Cody backing Mogey.

Got this pic of my dog backing. As my old friend went into flush the covey I said it’s a skunk. I didn’t think he would fall for it but he went to grab the dogs collar rather than shoot at a large covey

You ol" rascal!

Very nice picture. That is classic with 1 dog honoring the point of the dog on point. Does that come natural to pointing dogs or must it be taught?

This made the trip worthwhile for me.

Som dogs need to be trained to back I think it helps to run youn dogs occasionally in braces to help bring out their backing. Cody was a natural backer at 6 months old. I have a video of this still showing him backing my friends setter. But I can’t post the video.

Cody is in a perfect pose while backing. What is the distance between the 2 dogs?
Interesting country. Where in Minnesota are you hunting. I grew up in Minnesota
and do not recall hunting land looking like that.

Thanks Jim. He’s a fun one to watch run.

1st picture is probably 20 yards. Second is about 40 yards. In the video just before the picture he is running a fence line and can’t see the setter as soon as comes around and sees the dog he locked up.

These pics were both down in Kansas.
