New Places...

2010-02-04T10:19:00.007-06:00

We are finally getting settled in to our new home! Yea!!! Don't worry we have had fun too. Almost every day since we have moved up here we have been able to hunt either quail, pheasant, duck, geese and even crane and that all spells FUN. Our dogs have done wonderful and we really have enjoyed our season, even though we didn't make it to Kansas and Missouri this year. There is always next season...right?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

2009-12-26T23:11:00.004-06:00

We have been busy moving to West Texas and hunting and I have not had a chance to take any pictures... but soon I hope to have some up of our 2009 hunting season!

Angel (Copper and Kylie's puppy from their 1st litter) is turning out to be great in the field, she loves some pheasant!!! Copper and Kylie are not to be out done by the little girl and are still proving to be great bird dogs as well!

Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Christmas and have a very Happy New Year!!!

Dove Season Part 3

2009-09-23T23:26:00.002-05:00

Well..... um..... I have not taken any pictures of Copper! I know this is bad, but I have not been out with him once and no one thinks to take his picture but me I guess. So I hope in the next few days I can get some of poor Copper Top. Sorry boy.

Dove Season Part 2

2009-09-23T23:18:00.003-05:00

Kylie could not wait for this day to come! She has got to be the most excited dog when it comes to hunting. This year I have not taken many hunting pictures, sorry. I have been told to shoot with the gun not the camera so this is all I have of Kylie.

She cant get why the birds don't come her way.

Dove season '09 Part 1

2009-09-23T23:01:00.006-05:00

Another Dove Season is here! This year we have 3 dogs to work and here is Angel on 1st hunt ever! Angel did well but she really didn't like the dove feathers at 1st. I think she liked the quail that we worked her on much better! She still had a good hunt even thought this morning was a miss. Some days are good and others are not, that's why they call it hunting.

I like to think she is looking for birds here but I am sure she is wanting to run to the pond that's not in this picture.

Waiting and looking.......

I shot a bird and here Angel is trying to retrieve it. Those darn feathers!

but in the end the bird is fetched and all is good! Yea!!!

Here is what Angel fetched up on this morning. Not great but for her 1st hunt it was the best!

Angel is still doing well and is just getting better with every day! Now we just can't wait for quail and pheasant to start. :)

Not all play...

2009-08-30T00:24:00.013-05:00

They love the water so not only do they play but they get to work!!

Kylie with a big splash!!

Good job Kylie!!

Your turn Angel.

here is a running splash that never ends!

Good Girl!

Copper is so ready at this point!

Good boy Cop! Good boy!

The Pond...

2009-08-29T22:51:00.008-05:00

This is the only way to go! We took the dogs to a friends pond and let them go. It was a cool way to get through the 100 degree plus days this summer here in Texas.

Here are Copper and Kylie with their pup Angel having a grand time!

Angel...

2009-04-27T20:50:00.006-05:00

Oh my sweet Angel! Working with her is a walk through the park. Her are some pictures of her on point and next time I will try to make sure I get some of her retrieving the dummy also.

The Rope Toy...

2009-04-08T22:32:00.005-05:00

The one toy that they all want to play with is Copper's rope. This is his security blanket so to speak. Copper will leave it outside so no one can play with it. He even remembers days later where its at, just tell him where your toy and hes gone. Here in this post you can see the ways the girl pups try to get it from him. Enjoy :)

~BKP~

One Word...

2009-04-08T22:14:00.006-05:00

NO! This is my toy and you cant have it!! The look tells it all.

~BKP~

Puppy # 3...

2009-03-27T23:26:00.010-05:00

** SOLD**Puppy # 3 - Ziggy. Ziggy is a very pretty marked pup. Loves to play and is also showing good signs of being a good bird dog. Ziggy is also super sweet and will make a great family dog as well!

~BKP~

Puppy # 2...

2009-03-27T22:52:00.009-05:00

This is Angel - pup #2. She loves pointing! She reminds us of our female Kylie and if she follows in her foot steps she will be a very intense hunting dog. Angel loves to cuddle and has that poor me look but don't be fooled! She loves to play and loves her dummy. We call her Angel because she has angle wings.

~BKP~

Puppies we have left- #1...

2009-03-27T22:11:00.009-05:00

**SOLD** This is Freckles - pup #1 and she is still looking for a good home. Lots of ticking, very colorful! She loves to explore on her walks in the woods. This girl is very sweet and laid back. Shows good signs of being a good hunting dog.

~BKP~

Babysitter...

2009-03-25T20:39:00.004-05:00

This is Dixie, she is my dog but lives with my parents. Dixie is 11 and she has been through many pups in her lifetime. She watches them like a hawk and loves to play. I think puppies keep her young and I say that because Dixie acts like she is a puppy herself when she gets going.

The gang loved to bite at her but she had so much hair they had mouths full of it when they pulled away.

Dixie did not like that Copper was taking the toys away from her pups. So she went and got it back!

Here the pups are ganging up on Dixie. This was a first for her, she has never had 6 pups at one time. Hang on girl 5 are leaving in a few days!

