Thread: Photos of your dog

I regularly have to remind my mut that i am the one with the rifle!

When you are so tired you can’t even climb all the way up onto the couch before going to sleep.

Thor did some great work this morning. The shotgun is an 81 year old SO Beretta salvaged from a wrecked Italian truck by our troops during battle in the Libya desert in 1939. Used the new Falcon tinned #4 bismuth and it worked very well.

New Twin needle harness arrived the other day. Seems to fit ok but haven't put the pouches on yet. A few minor adjustments to make to get the fit right but shouldn't be too tricky. Twin needle were really prompt with the delivery and ordering was really easy.

What size did you go for? Been thinking about getting one for Bo and have generally had good dealings with TN but have sent them and email and messages through Instagram and no reply as I felt their size descriptions were a bit vague. I reckon Bo would be similar size to your dog

@Ryan_Songhurst, I went on to the website and ordered one. There was no size description or photo on the Molly harness so I just had to hope that it was the right size. As far as communication goes they have been excellent whenever I have sent an e-mail. Hannah is the one I have communicated with and she is onto it. info@twinneedle.co.nz seems to work very well.

Hi all just joined back into the Forum.
I hunt over Kona the Vizsla who loves deer but couldn’t care less for birds.

Not really a deer dog but she chased these two up a tree middle of night and kept them there while I got the .22 loaded

Unnatural ears! WTF is going on there? Him wearing his hoody on the couch with his mate…. farkin’ classic.

Here's my 1.5 year old Wirehaired Vizsla. Crazy drive and hunting ability, can do it all from deer, pheasants and ducks on a pond.
I put a lot into this dog in her first year and it has really paid off.
I didn't do the blueprint for my own reasons but took lots of advice from some more experienced gentleman, the main things being let the dog hunt and focus on the stop and recall, and train little and often.
It has been a super rewarding experience and awesome having a quirky little mate tag along.

Cool looking dog, does she work in close on deer? or is that where the "stop" and recall come in, put a stop on her if ranging to far in front.

My last versatile dog I had (Weimaraner) was a gun on game birds and ducks but ranged to far on deer, I had to hunt him with longline (Hand Break) but I readily admit that he didnt have a good stop trained into him and would jump the gun on duck retrieves at first.

My new deer dog (cattle dog), in training, has a great stop and recall. but lacks the hardness that the wei had.

cheers FBD

Thanks mate, she works at a heel mostly on deer doesn't range further then probably 5 meters. She started primarily on deer until we had a few together then moved on from that. They some how know what species you are targeting and work accordingly. Every now and then I go back and do some stop to shot training because she gets pretty keen during bird season.
