So I'm from Wisconsin also. I bird hunt with my lab. Your pup reminds me of my first year with my dog. Yours is doing better on the retrieves. It took my dog two seasons to bring them to my hand. She always would stand over the dead bird. I think she got spurred on one of her first retrieves and that scared a bit from picking them up. Anyway great job on the Wisconsin public land. We work extremely hard to get a bird here in Wisconsin. !
Thanks for sharing! Most of these birds are in regularly planted areas but we have a great time none the less. Her natural retrieve made training it pretty easy and quick. Getting her steady on the otherhand... that's been our chore.
I to am from Wisconsin (Sauk County) and I hunt with my almost 2yo Chocolate Lab/Dobie mix, (I know odd combo but she hunts like her blood lines go back 10 generations). The birds we are hunting are 100%planted by the dnr! But man I love hunting my dog!
All that mouthing, dogs is pretending to have a tough time getting a grip but we all know she is just having a little fun with a couple extra bites mmmm pheasant... mine do it all the time “Dude this is a big one [chomp chomp] lemme just get a better grip [chomp] hmm maybe if I go from the other side [nibble nibble] ok here you go [one last chomp] you’re welcome”
Now even though Wisconsin stocks birds. Do they seem to act more wild as the season progresses? Or can you honestly tell. I mean in my eyes. A bird is a bird regardless if they are released or not. Still an adventure!
She was definitely rough on a few of them when they were peppered. We have been working on softening her mouth a bit this off-season. We'll see how she handles the adrenaline a good hunt can bring!
@@aboutdoors262 Thats where my videos are from. Are you a member of a NAVHDA group ? If not you should look in to it we train at Bong all spring and summer.
Only a pen raised rooster would sit there like that first one did.....LOL..... but that dog is doing better than most of these supposed "hunting" dog videos on youtube.....Little more tweeking with training, and some time experience, and that is a brag dog you got there. :)
Great point! I'd have to watch the video again but I'm sure it was either me being young and dumb (the latter hasn't changed), or I was rewarding her establishing point with positive reinforcement. This was her first hunting season and steadiness has been a challenge with her.
What a smart puppy, she's on top of it and learns so quickly!!! A natural!!!
Awesome video. You’ve got to love watching a young dog figure it out. Well done!
Thank you! Couldn't agree more, it's crazy how fast they hone in their instincts.

I would teach "DEAAD BIRD" for when the bird is down.... But thats just me. Nice looking dog and looks like you two had fun.

She sure does all she can to get as much alone time with the birds as possible!😂
Awesome video!
Thank you! Hoping to crank out quite a few similar videos this season along with a grouse trip or two. Fall is getting closer!

She’s a natural for sure and looks awesome. Did you get her from a kennel/breeder and if so, where?
Thank you! Wife gets credit for her looks, she picked her out, but I agree! We got her from Southfield Kennels located in Southern Illinois.

Super hunt
Thank you! Hoping to get a lot more videos this year.
She thinks it's her new chew toy XD

Good girl!
What part of Wisconsin
This was at Bong in Southeast Wisconsin.

Couldn't agree more. Helps her stay steady when they sit tight like that!😂 Definitely work to do but looking forward to next season!

What gun is that?
Stoeger Condor 12ga
Why tell her to whoa when u can see it and shes pointing wounded game? That's a dead bird

Brilliant performance, but give attention on a little bit of over excited behavior.
