HPR dogs.

[CAVHUNT]

What a photo! 40+ years of hunting/breeding/training Weis was a great investment of my time and effort. But sadly as I age I no longer need a big, full on HPR dog and I do miss having these grey ghosts of the bush.

Mother and daughter. Both long gone now but hopefully waiting to hear my stop whistle again one day.

My old GWP after retrieving a fox shot with the 223. Managed to run on until the dog was released.
The other pics are of a good friend’s HWV. A very versatile dog with an exceptional nose.

This similarly, she couldn’t believe her eyes as I called in a young (stupid) roe buck

Odin the sock eater also partial to deer.

Got him out early on. Always been keen on deer. From a nipper he was scenting them. He's marked a considerable amount of deer for me in the last few years. Found a few deer that I wouldn't have found without him. When he's behaved, worth his weight in gold.

When he's not behaved however

My GWP is six years old now. She’s been stalking about five and a half years now. She’s always found lots of dead deer but I’ve never needed her to find a live wounded one until the other night. She’s far softer than my previous pointer - her great aunt, and I’d always worried how she would handle a live mobile deer.

I shot a fairly sizeable roe buck, it went down so I went to get the dog. When I let her go to find it, the bloody thing jumped up and ran off. I’d only hit it in the front leg somehow. It got about three hundred yards by the time she had caught up with it and broke its neck. She was absolutely clinical about it. I was well impressed.

I still don’t know how I managed to miss it so bad but I’m thankful that I know she can manage it. Hopefully it’ll be another six years before it happens again and her great nephew will dispatch that deer just as efficiently.





This is her in her usual habitat-

Quick picture from this morning. Must be leverets about. The hare spotted us,trotted towards us. Sat 10 yards in front of the dogs and then tried to get chased into the next field. The dogs were steady to her provocations. A good reminder about constant vigilance at this time of year… ground nesting birds and mammals.

That’s impressive! My two b******ds would have been after her in a flash! My daughter let out my peacocks on Thursday, I had 3, now I’ve one!
