No interest in a shelter dog/puppy? There are all kinds.
I don’t. I want a purpose bred dog to take hunting, with a predictable health history, temperament, and bloodline. There’s plenty of good dogs in shelters, I know first hand from working as a dog catcher, but I also don’t want to leave things up to chance. Done that, been burned.

So I brought the new puppy home yesterday.
His name is Clyde. He’s pretty great.
Although, the second I got home I kinda freaked out, thinking why did I get a dog, etc. I’ve wanted a dog since I lost my last one, but man, my brain is fighting me on this one. Anybody ever do that? I don’t know how to describe the feeling. I guess it’s like a bad overwhelmed?

Clyde has cool like James Dean.
Check out Mike Ritland's dog training stuff.
It is amazin how a pup that size can leave an unbelievable number of bear sized poop piles and if you examine them you can find small remnants of things you did not know he destroyed.
Gus is a smartass back seat driver

Congrats on the pup!
I can’t help you there, because my problem is wanting to bring every puppy I see home. My future nephew in law had been looking for a Boykin Spaniel, and I found him a litter on another message board. He finally picked up his pup a couple weeks ago, and every time I see him I want another Boykin for myself. His Dad went with him to pick up the pup and ended up going back and buying one too.
My wife keeps reminding me that I still have 3 kittens to finish raising and don’t need a puppy too.
DON’T put off getting a dog! Get you one and get going!
Squirrels, Coons, Possums and Rabbits don’t stand a chance! Will work cattle in the pasture or in the chutes like 6 men.
He ain’t worth sh#@ on birds, he just doesn’t want to jack with em. He will retrieve em if you get lucky to shoot, but he finds em scares em faster that I can get a shot off. Have not had a dog in over 30 years, I am pissed at myself for going so long without a buddy!

I had the same feeling when I got my buddy. Before long you will wonder how you lived without a dog.
Dang that’s a beautiful pup
Don’t fret he’ll be a great friend
