Todd's deer retriever

Pudlepointer dog trainer Todd Points reflects on some of the activities of his new puppy, which include chasing whitetail, which I doubt very much he'll be able to retrieve. David Sparks Sportsman Spotlight. It was funny. Speaker2: Watching my dog go from being just absolutely freaked out by a wild flush right next to her to oh wait, that's the fun. What I found out is she really loves chasing deer and knows what they smell like. Probably saw a few hundred whitetail on this land, and she chased one of those for about 3 or 400 yards, and she's really fast. In fact, our host Lee told me I should try to find a 40 yard dash competition to get my dog in. But the really funny thing is, she's a pop and she's pretty adventurous, but she doesn't like not knowing where I'm at, and I've never seen a dog sprint back to me as fast as this dog. Once she realized how far away she was and her retrieved who was really great. We have a local guy, Chad Ryan, who's accomplished duck hunter and trains retrievers, and he's been training both our dogs for about three months, mostly on just basic. He'll hear, you know, get on your place and then force fetch both of them. And man, it made a huge difference having those all that work that went in late summer, early fall to once we get five birds down and search for them, but it always goes back to the dog work. And I'd been on that trip seven times now. It never worked out that I could bring my dog. Even though I brought an inexperienced dog. It was my dog. And watching that happen and watching that growth, it's ten times better than going out and just shooting stuff. It's amazing. Speaker1: Indeed it is.
