    Some dogs are more enthusiastic then others.

    Funny vid. I am guessing the first dog is young and not experienced in water retrieval. Stoney Kennels has a video how to introduce ones dog to water retrieval. Even a pheasant hunter just might shoot a pheasant over water so its better that his or her hunting dog can do a water retrieval then...
