As part of our Bird Dogs For Habitat campaign, we want to highlight a few of our favorite bird dog breeds and next up are the pointers. Whether you’re hunting behind a setter or a spinone, the grace and style of these dogs is a joy to watch. What’s your favorite breed? Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever's Bird Dogs for Habitat campaign challenges upland hunters to cast a vote and make a donation on behalf of their favorite bird dog breed. All tax-deductible donations support Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever's wildlife habitat conservation mission – and the places where bird dogs love to hunt. https://www.birddogsforhabitat.org #birddogoftheday #uplandhunting #birddogsforhabitat #whatgetsyououtdoors

Surveys of Pheasants Forever members show that almost 70 percent of us own one or more bird dogs, and that more than half of those companions are either Labradors or GSP's. There’s good reason for that: They get the job done, as do all the other wonderful breeds of dogs we own, from springers and goldens to the setters, wirehairs and Brittanys. But let’s meet some breeds apart that also get the job done, along with the members that love them so: https://www.pheasantsforever.org/breedsapart #birddogsforhabitat #uplandbirdhunting #uplandhunting #birddogoftheday

Today, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever announced a new partnership with The American Petroleum Institute focused on delivering the significant habitat enhancement potential of an estimated 12 million acres of pipeline rights-of-way and facilities in the United States. Ranging from rights-of-way several yards wide to pipeline easements spanning several thousand miles, pipeline operations provide untapped wildlife habitat opportunities to connect fragmented landscapes: https://bit.ly/3LzSaYB #habitat #sustainability #grasslands #wildlife #CalloftheUplands 📸: Marissa Jensen, Pheasants Forever

As we take time to celebrate our four-legged hunting partners this month, it’s also important to celebrate the habitat that allows them to do what they love. But without access to quality habitat, we’d all be stuck at home being driven mad by cooped up setters, pointers and labs! That's why we're highlighting public access projects that fuel the mission work of Pheasants Forever. This week, let's take a look at Ridgeway WPA in Minnesota: https://bit.ly/38zOLfe #birddogsforhabitat #uplandbirdhunting #wildgame #publiclands #publicland #whatgetsyououtdoors Want more public access?

On the Wing Podcast, Episode 165: Teaching Pointers to Retrieve Host Bob St. Pierre’s two-year-old German shorthaired pointer, Gitche, needs a little finishing work this off-season. Consequently, Bob is dropping her off at Dokken's Oak Ridge Kennels for “summer camp” with professional dog trainer Mike Wieben. The guys take Gitche out for a couple of runs on birds, then talk through her performance and the training plan ahead. https://bit.ly/37V97Pw Special thanks to SportDOG Brand for sponsoring this podcast episode and for being a partner in PF & QF’s annual Bird Dogs for Habitat campaign! #uplandbirdhunting #birddogsforhabitat #birddogoftheday #uplands #sportdogbrand

Pheasants Forever and dog trainers around the country frequently get asked by waterfowlers if there's a path forward for transitioning a duck dog to the uplands. As PF staffer Casey Sill writes about and world-class trainer Josh Miller of River Stone Kennels, LLC acknowledges, we can have the best of both worlds with the proper application of time and patience for those “aha” moments you'll never forget: https://bit.ly/3liydLd Have you transitioned your duck dog to the uplands or vice-versa?
