Dang thats a big old hare. Pudelpointers have always appealed to me. Have heard and seen nothing but good things about the Cedarwoods line. What is your dog like at home? Couch potato? How far does he range in the wide open stubble fields??

Break time in the Partridge country

Where did you get your Griff from? Looks a great dog and you're getting him into awesome hunting terrain.

A very hard to find NW Minnesota rooster. This was the last day of the season and our last 2011 bird.

Hare was 12 lbs. Parker once retrieved a hare from a rangefinder measured distance of 373 yards.

As for personality, he is 1/2 clown and 1/2 evil genius. Honestly, he is a huge suck who will literally climb into your lap if you let him. Like most hunting dogs, he will figure out how to get himself in trouble if he is not exercised frequently.

In the stubble he will punch out 3-400 yards if there is some birdy habitat to check out, but usually ranges from 75- 150 yards. In close cover he shortens up a lot, but honestly we rarely hunt forest.

One thing he used to do, but hasn't for a long time, is bay like a hound - and loud like a hound as well!!! I would love to run him on cats, but don't dare to run him by himself. Maybe if I had 2 or 3 more.
