[QUOTE="Ugly Dogs, post: 234570, member: 974"] I got invited to go on hunt this week with a buddy and a group of his friends that I didn't know. I brought my two wire hairs (I am not being cocky when I say that I know they are good hunting dogs). There were 12 guys and 4 other dogs, 2 springers, 1 English setter and 1 English pointer. Neither of the 2 springers were very good. One of the springers was just young (1 yr old) and needs some time. You could tell that it has potential he is just young. The other one had as much skill as a regular house dog. Never got birdy and wanted nothing to do with retrieving. But the real surprise came from the other two dogs, I have never hunted with either breed before and had always heard about how big of ranging dogs that they are. The English setter gave about a dozen points. With about half of them being empty points or running birds. She did a real good job retrieving and hunted at a nice range of 20-50 yds depending on the cover. The English pointer was even better. He had at least 10 points and I think every one point had a bird in it. He was great at retrieving and hunted at a 10-30 yd range. I'm interested to see if anybody else has ever had this happen to you, that you hunt with a dog that you have preconceived idea of what a dog is going to be like and have the dog totally blow that out of the water? These dogs totally impressed me. I'm out there with 2 ugly dogs and these guys have "pretty dogs" and they were hunting great. The owner of the Pointer really liked my dogs and I told him that the good thing about wire hairs is that nobody will ever try to steal them for their looks. Plus after the hunt they didn't have to comb out the burs. So again anybody else ever get surprised by a dog? [/QUOTE]
