Although we diverted from the original topic, I don't know if the thread really went bad? Just guys talkin dogs.
I see you have springers. A buddy has a nice springer and we hunted together once last year. Had a good day with 5-6 grouse shot. His pup works close, quarters for the gun and retrieves. All with that stub tail going. We made a big swing through cover that took over an hour. Back at the truck for a drink. While talking about our next move, the pup starts barking, howling at us and dancing around, as if to say "Cut the BS guys. There's more birds to find out there." That was a fun day.
