I used to go duck and goose hunting quite a bit when I was able to. Did a lot of pheasant and quail hunting too. One of my good buddies had a chocolate lab that would bring the carcasses to us. It was fun.
Yeah, my dog retrieves game, but I generally only have him bring back rabbits that I shoot from my porch. It keeps his training up, but he's gotten pretty lazy in his elder years. I was going to have him train a puppy, but the bitch wasn't in heat and the puppy has to be the same lineage.
Well I am sure he will be willing when the bitch is in heat!
It was just bad timing. I have had this lineage since about 1992, with the same sire each time. He's a pretty solid sample and having the sire train the pup is just the easiest way to go.
We're now getting fuckin' hammered with wind and rain.
If the thread isn't open by 20:10, it means my 'net has gone out.
