For those that have been following along, you know I got a red and white setter last year and he just did his first off leash controlled point and stayed on point for 7-8 minutes. I had to woe him a few times because he started to slow creep, but all in all he’s getting it.

I walk him by this duck pond regularly and he blindly chases the little Dickie birds and when he finds a migratory bird his nose goes to the ground and his tail starts wagging. This time he came around the corner, saw the mallard and froze immediately when he saw her. The real excitement for him is when he gets on grouse scent. It’s a totally different tail wag and he searches in a cross type pattern until he gets on the freshest scent and then he takes off after them. Hopefully by fall he can hold himself back to point the upland birds.
