Here's proof, his first point. 5 months old, hardly any wind, and he's pointing on scent. He has had virtually no check-cord work yet, this is just a light run on a quail to see if he has a nose. OK, Nose, check. Pointing ability, check. And, soft mouthed retrieves, too, he brought the bird back very much alive.
Roger and Tustin curl up in Dad's chair to catch a little TV and shut-eye. Two young studs, for certain.
Tustin gets deep into the tall grass with a nice tight point on a rooster pheasant.
OK, let's go get more!
Tustin on a pheasant in a stubblefield in SE Michigan.
Tustin's first grouse, taken in northern Michigan on public land near Houghton Lake.
We got out only 3 times due to a heavy workload this past fall, but Tustin poses with two woodcock taken on one hunt. Remy pointed and retrieved one, Tustin the other. I have promised the dogs that this year will be different.
