Here's a pup I'm working on right now .. The last picture is its litter mate
Some dogs on point .. These dogs are "broke" so they'll stay like that till found , lots of them will do it naturally , but breaking them inforces it.
SELECT FOR NATURAL ABILITY FIRST whether it be to point, bay, track or the ability to find game quickly can be bred in...or we can hunt them hard to get results...and we can expect the same from their offspring...
Ruben I believe I read where in 1870 they started documenting them , but there was some prince or rich person somethin like that who had his people do away with the confirmation part of it and had them breed best to best. Then when they brought the dogs over here a lot of the Feild trial guys started breeding English pointer in them to range out further . From what I've been told the ones in Germany now a days or generally bigger dogs and shorter range dogs .. Compared to the field trial lines Here
I bet you'd like the idea of field trial bird dogs .. Your basically trying to convince the judges that you've got the best dog to breed to . With that comes the most flashy/ stylish point , big running / far ranging bird dogs .. The best ones go for an hour straight and are just hauling butt around . .. They don't pace themselves
They'll be running , running , running 800 yards out on a hill top then you'll see them just lift there head whip around and lock up on point ., they'll be like that till you get there , flush the bird shot it and then tell them they can move agin .
Thanks y'all !
