Sophie's first points on live birds!

Dad got some birds and I got to hunt real birds for the very first time. Here we go to the field.



Here birdy birdy....here birdy birdy.








Where the heck is that birdy??

Ah ha....I smell you. Made me stop on a dime and stick my tail straight out. Pretty sporty point for my first live bird don't ya think.




and from the front side so you get all of my fine lines and angles.




I held the point for a few seconds then the bird moved and I pounced and flushed him out.




OK. Taking a break with mom while dad goes and plants another surprise for me.




and we're off again. Huntem' up, huntem' up.






and BAM!....another drop-dead gorgeous, stop on a dime point by smell only on a live bird.






I pointed a loooong time on this one. Dad even came up to flush the bird because I didn't even see it.




Holy quail batman....its a bird, it's a bird!



I just couldn't resist chasing this one for awhile. But I eventually came back to the old man. Man, he sure did have a big grin on his face.




I did good, didn't I!!!.....Cheese!!
