Thanks lads
She gets fed 3 times a day and 4 raw eggs mixed in a week seems to add the shine on her
She's comin on grand and is learning all about the whistle and is stopping on command
Of course any advice welcome

She is a beautiful lookin dog, the eggs do wonders for the coat, best of luck with her!

heres heidi now at 13 weeks old
shes coming along great with commands and stopping when i tell her to from a distance using whistle and hand signals
constantly using her nose and sometimes doing a slight point
last week i took her to a pheasant pen and she smelled around and was dying to get at the cock but ignored the seven hens maybe the colours were amuzing her
anyway this morning she had her first solid point
i seen two rabbits playin at a ditch so i ran towards them and they ran up the ditch for about 20 yards and went in
heidi went along ditch and she picked up the scent and followed it right up to where the rabbits went in and this was the result

LOCKED ON SOLID for about 20 seconds
i looked into the ditch and could see the rabbits ears poking out
told her to get in and she walked along the ditch and lockd onto where the second bunny went in
solid point


i dont want her for rabbits but good to see her use her nose and lock on solid perfect except her tail didnt straighten ah well all in good time
roll on november
if anyone on boards got any pups off paul id like to hear how their dog is doing

Same here getting big and getting the beard,he is retrieving well to hand,at home acts spoiled, you could see he liked his comforts,once door is open he is up on couch for a sleep.:)

dodderangler

Grand shine on his coat
My girl is great with my little girl aswell

She's also quite fond of the couch aswell but she knows not to now ( only if I'm at home as the Missus don't like her)

dicky82

two great looking dogs there. keep us posted on their progress.

a few pics from yesterday
done some retrieving work first and going well. moved into a field and seen a cock pheasant at far end of field . he ran and sat down so i thought itd be perfect foe her to sniff him out and set
as we walked down he seen us and ran but didnt stop her sniffing were he was
if you look to the left of the photo you can see where he was sitting down and she mustve assumed he was there as she held this point for about 15 seconds until she smelled something else (him again in deeper into ditch)



and here meeting the locals for first time


very happy so far just wish more birds were around for her to work on

Well took him out today and he retrieved off water for me:D he is retrieving from land and water back to hand and quartering nicely. Saw a cock go into a ditch today and brought him up, showed some interest where he went in, have some videos and tried to download them but it would not allow me,kept telling me a security code was missing and to contact administrators

Have u an iPhone?
I upload mine on YouTube then?
Seems we have water dogs as mine loves the water
Good to hear yours doing good
My bitch was barking like mad this Morning at the ferrets so when I went out the Jill was just after having 9 kits so she knew something wasn't right
And she's always playing with the ferrets she knows not to get too excited or she'll be bitten

Well my one (moose:o) is doing well,had problems with his eyes being full of Puss every morning,brought him to vet got him micro-chipped and checked his eyes,got and anti-biotic did not really work,brought him to the veterinary eye surgeon last Monday,had to operate that day on both eyes,would have gone blind if surgery was not performed. His lower eyelashes were in grown,had to do an incision under both eyes remove a layer of skin and then stitch the eyes back so that the lower eyelashes were rolled back out from the inside,he is fine now you can now see his lovely amber eyes,he must have been suffering all along:(
Lovely temperament,will post another video soon as he is well to go out,next monday a review in the vets

Ah be worth it come pheasant season

Last night I took Heidi out for her first experience with the shotgun and it couldn't of gone any better. Me nerves were at me obviously but went up to hunting grounds.
Started out with my mate at 75 yards and I let her sniff around on the lead and shot went off she just looked and carried on walking. Closer and closer and she done the same till I was right beside him and she again wasn't phased by it.
Delighted with her.

Nice one I have been using the dummy launcher with .22 blanks for the last few weeks, I let him run ahead with the springer and bang off a few shots, seems to be working

He's gorgeous. So much like the female I got. Great dog. Unfortunately I had to pass her off. Circumstances changed and I had no other choice.
Afaik she's in a good home now. Not a hunting home but a good home non the less.
What's he like to hunt? Mine was a demon for bursting through heavy cover and pointed but not a great retriever.

He turned out a great hunter/retriever and great temperament, top retriever on land and water, a bit hardmouthed, some dog on point, if in heavy cover she will give a little bark when on a pheasant, if you drop a bird in heavy cover he would take it up by the roots getting in there. A lovable dog that has not lost his puppynes, lunatic that thrives on company, I take him fishing as well, sorry to hear you had to part with yours, I will put up a video clip of him hunting when I root it out,

Yeah do. I will keep an eye out for the videos and best of luck with upcoming seasons brother.
Great to hear someone else had a pup from same lineage as mine.
He's a credit to you.
All the best.
