Just got back from watching my young dog run at summer camp, and dropping my field trial/hunting dog off. Pheasant numbers are looking pretty good in SD from the looks of it. Here's some videos of us running dogs. The last video is of my dog. Doesnt look like she's missed a beat after 4 months of being a couch potato at home. She was on the ground about 5 minutes before her first find. We picked her up 15 minutes later after find #3.
