Here's to a first of hopefully many.

Awesome how old is your Vizsla. Is he on or off lead while hunting?

He's just turned 2 and is off the lead. He's an energetic boy and still gets a bit to far out in front when excited but compared to 6 months ago he's settled down a lot.

watch out bunnies.

Great picture @RabbitStu. I must try to get some pictures of our fluffballs in motion too!

He needs a pack of hounds to run with, at the moment the bunnies have the edge.

my 10 month old springer.

Few beers with Bob yesterday to celebrate his adoption.

This Dopey Bugger just turned 1 .

We have 4 dogs on the farm, 1 actual farm dog, the old 9yr old Lab & 3yr old Vizsla gun dogs & just over a year ago we got this dopey bugger a GSP/ farm dog X from a mates farm after his GSP got at one of his Bitch farm dogs ,the wife got it as a sock stuffer for my birthday/xmas present as the Lab is getting on now & has trouble jumping in & out of the ute etc so stays home while l work on the farm & the wife thought a pup would keep the Lab & her company .

The Lab took on full blown mother duties with it & l found it took to basic commands quickly,was sitting ,healing & staying even when l went out of sight to test it at 10weeks & then started to mimic the Lab when l took it out hunting,as well as the usual tracking & retrieving training we would do the old farm trick of getting it to carry fresh eggs from the chook pen by mouth into mum in the kitchen ,while she threatened me with death if it broke them on her clean floor .

10 weeks with no idea how the hole got in the drive




The lunatic started pointing rabbits at 4 months old like the Vizsla & duck season this year the silly old Lab would drop ducks she had retrieved from the water for it on the bank & the loony would retrieve back to the hide for us ,like it had watched "mum" do ,nearly turning it self inside out wagging its tail it was so proud of itself .It then started retrieving the ducks from the water much to the Labs disgust & then joy at being able to sit in the warm hide until the sun came up proper while the young idiot got wet.

I am lucky to have good hunting on private properties close to the farm, so it has been on a lot of deer & pig hunts shadowing the Vizsla ,during lock down the neighbor to us broke his Hip coming off a horse ,so has asked we take over the pest control in the back hills as his days of climbing them is done for a while, so he put in a gate on the back adjoining block & we just take the quad or SXS through after a phone call ,too easy & we have been spotlighting at least once a week as he had let numbers get up compared to us

One of the Labs party tricks was she use to love riding the back of the ute or SXS & retrieve shot rabbits & drop them in a pile in the back ,all while we never had to leave the warmth of the cab .Well bugger me friday night me & the missus took the dogs along while we spotlighted, with the 3 dogs in the back & this dopey bastard started retrieving the rabbits all on its own with never being shown by me, only from shadowing the Lab .

The look of disgust on the face on the Vizsla each time nearly had my missus wetting her pants & when the rabbits were gently dropped onto the growing pile in the back of the ute ,the Vizsla would turn away & not even look, the old Lab just had that proud mum look.I kept 30 rabbits for dog tucker & after skinning them not one had teeth marks, Dopey Bugger has a lot of potential & the Vizsla will have the shits on not being the main Deer dog now .

First Birthday hound
