CAJ Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 A freind of mine in Alabama, wants to give me a English pointer that will be born in early February. Would he be old enough to hunt by October. I have never had a pointer, so don't know if I should take on another dog. The price looks good. I have sen video's of them work. The parents of his dogs. What do you think. CAJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setterguy Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The dog will be old enough to accompany you in the field, I wouldn't expect miracles with that young of a dog. Some pointing dogs come out of the womb trained, some take a season or two to really grasp the idea of what to do and how to handle game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I hunted my English the first fall and he did ok. When he was 1.5 years old I also ran him in field trials and did very well. I would work with him all summer and get him on birds as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Black Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I am a big fan of pointers and my hunting has improved because of them. I've also been looking for some time now for a good English pointer. Would he happen to have any more coming for sale? I currently run a GSP and a lab together and have had great success on not loosing many birds. I hunted behind my first English in Kansas and really liked how they perform. Give me a shout back if he has any females left and maybe I can get in touch with him. Anyone else that has a line on English pointers please let me know..

cw642 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I have a pair of L/W males that I held onto from our fall breeding. They both are responding great to training. We will be selling these early summer after some more trianing. We are not breeding this spring due to a new kennel going up in April but will be breeding my female again this fall.
