Time for an update...Grayson is about 8 months old now and he's grown to a solid 50 - 55 pounds. He behaves and minds well but still has trouble with distractions.
The last photo is as I found him after he had moved up ahead of me and out of sight during one of our walks. His nose was going strong so I assume he was acting on scent, but he was locked fairly solid. He held well as I approached and I tried to get him to at least extend his tail. While he remained staunch otherwise, he would not hold his tail up.
I am hoping to get him on live birds over the next month or so. Maybe a good whiff of scent from a close-by game bird will excite him enough to get that tail raised.
