Dog pics-Show us pics of your best friend.

Lately I've been feeling a lot of love for my hunting dog who, at 11 years, still spends days afield with and because of how hard she hunts, could easily be taken for a dog half her age. She's proof that being spoiled rotten in the house has no negative correlation to performance in the field. Here are a few pics of my girl. Let's see some pics of yours and if you have a story to tell, let's hear it.

This is my girl as a youth. She is a beauty queen, but totally unaware of it and a complete goofball.


A very successful day afield on opening day of quail season. (Did I tell you she points?) One bird shy of a limit...not her fault. 'nuff said.




Her first trip to the Dakotas. She's never seen so much grass...or so many grouse.



Here we are after a day on the National River Grasslands in Northwest South Dakota. Late October and freakishly hot. In the 90's. We can only hunt very early morning and late evening so the dogs don't overheat. This was the trip my brother joined us for and he fell head over heels in love with her and before our next trip, he'd bought and started training his own lab.


And this is her today. It's dinner time and that gives her the right to get in my lap and let me know supper's overdue. Her stomach is a more accurate time piece than the Atomic clock. She worships her belly.

This is Cloie. She is twelve years old, we think; we adopted her through a pet rescue organizations. She is part Australian Cattle Dog, but 100% cute.

Cloie is adorable. Those aussie cattle dogs are brilliant.

We have a standard poodle, Lucy. Every day when I take her for her a.m. walk she manages to find some branch, tree limb, etc. to take on her walk. I tell my neighbors that she is employed by the lawn care folks and is paid in dog biscuits to clean up.

This is my dog Gambit when he was about a year old. He is a German Shorthair/ German Shepherd mix. He is an excellent pheasant dog as he is big and thin and easily get through tall grass. He is about 80 lbs and is tall enough to rest his head on our kitchen table.

They were bred originally as retrievers and some breeders still breed for the bird hunting crowd. Clearly Lucy remembers her job and is trying to earn her keep.

Lucky, my stray. I'm lucky to have her and she's lucky to have a home. Hence... 'Lucky'.

She came around just before Thanksgiving in 2010. I think she was 7 or 8 when I found her.
Groomer says she is a mix of Jack Russel and Corgi.

That's amazing. Does he flush? point? How is he on the retrieving?

My girl is what I refer to as a pocket size lab. She's about 55 lbs which is perfect for me. All this has got me thinkin' I'll toodle on down to the nearby park and take her for a swim and a walk.

This is our baby bear named Little Man. He truly is our child and all 4 of his grandparents even call him their grandchild. They even fight back and forth of who gets to keep him when we can't take him with us. He is a pure Yorkie all 5lbs of him. Even the breeder that birthed him still sees him twice a month because she loves seeing him and gives us all the grooming we want so she can spend time with him. Yes - he is super spoiled!

What a neat mix. Is she crazy? I have never met a calm Jack Russel or Corgi. They always look like they are going to explode with energy.

This is Walter in his new bachelor pad.

Walter is an awesome name for a dog

This is Walter in his new bachelor pad.

Does Walter have a disco ball and a heart shaped dog bed inside that bachelor pad? He is in fact one handsome rascal.

This same thread topic has actually already been started a while back and there are TONS of pics. Do a search and I am sure you will find it.

He points infrequently, but retrieves anything. We have taken him for pheasant, duck, and dove, and he has retrieved everything perfectly. I trained him myself and he is my first gun dog, so I am pretty pleased that he can do something, let alone something really well. When we go pheasant hunting we go with 2 guys that have a GSP pure bred and a Nova Scotian Duck toller pure, and both are jealous of Gambit!

+1 it's a huge thread. I actually thought this one was the original when I seen it yesterday.

This is my Cattle Dog, Sadie. She's a little over a year old and if I could bottle her energy and sell it I'd put Red Bull, 5 Hour Energy, and Rock Star all out of business. She never stops.
