New to gun dogs

I've been hunting upland game for years - but without a dog.  Sure, I would tag along with those that had dogs, but it became nearly impossible to coordinate so I finally picked up an English Pointer (Roxy) from a friend of mine.  She is a year old - very well trained and very birdy.  She stays in the house and blends in quite well with the family.

I've been working with Rocky Watt and his shorthair - Chuck.  Chuck has made some great improvements since we first met up.  He's now holding his point very well.

Here is a picture of Chuck:


Here's Roxy - very intense on her points:


This was just a quick trip to a small lot - maybe 4 acres - in West Haven - we put out two pigeons each using launchers - very fun to see the progress the dogs are making!
