[grimmy440]

had a jack russel/beagle a few years back, really laid back dog all day, then bark ALL NIGHT LONG, lol. He would tree squirrels and cats, and then make them stay there all day long, haha. he was a really sweet dog, but he ran away and we couldn't find him...

Nice dog Brian, will she tree Squirrel and Coon ? The country there brings back memorys.

Gary,

She will tree squirrels and keep them moving on the ground. She will also locate them when they do not get up into the trees. In my area this time of year the squirrels are spending most of their time on the ground, hiding in brush piles and the like. Xara helps me find them and trees them. Coons? not so much. I had high hopes for her, but she has turned out to be a good bit softer than I thought. She points well and retrieves fairly well, but leaves something to be desired when it comes to critters that are more hardnosed and want to fight. I frequently run ground hogs this time of year with my dachshunds and I had intended to use her as a "finish" dog for them. So far she has been turned around by every ground hog she has encountered. Showing no desire to get in and finish the job the doxies start. Not truly multipurpose even though she is a Deutsche Drahthaar. Smaller game she has no problem with, so I have decided to use her every way that I can in hopes that she will grow up a little and gain some boldness in the process. She is still a young dog and a real looker.

How old is she Brian? My DD would literally take on a bear. He has caught and killed 2 coyotes and faced down a charging cow moose with a calf. Just curious as I would think she'd be very sharp on just about anything.

[colelkhunter]

Kirklan she is 10 months old. The only thing she has shown any aggression towards is my birds. That didn't work out well for her. She got her ass kicked. She has turned around and ran from three ground hogs so far. She never engaged any of them, nor was she bitten or dominated by anything. She has yet to present the drive or desire to mess with larger animals.

Brian,

She is pretty young to be getting her butt whupped. I thought she looked young, she should turn it on as she matures. I wouldn't let a coon whup her now for shore, LOL thats too much for a young dog.

Dogs are just different, some mature very early and some late and just because some mature early don't make them the best dogs.

Without trying to tell you what to do , if she were mine I would stick with the squirrels for another year and make sure her confidence is not hurt then start her on bigger game if that is your desire. I wouldn't give up on a baby ten month old dog.

I need to practice what I preach. Chip, my old dog was 9 months old when he was crossing ice flows in icy water retrieving Brant but that is different than a fight, smiles

Gary it was my goshawk that taught her that lesson when she charged in on her on a bowperch. Xara got a nose full of talons. She has never fought or been dominated by anything, dog or critter. She actually charged my goshawk twice. Once on a bowperch and once on a kill. Neither worked out well for her. Her problems of turning off larger game were present before any of that and are still present right now. I plan to wait it out a little, but honestly not too long. This is ground hog season and I need a dog that can help the doxies finish them off. If she can't fill that gap for me, then she is just a pointer....and I aleady have a good pointer.

John,
You should know not to let a real dog like a setter get adversely influenced by those short tailed orange and white things!

Here's a couple of Gracie from this week. The bottom one is from today. Im loving this dog.

[Falconer54]

It was 5 degrees, my face and hands were hurting, bird did not finish eating her pheasant and fluffed up and started squealing. Dog just ran up and down a creek, came out on the snow. Just a winter wonderland when your a Springer.

[Pedioecetes]

Hi Rick,
My English Cocker, Buddy, does the same thing. As long as he is with me, life is just one big ball of fun, whether its hunting, doing chores, riding in the tractor or checking cows. He is 11 now and in the last few years has developed the idea that riding in a dog crate in the back of the pickup is just plain insulting. Somehow he's gotten it into his head that his real place is beside me on the seat, well, sort of, what he really thinks is he should ride with his head on my lap while I'm driving. Since we live in the country and mostly drive where seeing another vehicle is an event, I usually cave on the way home.

Man's best friend, gotta love 'em.

[Falconer54]

Cockers, Springers, just got to love them. They are enthusiastic and so optimistic. Every where they go, they see birds in their head, and have fun. If they aren't touching you, they feel left out. Unfortunately, it is going to get muddy here soon, once our 2 feet of snow melts, dogs are going to be a mess. Enjoy your buddy, he is getting up there in years. Thanks Bob.
