So how long did your pup hold that woodcock?… and did he ever retrieve another woodcock?
My Gracie retrieved her first but never again… but she retrieved grouse eagerly. .

Way to go! Now is a good time to keep a journal or at least a tally of that dog’s history.

Day three is a wrap. This pup is figuring things out quickly. Very impressive. And no, Dean, he loves picking up woodcock.

Here is a video of Snoop on point. Gauge (the pup) was behind me honoring Snoop’s point.

That pup is going to make a good one! Tell us about the Parker you are using for these birds.

It’s a 28 gauge GHE. With a nice little ball grip. Magic wand on woodcock. Not so much on grouse. The last point of the day was a grouse that should have been taken. -Victor |
