    Waterfowling dogs

    Cedarwood kennel in Idaho. Though any breeder on pudelpointer.org should be excellent due to the high standards imposed by the parent organization.

    Every pudelpointers I've come across are great dogs. Most are hard hunting well prior to their first birthday. Definitely worth looking into as well.

    Some pheasant pate that the chef at my work made. Sublime eating.

    Yeah, the old hat bartender at the place I worked after college was a huge bourbon fan. He usually got one bottle a year and we'd open at the annual Christmas party. Was really good. The Stagg Jr is definitely more my price range though.

    Is that Stagg Jr? If so, have you ever had the regular George T Stagg?

    Hoping to hunt some gambels in the next 1-2 years. I'll definitely have my dog snake broken and outfitted with boots, etc before I do though. I wish my family land in Illinois still held the coveys of wild quail like it did when my dad was growing up. I would likely hunt primarily quail if that...

    My older dog is her aunt! Found that out after seeing my puppies mother. They looked so alike that I asked and found out my dogs sire is the grandpa of my puppy. Looking forward to another natural ability hunting dog. Will start hunting her this fall.

    Pup is starting to mature nicely. She'll be 12 weeks soon. Can't wait until spring to start training her.
