Our black lab would be in the trough on a hot day and the other idiots would lay in the baking heat panting . Not sure on who felt the heat the most but do wonder about the intelligence of the vizsla and 2 border terriers

You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

This is my dog Woody, GSPxViszla, currently 9 months old, stalking apprentice.
Training going well, still not quite onto "heel" but recall, leave and other basic commands going pretty well so far. Stock proofed apart from sheep which needs some more work. He loves hares and gets sidetracked with their scent unfortunately. Very keen on birds too but they off limits and I can tell when he is after them. Possums are not a problem so far. Gun trained now (started with sound conditioning when he was 9 weeks and than from .22 progressed to .270) and lots of paddock blood-tracking done. At the moment on 2m lead when in bush which is very challenging with the scrubby and windfall shit I normally stalk... He would otherwise just run in big circles so trying to discourage that...
Last weekend I shot first deer over him and he found it (although after but of a struggle). So far so good![]()

Cant post pic of my dog probably for low post count.
Brno .270
I drive, we stalk, he points, I shoot, we eat...
@Pete82 these guys are bred (gsp, vizsla, pointers) to work in big circles ahead, so provided you have a good way of keeping him in range, eventually with some time under his belt give him some room to move in front. You may want to run a garmin alpha device and TT25 collar for this (good home pet insurance), or a longer line. 2m is probably not long enough tbh. I'll let my guy range out 10-20 metres in front pretty regularly, he'll slow down once he's onto something. But that came with decent control on range first. Pretty stressful initially, but you get there.

Lost our GSP about 2 months ago. Wife wanted a whippet for her dog and as a mate for Cooper (GSP) so we got Monty. When my boy died we looked for another whippet and ended up with Freddy. Monty is solid in the bush which was a surprise. They are keen hunters and very quite.

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
