Yeah, he's 12 months. I do not take him to the same area. I change locations everytime I take him out, which has been at least every other day for the past few weeks.
Yes, we have a ton of woodcock in the area right now and that has been where we've been working. He found 4 this morning and they were all coupled up; so I'm getting out of the woods and let them get to business. I don't mind his false pointing too much, as I do think it's something that will go away as he gains experience.
I'm going to give the pup a week off as I'm heading down to Arkansas to pick up my new duck boat. When I get back, I think it will be time to get into the fields and play with some chukars as I described above.
Here's a picture of him getting ready for the water portion of the NA test:
Cheers,
