I know U-D-F and quite a few of you other guys get some really neat dog pics . I just hate carrying x-tra weight and the one Pic I didn't get was yr before last at Moo . Nick's dog Peach went lock up on a Rooster and it woulda been the ultimate cool dog pic . She was locked up and the bird a couple feet away . She was looking back over her shoulder , head cocked back , red eyes looking thru the top of her head - NOT MOVING . Even if I'da had the camera , Nick probably would have stroked out taking a pic and not READY ! I can't offer the pic , but hopefully you'all have some to post .

Here are a couple from memorable hunts.

My BIL's setter Jake locked onto a Bobwhite on a sloppy fall day

My GSP Bode nose to beak with a tight holding Bobwhite on an early fall hunt

yeah , you guys got it ! The one Nick wouldn't go for was Peach nose to tail with that skunk ! Woulda been a great pic though !

DH, as good as pointers are at finding birds and as dramatic as the points can be, the real reason I run pointers is that I just flat love to watch 'em run...

My Pudelpointer Gunner during a training session several years ago.

My friend Bill Schultz's GSP Bella pins a bird during a training session.

Both dogs are now NAVHDA UT Prize 1 dogs.

gsilber - now if you can imagine that GSP with it's head cocked back on a 45 degree angle , looking thru the top of it's head at the bird , that's Peach ... Steve - after I whiffed on that rooster , Peach took it out on Joel - ran his butt in a 300 yd circle at gallop . Me and Nick laughed our butts off as Joel was trying his darndest to keep up . They put up a couple roosters and some stray grouse that we missed - you could tell she was letting off some disgust ! ( i wasn't gonna mention that whiff again , but what the hey !)

Let he who has never whiffed cast the first stone! Very Happy

My GSP pointing the phez about 20 ft ahead of him. Hard to see the left leg is up.

Here he is backing my SIL's EP
