I was given an english setter. He's 8 months old. His name was freckles. I changed it to Fred. Freckles was a little embarrassing for him.
Anyway, he was shy and cowering at first. I have had him for a few months now and he is AWESOME!!!!! He retrieves, points, flushes. I haven't really taught him these things. I've just played games with him to get him over his shyness. He just wants to please me and he is a natural.
I have english pointers, which I love, and german pointer. But, this guy just has a great attitude.
Have you ever just clicked with a dog??

I have a weimaraner/english pointer mix that I got at our local animal shelter when she was 9 weeks old. This is my first hunting dog but i have put my time in with her and she is spectacular. I even hunted her in a competition this past winter where she out performed me . You get out what you put in my firends and once in a while you get lucky like I did and find a dog that aims to please> I named my dog Abby which is short for Abigail which in the book of baby names means one who brings joy. Words can not explain the fun that I have had hunting over this dog. I spen everyday looking forward to our next outting I hope you can all be as frotunate.
