Joe Allegretti (of Northridge, CA) writes the following about
Ammo's first hunting season:
On January 23, we hunted quail north of Antelope Acres. I was hunting
with my brother, a friend, and the friend's two year old German Shorthair.
We hunted a fallow field in the drizzle for about two hours, bagging 15 quail
and losing only one (we found the feathers but no bird). |
The pointer probably pointed 30+ quail (our shooting left a little to
be desired). Most of the birds were singles and doubles. Ammo did very well,
working close, flushing 5 or so birds on his own and retrieving about 10
(with a little encouragement, he even went into a tumbleweed patch up against
a tree line to bring out one bird that was still alive). He even realized
that when we yelled "Whoa" to the pointer, it meant action and he would run
up to her (she was usually 75+ yards away, Shorthairs being what they are). |

His marks were pretty good and he had little trouble finding the bird,
delivering to hand without any chewing. All in all we're very happy
with him. He did great in North Dakota, we had a couple of successful local
quail hunts, and he got to retrieve a duck; not bad for his first year.
That's great, Joe! Super job for a young dog, with many more excellent seasons
to come!
Ammo was trained by his owner and polished by Gary Jones of Canyon
Country, CA. |
