Got home with a new hunting buddy today. An 8 month old Deutsch Drahthaar! She's a great little pup. Had a chance to hunt behind her last night, then with her dad this morning. I think she's got some great potential! I picked her up from the Pleasant Valley Kennels, out near Duchesne. Jon Davis is a top notch handler. He's got a good eye for dogs, and is one of the best trainers I personally have met. His finished dogs were A+. I hope to one day have this little pup near that level of mastery. If any of you are looking for a pup, or looking to get your dog started, force fetched or finished, these guys know their stuff. They are together with the Pleasant Valley Hunting Preserve, so they are able to work a lot of birds for many months. Well worth the investment if you are struggling with your dog. Here is a a picture of her on point last night. I'll try to get a better picture of her in some different light, but she is a very dark brown, with the mixed coat in the middle. Sure wish there was more time to hunt with her this season!
