You didn't get him from Bob Farris in Boise did you?

I'm waiting on a pup from him right now. Pudelpointers will never win any bueaty contests, but I like the way they hunt. We hunt a lot of Chuker and Huns in Idaho, and my springers while I love them really are not cut out for that kind of hunting. Hunting pheasants in South Dakota, different story, much better than a pointing dog when the birds are so thick.
Here are a couple of my dogs, Sunny the one on the left I had to put down in December. She was a great huning dog. Jake is good too, and can go all day. Has the toughest feet I've ever seen on a dog. Picture on the right was his first pheasant hunt.
