[QUOTE="Kentuckywindage, post: 2700659, member: 119330"] Awesome photos. Here we had grouse, quail and some woodcock. I trained with pen raised quail. Problem was some just weren't good fliers. I would tuck them and wind them up, set and work the dog into the wind. Of course the dog had to be broke to command. Tapping the bird would get it up. I would then hook the bird with the toe of my boot, kicking it into the air. Good pen raised birds were hard to find. Sprayed and with a decent fly way. Last dog I trained was a GSP for a buddy. He had the launch and control. She turned out to be a good dog. Here a good quail dog doesn't necessarily mean a good grouse dog. Because of bumping up the grouse before point. On the other hand, I entered a Lewellyn pup in a Field Trail at Bob Bailey's which got put in the broke dog class, (which was dirty). 7 month old took second place only because my buddy worked the pup perfectly but missed one bird on the flush using my shotgun. My health came into play, (bronchial pneumonia, still went.) . Problem was that pup had already pointed it's own grouse for me in the bush. Pointing a very good distance from the set quail making it hard for my buddy to find and flush. That pup was out of my dogs stock. Dashing Iron Mike pup. I hunted a few dogs and every one out of Bailey's Mike were good dogs. Might not like water like my Ace dog. Pretty boy.🤣🤣 I finally just threw him in a few times. Problem solved. [/QUOTE]
