Thanks guys, she is a great little dog. Cant wait for her to get a bit older so we can really start training. Trying hard not to push her and let her be a pup. So far she's done great with intro to the gun (22lr & blanks) and shown great bird drive, so its just a matter of time for her nose to "turn on". She's mostly sight pointing right now.
She's actually a cousin of gsp, she's a french pointer. Same dog, little smaller, little less likely to run off over the horizon
My first bird dog, so I'm learning the ropes here and trying not to mess her up with my mistakes. In reality though, she's going to be a couch pointer, except for maybe 30 days out of the year
giulitto, there are dove up there. I've taken a few dove, but they're just targets of opportunity, I've never set up for them. I usually go for quail. May spend some time looking for some chukar this year too. Had the quail with this recipe this weekend, pretty darn tasty, though one was shot up good.

By the way, I saw your pics, cute pup! I finally broke down after a month of her crying in her kennel at night, I let her sleep in bed now too. Life will never be the same again
