Thread: Photos of your dog

New collar, a few hours into the back country

Been a long day at the river with Bo,so another dip and retrieve.

This morning down the Bach in the Pre Dawn , l loaded me, the missus & hounds into the Jet Boat for a hunt Sako the yr old Vizsla & Muttley the 13month old ,the unwanted Farm dog/Kelpy / Horny Fence Jumper GSP X .Had another great time on the water getting into tight bits of water with the Jet Boat & a top Hunt for 2 Deer ,with both of nut job hounds doing classic Moon Walking build ups to their own version of pointing ie Sako the Vizsla has been looking at pictures in Guns Dogs monthly & goes into a exaggerated , as l call it Slowly, Slowly, Catch A Monkey mode, where each slow step takes a age & the paw is even put down in stages so as not to rustle dried leaves ,twigs etc , then locking every muscle & shape forming to its dopey version of a Arrow & Muttley not giving a fuck what the Sooky Red Dog thinks & just locking the body up & slowly moon walking in ,then going into its own Slowly, Slowly, Catch A Monkey mode, it copied off Sako after hunting with it since it was 3months old ,then stretching its tail out straight as a arrow, horizontally, on a deer at a distance & then raising its tail into a Flag Pole & quickly quivering it like a Rattle Snake , when it is satisfied its dopey owner could not possibly miss such a easy shot it has set up .

The Vizsla is well pissed off now l am bringing the lowly farm dog accompanying it on "serious" hunts now ,as l predicted & it stood in between mums legs the whole time l was cutting up the Deer & refused any offer of tid bits which it normally scoffs with glee ,so instead the farm dog scoffed both lots with great glee, making sure to triple chew any sinewy bits right in front of Red dogs face .

The Vizsla then proceeded to refuse to sit in between us in the Jet Boat as it normally does & squeezed itself in the gap at the side of the boat next to mum ,while farm dog snuck in licking me in the face ,just at every moment l was concentrating lining up runs through shallow river beds or sharp bends .

(Xpost from H&N as could not be Fooked going through the slow torture of reuploading Pics to site )


Here is the pair of dopey bastards doing the usual lick test, on the Deer Muttley got



Sako the Vizsla doing text book Lock on for mum to shoot her deer



Muttley in Slowly, Slowly, Catch A Monkey mode, note tail position as deer is a way off ,l attribute this behavior to Muttley having very good eye sight & even when it came with us Duck shooting as a Pup ,spotted incoming birds well before the dopey Lab or Vizsla

Took the Hounds out for a Morning Hunt in the Jet Boat .

Sako the 4 yr old Vizsla doing the Old Fee, Fi , Fo , Fum ,l tink sumting tasty is on the other side ,before leading mum to a nice, fat, Red eater .



Trying to show off to Muttley the Farm Dog X GSP



Muttley Locked On to a deer for my Lill Bro ,at just over 1yr old & only really meant to be company for the missus & our Old Lab ,showing outstanding potential as a all round top notch hunting dog .

Cleo and toby happy the sun's gone down. It's a hard life being a black dog in summer

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

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
