Yeah she is a character alright as most dogs are... not to keen on her first crossing, by end of the trip she was ok following me across. Doesn't like em too much.

Really enjoy this thread. Just a few photos of my young bitch Kahu. Half a GWP/ Heading Dog Cross. Best $400 i ever spent. She's gone through the BGID Blueprint and has about 10 odd deer to her name. Her first being a Sika Stag which she tracked for a 1km over 3 hrs through steep manuka country after it was gut shot by a friend.

lol she looks pretty keen on those num nums on the table. Ever hopeful no doubt
Sounds like she is shaping up to be a great dog

Took Bea into the Kaimais for her first hunt today.
It was only for a few hours and we didn't see anything but she went really well. She was off the lead and I wasn't sure how she would go. She was all good though. She didn't get too far in front. She would stop and look back to me. So a promising start. I'm heading into Whirinaki next week so we will have a far better chance of getting onto something. Fingers crossed
She's a bit knackered tonight

Here is Ace,taking over the couch.I think she is about 6 now @Danny brought her down to Taupo for us to collect in 2016.

We will be looking after her while Sean goes on his OE.

Such a cute puppy
A couple of weeks before I get my own mini yapper

Searching...


Little clearing coming up... Interested...


Yeap, definately interested...


Creep forward... Frozen now, really interested!


Staring eyes into clearing, can't see anything, super long grass.... Then a head pops up, BOOMFA! Cops a bluebox in the throat at 20 paces


Happy days. Going so good now. Deer number 9, 17mnths old

No wonder he looks so pleased with himself
He looks to be one of those special dogs that don't come along too often.
I would say he has earned the back of the ute mate

Sako who has just turned 4 & now totally switched on to what is required for successfully tracking & locating a wide variety of game from Deer to Quail & all without a word having to be uttered . Today alone Sako & Muttley the GSP/Kelpie/Header X tracked & pointed 3 Deer & 2 Pigs working on hand signals only .

Here is Sako a few days ago switching from having tracked & pointed a Stag to scenting & pointing a nice Boar seconds later ;





Muttley; Papered, Horney, Fence Jumping, GSP Father /Papered & imported , Loose Morals Kelpie, Mother/Header X.

Just turned 14 months ,was only ever meant to be company for our now retired Lab & a general Farm dog to keep the missus company ,now shows more potential than any of the dozen Gun Dogs l have had over the years & all rounder from retrieving ducks to pointing/tracking Deer,pigs.goats etc & will work till drops if allowed ,my bet is will grow into the best Gun Dog l have ever owned .

Here we are trying to have a quiet cuppa & smoko at a favored spot, we leave gear at & Muttley is letting us know Deer scent is drifting up on the morning suns heated air from the valley below. We can tell what is scented as when a Pig is scented the hackles go up .

Glad to hear they are both going well
lol always better to be pleasantly surprised by a dogs' ability, than to get one for a specific purpose only to find out it's not keen on doing the thing you got it for Sounds like Muttley has the makings of a great muttley

Interesting about the Dogs hackles and pigs. Mine have the same reaction.
