Chukar’s have been hard to find in my usual hunting areas but Sage, Josie and Molly are all in!

Ryan M’s pup Mollie in Bend, Oregon is enjoying her first hunting season. All worn out and doing well!

“Mollie is doing very well at 7 months! Several successful points and retrieves on all wild quail, chukar and pheasants. Even grabbed a duck out of a pond for me that I hit! I have been working with her a lot, but you did a great job with the genetics and breeding!  She’s a natural”.

Thanks, Ryan M

Hardtrigger’s Ever Higher (Oskar) ran his NA test this past June. Oskar, handled by 12 year old Bryant, received 110 points and a prize I and was featured in NAVHDA’s Versatile Hunting Dog magazine in the August 2019 youth issue. This is what’s it all about! Great job, Bryant! Check out the link to view the article:

Pudelpointer History

Many articles have been written about the Pudelpointer and it’s origin. I found this article written by Craig Koshyk in the September 23, 2019 edition of Project Upland Magazine. I think the article provides one of the best accounts of the Pudelpointer history I’ve seen…

Matt H. from Texas sent this update to me. This is Matt’s second Hardtrigger dog…

Hi Bill

Brought Lucie up to South Dakota for a pheasant hunt and she was amazing. Entire camp can’t believe she’s 7 months old and this is her first real hunt! Nelli did great as well.  Amazing up here!

Hardtrigger’s Twisted Sister (Molly)

110 Points Prize I – NAVHDA Natural Ability Test

Molly ran her NAVHDA Natural Ability Test last May. She scored 110 points and a Prize I. She lost two points due to “cooperation”… I like a pup that has a little attitude!

Hunting

Each new hunting season presents its own challenges. Perseverance and a good dog help even the odds out in finding chukar, blue grouse or sage grouse.
