18 Month old Male French Brittany - Roki (like Loki , but with an R)
His first real Mission on Saturday and pointed like an absolute champ - We'd only done hides up until this point so this was his first real deer per se.
Shot was taken from approx 15m away , and he was bedded down waiting for me to shoot - not something I'd taught but was definitely thankful for.
When they get that Crazy Dog eyes...

The last kuri I saw with that gaze was my unvaccinated pup tortured with Parvo.The only kind thing for it was goodbye
Got the dog away from his usual lunch time walk around the roads yesterday. Took him to a cycle way along the Waikato river heading out of town. Bit of farm land, some water and pockets of bush. The Pukeko were being a bit noisy and he showed a bit more interest in normal towards them. Although not a target species i like to let him do his natural things to indicate, etc. so i can learn his behavior and tells. I dont excite him or congratulate him over what he's doing and pointing in this video. I save that for when i know he's working deer.
Nikau is a week off 10 Months. I'm starting to feel more confident about getting him into the bush soon. Sometimes his range gets a bit too far, and his recall is a little slow. He slows down, hears me but he chooses to ignore the 1st couple calls.

My Wirehaired Dog Bear , he's just 14 months and is progressing well . Great nature and a family pet as well as Hunting Dog . Locally bred here in Taupo and was the biggest pup in his litter , mum and dad are both big dogs . He was 46kg @ 12 months when getting his booster shots and seems to have stopped growing in height now but will obviously fill out over the next year or two. We are planning to leave him entire at this stage.

Bo has always had a bit of a contemplative look on his face :)
I hope he's coming back out of his funk Ryan
Took the dog for a walk to a new area today.

This is Aparima. Rima for short. He's a liver Germán Short haired Pointer crossed with half Vizsla. There is a wee bit of chocolate Labrador in there too I reckon. A natural hunter. I got him initially as a dedicated goat culling dog, but he won me and my family's hart over and is a valued family member.

Bruce is starting to hunt well.
Just wish I could get him into somewhere with deer to see just how good he is.

My daughter’s dog Opie. A bitzer mongrel cross breed but watching how he behaves around sheep and cattle tells me there is some farm breeding in his lineage as he is all eyes on and head down when he sees them. A nice wee bloke that just brought his mum in a baby hedgehog and dropped it on her bed.
Not so mongrel, she has a little bit of French touch ;-)
