup "Chewie" trying to catch a beaver in the pond at 5 months of age


Bear retrieving a beaver that I shot while the Lab just swims behind and watches the proceedings. 50 lb. beavers are too big and scary for most dogs, even Labs. Labs are undoubtedly better retrievers but PP's have a very strong prey drive.
