Bob, Great looking pup! I think getting a young dog when your current dog is somewhere between 5-8 years old is a good strategy to bring a pup into the fold. The pup can learn from the older dog, and the soon-to-be senior can begin cutting back on his/her hunt time gracefully.
Will you run them as a brace?

The older dog is warming slowly. The first couple of days she was stressed and traumatized. It has been a week and a half now and the "play begins".
Once the pup is big enough to run in the field (maybe a month or two) I will begin taking them out back together just to run. Training will be individual and they will hunt alone with some limited opportunity to hunt together. Hunting a pup with a fully trained dog I do not believe is a good idea. I am hoping that Texas quail in my area of West Texas shows some improvement this year. Nothing better than woodcock and quail for training. Bob Jurewicz |
