The Best of Both Worlds: Hunting with Labs and a German Wirehair | Coleton Johnson

Yeah.

So, well, I mean, my dad would go out, he'd take the dog a bunch of times and when my brother and I would go with them and then he just, I don't know, he'd ask us to come.

Right.

So we started going and he started getting more and more land through these farmers in Southern Sask.

And then, I don't know, we started going.

We'd come back from hockey at like Christmas time.

So here you can hunt till July 15th.

So we'd come home at Christmas.

We'd be home probably December 20th and we would hunt every day pretty much till July 15th.

And then fast forward, I went to university.

Once that was done, I started coming home every fall and then it's just got my own bird dog.

My brother got his own bird dog and we're just going out like crazy now.

So yeah.

That's wild.

So, okay.

What, so what did you get and what did your brother get for dogs?

Uh, I've got another British black lab.

We got her after.

So once the lab started to get a little bit older, we were looking at, uh, pointers.

My dad hunted with a guy who hunted with a pointer and we saw this litter of, uh, German wire pointers in Alberta.

So we picked up one of those.

She, she had some issues.

It wasn't like, it wasn't the best breeder.

at the time we didn't do as much research as we should have got this dog she's probably the best bird dog we have though it's incredible so he got her second she's turning five this year and then my british black lab she's turning four this year so they're a little bit staggered and then my dad obviously once our oldest one gets to be where she can't hunt anymore he's gonna get probably another pointer actually i think is what we're gonna go with next okay
