We love to boast about our great pointers and top notch retrievers. We’re proud that they provide our guests with countless exciting and safe shooting opportunities and the successful retrieval of shot birds. Our talented pointers compete (many are champions) in wild bird field trials around the country. Their extensive experience, excellent manners and exciting posture around birds is what distinguishes them and makes them so popular with our guests. We welcome you to come enjoy hunting over them soon!

Joe (Champion Phillips Time Line)

Mazie about to release Joe at the 2011 Manitoba Open All-Age Championship which competes on sharp-tailed grouse and Hungarian partridge. Joe put down a scorching forward race in the middle of a hot dry day and was named Runner-Up winner!

This is Fin’s (Pal ‘O Mine) third season at Davis Quail Hunts. She competes in (ruffed) grouse trials and was Runner-Up winner in the 2010 Armstrong Umber Endurance Classic for grouse dogs in western Pennsylvania.

Fin spent many winters hunting wild quail in Texas. She is a particularly good “singles” dog, nailing individual birds after the coveys are flushed.

Field Cocker Spaniel Charlie has also been with us for the past three seasons and has it down pat. Charlie is always a favorite with our guests!

Everyone’s favorite…Libby (Pal’s Sea Pearl) shown here pointing a woodcock at home in Maine.

Libby was born and bred in Texas and like her half-sister Fin, spent many winters hunting wild quail and competes on the grouse trial circuit in the spring and fall.

Rick (Quicksilver Becrux) gets ready for his run in the 2010 Pelican Open All-Age Classic in Manitoba.

Cocker Spaniel Frack is always enthusiastic about doing his job — lightening-fast location and retrieval shot birds!

Her first season hunting at Davis Quail Hunts, Rita is the daughter of 7 x Grouse Champion Hard Driving Bev. She too has hunted wild birds in Texas and has competed in grouse trials throughout the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
