Looks like your going to be a busy Poppa this Winter You need to teach him to bark at tip up flags when they are up soyou can just sit back and opn th ose slow days
Based on the subject line I was expecting a new baby, but this is even better. Congrats. The only bad thing is that you will have to take away hunting time this season to give some training. Good luck
I saw a Yellow lab do that. He sat in the pick up while the guy snoozed . A tip up went up and the dog went bezerk. The dog went running to the hole and just stood and barked until the guy came. It was un real. I watched him do it about 6 times one day
GREAT DOGS. SOMETIMES SMARTER THAN THE MASTER (DOESN’T TAKE MUCH) ASPEN, 8YRS OLD, NOT REALLY A FLUSHER, NOT REALLY A POINTER, MORE LIKE A SNEAKER (YRS OF CHASING TREE RATS IN THE BACK YARD )
Mine has gotten 2 tree rats with a few near misses that he has tumbled and rolled on the ground with. He has gotten 2 wood chucks also. Not sure how he does that. They have some teeth and claws on them.
Oh yeah, there is no sneak in his game plan, it is an all out mad bull rush as soon as the deck door opens.
SHE HASN’T GOTTIN ANY YET, A LOT OF CLOSE CALLS, RABBITS ON THE OTHER HAND SHE HAS FOUR (THE ONES THAT MISS THE HOLE IN THE CHAIN LINK) IF THE TREE RAT GOES IN A TREE WITHIN THE FENCE SHE WILL LAY DOWN AND WAIT THEM OUT, WHEN THAT SQUIRREL IS COMING DOWN THE TREE SHE IS JUST QUIVERRING, MOST THE TIME WHEN THEY HIT THE GROUND THEY ARE ON A BEE LINE FOR THE FENCE AND MAKE IT WITH HER RIGHT ON THERE TAIL, I CAN’T BELIVE SHE CAN STOP BEFORE SHE HITS THE FENCE.
It just so happens that the new pup is from the same bloodline as my 6 year old. My 6 year old is having a hard time. Hes protesting the new pup. He pulled a hunger strike on us yesterday. Maybe some Prozac will help.. He will adjust, it will just take some time. When he realizes he has a fulltime playmate, he will be happy.
