Than you qualify with my apologies. Looked like a poodle pointer to me and a nice one to boot. Nothing wrong with a mutt my last dog was an english setter/english pointer cross that was a woodcock's worst nightmare. Used a .410 that day to give them a sporting chance.

Current protègèè is an unpapered $400 dog.

You're a darn good shot if you're shooting woodcock with a .410 :thumbup:

Actually would rate myself mediocre shot at best. Thing is dog was a machine on woodcock. She would find and point them even if they weren't there some days thought of using a fly swatter. Her only weakness mouth like a vise grip render anything meatballs. So deal was she finds, points, locates fallen bird and I'd pick it up.

My Britt picks up woodcock then usually spits them out. Only bird he does that with. Dumbazz but he's my little buddy.

Nineteenth century dog writers called this cross a Dropper, and almost invariably panned its hunting abilities -- but they were all terrible breed snobs who thought the Clumber Spaniel was the best hunting breed going, so we can take them with a grain of salt. On the other hand, Droppers had enough fans that they actually had a name.

Now isn't that interesting.

My first bird dog was a setter, defintely a bird finding machine ... maybe my next dog!! And since we are talking woodcock, here is a pic from 2013 (one of the best years for woodcock in recent times) ... pretty much trained Tessa on them that year as she wasy a very young pup that Fall.

Here is my latest - a proven grouse dog out of exceptional grouse dog breeding.
