Suede is 3 months old and has been pointing since 6 weeks old. We are looking for a hunter that also wants a pet. It's been a while since I have posted here and I talked a lot about Gracie the mother getting lots of wild pheasants. Suede is from intense hunting stock and will be a fine quail...

I can see a lot of people buying vizslas who do not have the time to spend with activities being the main reason for adoption. I'm sure there are more vizslas being purchased for pets than for hunting dogs which is kind of a shame. I blame that on irresponsible breeders, the ones trying to...

No not offended at all. Its good discussion material that leads to different beliefs and opinions that are good for keeping well rounded. It is a little high, but there are not a lot of vizsla in Idaho so it tends to boil down to buying one for $600 witch is the going rate or buying one for...

Yeah, it might. These puppies are not coming from field trial dogs, just local Idaho vizsla lines. No awards or sweet blood lines. I doubt it matters, but my vizsla will perform better in the field here in Idaho than any high dollar pointer or retriever. I don't take her to the duck blind...

I have 5 AKC male vizsla puppies who will be ready 9/11/11. We have two males that are solid vizsla colors and three with some white on the chest. They have had their dew claws removed and tales docked. They haven't been vaccinated because the mother is disease free as are the puppies. They...

I know what you mean. I have a few areas that offer superb quail hunting but many of the hunts I do,the quail take right off and fly across the river giving me only a covey rise to shoot. I keep thinking I should change from OU to auto with 5 shots but I know dropping multiple birds in the...

Well sure, your quail and pheasants are living the good life there in CA. I would have to say our birds are pretty miserable now. We have had a lot of early snow but it is actually melting and they might get a week or two or who knows the rest of the winter without snow in my part of Idaho...

It's a mystery to me. I shoot approximately 40 roosters a year and that's the first exotic I've seen or shot. I did get a bobwhite last year in the same area which is a bit exotic here because we typically have only the California Valley Quail and a few mountain quail, the latter protected...

The nostrils look just like a wild bird and he had a croup full of Russian olives and he is a juvenile. God bless Russian Olives. They seem to be the primary feed while the ground is covered in snow. Only a couple of weeks left in the season here and the birds are getting wiser every time I...

I think I shot a melanistic mutant today in Idaho. I have never seen one here in Idaho before and there are no game farms or preserves nearby so I am quite surprised. Thought I would join in the conversation and post a pictures for confirmation. It seems to be a young bird with a pretty...
