Good Dog Runs Amuck

[Bill Murphy]

Chaz, you bring up a good point about Drats and Wirehairs. My Wirehair, Eva, would not go to the top of the cage. She would bite through the wire at ground level. When she was just a pup, being worked on a lead, her first real quail covey started to move on her. I was a trim 200 pounds at the time and she dragged me through a blackberry thicket and I came out the other side, on my belly, bleeding profusely. She did not shed one drop of blood. One of our members witnessed that event and was quite amused.

I use the phrase "single minded of purpose" when talking about Kaiser. That dog would plod through Hell if there were a gamebird on the other side.

He went to a professional trainer for a few months his second summer. When I called to check on him the trainer mentioned in passing that "he is really fast." When I picked Kaiser up I found out why, he was the first dog this guy ever had catch a pigeon coming out of a spring trap. Getting him to point was a treat!
