Thread: Photos of your dog

@Pointer Team is looking good bro. Far Nth mission this year ?

Pointer. I have successfully hunted two dogs together for several years, but four? Do you share 4 dogs between 2 or more hunters, or leave some behind?
Is the team mixed breeds? What are they?

Hi Woody, they are pointers, except for the hairy red spaniel on the far right. Both the red mud spaniel and the young liver pointer pup are my partners, so to answer your question I only shoot over the remaining two.

I don't usually run my dogs braced when shooting alone, I run them alternately, easier to handle one and have one at heel. I will run them braced if a mate is shooting however. Like you I think two dogs is a must for any upland shooter, never seem to run the legs off them that way, and always have fresh dogs up your sleeve

Thanks Pointer.
As age catches up with me I almost always let both my dogs run and hunt together (one died recently) When we get a bird we all sit - lie down and have a blow for a while, which suits me just fine. These days we just plod along at easy pace and get a heap of relaxed enjoyment out of it, and still enough game to be content.

Have some associations over your way. Extended family had a butchers shop in Te Puke, and a kiling shed by the river . Others farming just a bit towards Pukehina. Learned to hunt pheasants on the local railroad tracks when we were young.
