Description:

Dixie is a well started female pointer, and is 2 1/2 years old. She has been collar conditioned, points, retrieves, and has outstanding prey drive. She responds to the commands here (voice and whistle), kennel, heel, and whoa. She responds well to whoa in yard work, but needs work on whoa when pointing birds. Dixie points naturally, with a high head and tail, and will hold point long enough to hunt with now. But she will still break and chase if you take too much time to get to her. This is typically not a problem when hunting with me because she hunts fairly close (within 75 yards or so usually), but it makes it difficult to use her when guiding and I simply have not had the time to completely finish her. The reason for selling is simply because I have several other finished bird dogs that I use for guiding, and between work and 3 kids playing sports etc. I do not have time to finish Dixie (although I have hunted with her quite a bit, and shot lots of birds for her). She retrieves naturally with a soft mouth, and travels well on hunting trips (North Dakota this past year). She is also a very friendly dog and quiet in the kennel. I have debated with myself quite a bit over selling her, she has great potential. This is a chance to obtain a good dog at practically a puppy price, that will already point, retrieve, and hunt hard for you. Located in middle Georgia. Please call Doug at 770-461-6707 if interested.
