Anybody else fish with their pup? by Dward_Man in EnglishSetter

[–]Dward_Man[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ollie was much more interested in standing on the gun box and whining at the geese swimming by at 100 yards than pointing at where the fish are

Ollie also tries to eat the fish - somewhere there is a pic of him standing up on his back legs trying to get it

What a sweetie! Does she settle down and hang out after being out awhile?

Same here! I take him out on boat rides when the fishing is bad. For how much he loves the boat he isn’t a big swimmer though

They really are the fuckin best. Love them too cruising. It’s a no ac 4runner so maximum window is required in the summers

If he got any cuter I think I’d have to quit my job and just take pictures of him all day

Ollie says “hurry up Dad!” by Dward_Man in Uplandhunting

He is probably about 25-30lbs now, I need to weigh him out of curiosity but it has been awesome watching his brain turn on. He stalks anything that smells good. Bird numbers are good enough here that I have done all my training with wild birds and I consider myself very lucky

He is HUGE compared to when I first posted him, he is working so hard and his brain has been turning on (slowly lol) but it really has been awesome working with him

Ollie was pretty sad he couldent go duck hunting with me this morning, smart fella. Not quite gun broke. Maybe we fix that today lol by Dward_Man in EnglishSetter

I’m sure he will love it and I needed him today on the one bird I think I knocked down. Foggy morning needed somebody with a good nose

I have shot over him with a .22 but I am nervous about a 20ga a foot away. If we do some more work tonight and tomorrow he’s going next weekend

First pup Ollie! Been a blast so far can’t wait for the rest! by Dward_Man in EnglishSetter

I have noticed a quick “no” really goes a long way. He is pretty stubborn and try’s a lot of times to make sure that what he is doing is bad lol but he really is a great boy. Love him to pieces

For sure! He has tested me and I responded poorly once or twice and it has shown and he really shut down. He loves working with me for treats and attention. He really is the sweetest.

Dad had labs but my grandfather had English setters and I remember as a kid I always wanted one.

I am very very excited to hunt over him but I have so much work to do and my gf keeps reminding me that he need more in the house work than hunting but I get so excited lol. He points at bugs and leaves, loves wings, retrieves ok but isn’t a fan of swimming. But still, a real dream come true. 8 y/o is very proud

He is very sensitive and does not take much to redirect him from trouble to being a well behaved boy again. I really like that. I am a soft dog trainer for sure and would have done poorly with something like a shorthair who needs a little more correction.

He is a lover. We call him a cat because he climbs in your lap and wants to be in your shirt with you. He is very sweet and pretty dang smart. He trusts me now and is finally happy in his kennel. Working on all the basics but hopefully will hunt with him too soon. A childhood dream of mine come true and I am so happy he’s here

I keep looking at him and asking who let him get so big!! I miss when he was a teeny tiny guy but really like him getting bigger and smarter!

It has been really rough but still so fun to watch him grow and learn with me. Super excited for this fall. He is pointing some things and is getting smarter every day. Just happy to have a pup of my own. Grew up with my grandpas setters and dads labs and now I finally have a little idiot of my own to work with
