Cool...go Enzo...
You shouldnt be looking here EBs, this thread would break my heart if I was in your boots :oh noes:
Cool looking dogs pointer . Looks like the pointer has some sore paws . ?
Its just the colour i'm sure its the same as the dogs nose and lips:D
Its from being kept in a Kennel, i thort you could see a cut paw or something( the pointer is my dog that iv lent to the bro for the season)
Yeah he has sores on his paw Munsey, aggravated by blackberry. Lucky hes a tough old prick
Im just glad my dog is liver/ticking colour as he gets torn to shreads in the brairs . My mrs thinks it's cruel seeing me picking thorns out of him.I can feel all the cuts and scratches below the fur but they are impossible to see . My girls would make him stay at home if they new . ,
My dog with another blank night,a few teal on the pond on arrival but no ducks came in:(

Maybe they would. But I bet you couldn't hold the dog back for anything :cool:
He's one of the hardest dogs I've had , like a bull at a gate . My only fear is he loses an eye ,when he crashes through briars etc .
Leaving him home would hurt him more I think. Had my little mate to the vet few weeks ago ,ripped a small hole in his face.
$70 later dog still wants to go shooting ,can't wrap them in cotton wool .They aren't going to thank you for doing that .
I think we worry about them too much, I'm still pulling gorse out of my arse from Northland over a week ago, while the dog is fine
Standing by a Barberry hedge last night waiting for duck ,see the dog pull something out of his paw.Probably a Barberry spike ,pulled it out then spat it & mind back on the job .Some of those Barberry prickles a 50mm ,think our K-9 friends are tougher than we are .
Took the Irish longhaired coonhound out today,
What a day! This was his first full hunt. I took him to the place I found yesterday with high bird numbers. I asked the cocky nearby if I could access the place through his paddocks for a pheasant, his reply was "oh bugger that, not that many down there. Go up into my pine block, much more up there" I was floored! Boy was he right too!
Enzo pointed at least 4 possums in the Toetoe staunchly. This was met with the same response each time. After that he only gave them a passing glace for the rest of the day. As for birds, he bumped, ran, chased his way through the first hour of the hunt, bird after bird. Then, suddenly, he started setting, albeit in a very unsure manner. The rest is history!
Enzos' first solo-set birds
