    New pups first hunt.

    My Brother and I were off to check a new area this morning, and I decided to take along the new pup.
    Some years back we re-homed a pup that failed an element of its training for the prison service. Hes a brilliant dog.

    So when recently we got a call about a young Vizla they had already re-homed, but that had too much exuberance for its new home. Did we want it? I jumped at the chance to try a Vizla. And yes she has alot of energy.

    Anyway she's a natural and her indicating , casting and range instincts are spot on.

    The result of 2 hrs this morning.

    Well done.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That's should be the 25_250yard sorted lol. Nathan Foster had one done into the Russian 7.62 rimmed round(between 308-30/06)the same a couple or three years ago yours will be much tamer on user end lol.

    Well done and looks like she is going great I'm sure you are familiar with Zoomies now My boy is only half Visla and he tore around like a nutbag every now and again. They need to burn that surplus energy off for sure

    It's great seeing a pointer used for its intended purpose. They are full of energy and a zest for life. To own one I think you need to be the same and make sure they get plenty of exercise and time off lead being who they are.

    Haha. Zoomies is a perfect name for it. She will get in a mood and do laps of the living room and kitchen at warp speed, ears pinned back and the devil in her eyes.

    Saw the 30, and thought I bet it’s been a while since a Cham fell to one, and then saw this

    Great breed.
