Once upon a time there was a thread here (I think) about seal hunting in Scandinavia somewhere, with pics of a dog retrieving seals in the surf (after being shot). Does anyone know where I might find those pics (or others), please? I have tried unsuccessfully using the search function...


TIA for any help.

i searched for seljakt on google images, here are the results:

I got a video of my dog retrieving a seal, not the seal that I shot but another one that swam by. Its on a WHS tape, but I will try to convert it to a CD .
This on the other hand is a friend going after a seal he shot.

And some more seals

Funny, I saw seal hunting and was attracted for obvious reasons and then saw who posted it....

KG, I think where you saw that was on the fuge from the guy in Iceland, if I recall correctly. I'll see if I can find them.

I ate Seal meat in Alaska, near Nome, and I liked it.

I posted some pictures a few years back of my DD bitch retrieving a seal. Don´t think it was on this list but rather a DD list. I´ll send them to you if you like. By the way, we offer seal hunting...

This is in Norway and you get a lot of value for money!!

I shot 3 myself in 3 days. My brother 4 and my dad 2. We could have shot more!

Beautiful slide show. Thanks for posting it.

Great show!

One question.....if you shoot them in the water do they sink before you can retrieve them? I've seen pics of a dog retrieving one so I'm assuming the answer is no.

Thanks for the replies, gentlemen. Norty, when we going? Iceland is only a 4 hour flight...

I can't help you much but I do the Norwegian word for "sunk".

It's "Sunket".

HTH,

Anytime, Kamo Gari.
As for the seals sinking or not, it differs. You hear stories from old timers who claim they know when to shoot but in my experience it´s hard to predict. Safest bet is to shoot them while on land, lying on the cliffs and rocks of our beaches. The skin is nice for accessories, bags, wallets etc.

Adventura,

was your bitch a Landhagen? if not, what kennel in Germany?

where's the DD-list?

Thank you.

Landhagen, that´s right. Drahthaar Central, my posting is no longer there I think. It´s been a while...

What was the bitch first name on the pedigree?

Have you bred it?

Jette, twice.

When are you expecting another litter? PM if you like?
