Just sharing some pictures of my dog Dotte(DOT). She is a 2 1/2 yr old German Shorthair. She has become a great family dog and a pretty good hunter. Recently we went on a "professional" due to the lack of wild birds in North Central Kansas this year. I don't think she really cared and I know I didn't at this point. Her points are solid and its a lot of fun to watch her work.

Next three were from last weekend on the managed hunt...solid points and a good retrieve!!

German shorthairs are great dogs. My niece and nephew were raised by one. Zip's stub tail NEVER stopped moving.

Great pictures.

I miss upland birds and dogs.

A good upland bird dog is a wonder to behold, and it looks like you've got yourself a keeper!
Way to go on your choice of breeds, and the training you've given her.

Congratulations on the dog AND the hunts!

QuoteA good upland bird dog is a wonder to behold,

Amen to that!

I noticed the retrieve and recognized the dog from your Dad's post on last weekend's hunt.

Thanks for the pictures.

In the picture of her sitting, unless my impression is wrong, she is saying, "His bird, hah!, he could not smell a skunk, let alone a pheasant!"

Yo son....there is a thread on this forum called "Hunting with Dogs". Not that it matters much......I love Dot......Thanks for the pics....you may live to be 100 and never have one better, so treasure the memories. Love, Dad.