What a great babysitter she was! All were safe and sound after our 4 day visit and poor dog, she was tuckered out!

~BKP~

Update on #9...

2009-03-25T20:16:00.004-05:00

This is #9 or Heidi. This is also my Dad and I never thought in a million years this would happen.

Or this! I can not believe he lets her sleep in his chair!

Heidi is doing really well and is pointing strong on a scented dummy. This little pup works great and cant wait to see her in action this upcoming hunting season!

~BKP~

Last day...

2009-03-17T23:05:00.001-05:00

We have had some pups leave but before they did I took some pics of the "little" family! The pups that have left have gone to some great homes and I hope the same goes for the ones left. We also would love for updates and pictures!!!!

Enjoy your pups everyone!!!

~BKP~

Kids + Puppies = Puppy Love...

2009-03-07T17:53:00.008-06:00

Kids and puppies are always so much fun!! We had some little visitors come out to play with the puppies before they started leaving for new homes.

Cute little girl and puppy vs Copper

Cards for the gang. So cute!

GSP's are wonderful with kids! Total package, hunting and family dog. Guess that's why they are considered a versatile dog.

~BKP~

Play time in the yard...

2009-03-03T23:48:00.007-06:00

Its time for exercise!! Everybody run and all in different directions! I think I like the pictures of the pups running the most. Their ears are to funny:)

2 more days and puppies start going to new homes!!!!!

~BKP~

Doing time in the Puppy Pen...

2009-03-03T22:09:00.009-06:00

Time for role call in the Puppy Pen. Everyone line up...

Its water break time in the PP, it was warm today.

Its also lunch time...

Please I ask of you, take me home with you!!

This is what I think about it!

I think I can escape, if I can just climb over the chicken wire...

I am 100% innocent I tell ya!! That's my story and I am sticking to it!!

Help!!!

Just another day here in the old Puppy Pen, but don't let them fool you. They get plenty of play time out in the yard :)

Sent to the Puppy Pen and Puppies On The Rocks...

2009-03-02T22:55:00.011-06:00

The gang has new digs. The puppy pen! The pen provides hours of outside play, which is great when its time to come in to the box and go to sleep. Everyone crashes and not a peep until the morning!

Behind chicken wire at the Puppy Pen! She looks so innocent!

This should be a name for a drink, puppies on the rocks!

~BKP~

Picture time...

2009-02-25T09:27:00.010-06:00

Being that there is a Texas A &M graduate in the house hold and the dogs vet is still Dr. Tommy in College Station we decided to take a few pictures with some school spirit.

This is all 11!

Just the 4 of us...

BK Pointers poster child.

Yes this one is falling a sleep!

They are growing up so fast and in less than 2 weeks they can start going to their new homes!

~BKP~

Born to do...

2009-02-25T07:41:00.017-06:00

Last Sunday we took the pups outside again to play with the scented dummies. Everyone is showing a big interest. All the pups would make good hunting and family dogs. Here are a few pictures.

~BKP~

Its in the blood...

2009-02-21T09:00:00.021-06:00

The gang had their first encounter with the dummies and wow!! It amazes me that at 5 weeks they know what to do!! I guess with hunting bloodlines its like blinking their eyes, they had points and could even follow the scent from the dummies. These pups are going to be fantastic hunting buddies!

I smell you dummy...

~BKP~

Outside adventure...

2009-02-21T09:00:00.006-06:00

The gang is 5 weeks old now and they are active! They all love going outside and exploring.

Chewing on sticks

~BKP~

Yum Yum...

2009-02-09T01:04:00.007-06:00

Today the pup gang tried out puppy food and boy did they love it! It was a big mess but they got their bellies filled up.

This pup fell in.

Here is Angel wings, she likes to get in and eat.

She also ate like this the whole time. Is she trying to take over the pan?

Hungry hungry pups.

What happens when pups have a full belly? They crash!!

~BKP~

New brand...

2009-02-07T11:14:00.004-06:00

Its not crocs any more, its pups!!! LOL!

~BKP~

Fights on..

2009-02-06T16:06:00.011-06:00

The puppies are learning to play with each other! Its so cute to here them bark and growl at one another. The gang is also learning to paw, jump and chew at each other. Here are some action pictures...

~BKP~

First outing...

2009-02-03T18:13:00.005-06:00

Sunday was the big day! No, not the Steelers winning the super bowl. It was the puppies first day out. They went outside to lay in the sun. Some did ok and others cried. I think they still cant see clearly so this was scary for some.

Next outing was in the living room Monday. Which went a little better. I put them down and they scattered! It was like kicking an ant pile.

These are the few who really didn't care, they just wanted to sleep.

~BKP~

Come and get it...

2009-01-29T14:57:00.002-06:00

Do you see the one in the middle? Yes, that's right she is turned around the other way.

She will eat like this every time. She starts out like everyone else the "normal" way, but without letting go she turns around so shes one her back. I wonder how she will eat her dog food?!

