I usually hunt with a field golden retriever and her and I get along and understand each other great. A buddy asked me to take his dog hunting a few times this year. Without getting in to everything, he's trying to provide for his family and doesn't have the time to hunt this year. I've known him and the dog for a long long time and so of course I said yes. I have hunted behind her before, she is an older brittany, and rather hard headed compared to the golden. She seems to run and hunt in a more random fashion. And she seems to hunt for herself. That being said she has a good nose and I've seen her pin and point wild roosters before. In fact I took her out a few evenings ago and she had one pointed within spittin' distance of me, I didn't shoot because the bird flew into the sun and was washed out and I think it was a rooster but couldn't be sure. I'm a little more nervous about correcting her because I don't want to pull her off a bird. To be honest she is a pretty old lady and I'm hoping to get her a few more birds in the event this is her last season.