~BKP~

Here's Looking at you...

2009-01-29T14:37:00.003-06:00

We can see eyes!! Yeah!! I found out on the Internet that even though they are open they cant actually see, its all fuzzy. This little one will see shadows but in another week should see perfectly clear. This one is called Little Bit because she is the smallest out of all 11 and LB is also the first one to open her eyes. I think she knows she is special :)

~BKP~

The correct way to nap...

2009-01-27T14:12:00.015-06:00

According to a puppy these are the best ways to take a nap...

1)Always cuddle with someone. This provides you a very nice pillow.

2)Sleep with mom, this way you might be first to eat.

3)On your back, tummy or side.

4)Again, the back is always good.

5)In the corner, this provides a great escape cover. They think your asleep but really your going to run.

6)Grab a pillow, puppies are excellent pillows.

7)With your tongue out.

8)Dog pile, this keeps you very warm.

9) The 3 pup dog pile, less crowding.

and...

10) On top of the dog pile.

~BKP~

Little runaway...

2009-01-26T21:46:00.013-06:00

The past few days this is what has been happening. This also happens during the night, fun right. Puppies trying to runaway! One thing for sure, the box is not tall enough at all. I wonder what it will be like when their little eyes are open?

For having their eyes closed still they can move around or out in this case really good.

Kylie will go outside the box for peace but they know she is there.

My favorite picture! Baking in the sun and yes out of the box.

Copper and one of his little girls.

The one on the left is our little bit. She is so tiny then everyone else and look she to is out!

They know she is there, just right outside. Poor girl no alone time at all.

This happened today, the camo bed is much more comfy than the warm blanket.

~BKP~

Hunting Trip...

2009-01-23T23:47:00.013-06:00

Here are just a few of the best pictures from our hunting trip in '08. Its always hard to get a good picture when we are out hunting in the fields.

Here is a picture with a lot of pheasants.

They just keep on coming out.

Geese migrating.

Look close you can see them landing, it looks like a tornado.

~BKP~

The 1st one...

2009-01-23T19:13:00.009-06:00

So we finally have our first puppy showing some ticking. It happened over night!

Look closely can you see them?

So exciting!

~BKP~

Where did they come from...

2009-01-22T21:47:00.011-06:00

Here is a copy of both Copper and Kylie's pedigrees. They each have a strong background in hunting which includes a DC- Dual Champion, a FC- Field Trail Champion and a NFC- National Field Champion. There are still many other great dogs on each pedigree that are not title holders but are big in the GSP world that also contribute. I have found one web site that gives a great history on the breed with many pictures of GSP's great sires and their pedigrees also. I highly recommend everyone to take a look it has some great information! www.westwindgsps.com

~BKP~

Kylie and her gang...

2009-01-22T16:47:00.008-06:00

Just look at that face...

They eat and then they sleep. It a hard job raising 11 pups.

~BKP~

They have arrived...

2009-01-17T12:34:00.006-06:00

Here they are, Kylie and the puppies. 9 girls and 2 boys!

Kylie did such a good job,
Basket full of babies.

how cute.

~BKP~

Kylie & Copper Have Puppies!

2009-01-16T17:26:00.005-06:00

Well they are here, 9 girls and 2 boys! Yes, that's 11 puppies and they are healthy. Kylie is doing great and Copper is still trying to understand what just happened. I will post pictures of the crew soon.

~BKP~

Happy New Year!

2009-01-07T13:34:00.006-06:00

Wow its been crazy around here and I need to catch everybody up on whats going on. Kylie was bred to Copper in mid November, so that means puppies any day now!! Then there was Thanksgiving which was busy and during that time we managed to work the dogs on live birds. We usually try to work them on quail and pheasants before we go up north for our annual hunting trip that we take. Both did very well...

Here is Copper on point,

Kylie retrieving her bird,

she had fun like always,
and here is both on point. Copper is getting better about hunting with Kylie, he has calmed down so much and will work on his own instead of following Kylie everywhere in the field, yes! Normally we hunt them one at a time so maybe this year they can hunt together.

Happy Hunting!

In the next post I will tell you about our trip, so for now your up to date. ~BKP~

Boredom...

2008-11-07T11:27:00.006-06:00

What happens when your GSP gets bored? Anything can happen from eating hangers, hats or geting on the bed and making themselves at home. Sometimes this happens...

what fun a water hose can bring when it has a hole in it! Even this can happen...

Swimming in the horses water trough. And when they run around like crazy dogs you can get some funny pictures, like this one...

LOL :) ~BKP~

Hunting Season ' 08

2008-11-06T11:37:00.001-06:00

Here are some pics from this years Dove Season. It was very warm and the location we were at most of the season was alright.

Here is Kylie waiting for her bird!

Kylie(L) & Copper(R)

Copper & Kylie with birds from a morning hunt.

All and all it was a good season, the dogs were worked and now they are ready for quail and pheasant hunts in Missouri, Kansas and Iowa. ~BKP~

Welcome!
